Paul Gilbert - fast lick using the major scale

[karmisson]

PG'S LEFT PINKY>YOUR BICEP

[MrDarinWarren]

That's some FAT tone. :)

[Ety95]

geek but a rockstar..



[etrigan69]

His hand looks like a tarantula ODing on meth @ 1:25

[MrMethadrine]

Paul is an awesome guitar player,but oh god hes such a geek.I woudnt be surprised if hes still a virgin.

[ghandrbluver]

@MrMethadrine he has a wife. lmfao

[MrMethadrine]

@ghandrbluver Shes a virgin too lol

[ghandrbluver]

@MrMethadrine LMFAO probably

[tmh1717]

@MrMethadrine yes paul gilbert is a geek...but being a geek is what got him where he's at right now...

[MrMethadrine]

@tmh1717 where?

[Death66reaper6]

Is it just me or does he look afraid of the guitar in the thumbnail?

[iamthebull5SH]

MY GUITAR LOOKS JUST LIKE THAT! Only different shape. :)

[MrMethadrine]

His upstrokes r killing me.Brain damage.

[vonMohl]

useful stuff, thank you Paul.

[doublek321]

Vote Ron Paul 2012!

[tye2teb]

VOTING IS FOR OLD PEOPLE \m/

[Drawyoursword420]

God he looks and sounds like he's rollin' I wish playing guitar could get me that high...if it could I would have saved like a few hundred dollars (not counting a new amp)

[rjgeigersmusic]

@OrionLong i disagree, if you vote and your guy wins then you have no right to complain when he fucks up.. however if i don't vote i can complain about whoever wins because i didn't vote for them.. plus i have every right to complain about whatever i want, even meaningless youtube comments

[RobJackk]

Genius.



[MrBansheecanon]

Go on guitar video

Criticize what they're wearing

Makes perfect sense.

[mooping5]

I love how people are giving so much of a shit about his t-shirt lol

[BlackMagic8520]

What a fucking idiot with that shirt. How can these top comments LIKE that? Why WOULDN'T you vote? I'm not even 18 yet and I can't wait to be able to vote to start giving my voice to try and fix this fucked up country. "Voting is for Old People"

Then I don't want to be young.

[drinkspecials]

@BlackMagic8520 i love Paul Gilbert, i have since 1987. and i think his shirt is ignorant. I still love him, and knowing him, its probably supposed to be sarcastic.

[esky15]

@BlackMagic8520 It's a joke. Just like I have a shirt that is a play on 'kiss me I'm Irish,' only it says 'F*ck you you're Irish.'

[Decrypted33]

@BlackMagic8520 unfortunately voting doesn't fix anything. I mean look at obama

[rjgeigersmusic]

@BlackMagic8520 haha i wouldn't vote because maybe i don't like any of the candidates and i have the freedom NOT to vote.. and plus it is just a tshirt so who gives a fuck other than you... oh and the shirt simply says voting is for old people, so you don't think old people should vote.. maybe the joke is on you

[dom4guitar]

@BlackMagic8520 oh god.. get over yourself man.

[moonrazk]

Fake, he isn't licking anything /jk

His voice is kinda weird.

[MrJuno6]

I love Paul as a musician, but I don't quite get the T shirt. I thought voting was for any human being living in a democracy. I don't see now "old" has to do with anything. Perhaps he may change his mind when he is "old" or playing his guitar in a FEMA camp.

[Nintendork224]

" the number of strings are consistent on each string...." hes so good he can play a string within a string :O

[hadron89]

@Nintendork224 Stringception. -_-

[OrionAlexander1]

@hadron89 Beat me to it..lol

[jcheever37]

@Nintendork224 stringception.

[vahan99]

@Nintendork224 Stringception!

[rredzone]

@Nintendork224 STRINGCEPTION o.O

[guitartarman]

terrible speed......

[CSLWoodward]

Wait... ADD distortion?!?!?

[Eat5hitCrytek]

Yea....Ok pal.

[redemption707]

his guitar sounds like farts but they sound cool when its fast

[dudefrombarrie]

it's all about the pinky. It has to be the longest finger on your hand

[OfficialAndreeaG]

where did you find that picture with paul?

[91Tribual]

keep in mind that much of what he talks about is working on standard tuning.it changes alot when in an open tuning

[pizzadeliveryguy1984]

why are people paying more attention to the shirt then his playing.

[CiachoLover]

IOW, voting is not for the noobs.

[MrYungsan]

thats a stupid fuckin shirt. 

[xsited1]

He missed a note in the major scale. Oh, the humanity!!!!

[Eat5hitCrytek]

@xsited1

Yea I had to replay that just to make sure lol.

Then by 2 minutes later I was crying again =(

[SuperToother]

aand with some distortion, 2, 3, 4-*proceeds to disprove everything that I know to be true*

[derekhorn94]

Dane Cook?

[ebitsui]

"no description available"?

I could play that.....!

[Zorlak108]

first 'shred' lick i ever learned :D

[fsgfoeva]

The only reason Paul Gilbert would make this video is because he knows we won't be able to do it ._.

[Forre12]

terrible tone

[XxdartvaderxX]

2:55 MORE DISTORTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[TheKobe246]

that the man rigrt there

[tgphotodesign]

Fuck you Gilbert, I love you, but honestly... NO FAIR!

[dedespo]

Buckethead uses this in Binge and grab.

[Hertsman50]

He is so fucking fast. I just can't play it at full speed.

[drjakim]

rememorize lol

[851852093114208513]

1:58 - The catch: you have to learn to play it slowly before you can play it quickly...

[michieru027]

1:39 - 1:41 THE BEST HAHA ! :D i love paul gilbert :D

[FrontlineGuitar]

haha the thumbnail of this video looks like he's scared of his guitar XD

[lightxgrenade]

"So beware its only useful...if you're me because you can't play it this fast plain and simple"

[r4hulwebb]

Does it really matter that he missed a note? Its Gilbert so he can get away with it

[MrSoulSamCooke]

Long fingers smallish guitar

[refinedfriend]

the lesson here, play any part of a scale REALLY fast and it sounds pretty good :P

[matbatrobin]

He looks nervous

[EspGuitars1337]

So it's dodododododo

[celticwarrior222]

He is an amazing player but did anyone else notice he missed a note in that major scale at the start lol

[ruifmoreira3]

@celticwarrior222 No, it was the note that missed him XD

[AstriBlair]

@celticwarrior222 He meant to do that..:)

[primarymusicusa]

You rock!



[SHPrada]

hate the distortion

[Simonizeyourself]

paul gilvert becomes glenn quagmire at 1:51

[2GreenBlue]

I think I'm related to him!

[CoreThrasherGLB]

@2GreenBlue So you're Keanu Reeves's brother or something?

[fobsternd]

what is wrong with his fingers?! why are they so god damn long? Helps for shredding those low strings near the bridge.

[SantomPh]

@fobsternd he said in an interview that his left hand fingers grew longer as he played through his teens- and he's a pretty tall guy as well!

[fobsternd]

@SantomPh really? Damn that is super wicked. Too bad I'm 23 now...

[najtrows]

i fucking love this guy more and more.. the more i play guitar the more i like him!

[lalometal98]

voting for old people hahaha EXTREME LOOOOLL !!! good lick :D

[peter0000018]

My teacher

[krisitantobias]

oh my thats sound fantastic

[krisitantobias]

i cant do triplets! my hands stocked in 4 every beat

[MetalCovers676]

Wouldn't you know it? god was just on my iPhones screen! Replay button and he will reappear on my screen :D

[H057IL3]

Are the Firemans (Firemen??) in stores yet?? It's a guitar I've suddenly started considering getting myself (after the JEM model).

[alex29bass]

@H057IL3 i wouldn't be so sure about that dude, there's been only 45 firemen made in the whole world and one of them is around 8000 $.

[H057IL3]

@alex29bass Ahhhhh...

I wasn;t aware of that.

JEM it is XD

[Joshmv14]

"Voting is for old people".. lol :D

[ltayl1]

@Joshmv14 Kinda ironic considering that he's old himself.

[Joshmv14]

@ltayl1

Haha yea :)

[RomanGalon]

@ltayl1 44 yesrs is old ? :) isnt that middle age ?

[ltayl1]

@RomanGalon is he 44? i thought he was like 55! :P

[Creohan]

@ltayl1 born November 6, 1966 => 45 yo

[ltayl1]

@Creohan Oh. Never actually looked up how old he is. I just assumed he was, because I thought he was Vai's age and he's like 55. :P

[mukthegreat]

holy fuck



[nickbaldeagle01]

Hey heminder, I posted a Paul Gilbert Total Guitar video and got it removed by the YouTube Gestapo with a "STRIKE ONE" warning.

Why is yours still on here?

[arbiter1191]

@nickbaldeagle01

Because he IS THE YOUTUBE GESTAPO!!

Bet you didn't see that coming. XD

[ezurcher1]

He is such a great guitarist and such an awesome person, as well!! Thanks for these vids!!

[petsematarykeeper]

badass lesson, never seen this one before...

Paul's shirt is awesome, i want one.

[Informatisse]

@petsematarykeeper

2 bucks pyjama? lol, you can find it anywhere, that's the amazing part of being an artist...

[Kushgroove234]

@petsematarykeeper Yeah it just screams "Mid Life Crisis"
