You are correct in saying that the two notes clash, what the trick is, is not to move the index finger itself but 'roll' the pressure across the finger. That way you minimise finger movement = speed, but also deaden the string that you aren't playing = no clashing notes
It can be a difficult technique to learn but once you get the hang of it playing arpeggios becomes easy... Hope this helps :)
@bobGuitarMancliffe After seeing the part again while focusing on Paul's index finger (boy that sounded perverted) I notice how he, as you're talking about "shifting pressure in the index finger" which is exactly what he is doing as well as I am doing for most parts where I have to switch between two strings, because switching the index finger and hit the strings individually is way too inefficient than just baring the finger and shifting the focused pressure.
@bitchslapper12 all is right in the world, btw, all your videos are like gold dust, I've been watching them for about 6 hours over the last few days, thanks for uploading them :)
when playing the part from 4:46 to 4:50 how can i stop the sound of the b B string notes so that they don't mix with the other notes?? is driving me crazy... Paul is just doing a 2 strings bar with his index but i don't see him doing anything special to stop the string.... maybe i need some pedal or some effect?? please help me :))
"there's a certain amount of panic in playing electric guitar -oh my god I can't control this thing and it's going BFFFFFFFFFFFFF" lol hes mad bro i tell you
... your audio and video is awesome, but Paul is the reason. Stop asking for comments and stars and you might get some ?! ... your work will speak for itself :) ... then you can smile !!
@Danje1 oh dont get me wrong, its not challenge for me either (more tiring than anything to do something like that repetitively). but his fingers treat it like nothing. if youve seen any of my videos on here youd be able to see just how small my hands are haha. im like that dude on the BK commercials. my pinky is about one centimeter from 2 inches long... thats it lol.

@bitchslapper12 Actually it´s a custom pgm301 that was made with a single coil in the neck, especially for paul, i´ts not available in that configuration, Damn!
@bitchslapper12 thats not pgm 301. pgm 301 still has humbucker on the neck. that is the new pgm, don't know the name yet, and paul said that it has 2% smaller f-holes lol :-)
Don't wanna sound like an idiot...I've seen Paul in Bucharest (Romania) and he played a Marshall Modern Vintage combo...I would like to know if the distorsion comes from that amp or some distorsion pedal. Can anyone help me out?
In the first video there is a fulltone ocd clearly visible on the pedal board. ;) Search google for fulltone ocd paul gilbert there should be a link to jemsite 'How Paul sets up his rig'
"omg its taking off mmmhhhwaa" thats why paul IS the greatest hes such a funny MF i could see his vids being entertaining even fro ppl who dont play guitar
It's actually been scientifically proven that if you disperse your time to around 20 minutes a day you will see better improvement then playing 10 hours one day a week.
i was trying the tapping riff, and realised paul's pinkie is unnaturally long...
