I am not a guitar player so I don't claim to know much technically. I do know that I like listening to Paul and like watching him play and that is all that matters to me. I wish I was that good.
Here are ten facts 1. Your reading my comment 2. Now your saying/thinking thats a stupid fact. 4. You didnt notice that i skipped 3. 5. Your checking it now. 6. Your smiling. 7. Your still reading my comment. 8. You know all you have read is true. 10. You didn't notice that i skipped 9. 11. Your checking it now. 12. You didn't notice there are only 10 facts Copy and paste to 1 video, tomorrow will be your best day ever! no matter what
i think your right too. its like the first joint after your knuckle is weaker and can curve the wrong way slightly cuz its so fricking long. its only a problem with my pinky and a minor problem at that. doesnt hinder that much.
I always comment on vids here and also try to explain to people I know just how long Gilbert's pinky is and they don't believe me.
He's way more talented than I'll ever be but if I had a pinky that long, or really all my fingers the same length I could play more of the things I wanted to.
if you want to play better.... work harder. its that simple.
i dont agree with the whole pinky thing people go on about. if you lock yourself in your room and play scales and practice for 12 hours a day, you would reach gilberts level in no time.
thats what we all should do lol. zakk wylde said when he was a kid in highschool he would play guitar from the time he got off of school and stay up all night playing until school started the next day and just sllep during school lol
But what are you going to do with the electric guitar that already hasn't been done? Yeah you'd reach gilberts level possibly (although you need the aural and mental natural capacity), but Gilbert and others have gotten there first... about 20 years ago.
Look at Hendrix's time, he was very innovated then shred guitars brought speed to an other level, who knows if mine or the next generations will topple the last.
The problem is if you physically start to go faster the notes blend and your brain can't tell the difference. There are physical laws involved and on top of that the electric guitar is now an old instrument. In Hendrix's time the electric guitar was a new instrument. Why are there no breakthrough violinists now?
Very very excellent point. Maybe because the violin isn't as accessible and affordable as an electric not to mention as popular. We truly won't know until 10 years or even more from now. Maybe if we found shredders who didnt just play Am7 and Em7 sweeps and play Phrygian minor modes. Thank you Yngwie Malmsteen
Somones gotta keep the legacy going. When theyre all gone whos going to keep it up? buddy, once youre that good, youre going to have your own style just as good.
people just need to break out of the box. i mean, look at players like alexi laiho. people just have to be original and get better (which is entirely possible). for a lot of bands, the guitarists are too dumb to think of anything original, and either use a shitload of effects, or the worn out technique of sweep, tap, and repeat. as long as people dont keep relentlessly doing that, guitar will always keep advancing.
That's the thing though. When I listen to him I don't think he's breaking out of the box. It's a lot of old techniques with more gain and a heavier backing sound. It sounds awesome but I can't put him in the same category as other shredders. A lot of his songs are composed not dependent on the solo's and pure guitar work. I thought Dimebag was the last one to really push it with his use of the tremolo.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
fuck you, dont be talking about shitbands here on a paul gilbert video!!!!!! if you wanna talk about avenged shit then go take a shit and talk about it to yourself, and fuck you again
jesus christ!!! i heard this alexi laiho...he is awfully terrible!!! he plays guitar like shitttt!!!!!! paul is technical without being boring and very creative... kotzen also does... and for sure dimebag was a style of his own... but i dont know whatafuck this alexi laiho is doing out there??!!!! When I saw this video of him playn some arpegios I thought it was some joke!!!!!
dude..... you're an IDIOT. you need to shut the fuck up right now. alexi is well known for his talent. if you seriously think he sucks then you're clearly: 1, not a musician (or if you are you're a bad one). 2, an asshole. 3, a complete dipshit. 5, even more-so if you didnt notice that there was no 4
he's so far ahead of every other guitar player, he cn play so many styles, make it sound so clean, so melodic and doesnt over do playing fast and technical
i'm almost positive the intro lick is not paul's writing.. i know he's really versatile, but it doesnt scream "PAUL GILBERT!" like the rest of his playing.
you're probably right, it just didnt have that regular "holy shit it's paul gilbert" thing about it. cause he got the idea of the technical difficulties lick from EVH but even then it still had his own feel.
well the variety makes paul better then yngwie,as much as i love yngwie he plays only clasical stuff most of the time and he doesnt know shit about allround guitarist,he doesnt know bands like saxon megadeth tallica etc.
yeah it's very coordinted with the rest of his fingers,many but many guitar players can't use the pinky as fast as he does,offcourse they can use it but not as fast as their other 3 fingers and some players are still up pauls skill but paul is a diffrent guitarist not a copy,still there are guitarist that play diffrent but equally awesome like jeff loomis.
for all guitarists that saw this vid...no, this guy is by far not a guitar god..sry for him...if you start practicing tommorow for at least 6 hours a day in 3 years you'll play something very close to him.the years generally add more finesse to your style and some speed.
you crazy cracker. more practice equals more out sure, but not everyone could be a paul gilbert. some people have the feel, some people don't, no matter how much technique you have. michael angelo is one of the best technically i've seen, but in my eyes hes not god, as he rarely plays melodic and is shredding 97% of the time
paul gilbert is good. yngwie is good. you can't compare the two, they each are good in their own ways, yet different. but i prefer to listen to paul, not the classical kinda guy, so yngwie is my style. plus i like paul instruction. nobody teaches like he does.
p.s. yngwie's music has feeling, in the same regard as bach or mozart's music had feeling.
I wish Paul Gilbert was on my guitar playing menu 20 years ago. His playing is awesome and he is so nice to teach people how to play.
My god was EVH and damn that guy for going into isolation after every riff and never really giving anything to his fans except for some expensive toys "he designed" and I bought 'em as well as the records. Truth is the records and the toys are great... but what Gilbert gives people are far beyond great.
Malmsteen is all about cramming as many notes as possible in a song as fast as possible. Whether the notes make sense sounds like is hardly considered. It's almost like he's unable to hold a note for anything over 0.1 second. That + his claims of being the fastest guitarist make him a no-go for me. Anyone has a right to an own opinion though.
dude people need to stop comparing slash(of all people) to PG.. I like them both but i like paul more.. ppl need to stop saying that a player is BETTER than another player just cuz they like him/her better but 1 thing is for sure: in speed PG totally outdoes slash! but slash has nice rythm and such..
but PG is flat out better anyway coz he uses a lot more techniques and doesnt only play in pentatonic. of course, PG's speed is a lot more impressive than slash's
I think the main point is that there is nothing that slash could play that Gilbert couldn't play prerfectly, but slash would struggle with a lot of pauls stuff. PG really is awesome, he even intimidates satch, now thats tough!
i think that we don't have the best guitar player in the world today.....we have lot's of guitar players that play diferent styles....but it's hard to choose the best.... PG is awsome....Slash, Nuno Bettencourt, Malmsteen,Kiko Loureiro...they are all great guitars players....but i don't like Malmsteen for exemple....but, he is a great guitar player
Paul Gilbert est super humble, sa fait deja beaucoup vu comment il a tourner dans le monde avec Racer X et Mr.Big, ensuite c'est le seul que j'ai vu reprendre du Sinatra ou les Spice girl suivi d'un bon Black Sabbath, faire des reprise de Bach, Chopin.. Reprise de Judas Priest, Def Leppard, Bowie, Hendrix... C'est un Showman en plus donc Slash a côter il mange sa clope
start out smaller, trust me. listen to a lot of solos from the scorpions and try those out first. they're very easy, but they helped me come up to this level. also try some steve vai and joe satriani, they help out a lot too. once you get them down, move on up to yngwie malmsteen, ron thal, michael angelo batio, jason becker, etc. here are some pretty good songs to listen to: blue, and far beyond the sun by yngwie; no boundaries by michael, and eugene's trick bag by steve for starters.
The uneducated invigorate me. I was responding to the poorly poorly worded comment by gl5027. Since there is no direct object, as well as some massive run-on occuring, I was assuming that he was saying that Paul Gilbert was in fact the taget of the attack. If you look at my channel, it will become instantly apparent that Paul Gilbert is my favorite guitarist. Sorry for the misinterpretation...
paul gilbert is my favorite guitarist too! but dont bother checking outmy channel as i havent bothered with doing anything since my last 1 was deleted *sigh*

people just need to break out of the box. i mean, look at players like alexi laiho. people just have to be original and get better (which is entirely possible). for a lot of bands, the guitarists are too dumb to think of anything original, and either use a shitload of effects, or the worn out technique of sweep, tap, and repeat. as long as people dont keep relentlessly doing that, guitar will always keep advancing.

That's the thing though. When I listen to him I don't think he's breaking out of the box. It's a lot of old techniques with more gain and a heavier backing sound.

I thought Dimebag was the last one to really push it with his use of the tremolo.

agree
i think that we don't have the best guitar player in the world today.....we have lot's of guitar players that play diferent styles....but it's hard to choose the best.... PG is awsome....Slash, Nuno Bettencourt, Malmsteen,Kiko Loureiro...they are all great guitars players....but i don't like Malmsteen for exemple....but, he is a great guitar player

Paul Gilbert est super humble, sa fait deja beaucoup vu comment il a tourner dans le monde avec Racer X et Mr.Big, ensuite c'est le seul que j'ai vu reprendre du Sinatra ou les Spice girl suivi d'un bon Black Sabbath, faire des reprise de Bach, Chopin.. Reprise de Judas Priest, Def Leppard, Bowie, Hendrix... C'est un Showman en plus donc Slash a côter il mange sa clope

Slash made part of an era in rock and roll...
In a hundred years, when people talk about rock in the 90's, there will be some comment about slash and guns.
Gilbert indeed have some good classes on tape and the extraordinary hit "to be with you". Is that rock for you?

Slash is good but not as Paul Gilbert.

start out smaller, trust me. listen to a lot of solos from the scorpions and try those out first. they're very easy, but they helped me come up to this level. also try some steve vai and joe satriani, they help out a lot too. once you get them down, move on up to yngwie malmsteen, ron thal, michael angelo batio, jason becker, etc. here are some pretty good songs to listen to: blue, and far beyond the sun by yngwie; no boundaries by michael, and eugene's trick bag by steve for starters.

bucket head is paul gilbert?
maybe
But slash style is just wondrous. He's a true guitar god. He's not about sweeps and speed picking.

slash is the most overrated player ever, gilbert is all about the song, he can just play like the devil

no he's a "true guitarist" cuz he CAN'T play sweeps and speed picking his fast playing is 99% legato and on top of that not very good legato

Ahh nope. The reason his stiff sounds so PICK-ATTACKISH seems to bue due to the massive amount of PICKING he does...

paul doing too much picking?? are you makin' us laugh?!! LOL
his legato is like time warp and it's very much part of paul's style

The uneducated invigorate me. I was responding to the poorly poorly worded comment by gl5027. Since there is no direct object, as well as some massive run-on occuring, I was assuming that he was saying that Paul Gilbert was in fact the taget of the attack. If you look at my channel, it will become instantly apparent that Paul Gilbert is my favorite guitarist. Sorry for the misinterpretation...

paul gilbert is my favorite guitarist too! but dont bother checking outmy channel as i havent bothered with doing anything since my last 1 was deleted *sigh*
