Fireman Paul Gilbert

[dabirdmonkey]

Spinal Tap quote FTW

[verybadheadache]

I wonder if Paul owns a legal copy of Photoshop XD

[IsotopeC12]

Great guitar, great with distortion, and sound like strat on clean, great guitar !

[IsotopeC12]

Does anybody know which his song is in the intro, or it's just the intro ?

[ArielsSmartyPants]

I'm going to have to settle for the FM100TR, but it'll be enough! :)

[ironslalyica]

... reverse iceman XDDDDDDD

[ReneroacH]

iceman ftw...

[1691jabp]

bull$h!+, that guitar ain't got that much sustain, the sustain is in his hands!!

[drtyfknmouth]

I never realized how much PG looks like Gary Oldman.

[asiat30]

This is AMAZING because with LOT of distorsion, the definition of the sound is not too much (of all pickups). It's really clear.

PS : I have a little and bad AMP. But I've been suprised by the middle pickup (DiMarzio® Area '67™). If you turn little the Tone of the Fireman, you have the little tone of Yngwie Malmsteen.

The power of Hambuckers and the definition of single coil.

[asiat30]

I've got a Fireman 100-TR guitar.

If you play with a big Marshall AMP, you can be surprised. The sound is very loud. It's the tone of a Hambucker. I approuved Paul gilbert thing about the pickups.

- - - -

I've too play on a little Marshall AMP. and the sound (with distorsion) is the same as hambucker (just little lighter).

[ferlottes]

Horrible tone !!! horrible, but superbe playing

[IMaiden23]

@ferlottes Thats your opinion...I think it kicks serrious butt!!! lol

[ferlottes]

@IMaiden23 Yes it does, but not by the tone ! C'est mon opinion !

[bkh91171]

"Hey Joe"....@ 3:27! His versions of that are SO good!

[elysium735]

Must steal... must wire in a humbucker in the bridge... must love...

[scribbitydat]

the guitar would be way perfect if it didn't have that ugly headstock

[rizki215]

I hate this guitar but after watching this, i want it so bad

[NapoleanXV]

the top cut away seems to resemble a rickenbacker 4003 to me

[emanhacker]

anyone else think this video shows how much paul has matured his sound i mean hes just so perfect on what note to play and not to hes truelly my fave

[AZIARGROUS]

I love when he says " ...from the wood, a little bit of my fingers.." yeah right!

[ermonski]

@AZIARGROUS that's what she said :D

[biochemisttriple9]

you know what they say about paul gilbert: he's good at guitar

[Nevigo]

It was about time he found out the strenghts of stacked humbuckers give,as opposed to real humbuckers.

[dammit1996jaded]

phil x rules

[FokasSk8er]

Iceman is a far more better guitar

[TheInvalidChronicles]

How does one become like Paul? Like do we get noticed?

[dbzaddict444]

1:40 LLLLAAAAAMMMMMMEEEEEE

[summinrandom]

The sound at 5:45 was an MXR Blue Box for anyone interested.

[amheru]

BAd VIdeos

[Brewmaster757]

That lick at 4:01 is deadly. Too bad my fingers aren't gigantic :(

[OneVAPORIZEDHitt420]

super insane orgasm at 5:54 DAAAMN lol

[telepgm]

Now, this guitar makes me feel on Fire! \m/ Go, Paul, Go!

[georgesorosisgay1]

Rush Hemispheres 5:30 and ozzy diary of a madman chord 5:40

[TouchMyZoltan]

it doesnt matter how its sounds with him, he can make it sound good

[maxiking1897]

very cool modern strat tones :)

[Matlike1]

I like the clean tone, very sweet.

[ermonski]

how does it get that insane sustain?!

[smexyart]

@ermonski Seeing that it's Paul Gilbert.. No one will ever know. :D

[OneVAPORIZEDHitt420]

@ermonski just very clear distortion, place the amp sound at max volume and play the guitar knob volume at volume 6 so it sounds extra clean, paul gilbert is a master at sound lol

[ermonski]

@OneVAPORIZEDHitt420 hmm I doubt he cranks his amps real loud given that he has a hearing problem now. maybe his sustain ahs somethign to do with him cranking up the gain.

yeah he's a tone master! :D

[MrSharpenis]

arnt the pickups supposed to be angled the other way around?



[asdfcrow]

@MrSharpenis he did that on purpose.

[MrSharpenis]

@asdfcrow the entier point of ngleing pickups is te get more treble out of the high strings

why angle them towards the low ones?

[asdfcrow]

@MrSharpenis To get more treble out of the low. When you throw on a lot of distortion, the lows can get really muddy, especially when playing fast with a shorter scale, and I guess he liked the bassier highs.

[speedburnervideo]

too bad it DOESNT have a LO PRO ;) ......mine does ;)

[slayisinsanified]

thank god it doesn't have a tremolo

[KrayzieBoneThug4Lyfe]

3:32 voodoo child - hendrix?

[TimmehTRP]

@KrayzieBoneThug4Lyfe He did lots of songs by hendrix mixed into 1 thingy.

[TehProjectMan]

I love guitars like this that have sharp angles, but rounded edges. They are so beautiful.

[Peruviandude96]

11 people bought this guitar thinking they would be able to play as good as Paul Gilbert, but were greeted by a rude awakening.

[Timmonsec]

The intro was probably one of the coolest things ive seen in my life...

[metalmillita666]

Hi i'm paul gilbert and i'm not a egomaniac prick who keeps his new guitars in massive piles like SOMEBODY you know.

[DennChooch]

@metalmillita666 obviously not talking about yjm

[shreddybits]

@metalmillita666 I keep clicking voteup but it won't go any higher! 

[stix471]

@metalmillita666 who is it? :c

[yoshu2]

@stix471 yngwie malmsteen

[jeph0309]

@metalmillita666 Hahah this made me laugh! Sooo true!

[PANICBLADE]

@metalmillita666 yngwie.... ugh

[CheezeFox]

@metalmillita666 Hi, I'm the point of your comment. I don't actually exist.

[Baphomet3010]

very original name xd

[deathmetalmachine]

now they need to make a 7 string fireman

[BOOLsheet]

ibanez really has lost their minds...theyre charging like 7 grand for this guitar. absurd, and thats coming from an ibanez loyalist.

[jorden123]

Give to Paul a 300$ electric guitar and it will sound like 3000$ :)

[julZZs69]

how much better does that headstock look to the original 1. even tho its the exact same headstock lol

[Jasaxos]

He said there making more economical guitar of this

[mattw8675]

I'd prefer this with a whammy but its awesome anyway.

[mad00002]

Well, that's practically a perferct promo clip for any product: The guy actually knows what he's talking about, having made the design himself, and uses the product with plenty of knowledge. Plus nice, non-chaotic editing. Seems like a nice git.

[drinkspecials]

is that neck scalloped or is the light just hitting it weird?

[SideshowBob180]

@drinkspecials

It's the light and the chunkiness of the frets and strings.

[dwg116]

oh my god that little twang thing he does sounds killer! Very SRV sounding. great tone.

[someguyoketcetc]

£6399...

[HEADBANGBALLER]

Whenever I travel to a new city, I always look up the local guitar shop and/or pawn shop. You never know what you'll discover. I found one of these in Nashville. I plugged into a Budda 40W tube combo. Very comfortable, very bright tone and very quiet. Sitting down, the horn kind of dug into my chest, like a Parker. I am a humbucker guy, and I really liked the p/u's. The neck was easy to get around on. Bottom line, I liked it, but for $7000, you had better be a huge Paul Giilbert fan.

[ReidjNicholas]

I like how at 4:07, he just continues talking as if he didn't just play an insane jaw-dropping solo. 

[mattw8675]

MUST GET SOMEDAY!!!!

[KrayzieBoneThug4Lyfe]

WHO IS HE TALKING TO !?

[scottwill19]

was it just me or was he playing hey joe in the middle there?

[XAlphaZEROX]

@nanaimo757 Apparently they're making a mass produced one that will decrease the cost insanely and make it more affordable.

[Marcus666Sund]

GIRLS! This one is for you:

"SAVE I FIRETRUCK, RIDE A FIREMAN!!!!"

[rutchanon2]

How much this guitar ?

[Killer9299]

@rutchanon2 it's like 7 grand it comes with the guitar, case, paul's headphones, the same cable he uses, and strap

[rocker816]

i thought my 10's were way to thin lol...

[ChucklesMginty]

@rocker816 I guess it's thick for Paul as he's always used 9s and in the early days he used 8s.

[todd6138]

He is just a funny smart dude.. definitely not yngwie!

[77Fortran]

insane price!

[Neltheros]

guys, i cant' understand the part at 2:05 where he's talking about the string tension. shorter neck means looser strings? and then the sustain, using thicker strings improves the sustain? can someone plz explain these?

[ImpThaW]

@Neltheros the thicker the strings the longer the tone tends to hold on the guitar,looser strings also improve sustain

[Neltheros]

@ImpThaW thanks!

[AskeGuitar]

@Neltheros

With thicker guitar strings,the note will resonate for a longer time compared to thinner string. Therefore, you should have greater sustain with thicker strings. What Paul was saying about the neck scale, is that the neck is a shorter scale which allows you to use thicker strings without increasing the tension greatly, compared to using heavier gauge strings on a standard guitar neck which would increase the tension much more.

[Neltheros]

@AskeGuitar ty very much but, doesn't higher tension mean higher sustain? unless he meant that playing with a not so high tension is easier

[AskeGuitar]

@Neltheros

Thanks no problem. As long as the tension is sufficient enough to keep the strings from buzzing on the frets, the tension won't make that much of a difference. You might be able to get a slight amount more of sustain, but regular gauge should suffice.

[Neltheros]

@AskeGuitar thanks for sharing your knowledge. i really appreciate it :)

[t0psecretshit]

he looks like beck here

[icymagma98]

@t0psecretshit Hell Yes.

[redknight91]

I love how he's happy to have made that guitar in photoshop, like a happy puppy : D

[XAlphaZEROX]

@redknight91 Well it is pretty cool to draw a picture and have someone make a guitar that looks exactly like it.

[redknight91]

@XAlphaZEROX No doubts about that : D

[yekshemesh4alig]

What's the song at the end? Sounded really catchy

[JustTVinc]

@yekshemesh4alig The Gargoyle

[zakkattack99]

love paul gilbert, hate the make up

[WuzzMcWaffleStein]

@zakkattack99 i dont see make up... awesome guitar tho, i looked on guitar center and its 6000$ so fuck that haha

[baka6660]

so this guitars only $7000 apparently...

[MrManson94]

a fender stratocaster that you swap the pickups for some of them DiMarzio-hum canceling-pickups just seams like a more affordable choice

[Fanofquo]

At 3:49... Only Paul Gilbert can make something that simple sound that good.

[mhtsos12]

Lol paul gilbert with a shirt.This is Epically Unique...

[44eelz]

Nigel?

[bizzle1783]

@44eelz nigel tufnel spinal tap dude..watch it!

[Guitarstring187]

i like shreed guitars that arnt mean looking. This one fits the bill but it aint cheep its supper expensive

[bigbigsound]

he's so kwl and the guitars a beauty

[lovejon2death]

im not one for crazy guitars. but that thing sounds like a dream.

[1987GTD]

truly a dream guitar.  And I don't even play metal.

[diabeticmonkey]

If only I could afford one of these.Can't wait until the production run.

[PAULgilbertFAN93]

By any chance that anyone has to play one of these things...I bought one and I love it... Like he said , great playability and tone!!!! AMAZING JOB Paul

[lizardinhu]

what's the intro song's name?

[fmer]

@lizardinhu

Song is The Gargoyle from the album silence followed by a deafening roar.

[lizardinhu]

what's the song's name of the intro?

[ElushaHellrose]

nice pinkie work

[robosvideos]

anyone know the song at the start?

[ConspireToConspire]

everybody needs a paul gilbert bobble head for their car.

[Tomjosh1000]

@ConspireToConspire

They... They make those? :D

[DJParkesie959II]

@ConspireToConspire : ...Your statement couldn't be more true...I want one now... =/

[312chicagoadam]

SOOOO much money,,,but God, it sure is perty!!! It sounds like a dream, too!

[pastorofmuphets]

Paul is probably the only shredder i like.

[brando18guitarplyr]

sarcastic little laugh at 1:42 :-P

[09kitty23]

I DONT SEE WHY PEOPLE WILL PUT NEGATIVE FEEDBACKS ON JUST A VERY CLEAN INTERVIEW WITH A DOWN TO EARTH GUY?

i hope there is a way to see who negates videos.. YOUTUBE think about it

[thedeadtheory]

oh, what a nice fellow!

[fretfirestarter]

Paul G. cracks me up.What do you call an Iceman turned upside down?Why the Fireman of course.Paul's shredding doesn't bore me to tears.He's the real deal.

[brando18guitarplyr]

@fretfirestarter it's funny because he used to call it "reverse Iceman" until he asked if someone had a good idea for a name, and then he had chosen for Fireman, because what's the opposite of ice/water? :-P

[mas502arc]

Paul seems like such a friendly guy! Other famous metal-shredders seem so angry and snobby all the time lol

[Uberloinvongenchler]

Why is such a brilliant guitarist wasting his time f'in' around with prettifying a guitar?

[Uberloinvongenchler]

Why is such a brilliant guitarist wasting his timing f'in' around with prettifying a guitar?

[satankilledbarbie666]

i had to stop the video half way. id die kill sacrifice a nut to shred like him

[TobiAfterDark]

@darkjediguy123 i think it was the takeoff in his ibanez airplane flanger

[ReleasingWeeps]

yesterday night i saw him with his amazing band, it was the craziest thin ever!!!!

[jonahtran1]

@FallenCole777 they are. well, technically paul is. it's his new fireman that he used in fuzz universe. 

[Augenatic]

@darkjediguy123 ME TOO!!

[erictheshort]

3:36 on mute is hillarious!

[robosvideos]

wats the song playing at the start?

[dadudeguy2]

Paul's tone hasn't been this good in a really long time. Kinda makes me want one...

[GNRrulz40]

I can do that.

[LordNikonPL]

PG on a signe coil. who woudl though. And its match playing style In my opinion. Clean sound + fast picking just owns. and im rly impressed by the heavy sound of those single coil pickups.. just dont need hambusck anymore. Awesome guitar

[sanfrancisco1967]

Paul's even better at PhotoShop than am.

[TheOfficialComokanu]

"And a little bit from my fingers"

Yeah, just a little......

[deathscythekim729]

Paul's 70's - 80's Rock 'n' Roll shred style

[langedreng1]

Paul Gilbert is Jesus/God, who has taken place in a cool mans body and made him the coolest guitarist alive..

[FFXGuitar]

@langedreng1 that was slightly homosexual

[deandimedof]

2:38 Spinal Tap

[wormswoodworth]

why, why Paul do we need!? to $6000

[TENGKUOAIDIL]

it kinda look like parker classic fly

[BuzzCrumhunger]

Oh, and I dig the old-school Ibanez bridge. It looks just like the one on my '80's Destroyer used to... :( Plus, this one has a cool built-in carrying handle!

[BuzzCrumhunger]

Paul- thanks for losing the fake f-holes, and I'm glad you've come around and realized that the single coils give you more articulation than the humbuckers you used to play forever... Love the plank!

[GabrielDhalaman]

I AM PAUL GILBERT AN i...have AIDS

[Timmonsec]

Paul gilbert is not PG rated if you know what i mean...

[brandonopolis]

I still don't understand how one person can be so awesome. Coolest down to earth person, and an amazingly good guitar player... I really hope I get to meet this guy someday.

[EMOHOLACAWST]

0:08 to 0:28

paul is officially the coolest motherfucker alive.

[MWaterman09]

Does anybody know what riff he's playing at 5:55? It's amazing whatever it is

[petsematarykeeper]

goddamn!! that TONE!!!!

my favorite tone.

[natrockskate]

i looks retarded but it sounds great!

[LazNovak]

Paul Gilbert is definitely one of the greatest and coolest musicians around.

[killerplan77]

i think i have a new idol

[morristhemoron]

wammy bars are gay

[qwecars]

@morristhemoron No, No silly.... you just don't know how to use them! They're for changing the pitch, they're not for sticking up your ass!

[AlexChaseMusic]

I like how when he shreds, you actually hear music, not just speed

[PAULgilbertFAN93]

@AlexChaseMusic: That is the best thing about him!!

[michaeljjeffrey]

@AlexChaseMusic Yep, that's what I like about him and hate about Malmsteen !

[AlexChaseMusic]

@michaeljjeffrey Never really got into malmsteen

[deathscythekim729]

it's unique..and classic-looking..you know Paul..He's a vintage guy..RIGHT??

[lovescarguitar]

@deathscythekim729 the planets* aligned*
