Paul Gilbert - Olympic (2010) *High Quality*

[CobHatecrewNor]

Damn.. i gotta start using my airplane flanger some more.. He gets such a sick tone using it!

[SomewhereFarBeyond29]

0:40 Anyone hear "2112?"

[dbzsony]

Probably one of my favourite songs from Paul... The arpeggios are incredible.

[fastcarsnguitars1]

1:30-1:51 reminds me of Dime

[Roguestandards]

his guitar playing can even give women an erection lol.

[kokoriko999]

Paul.....Thank you for the music man!!! Thank you for everything!

[splendora]

Not bad, but Paul should work his fluidity and his picking.... it's a little bit "amateur"

[Hotdog40404040404]

@splendora not sure if trolling

[splendora]

@Hotdog40404040404 of course it's trolling! paul gilbert is as cool as he's amazing! ;) I was just kidding

[Exorcized1]

@splendora obv troll .

[leftyzappa]

@splendora So true dude. Paul needs to work on accuracy. hee hee hee

[zaherell]

2:34 - 2:57 : Arpeggios from Heaven.

[62Guitars]

This song is power

[BongHooitz]

What a beast!! And a beast of a song!!

[D3STRUCT0L0LZ]

Paul must like rush

[helmutundhammer]

not bad and pg is the greatest. but didn't that korean kid kind of kill off the whole concept of melodic lead guitar playing with that stupid cliche classical piece? all the who parts are rocking though.

[metallica5252]

@helmutundhammer what are you talking about? and if you're talking about Canon Rock then you're just an idiot, I'm sorry...

[maggotpulse15]

@helmutundhammer umm what are u talking about?

[LordGrendel]

Great record, his compositions have really grown into something inspirational, he never ceases to amaze me...

[daveywaveydave]

Dam that chorus tone is orgasmic!

[metallica5252]

@daveywaveydave that's not a flanger?

[daveywaveydave]

@metallica5252 Im talking about 1:30 to 1:54 maybe it is a flanger but ive had a chorus pedal that if you put the dials on far enough you get tones like that, could be wrong though

[buybritishguitars]

his vibrato is priceless!!

[mattw8675]

woke up my dad playing this.. oops.

[bitchslapper12]

@mattw8675 Same for me! He found this album in our living room computer and started listening to it! Haha!

[OneManPants13]

this WHOLE song reminds of 2112/the temples of syrix. it blows my mind haha i wouldnt be surprised if he admitted this was in the style of alex lifeson... until the amazing beautiful arpeggios of course =) those are just paul.

[jsbruce11]

0:15-0:24 Alex Lifeson

0:24-0:32 Pete Townsend (I heard this independently from the Pinball Wizard prompt, haha)

0:57-1:08 Matt Bellamy

1:30-1:51 A more complex James Hetfield

2:10-2:18 Omar Rodriguez-Lopez

Paul is them all.

[darkenedmindband]

@jsbruce11 it's called being a musician

[Buyakaasha]

wow this guy is the real deal.

[infectionsman]

This song makes me picture Haile and Bolt standing on the Podium after setting their world records

[MynZnusz]

"I actually had no idea that this was released so I just wanted to help those out who have been unsocial sick psychopaths like me."

Why, thank you!

People tend not to think about us very often.

Beautiful song!

[olimoreau1]

The dislike bar is like justin bieber's penis.Its small and you don't know why it's here.

[iraph]

0:25 to 0:32 anyone feel as if they heard some pinball wizard?

[DoubleEdgedSword12]

Gotta love his song writing

[Playerx19]

2 misclicks

[TheWombatWarlord]

i think the dislike bar should work like a tug of war, that way this video would be a nice big green bar, wheras other un mentionables, well, wouldnt :)

[Sighss]

Amazing. Never heard such beautiful appergios in my whole life...

[m14k15ts29]

Anyone have the tablatures for this? I can only find the tablatures for the arpeggios.

[minibosses192]

all videos of this cd have a dilike xD there are a fucking troll!!!

[alyss901]

i think my ear just came?

[countchaoss]

@Th3Drumm3rb0y I'm totally with you on that one, I rarely consider buying any ones signature stuff, but his Airplane Flanger is VERRRY tempting!

[notafraidoffuture]

Musical paradox = Simple Complexity

[TheNelsonGonzalez]

I fucking love Paul Gilbert.

[m14k15ts29]

Where can I find the tablatures?

[Sickindian5]

One person can play his Ibanez!!

[infectionsman]

@iplayveryloud are u srsly?

[imxthexonlyxAaron]

anyone else think it would be sick if he played this at the Olympics?

[sniper13ad]

@imxthexonlyxAaron props on the great idea i thumbed

[uchicha666]

@imxthexonlyxAaron

For me it wouldn't be that sick (unnatural). If some stupid tiesto who don't know a shit about music played at Olympics then why such an artist named Paul Gilbert couldn't?

[caiaum2]

@imxthexonlyxAaron it would be heroic!!

[marquinoli]

@imxthexonlyxAaron THAT`D BE AWESOME , but we live on a society that stupiditie like justin gayber is what sells

[bitchslapper12]

@iplayveryloud no, I forgive.

[bitchslapper12]

@iplayveryloud NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU RUINED THE 250th like w/o no dislike! Permanent ban on you sir!

[AlexR47x]

It's only letting me like this once :(

[OCCcartmen]

What ever!

[OCCcartmen]

this is more beautiful than any women ever. except scarlett johanson..

[phazomzxhunter]

@OCCcartmen false!!!

scarlet no!

anime girls ftw

[zeppelin25101980]

I still get goosebumps at 1:30.

[warhead1970]

so great album,,reminds me to the 80`s era,,so great tone

[PAULgilbertFAN93]

Idk if anyone has seen this yet.......but...

ZERO DISLIKES!!!!!!!!!!!

Long live King of Shred.... Paul Gilbert!!!

[JgHaverty]

@PAULgilbertFAN93 I disliked it just to spite you...

[PAULgilbertFAN93]

@JgHaverty: All good man:D

[songokuehfoda]

I like videos of talented guys like paul gilbert, because you can't find a single negative comment. There's no reason to.

[Kistarcsa]

1:30 is where the song really starts.

Oh yeah!

[Butzopower]

1:30 gives me chills, every time.

[IvanMtl]

The intro reminds me very much of Pete Townsend and the Who's TOMMY album, with dashes of Rush thrown in before Paul goes into his signature arpeggios and incredible speedy and melodic runs and tapping. Great stuff!

[Diabolical93]

@IvanMtl Paul himself says he has been influenced by Townshend with the song intro...

[48243742]

Paul always makes me feel like im in heaven :O

[kajok23]

I saw him in Lyon (France) last week : great concert !!!

[hedi69310]

me too!

[Danje1]

Is anyone able to give me the chords starting at 0:58 ?

I can't figure them out... First is E Minor i guess....

[ibaneziano]

@Danje1 Ya theyre three note slash chords up around the 12th fret on B G D strings Em Bm then Aminor c in bass B on top then a G Aminor back to Eminor . Its all in the voicing.

[Danje1]

@ibaneziano I saw him playing these Chords. I looked more difficult but thanks, ive gotta try it out :) as you an hear, the bass is dropping straight, i wanna have the base note too. but thanks a billion :)

[bobbyalligator7]

He has to duck so he doesn't bump his head on the clouds !!

[rpeggio]

Great song. Has so many diff. melodies and guitar tones going on....such a craftsman, no throw away chord progressions, he keeps you guessing and coming at you form diff. angles.

[luzier13x]

yeah! if you want to keep paul from doing what he does, buy the cd.

[RacerXSuperhero]

@luzier13x "If you want to keep Paul FROM doing what he does, buy the CD."

Ehm... that means that if people buy the CD, Paul won't be able to do what he does anymore... lol

[bobbyalligator7]

@RacerXSuperhero !!! Already bought it ! It's AWESOME !! and better than I expected ♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫

[knutdude]

also if you want to help gilbert buy the some of his pedals cause i imagine he gets money for them

[Yancybl]

Not really pinball wizard sorry.. THE SONG IS AWESOME THOUGH

the lick from 2:18 to 2:21 is fucking badass

[Yancybl]

Not really pinball wizard sorry.. THE SONG IS AWESOME THOUGH

[RonaldWesterman]

Fantastic song!

Gonna see him tonight :-D @ Enschede

[obnutz]

4:03 just starts jumping octaves for the fun of it. mind blowing

[JozefL1]

Riff at 1:56 is so awesome

[GabrielDhalaman]

I meant like Rush on 1.09 and 1.30,a who and rush mix with something else,great

[GabrielDhalaman]

Yes,man,a mix of the who,totally piball wizard that part,with Rush on that part 1:14 and 1:30,great

[MyownPrison89]

i had never heard of paul gilbert until mark tremonti mentioned him on his intructional dvd. i'm glad i discoverd him. tremonti's dvd also introduced me to other great guitarist like michael angelo batio and rusty cooley

[Chisuz]

@MyownPrison89 o_O weeellll

[armandj3]

two songs in and it surpasses "Silence" ... He's truly amazing!!

[cptdc]

just want to say buy the album to support gilbert, dont download contribute for an artist you love!

[bobbyalligator7]

... I think Paul knows how they built the pyramids !!!  ♫♫♫

[jointz999]

1:36 "Ooohhhhh I'm gonna run to you!!!!"

[DaddySoulDonut]

Best breakdowns IMO of any Gilbert tune. Those overdriven single coils sound massive.

[claytonkillsyou]

@ibanezjeff28 he's never out of his comfort zone with a guitar in his hands!!!!!!!

[yetanotherguitarist]

Ordered! I have so much paul gilbert stuff he is masterful

[sandromaule]

Excellent !!!!!

[youztuber5000]

I like pinball wizard, whats peoples problem? Paul Gilbert cant pay tribute to The Who? I think he can!

[KONTARINI]

i like it from the middle and then

very good leads

[Soulfulshreddify]

That intro, chills, that continuation, CHILLS, that ending, EJACULATION TIME!

[DylanGuitar148]

I loved it and I think the whole album was great but until about 1:20 it sounded like Paul Gilbert's take on Pinball Wizard by the Who. Sorry PG fans (I'm one myself) but the beginning was just too similar.. but after that it was another masterpiece! Those arpeggios are hypnotically stunning..

[Bifrons]

Taste of the new album. Some great stuff on here.

[CalvLyfeson]

@bobbyalligator7 Dude your posts are the shit. In bits laughing. Totally on the money!

[bobbyalligator7]

@CalvLyfeson  Doppelganger ?

[RyanMartinMulcahey]

pinball wizard at 0:25

[bitchslapper12]

@RyanMartinMulcahey There's actually an annotation in the bottom right corner.

[RyanMartinMulcahey]

@bitchslapper12 ya i see that

[clanotheduck]

@bitchslapper12 Meh. Same chords, but the rhythm is different. That's like saying every song that goes from G - C (Just a random popular chord change) sounds the same. IMO.

[minibosses192]

@bitchslapper12 what says the annotation?

[m14k15ts29]

@minibosses192 Read it...

[bitchslapper12]

@minibosses192 The annotation says "Pinball Wizard anyone?"

[poppedeyes]

@RyanMartinMulcahey you got it man, he is a big pete fan, I seen in an interview he is working on his windmill technique lol paul awesome guy and godly player with the coolest ridiculously expensive guitar

[LimboShrimp]

@RyanMartinMulcahey

Yerp. Sus4 to major.

[LimboShrimp]

@RyanMartinMulcahey

Paulie actually has a lot more similarities with Bach and many other Baroque composers, mixed in with some eighties shred, and a bit of cheddar cheese.

[tmwautier]

@RyanMartinMulcahey More than pinball wizard. There are sections from the whole opening overture movement from Tommy, which that part of PBW is included. BUT in fairness Paul playing in the "Amazing Journey" -The Who tribute band obviously had and influence on his recent work.

[multipleattack]

rock n rollllllllllllllllllllllllllll­llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­lll FUCKING AWESOME !!!

[taradead]

great album. got it a few days ago - really digging it

[SuperMugician]

Very nice! Very mature sound from him too. I like it! I'm most certainly buying this.

[YummyBananaFish]

My favourite from the album. Started out thinking it was a bit odd, but it's really grown on me. I especially like the intro melody, and how it comes back in at 1:17. Paul you sure write some nice tunes.

[shaneghim]

probably the best song out of the new album

[platinumaster7700]

WoW- 3:03 !!!

[manuorchestra]

Can't wait for his coming in France in december....PG rulz !

[spiewak1]

Gilbert rocks!

[ironblud]

This is an Olympic GOLD medal!!!!

[easty666]

3.52 - 3.54 DROOL

[dmprophet46]

fuuuuuuuuuuddddggggegeeeeeeee i need a backing track for this asap

[Kassarth]

He's definitely achieved the status of genius...

[teddy89pony]

@Kassarth he's like the emperor dude.... kinda like extra-terrestrial...

[b3nZ4sh0]

starting from 2:00 on.. he's like F*** this & starts shreding

[ArpeggiateTHIS]

GIVE PAUL GILBERT ALL OF YOUR MONEY.

[steviedashfoo]

@ArpeggiateTHIS i think i'm gonna give him my whole next paycheck. i like this album. great stuff.

[TornDays1]

@ArpeggiateTHIS Is that you Paul?

[znik93]

2:34 to 3:00 ............. love it

[hockeyplayer168]

His tones really have special abilities on this album. This song is especially cool for that reason.

[tatperformance]

BAD ASSSSSSSS !! What else can u say ??

[tatperformance]

Saw him , Petrucci , Satriani G-3 concert ,Uptown Theatre !! Mind blowing show !! KCMO"

[PGManiac]

Paul is the example of Musician who keeps getting better everyday...

If this album is released here I'll definitely buy it..

[MozkCt]

i love paul gilbert, no more comments.

[espChris93]

@bgainesDM I really hope he does put one out. I have almost all of Paul's instructional videos and he is an amazing teacher. He's almost as good at teaching as he is actually playing. Plus i love PG solo albums the covers are just as cool as the music.... well maybe not that cool

[IverDaBest]

@bgainesDM It'll come, but Paul told me he's busy working on a new Mr. Big album...so we might have to wait a while...

[kagenaruto]

The Who and Rush came together and made this song

[ML120374]

My favourite from this new record so far. 0:00-1:30 reminds me of 70´s style Queen, the chords from 1:30-2:00 are really dreamy and sweet, perfect bridge to the main riff at 2:00. Actually a pretty easy riff, but a musican like Paul is able to do such a thrilling song out of this simple idea...

His sound from his gear and the tone from his hands are fantastic, makes me smile and feel like on drugs while first listening to it, can´t believe he´s getting even better from year to year!

[galersurems]

my friend @pandudadung can play this better with his eyes closed

[Pusola18]

wow

[mitsurugi009]

Don't get me wrong, I loved the entire song, but my favourite parts were the arpeggiated section from 2:34 to 2:58, the solo bit from 3:40 to 3:53 and the arpeggios and tapping from 5:18 to 5:30. Great song, great man.

[bobsmith93]

@mitsurugi009 Me too

[leolmx]

What effect does he use starting on 5:00 ?

[vengeance5666]

Thanks man! iv been waitin for someone to put up these tunes, couldnt download it or find it to buy anywhere:P

[StringzOfFury]

haha it definitely sounds like pinball wizard in the beginning

[TheElphy]

EARGASMMMMM

[TheElphy]

OMG I HAVE DIED AND GONE TO PAUL GILBERT HEAVEN



[SpecialOne2142]

paul gilbert is a god of music.

[rocktopher101]

Just FREAKIN AMAZING!!

[ETaucher]

What an awesome song. I hope all of you that are downloading these are going to buy is record when it comes to the USA/iTunes. I sure am

[c4r50n1]

@ETaucher Just don't use iTunes. Steve Jobs does not deserve money. lol

[666DeanFromHell666]

good god just when i hear "fuzz universe" and think i need to learn that(can do intro string skipping arps =D) i find this and NEED to learn this too.

this album is a deffinate buy

and thank you bitchslapper you have a loyal subscriber here.

[DillonBerkley]

Every single song on this record is epic. Paul Gilbert never fails to amaze me.

[thisIStheARTofRUIN]

FUCK!!

i love this song, strongest one on the record if you ask me!

[AstriBlair]

Here it is.This song is just insane.
