@jimmyleppard6 i never paid that attention to those licks but i'm a guitarist,maybe as you are,and i know that even the hardest sweep will never be a difficult as a string skipping,i know it for experience
@dimetonn Yes, I'm a guitarist too and I agree absolutely. String skipping is way harder than sweep picking, but Shawn Lane has some pretty badass string skipping licks so.. That's what I was aiming at. I didn't think about comparing string skipping to sweeping.
@jimmyleppard6 i'll check out, thanks i didn't know anything about that guitarist...If you want to take a look in my channel i play a bunch of solos,so you could suggest me,cheers mate
"Oh i'm just Paul Gilbert the man who ascended beyond the need for anything beyond 3 strings on a guitar, Oh! You play a 7 string Psssshhh i say 4 too many, and you play with 6 strings you say? You really are a barbarian."
I've seen him play that lick on a seven string on which he tuned the top three strings in octaves. (This is basically what he did when he re-tuned in the video) He then left the bottom four strings in their normal tuning to play the rest of the song. So I think that he just put that 3 string octave tuning on its own neck (without the other strings) and kept a regular tuning on the bottom neck. (This way he can play the arpeggio without having to string skip too.)
One of the easiest explinations for people who are just starting to make progress on their guitars on how to sound out arpegios without having any form of lessons or text to learn from without all the technical jargon. I like Gilbert alot not only cos of his styles and abilities but that he's real and a down to earth bloke.
IF ANYBODY IS SICK OF THE SAME OL UNORIGINAL NONSENSE MUSIC ON YOUTUBE....check out my channel. i have 2 new videos finally uploaded of my new band UTAH, an intense 3 piece with a nice mix of mathy hardcore rock and roll. let me know what you think
@jgriffo31 Actually if you listen carefully he doesn't play it totally right. And he's saying it because it's some of the craziest thing he'd played. And he says that he can't play it right standing up during a concert :) But still - you're right. He plays it very cool!
There are guitarist who are know to be faster than Paul Gilbert, but i honestly don't think they could string skip or do the licks Paul does at the same same tempo.
I swear to god his pinky is at least an inch larger most of ours. you can see that when hes playing the lick his pinky is as long as his ring finger when he uses it.
I have girl hands and I can reach that far if that high up on the neck with my thumb in classical position. It's mad hard to play that lick but not because you don't have hands as big as Paul Gilbert's or 10 inch pinkies. It's hard to play because of the string skipping. You can't roll and sweep. The lick's not impossible. Just highly improbable for most of us.
But he practiced like mad for years. It's not like he just picked up a guitar and insta-shredded the hell out of it.
