Paul Gilbert - Technical Difficulties

[francescocusato]

bellissimo

[crestfaIIen]

somehow he lacks feeling, it's more like watching a machine.

see david gilmour or craig ross.

[MrsScottWright]

@crestfaIIen Lacks feeling? Gilmour and Ross wish they had this talent. Just because you can't play this kind of music and you like slow stoner music doesn't mean there isn't any feeling in it. YOU JUST DONT UNDERSTAND IT AND CAN"T PLAY IT. Paul Gilbert is incredible and deserves more credit.

[crestfaIIen]

@MrsScottWright I guess you didn't take your pills yet, did you? gilbert is a perfect technician with great skills but speed and talent ain't all.

[Translusas]

@crestfaIIen everyone portrays emotion differently....i can grab my guitar and bend the shit out of the strings and play slow and just try and make it sound like there is feeling and make funny faces when i bend, then switch to shredding and put just as much feeling into it. everyone has a different outlet for putting in feeling.

[dharpify1]

@crestfaIIen if you think it lacks feeling, listen to the stretch from 2:25 to 3:30. you can't honestly tell me he isn't feeling that. those bends. just because he is playing faster than your mind can comprehend doesn't mean he lacks feeling

[brunogalba]

hard to play. But I dont consider it a beautiful solo.

[Slashe50]

Save some awesome for us, please

[fishguru73]

I've been following Paul for a while and I think that he is an amazing player because he takes the time to challenge himself with patterns that screw with him. He is a humble man and a magnificent player because he has earned the right. Challenge yourself because greatness isn't given; it's taken with hard work.

[heavymetalero91]

solo se m okurre decir: el puto amoo!!!! diooosss!!

[rhinodunlop]

ipercabronsisimo!! es un dios

[holypally33]

lol, from 2:30 on... Comfortably Numb... Bass lol

[williedrummer]

I swear to god that the secret behind paul gilberts skill is that all his fingers are the same length

[es1skeetboard]

LOL! yeah, they really are. it's crazy.

[williedrummer]

of course I bet he is able to play a guitar in front of him with both of his hands teid behind his back

[boblacolle]

Doesnt explain the "picking part" oO

I mean, shredding involves synch between both hands. Imo, the secret is practice, not the finger lenght =P

[Gibsonrocker89]

True man Michael Romeo's just as awesome and he's got fat stubby fingers

[Seymroth]

Well, yeah, but having uber-long fingers really help :D

[boblacolle]

Ya right, its a good advantage lol

[6691alexb]

also the secret is that he practiced for 5 hours a day every day

[horrabletypoe]

Yep, that's the secret to success. Practice efficiently for extremely long periods of time.

[alx3542]

@williedrummer hahaha!!! :D the best comment! :D i think you`re right... :D :D

[neilorourke71]

@williedrummer those things are fucking spiders lol

[belangeremily]

Paul rips that Gtr to shreds. Great combo of speed and taste.

[ya69mama669]

i love that kinda metalcore sounding riff at the beginning

[klemppari]

my problem is thaqt i dont actually have that long fingers than paul and buckethead. My owns are more like piano fingers. Very hard for me to play like this no matter how hard I would try

[chris1969kw]

I know a guy who has stubby little sausage fingers and he shreds like a mutha! He'd hang with paul gilbert. This vid btw, is awesome!

[feifeille]

Yngwie Malmsteen's got small fingers

[TheHorrorInside]

he barely uses his pinky too

[Gibsonrocker89]

Nah they're actually pretty big he's like 6'2 the only reason they look small is because his hands are kind of chunky

[Melodicminor13]

So I was proven wrong.  This song does work on just on guitar...All hail Paul gilbert.

[rafayealmeida]

what if i dont have fun while i watch this?

[M3TALLICA444]

i can play this so much better on my electric triangle

[10dthompson60]

yeh if ya had like 126 electric triangles for each note and 80 hands to play them in succesion lol

[TPX10]

this is like playing "smoke on the water" for him

[GuitarRokstar07]

big hands 3:13-3:24! What did he stretch like 8 frets! Awesome guitarist.

[Wombat1010]

awesome, thanks for the vid man. what dvd is this? i really want to buy it

[mandraxy]

WHAT A GENIOUS!!!

[antoniown]

u rs geek

[poppleshred]

the reason gilbert can make stuff like this look easy is because he practiced enough so that it was easy for him, so get cracking gawkers

[TheKleverOne]

I play so much faster on my air guitar <_<

[GodOfMetalGuitar]

this is freaking sick, and he slides that fast over his guitar... can do some one do this xD?

[rdsmp]

I can do that.

in my air guitar lol

[chest002]

Amazing

[martyedge]

awesome

[luca82]

the songs called technical difficulties, yet gilbert has none of them

[WilliamBonneau]

Don't you hate that, he makes it look so easy, Michal Romeo dose it to, like Michal Romeo looks like hes thinking about cheese burgers while hes doing the most insane stuff I've ever heard.

[luca82]

i know it is frustrating, and i met Mr. Romeo by the way :):)

[WilliamBonneau]

Lmao, ironic, I was going to say Jeff Loomis at first

(Ps:I met Jeff Loomis :D) but I didn't say Loomis; I had a feeling to say Michal Romeo XD

[6stringbreaker]

Man's got bloody huge hands! he makes his ibanez look like a mandolin...

[masterlock015]

I'm pretty sure his signature model has a thin neck too, so his hands look gigantic.

[alabumni]

buckethead's hands are even bigger. i think he actually has a 25 fret stretch. and he can actually grow and lose fingers at will to play complicated fast licks

[whitejem09]

Haha for a split second I didn't catch your sarcasm and I thought you were the dumbest being on Earth lol

[ACDCfreak50]

Yeah I saw Buckethead live a couple of months ago and his fingers are some of the longest I've seen on anybody.

[foofoyou]

hey! i got an ibanez guitar too! it aint never made no sounds like that tho. guess ill keep trying...something to shoot for i guess...the work of the right hand is underapreciated.

[NuBsLiCe]

Woot

[ernasty10050]

He can alternate pick so freaking fast. I am practicing like mad and still can't even get close!

[powerovermoon]

yeah... paul u rock!

[rasuk]

his fingers looks abnormally long in a gd way

[spinctah]

Yes he could check your prostate whilst being in another room. Is there anything this godlike man cannot do!?!

[rasuk]

uhh right..wow that was one of the most random replies i ever got..

[callyjohnwell]

You know he's got long fingers when he keeps his thumb over the neck most of time.

And - yeah, i'd totally let PG do my prostate exam.

[rasuk]

yeah i know..i observed his style and yeah his fingers are long..and my music teacher brought him out to dinner once :D

[lopeylopes]

For the love of Fuck! Its not even fair!!!

[FrozenCut]

he isn't a human ;P

[MegatallicaBabe]

This dude is fucking amazing.

[nomberguan]

Every time I listen to this I like it more and more, fills me up with energy.

What an amazing technique, but above all, Paul's attitude and overall personality rocks!

:)

[KobezGuitarist]

Paul Gilbert RULES...

[FlamingFretboard]

i like the version "metal dog" more

[psychopathtoine]

does he play the intro with alternate picking ?

[PaweL1345]

are you kidding me? YOU HAVE EYES DUDE!

[NuBsLiCe]

:o WOW thats all i have to say

[nny8801]

that last triplet(ish) run at the end is fucking mental

[daryl152]

LONG FINGERS!!! hes so awesome!!!

[Thanatopsis]

His playing is so clean! Gotta love Paul Gilbert

[papydasy]
