Its metal, where one of the most power mediums of music comes from speed and showmanship. Paul is regarded as the best because he is not only lightning fast but also very musical at the same time.
@H057IL3 this song, metal dog, was written in early nineties so you were right.. :) technical difficulties, the "updated version" of metal dog, was written in late nineties and released '99 :)
Yo thats some bullshit, they aired one of the best guitarists ever to shred on mtv in the 80s, and all my high school watches and listens to is JB and gaga and miley cyrus and shit. Ima try and get this shit back on mtv in like 10 years im goin to cali, and recording some metal instrumentals and covers and then im going to start an entreprenuership and make get rich then ima make sure my shit and various artists gets aired, fuck yall bitches im comin in.
Yeah MTV sucks ass now. but this video wasn't from the 80's, the absolute earliest it could have been was 99, cause that's when this album came out. so that wasn't too long ago that MTV actually aired good shit
@panamanian911 hey man im just sayin and im right there i only wish i was this musicaly talented but think about it how many famous guitarists(recent) can actually play like this
cool vid the slow part at the end of the song sounds like the lead break from pink floyd's comfortably numb but with someone shredding all over it .......man can this guy pick every note or what.....
You know, I just remembered something. Paganini also had abnormally long fingers as well. Not too many people knew that Paganini played guitar as well. So it's looks like Paul Gilbert has those long fingers as well, and it explains his pinky.
Well, he was in a few - Racer X and Mr Big are the best known, he does solo albums as well and recently did one with Freddie Nelson called 'United States'
his songs are actually songs, they make sense, go somewhere, and aren't just vehicles for mindless sweeping. he's one of the most tasteful "shredders" there is. and he's goofy and humble. cheers paul gilbert
this guy has the best picking technique in the world. ever. no question about it. he's probably one of the best player out there, maybe not the most popular but he is certainly one of the best
Yea there his pimpin tassles! How he picks up babes LOL :D Nah justinsaneds probably right....... And Humanure22 ur dumb. If Paul Gilbert played with a dick guitar,.,,,, no it just wouldnt happen
Did you even bother to read all the comments I have put and the conversation I had with oldskool!?! Please show me where it says ANYTHING about metal dog in the video!! Can no one read or does no one one know what the fuck a description is?!? OK kids it is the the little gray box on the top right hand side of the screen where it says subscribe what the fuck does it say there please tell me!?!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Same fucking pattern over and over with a scale run here and there. Lame. He's like a goddamn sweeper. Of course he's clean...get some vibrato why don't you.
Ever heard of Marmite? Some people love it some people hate it. I'm a big Gilbert fan, he does use vibrato, perhaps not as much as a player like Gilmour or BB King, but thats because he's not Gilmour or BB King. And I'd love to see you do what Paul does.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Marmite sucks, and so does Gilbert and his wack off solos. And if I had videos of my playing days, I'd gladly post them as I don't play anymore, and you would love them thanks for saying so.
I don't find anything hard about this other than my ibanez RGT42 is mushy and not defined , I'm usin an RP350 , I understand the signature lick.
I'm speakin of the opening rythem parts of this which are very simular to mr.scary
I have no idea how paul cleans up the low end mush , I've tried just about everthing but a bulldozer.
