  • He'd make the dirtiest, shittiest pickups sound clean with his shredding :D

  • People who think they can tell the difference between this and someone who can't play doing a really good fake-job are suffering from a delusion. Melody is absolutely indispensable.

  • @GLEACH0001 dont be stupid. even a deaf retard could tell the difference between this and MAB

  • But how about PG and EVH today? PG is still on the top but where is EVH?

  • @WAltomaboi managing a semi-successful amplifier and guitar business

  • Why do this PG vs EVH shit? You know, they are way too different. Yeah, Paul's better at showing off and some of his blasing solos (I really can't call it "songs") are awesome - take "Echo Song" for instance. But what about catchy memorable riffs or just balls? Eddie can play simple stuff in the way, that tears your crotch apart. BTW, Paul's playing "Ain't Talking But Love' sometimes and seems to really enjoy it. So do I.

  • @ZelgadissGreywords There are people in this world who prefer PG's music over EVH's music. it's best to save your opinion.

  • @ZelgadissGreywords That's because EVH was PG's favorite guitarist

  • Just imagine if Paul didn't explain his stuff he could just make a full DVD of shredding :D

  • He missed the first letter... it was a "D"

  • @Buckwheatjay DLICKS? silly

  • @mitchtube3 LoL

  • yogurt colored ibanez lol

  • Paul is a better technical player, but without Eddie he wouldn't have been inspired to do so! You're allowed to like them both you know!

  • come on guys eddie knows his stuff his age now he may be slow But give him credit where its Due fellows he's been thru good,bad,terrible times he was born with a pick in his hand and making the MASTERPIECE of all time FRANKENSTRAT was born.in my book he'll never be Beaten at Music don't care what any of you say.you can e-mail me at dreamride98@yahoo.com replys are welcome

  • hes impossible good!

  • give me an ass :D haha

  • directed by keith wyatt?

  • I digging the pink ibby

  • had me at INTENSE ROCK

  • I just watched that after first seeing it in '92. Still makes me sick and laugh at the same time.

    The problem as I see it with so many players is how seriously they take themselves.

    Just look around on here at all the "serious" musicians - monster technique and no charisma. PG is pure fun and he can back it up and he's been doing that way for years.

  • you are the best guitarist for me paul gilbert !

    tnx for all the lessons that you shared to us.its very helpful !

    now i understand a lot of techniques,

    and my guitar skills are improving! tnx a lot !

  • It's interesting how he still uses largely the same licks in his improv now as he did in the 80s and hes still not bored of them...

  • up until this day, I still haven't seen a string skipping run better than this one 1:11 and Broderick tried to copy it....failed lol

  • Eddie van Halen>Paul Gilbert

  • HE HAS THE SAME FUCKING GUITAR AS ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111one1

    

  • Fuck me runnin

  • what kind of pickups are those?

  • Sorry, I missed 2 minutes of the video due to my ears being blown out.

  • fast + clean = PAUL GILBERT

  • @SLee1337 thats not exactly true... some of pauls songs he already had thought up and written when he was a kid before the late 70's

  • sounds like a wanna be eruption rip-off

  • @djlowgun

    are you serious? EVH is a speck of sand compared to PG.

  • @AngryLlamaz haha eddie shits on him

  • @Cgolfsoccerguy

    Lmao you obviously know nothing about playing guitar.

    Eddie is shit compared to PG.

  • @KellerDude4 I wouldn't say that. Paul gilbert got a lot of the shit he plays now from eddie. Eddie was before Paul gilbert and set the bar for many guitar players.

  • @iKrackeD

    Yes but Paul Gilbert absolutely embarrasses EVH at guitar. They are both alive so there is no reason that EVH would not be around the same skill as PG so really Eddie isn't that good just taps a lot and is loved my shitty/new guitarists and Paul is a whole notch up on the musical scale. I understand what you mean, EVH did come before but that doesn't mean he is better. He is obviously worse

  • @KellerDude4 The thing is though, just because he's really good at speed picking doesn't mean he's better. Because all paul gilbert does is speed pick nowadays. EVH can do everything he can do.

  • @iKrackeD I don't know, man. Eddie can pick really fast but I've never seen him sweep or play those terrifying runs that Paul does. Don't get me wrong, I worship Eddie and prefer him over Paul, but I'd be surprised if he could do that stuff. Having said that, Paul could never come up with the Beat It solo in one take like Eddie did. Incredible.

  • @skrason Exactly what im saying, paul started with tapping and then tried to do it one handed. Tapping all started with EVH. They're both great guitar players, but Paul got a lot of what he knows by what EVH started

  • @KellerDude4 PG can play Eruption. Any teenager without a girlfriend and nothing but time can learn Eruption, these days. But he can't CREATE Eruption. Ergo, as awesome as Gilbert is, he can't hold a candle to Eddie. So, try again.

  • @skrason

    @skrason

    Are you retarded? That's like saying EVH couldn't create Scarified, Technical Difficulties, The Gargoyle, Eudaimonia Overture, because EVH couldn't!!! Have you even seen Eruption? It's simple A minor shit! No, PG would not hold a candle to EVH, he'd be a fucking volcano compared to him you idiot. EVH was great, yeah, but not anymore. The are many better guitarists. You are judging PG from one video and I'm sure you're some Van Halen loving nerd, so nice bias as well. Retard.

  • @KellerDude4 Wow, why so angry? Look, I LOVE Paul Gilbert. I saw him live at China Club in Chicago at a NAMM after party in 1988. I was under 21 so some roadies snuck me in. I wanted to see Paul Gilbert that bad. He was incredible. He made everything look so easy I was convinced I could go home and do it all myself. Hilarious because, of course, I couldn't. But I'm just saying, Paul can't write like Eddie. Eruption, Hear About It Later, Unchained. Yeah Ed's new stuff is terrible but I don't care

  • @skrason

    I can't believe you are actually comparing EVH's songwriting ability to PG's....

    PG is many times better at making a memorable and emotional song, EVH was just the first to play fast in front of people, and Eruption has become immortal because of all the wannabe shredders that love it.

  • @KellerDude4 You do realize that Paul Gilbert LOVES Eddie, right?

  • @skrason

    I would imagine so, but that is completely random. I'm sure Paul would probably never say these things about himself anyway since he is such a humble guy but it is most definitely true.

  • @KellerDude4 Eddie Is Shit Period.

  • @KellerDude4 Obviously YOU don't know anything about guitar ,when you concentrate on both guitarist licks there actually quite similar in a way.It's kinda like saying that Bach was shit compared to Beethoven.You see shredding would basically be an under ground tool that nobody would really use in modern day music , thanks to Eddie shredding is greatly appreciated among most guitarist .But whoever compares music is fucking mental because music is for enjoyment not to compare.

  • @KellerDude4

    Thats the truth.EVH is a good player,but this is way out of his league.

  • @KellerDude4 Haha, you know EVH invented a lot of technichs including tapping, tapping harmonics, pinch harmonics, he also helped to create the floyd rose. And he completely changed the way people play the guitar, he invented fucking shredding. Don't belive me, PG is a huge fan of Eddie, if it wasnt for EVH he wouldn't even play the guitar ;)

  • @IamAGuitarrist

    He didn't "invent" tapping, NOR fucking pinches and tap harmonics ... Nice fail. And it doesn't matter how much he influenced other guitarists, he is still shitty compared to Paul Gilbert. I don't CARE if he was an influence, he is STILL WORSE, how difficult is that to grasp?

  • @KellerDude4 And why is Paul better? because he is faster? haha. I don't think the best player is the fastest, but the one who can create things, like songs that will live for ever, such as Hot for teacher, Panama, etc.

  • @IamAGuitarrist

    Hot for teacher?? What the fuck is special about either of the songs you just said? Hmmmm Silence followed by a deafening roar The Gargoyle Eudaimonia Overture even songs like Scarified? Way better to me, not for speed either. Eudaimonia Overture isnt even a fast song, it's not like Eddie is some writing god. Seriously, I can not stand Van Halen.

  • @KellerDude4 So why is Paul Gilbert better?

  • @IamAGuitarrist

    Watch the vid.

  • @djlowgun no... eruption is a rip-off of paul

  • @djlowgun Gilbert eats pieces of shit like Eddie for breakfast sun.

  • @upheris are you saying Paul Gilbert eats shit?

  • @biiiiirdman BAHAHAHAHA!

  • Paul gilbert is such a stereotypical awkward musician.

  • ok .. thats it for me .. my face is melted

  • i need a pinky extension..

  • No Feel, just wtv

  • Holy Shit! So clean, People say that alot of distortion or overdrive compensates for bad playing, this dude manipulates the shit out of it! Sounds like he's playing through clean channel

  • I bet he, as a kid, masturbates excessively. >.> JK but seriously.

  • Damn that guitar is kinda gay! xD

  • GAH! *throws guitar out the window

  • THIS DIDN'T TEACH ME SHIT!!

  • 0:40 it's like an engine of a car or something starting outstanding!

  • Pretty good guitar masturbating with no melodic traits

  • @RGdood the whole solo is based on melody..else then it wouldn't be a solo. Duh.

  • @roady05 The title of the VIDEO is called "Did someone say they want to see chops?" How was that MUSICAL or MELODIC at all

  • @RGdood Because it is both of those things, If there was no melody it wouldn't sound like a solo..it'd just sound like he was picking at a muted string. The whole solo is based on harmony within a scale and thus melody.

  • @RGdood are you a moron? this is definetly musical. scientifically there is still lots of musical thought going on here. and the thing to remember is that you could definetly take these licks and scales and probably turn them into a real good song. shredding depends on how you use it. oh and how is it even possible to masturbate your guitar?

  • God I love Paul Gilbert :P

  • paul i why can I have your skill

  • the sad thing is,this was over 20 years ago.i bet paul looks bad and is like "man i sucked" LOL.

  • i could do that with practise.............hes just human

  • @fade617 indeed. and i could play basketball as well as lebron james.... with practice. but the amazing thing is that these people have actually put in the right amount of time practicing the right stuff.

  • @fade617 The thing is they did practice. We don't give them fame because we think they are superhuman, we give them fame because they are devoted and love what they do (hopefully they love it anyway) and spent their life getting good at it.

  • I think he is my new god.

  • @n1a2c3k4z5 You, Think? You must mean "He is my new God!"

  • Hey, that's the same lick Alexi plays in his documentary ^^

  • @qdsqd fuck alexi hes shit compared to paul

  • @aerosmith425 I think you're shit compared to all 3 of us

  • @qdsqd HAHAHAHHAHA YOU LOOK LIKE THE BIGGEST FAG FUCK I HAVE EVER SEEN NICE NAME BTW FAG FUCK PAHAHAHAHHA

    PS YOU SUCK DICK AT GUITAR

    PSS DID I MENTION YOU LOOK LIKE A PUSSY

  • @aerosmith425 Ouch that hurts.

    Seriously, I'm pretty sure you can't even play a solo + I'm prolly much, muuuch bigger than you, so go and cry a bit more over the internet you immature prick.

  • @qdsqd how is that possible if you look like a pussy boy

    

  • @aerosmith425 you're obviously not really smart either.

    I'd kick your ass in playing guitar, fighting and prolly maths aswel ^^

  • @qdsqd HAHAHHAHA YOU PUSSY only reason why your talkin shit is cuz its online you would piss your pants in real life

    pussy boy

  • @aerosmith425 Yea sure, I'm not agressive at all, unlike you ;) That's why I have a gf and can actually play some cool shit on the guitar and you're a big ugly pimplefaced big mouth that talks shit but doesn't have a single vid of him playing guitar online?

    Just shut up, I cba wasting time on dipshits like you, I've got songs to write.

  • @aerosmith425 Yerr sure I suck at guitar, check the dates on the vids, it's from over 2 years old. I have lots of gigs with my band where I am the sologuitarist, have a beautiful girlfriend and have enough money to atleast buy 2 warlocks, an Ibanez Rs, Jackson V and a big ass amp to play my gigs with :)

    So until you post a vid of you playing a better & faster solo than I do (which I highly doubt you're capable of) just fuck off uglyfaced child

  • @qdsqd aha yeah man im sure i saw "yerr" vids

    damn man i wish i could keep argueing with you but your too much of a pussy

    one day i'll put up a vid then what will you say?

    haha cya pussy

  • @aerosmith425 I'll prolly say I'm way better than you, which I'm quite sure I am already Haha :')

    Failure

  • @qdsqd which one is your best vid? haha seriously

  • @aerosmith425 For the 3rd time, I don't have any decent vids, I'm WAY too busy with bandpractices and writing songs or helping other bands out to make any vids.

  • @qdsqd your an idiot

  • @aerosmith425 That might be true, but atleast I'm an idiot with lots and lots of gigs with his band ^^

  • @qdsqd dude are you fucking kidding me are we still aruging im a guitrsist you a guitasit obviosuly we got some shit in common (paul gilberu(

    by the way you 420

  • @qdsqd Alright, first off don't come into a Gilbert video and start talking shit. Second, don't be flaunting your "guitar skillz d00d" like you are hot shit, I don't care if you are Yngwie, you are a cocky dick. Third, what the FUCK!? You are what's wrong with the world today, you cocky little man! Why don't you play music for music and stop talking about how "totally hawt" your girlfriend is and how much money you make. Wow, you have 2 Warlocks, what a fucking mistake you made!

  • @fadetoblack1290 first of all, faggot isn't the same as gay, try and learn some shit. Secondhand I did NOT fuckin come and talk shit on this vid, I just said it's the same damn lick Alexi played in his documentary, so try and get the shit out of your eyes and get it straight, lmao.

  • @qdsqd First of all, how is faggot not the same as gay? If you're going to go that far, gay isn't the same as homosexual, either. Second of all, I never said you talked shit ON THE VIDEO, so get that shit out of your eyes and get it straight, lmao.

  • @fadetoblack1290 Lmao, I'm not even going to discuss with a kid that doesn't even know the diffrence between Faggot and Gay, or even Gay and Homosexual. Goodbye have fun with your 2 shitvids

  • @qdsqd Ohh, the feeling of being put down and put into place in front of a ton of people hurts, doesn't it? Yes, you are an idiot. Why did you capitalize faggot, gay, and homosexual? Are they pronouns, or do you just hold them in high regard?

  • @fadetoblack1290 Not really, I have a beautiful girlfriend, I'm just not as stupid to use those pleonasms for the same meanings :) And err put into place or put down in front of a ton of people? If you didn't notice I'm a GUITARPLAYER, I play IN FRONT OF TONS OF PEOPLE every week, I'm not having a problem with whatever ammount of people you moron.

  • @qdsqd Oh, and you're a faggot too.

  • @aerosmith425 Are you gay? Because you are a faggot.

  • @fadetoblack1290 im pretty sure you made a mistake calling me gay im the cool guy of the conversation idont listen to gay shit

  • @aerosmith425 Leave the pussy noob guitar player alone :c

  • This is so 1988 haha!

  • I just torrented this whole thing, great stuff.

  • It looks fake cause he is going so fast

  • @sfh113 i assure u he's just a beast

  • Is he in some band?

  • @xThomas1995 he was in racer x and mr. big, still is i guess, and also solo stuff

  • He's got perfect timing and the sense to do the right licks at the same time plus his vibrato has so much feeling.

  • can you post tabs for this? *jokes lulz*

  • I can play this, just slow with the wrong notes

  • @gesiz22 Then you're a pro! I can't even do that. ;)

  • @Per770718 haha, you can play it too just slow w/ the wrong notes too

  • @Per770718 were all pros, paul gilbert is just more than 10 times pro of all of us combined

  • hello i am 12 and what is this

  • @containznutzrule boy that is God

  • his playing is fucking like a mind orgasm both my eyes ears and mouth are twitching

  • what scale is he using?

  • @Zorron93 all of them

  • @ryankuisti rofl

  • Maximum accuracy - at that speed!!!

  • He is the total ruler of the universe when it comes to acuracy combined with speed, but on his side is the fact that his fingers are 4ft long the lucky bastard

  • i dont know whats worse- the hair, the clothes, or the color of the guitar. but he still shreds like an alien...S-I-C-K

  • @ptdatnurpipensmkit

    You do know what the 80's were right?

  • It's not so much the speed that blows me away (there are lots of guys who play fast), but what makes this guy different is that his technique remains so clean and flawless. It's like playing fast doesn't affect his chops one bit. Very impressive.

  • @patrox247 his isnt mindless sweeping too its got some melody to it

  • And what about his mutant left hand pinky finger??? Paul Gilbert is a complete monster, genetically engineered to play guitar.

  • LICKS!

  • never hear anything sloppy from this guy

  • Comment removed

  • @bman462 there were shredders in the 90s?

  • Comment removed

  • @mulleygraves Yeah ever heard of a guy called Michael Romeo? Or Joe Stump? Or Jeff Loomis?

  • @Whackooyzero lol all those suck compared to this god

  • @hiladelphia Michael Romeo suck compared to Gilbert? I'll have to disagree with you there but I can understand Stump and Loomis to a degree. Regardless I was just listing shredders from the 90's because that one guy said that there were only shredders in the 80's.

  • @Whackooyzero Check out get out of my yard and scarified oh and also B.R.O.  youll know hes better than romeo really

  • Petrucci please take notes!!!

  • Petrucci plays just fine the way he does.

  • One of the best pickers ever.

  • Some of the best nose pickers. LOL

  • holy crap

  • the one thing i dont like about this video is you think youre actually starting to get good at guitar and then you watch this and you realize how far you still have to go to get a just a quarter as good as paul. but at the same time its kind of motivational

  • exactly! I always feel that way when I hear good guitar players.

  • I love the motor-like sound he gets when he picks the lower strings and palm mutes them.

  • i think i was holding my breath for 2 minutes

  • @joelmvp08 you aren't dead haha??

  • i know right..i swear to god i realized that i havent breathed for 2 mins cuz i was just staring into the screen

  • Ah someday that boy's gonna make a fine little guitarist.

    And now I think I'll put my face out because that dude is on fire!

  • @MuscleBound46 i gonna be better than him and all the guitar players

  • Good outlook. I hope you are.

  • @edgarrg94 you'd better start practising ;)

  • this inspires me so much....

    It shows me the beauty of playing guitar

    I ´ll be practicing till I come to this level

  • i wasnt able to breath for about 2 mins

  • This is so fucking fearsome.

    God damn it paul!

  • Wow.. I didn´t know it only took 5 people and 1 semi-god to make an instructional video..

  • paul gilbert has the coolest personality out of all the shredders

  • @sircharliesavior ya hes fuckin hilarious

  • name of that guitar

  • That's a custom model based on Ibanez's RG series from the late 80's

    As far as know Ibanez never made a guitar with the mini-humbucker , or in that color, for sale to the public. Therefore it may not have a specific model #.

  • Only thing cooler than Paul is that guitar! Oh, and Chuck Norris..

  • Paul Gilbert is sick!!!!!!! He is a sick mean dirty nasty guitarist....I wanna give up guitar playing now....forever...I wanna become a barber instead or work for pep boys. Whatever...this makes me wanna cry..

  • haha best comment ever dude lets both become barbers cuz paul owns us all on guitar lol

  • Why ? in every profession there will always be someone much better than you . Just sell your guitar on E bay and kill yourself .

  • Can anyone tab this out for me? lol XD

  • Good luck playing it :D

  • i was joking

  • I know, im not stupid :D

  • ugh, how is that even fair?

  • Give me an S! Give me an I! Give me a C! Give me a K! What does that spell? SICK!
