paul gilbert fast pentatonic lesson part 2

[3angrygnomes]

paul gilbert of course you dont think its that confusing... your paul gilbert

[corremaderoketearreo]

Señor Gilbert, toca usted muy bien, pero lo que es la higiene de la guitarra no le va mucho, no? xd

[gigglegigggle]

HAHAHA 1:35 "I like that one"

[BishonChris]

@gigglegigggle "It's a cool lick!" :D

[stdnt4eva]

what just happened?

[rrrtbds12223]

it looks soooo easy

[virgoptrex]

You can NEVER play like me .....muhahaha!

[10Dante4]

hahahah i liked the part where he said "lets try it together"....

[6672rock]

When Paul fires up that lightning-fast alternate picking, there's nothing quite like it! Those are some fast fingers he's got!

[AngryLlamaz]

"yup"

[999rockandroll]

buckethead must have practised it really hard

[eimaiokalyteros]

Are we sure that this video isn't played in fast forward....

[joeyplusamanda]

I want to include this in my playing, but I know that 80,560 people know this also...

[scottdavisfrance]

hahaha ...he is awesome and A GREAT bloke!!!

[littlewing62]

from this lesson i guess alot of people (including me) have learned that the pentatonic is not mastered yet hahahaha..

[HeatMaster22]

1:50 huh....

1:55 HOLY SHIT!

2:07 I QUIT!

[OddPoPMusic]

@HeatMaster22 >>>>>>>>> I met him back in the Racer X days and he signed an 8x10 glossy to xxxx (insert name) My best friend Since 3rd grade.... years later at GIT i told him the story and he remembered the town in upstate NY where I grew up... without me reminding him. Paul's got a big brain, he's really a true genius.

[satansgoalie]

@OddPoPMusic I met Paul back in the Mr. Big days and he signed an autograph for me with that same message. I met him again not too long ago and mentioned that to him and he actually remembered the music store where he signed it. I thought he was just being nice at first but then he said "wasn't it called Tarpley music or something?" I was like, how the hell do you remember that!? It was like 1992!

I've met a lot of musicians and he as got to be one of the coolest/nicest I've ever met.

[Sgtpeppers616]

at the end i was seriously like holllly fuck



[Nerfbatz]

want to buy those hands.

[10Dante4]

i like he says lets try the lick together

errr NO

[kingofthekaisers]

that last play through sounded like a slash solo sped up. except with paul gilbert playing it. his pinky looks like its the same size as my middle finger :S

[acryinshame1]

touche'

[TheAngst420]

......''There we go''..........he just blew my fucking mind and thats all he has to say for it........ he wasnt even trying,,,, is this guy fuckin human?

[MakeDevilCry999]

:OOOOOOOOOOO

[XxStoreboyxX]

Woah~~~~ MY Face just MELted~~

[crohno]

i hate this guy... xDDD

[AstriBlair]

After Paul plays a totally head popping solo at the end of the lick..all he says is there we go..im gonna quit playing.

[elmniamo]

what the fuck happened after 1:55 :O is this even possible?!

[jhel522]

hehe Paul impressed himself....

[acryinshame1]

my add starts kickin in when i try to figure out stuff like this, one thing that helps me is to put the guitar down and go do something else for a few minutes then when i come back it seems a little easier because im not frustrated and it calms my mind down or something , try it the next time your trying to figure out something hard and getting frustrated , it helps . all you really need to become good is a lot of enthusiasm and good fucus and concentration skills and practice a lot

[DethTilDeath69]

@acryinshame1 i usually start playing something else i already now, like you know the little descending lick marty does right after his first solo in hangar 18 right before dave and marty go back into the verses/chorus? like, i learned all the solos, and how to do the lick, i just couldnt to that at the right speed until i played something else for like 5 minutes. frustration much...i could perform the solos just not the lick...damn megadeth...I love them so much though:) and paul gilbert:)

[AsMyGuitarShreds]

haha so layed back ''just another day in the office'' a true legend!

[joshkalsi]

I love how he's like "lets go back to the original lick", plays it once, then goes off on an incredible solo x)

[TheFirstxaid]

wow i skip 20 seconds to get to the good piece and then i cant keep up and think to my self WTF happened in those 20 sec.

[JoeXLopez]

Do the flames represents the frying of my brain after this video?

[zigbin123321]

awesome! 2thumbs up for paul..

[star6914207]

i like that ,show you once real slow .then distract you with some other little riff that he amuses himself with.then blaze right through at lightning speed and go thats how you do it. lol lol

[bbender1986]

yeah i love the description of this video..impress a bunch of dudes..thats why i play guitar to get more dudes...not

[MrWilsonguitar]

in dont understand --' 1:53

[theaxelofrose]

i swear i saw him use a cheat code

[tombola1990]

that "there we go" at the end... like it was nothing

[told2stop]

@tombola1990 lol i know he's like "there we go"...."face melted"

[ejarato]

weon bestia

[MrPotatoheadd]

this guy is insanely fast

[VhMetalx]

that last part is not even funny.

[wileypayote]

the funny thing is there are tons of guys who can play sort of like that but they don't know how they got there. He knows was every note is on every scale and all the theory behind it, like it's rote, like it rememberring your times tables or something. That's what sets this shredder apart from others. He actually can make music shredding because he understands what he's playing from a rudimentary level. that's an impressive dedication to the instrument. Just trying to use up my remaining charac

[lambosnicko]

playing this lick from the first and second vid using strict up and down picking with no hammers and pull offs is good picking hand excercise

[foreveralive]

It's insane how easily Paul takes such a simple scale pattern and turns it into a modern art master piece. Thanks for the lesson, Paul....great job.

5 Stars

[guitarnympho5]

damn he can play as fast as people who speed up videos! lol if i shredded as fast as i could and sped up my video it still wouldnt be as fast nor clean as him

[distrojer85]

"there you go"...oh fuck yourself! :)

[Yoman1634]

@distrojer85 hahahahahahahahaha!  Well put.

[distrojer85]

¨i was obviously misunderstood,someone put thumb down on my post!

gilbert is one of my favourite guitarists,besides nuno betencourt,satriani,stefanovsk­i and steve morse...

[wileypayote]

bettencourt? Really? Ok. will you sing more than words to me? I'll take the low notes.

[distrojer85]

@wileypayote

it's a a deal!

[qdsqd]

L sounds like a freaking pinball machine

[MetalEradeGuerra]

suck on that buckethed! jk ! lol

[Heinrick192]

thats a cool lick

[BillGtrMan]

From about 1:50 on you lost me-great speed guitar player w/perfect technique! As othe people have stated-did you surgically implant about 1" more on your pinkie?

[Yoman1634]

@BillGtrMan No he hasn't evolved like most humans where the pinky is pretty much for appearance and totally useless.

[reaguirre]

this guy kicks ass

[StarPalidanKenobi]

yep, super robot devil hands (futurama anyone?)

[jonathandaniels13]

true!!!!!!

[distrojer85]

biggest fan.

[JoaoPauloGarcia]

1:50 show off -.-

[Zman200111]

excellent left hand form!!!

[Zman200111]

Ohh and lets not talk about his picking technique ungodly!!

[algebraparish]

does paul use the same size string for the entire fret board?

[MEEEEEH15]

'woo, i like that lick'

lol

[generalgenocide667]

XD...let's try this *normal...crazy...what the??... * shut up paul gilbert, but we love you

[ticklesitter]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH "there we go"

[StefanPriceUK]

The end made me laugh very loudly!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Deconstrukt666]

"there we go"

[RoseCrush]

"Hope it won't be too confusing, I don't think it is."

Which means it's hard as fuck. Easy for him, impossible for us.

[almere666]

right, yep, just like that. WARNING: paul gilberts fingers not included, speed may vary.

[NastyNassim]

@almere666 Epic comment XD

[FuzzySnuggz]

@almere666 I swear to god his pinky is the size of his index finger.

[t3hk1lla]

holy shit paul gilbert

[DarthWong47]

There we go :)

[mustard2155]

it looks like someone sped his fingers up but man Paul can play

[jonnybiggs]

twat!

[algebraparish]

To play this fast just dont pick all of the strings! This theory worked so well for me. However it wont be loud unless your plugged into an amp.

[rayssurfing]

This is a great beginning for any newbie. Notice Gilbert keeps his hand loose?! Using patience and a metronome will result in excellence. It is not hard to figure this out. Playing at his speed is not won in a few weeks! Repetitive motion can be a problem for some...stay loose and stretch, & use isometric hand strengthener exercise; squeeze pinky & thumb, then squeeze against all the others. Your technique will become awesome with patience. How bad do you want this ability?

Rock on!

[algebraparish]

Your totally right!

[lovescarguitar]

i agree. my problem is, mainly when im excercising, i want to just go off and play actual music. so i just have to get the discipline down for myself.

[rockdaparty44]

same here

[algebraparish]

I am currently learning this. I just cant wait till I play this as fast as this guy!

[algebraparish]

This would be awesome to learn!

[misisipiboi]

its funny how he is doing the excersize and all of a sudden had a kamehaha on the fretboard...lol...i was almost following it until he went plaid on me...lol..(spaceballs reference)

[soloboy1991]

here you go!

[guitarfreak12398]

my jaw dropped at 1:50 and fell off at 2:00 i love how he casually says "There we go" at the end

[dificultadestecnicas]

i can do that =D, but not super fast like you paul u_u.

jejej

[AndrewAbu2112]

it seriously just looks like it was put on fast-forward at the end.. haha

[Ibanezgsa60Gio]

he made me feel bad XD

[TheGReaper1234]

me too :D

[SamTalmadge]

I LIKE THAT LOL

[bradboyer]

sweet jesus pentatonic GOD

[r44cker]

My pinky just wont go for that... More practise. :P

[boonec5]

king of pentatonics

[dropica87]

dna strings

cool.

[guitarnympho5]

haha good point silent

[SilentStoner]

lol.. "back to the regular pentatonic scale though" (plays pentatonic, blues and dorian scales) "there we go!"

[ClassenGuitars]

how the hell...

i wanna be this guy.

i can only play classical guitar.

someone tell me how to get my fingers to move that fast.

[GODhimself37]

he's on crack lololol

[eleph4nt]

what he says,

smoke a lot of crack

[PWRNstar]

1:55

wow i didn't know a minor pentatonic can sound that cool lol

[ioannisdenton]

i love this guy!

1:50 "its a cool lick" he says

just look at his expression!

[tobado919]

wow :)

[xr3n3g4d3x]

1:50 absolutely sick

[DiseasedGandalf1]

i just shat bricks. best guitarist ever.

[funincluded]

"there we go."

[hydroweapon]

pg is the fastest guitarist i have ever seen.

for awile it was herman li,micheal batio or that buckethead guy but pg just blows them out the water

[DaveSustaine]

I think Paul is the best guitarist out of all those you mentioned, but he is definately not the fastest. Not that that really matters, but Batio is truly the fastest alive by far when he wants to be. I think Shawn Lane was probably faster though.

[hydroweapon]

fair enough

[troghin]

Batio doesn't change his notes and Buckethead does.

[ryanpistons]

where does buckethead come into this exactly?

[dragondemon175]

something about him being voted like the third fastest shredder by guitar world and paul teaching him

[DaveSustaine]

OK, musically the word "change" doesn't mean much so you'll have to be a little more specific if that's ok.

[troghin]

He plays the same scales , the same solos and same fucking rhythm!

[DaveSustaine]

That's not really fair. When you play at that speed, most patterns begin to sound similar, & I guess his style does depend on certain techniques fairly frequently, but I can assure you he is not limited in his range of keys, scales & patterns. I can see why it seems that way, but he does know his way round classical songwriting. Buckethead on the other hand, well he plays slow quite alot which means if he played the same scales it would be obvious. But fast, he uses alot of the same techniques.

[aikae20]

How come I can do the ascending part easy (because I've been following PG's lessons for years now), but I can't seem to do the descending part when it follows the same pattern? Any advice?

[METMAN92towhoknows]

it just what your hands can do, i can descend well but i cant ascend very well, you just need practice

[hydrolix125]

if you repeat the pattern over and over again you will get use to it.

[bulletproofleon]

Yeah, like the others said practicing more may help, but maybe you should concentrate on hammerons and pulloffs more, that helped me a lot. Try to have your index finger on the string before the pulloff, and really concentrate on not picking everything.

[drmizik]

this is such a monster that he makes it look easy

[emisariogrx]

ese tipo es diosssssss

[calebm97]

1:50 to 2:10...... OH MY GOD

[scepticalmuffin]

amen

[guitarkid2k6]

FUCK ME!!! 0.0

[hellmutt]

"there we go" yeah - right thanks for making me want to sell all my gear Paul

[bripolar]

@hellmutt hilarious haha

[WhiteGrande93]

....fuck dat cool ass bitch

[applejak2000]

WhiteGrande93- You be soundin like a dumbass nam im sayn

[yondaime597]

I think he made that lick for Curse Of The Castle Dragon

[BakedCrisp]

His pinky scares me lol

[mfs238]

que hijo de puta, encima le mete mas notas, espectacular

[Rockmanzzzz]

Paul Gilbert....fastest pinky ever.

[m1dget]

pg is gawd

[Maharv55]

Fuck's sake, he's so horribly good

[W0NGS1FU]

I don't see how he's a dick. A pentatonic scale is probably the most basic scale on guitar. Obviously this lesson isn't for beginners. Also, he goes through the whole thing step by step relatively slowly. If he was a dick, he wouldn't have showed you how to do it slowly first.

[TeamSchwarznegger]

"It's not to confusing, I don't think it is." You have got to be shitting me.

[MonsterMonster13ohya]

hes such a dick....... no offense hes to good

[Soulrivers]

You've got to fucking shitting me.

[lolomgwtf0]

... You've got to fucking shitting me?

lawlz.

[Vincent745]

such an ass

[gnarsher]

Ther we go.... lol my fav guitarist

[noisyneil]

massive hands. makes it look so easy!

[stratthead]

Paul needs to raise his action. It's so much fret buzz. I know he wants it low for speed, but tone comes first! BTW, these licks ain't too hard, if you've been practicing hard for a couple years. OTOH, check out Eric Johnson He does the fast pentatonics!

[Brasker]

but EJ is gay

[Dedalusalley]

Racist.

[musicman102357]

Fret Buzz ?? What fret Buzz ?? Gilbert has great tone.

If you think these type of licks are so easy why dont you post a video of

you playing some of them ??

I can not argue with you about Eric J as he has been my favorite player for years.

[7blak7panther7]

its not buzz, its just that very stringy sound, especially cos he cranks the volume knob down alot for these types of lessons

[jsmith5052]

yes mark me down 4 asking a question...

[swob0]

Seriously, those last 20 seconds. gave me a fucking chill down my spine, can someone really play that good, beautifully and perfectionate !? ITS AMAZING. Paul gilbert is among the best top 10 guitarists in the world imo.

[TimiHendrix86]

Yeah, but it sounded like shit, thanks to his god-awful tone there..

[TrampMasterFlash]

You sir; are a tit.

[ealexwhite]

What? You don't agree that his tone sucks in this? I'm not knocking his playing or anything. He's definitely one of the most proficient guitarists alive.

[jsmith5052]

y does he always move his and around after playing a lick??

[giseleStTristar]

cause his hand wants to get down the neck and play a solo!

[DegaGray]

or the devil is trying to escape from his hand but paul wont let him!

[applejak2000]

Good answer!

[exuberanthermitcrab]

1:44 "it's a cool lick"... then he smiles

ahah

[marbjo1]

There we go... Indeed...

[ickywacka]

hoooleeeee FUCK SLOW THE FUCK DOWN MAN GOD DAMMIT

[fingershred]

Hes the BEST teacher on youtube!!!

[hl2xstats666]

the man is crazy :o .... enough said :D

[reening]

thanks for the upload dude!

[intraining01]

I like this guy's lessons, he's a wick player and teacher... :D ... SLOW DOWN the VIDEO, I MISSED those LAST 80 BILLION notes.... lol

[goralnator]
