Paul Gilbert explains the 3 string guitar.

[guitarfreak23397]

I dont get this shit. why skip the strings? it can be played with a simple sweep.

[EURIPODES]

did this jerk really say that HE invented the 3 string guitar?

[Mr5150]

@EURIPODES Yeah don't read the first comment or anything.

[UltraTexan]

That shreds.

[joriszsz]

Not really... the real 3 string guitar was a cigar box...

[corpralkirsch]

wish i could sweep

[funkymonkey2882]

his fingers touched chuck noris

[Testament2222]

"it's a difficult lick for sure" - BOOM

[Ultraussie]

Okay. Okay. Okay. Someone's sped that video up. Or his actually Jesus Christ. 

[GorMorgul]

PG: I drank dragons blood, got my 8 hours and made a pact with satan, then i got free by defeating him on a guitar contest. Thats basically how I improve my technique.

[ghitaciprian]

OMG 0:30

[drummerdudeperson]

anyone ever heard of ostrich tuning? here's the notes: E, E, E, E, E, and finally E.

[BluDavid100]

biggest hands ive ever seen

[fenderstratguy]

If my fingers were about 10 inches longer apiece maybe, someday, in a parallel universe somewhere, I could play a note, or maybe even two in a row, as good as he does

[studios696]

Ummmm what? I would have to say ya can not lay claim to inventing the three string guitar not by a long stretch... Mad skills yes indeed.

[Mr5150]

@studios696 I don't think he said anything about inventing it. I think he was talking about the process of how he got to where he was able to get the particular sound he wanted.

[studios696]

@Mr5150 actually yeah "there came the invention of the three string guitar" was his closing statement, but yeah I get what your saying.

[Mr5150]

@studios696 My bad. I haven't watched this video in probably 2 years.

[studios696]

@Mr5150 no worries!

[omendesign]

@Mr5150 1:18 "I didn't have anything do to with that other neck....there became the invention of the 3 string guitar."

[IronChefWannabe]

@Mr5150

"there became the invention of the 3 string guitar"

[henryshomebrew]

@Mr5150 actually right at the end he says "and there became the invention of the 3 string guitar"

[imadey0utube]

I invented a one string guitar by taking all of the strigns off and putting on a new high E.

[Mr5150]

@imadey0utube Your so cool.

[Jonny2818]

i ment japan

[Jonny2818]

[RichStark412]

Paul Gilbert talkin bout 3 string guitar is like Mario Andretti racing a Volkswagen---doesnt fit.... Gilbert wouldnt know the blues if it crawled up his ass and ate him from the inside out like cancer.

[jetsetjerk1]

very nice, but he didn't invent the 3 string guitar. They have been around for a verrrry long time.

[L3DZ3PPl1N818]

how is he not satisfied with the way it sounds!!! it sounds awesome

[itch1993]

[Harf]

[JoshMoshMorris]

[JoshMoshMorris]

[Mr5150]

Guess what? Thats Paul Gilbert. Not me. Get an education and shut the fuck up.

[mrc124]

beteter

[schwarg]

such a great guy, a god damn hero!!!

[Maggai]

Kicks ass he does. So down to earth too. No " IAM THE EMPEROR OF THE UNIVERSE! LICK MY NADS!" like malmsteen is.

[reaperofgenocide]

wtf dude hes insaine. the way he skiped strings and made that sound like a sweep. wow

[Schpudd]

yeah thats one of his specialties.

[Kirkh666]

indeed...

[jose044]

there is something that confuses me, when i try to tune my strings in octaves, there isnt enough tension to play them, i need to do something about it

[Mr5150]

you gotta use higher gauge strings. like I use .09s, and I use the A, the G and the high E.

[Oliverto1]

aaaahhh the master speaks :-)

[joan101010]

yea hes arguably the best guitarist out there.

[prayriff]

PB seems kinda nice person..he shares what he knows and not kinda greedy unlike other self-centered assholes!

[mightymonkey]

Paul Gilbert is absolutely amazing! the things he comes out with are outstanding!!

[Mr5150]

Yea its actually quite easy when you have the guitar tuned with 3 E strings(in octaves) all next to each other. Gotta have that human capo though. :D

[khower]

That lick is just CRAZY when tuned normally...and it's insane when tuned D to E...

[cataclysmichael]

omg... he plays it perfect with the skipping... dont need the 3 string guitar at all :P

[MrGosh13]

Yeh, he's sort of the big name in string skipping, its insane.

I love how he goes "its a difficult lick for sure" and then goes about ripping that difficult stuff in super speed >_<; i hate him :P

[cataclysmichael]

I just cant hate paul gilbert, he seems so kind and down to earth, and always explains everything he does and stuff...

if you want to hate a good technical guitarist, hate yngwie malmsteen! what a self-absorbed bastard, and those videos he showing some licks he just shreds through them without showing shit! ahhh... hate him! :P

[MrGosh13]

dont worry i DO hate Malmsteen, cant stand the guy at all. and i was being totaly tongue in cheek about PG, i love that guy ^_^ He's an amazing player, and such an cool guy. Not to mention his awesomly goofy sence of humor! i'm a big fan... i just hate his ability to PLAY stuff like that :P

[cataclysmichael]

hehe... ok :)

I do have some malmsteen albums though... just dont like the guys personality... grrr...

[Axeman89]

fucking genius

[Kirkh666]

HOLLY FUCKIN' SHITTTT

[kkooss16]

wow. hes a monster.
