[chazz571]

I forgot to have my dinner while i was learning this :p

[IIPhoenixMTA]

fuck, is very hard try to compare his speed, this is insane

[indgiu]

mf huge fingers! they are like tentacles!

[Slave01230]

[shatehouu]

@Slave01230 ibanez iceman

[dwimmerlaik]

@shatehouu Ibanez destroyer.

[shatehouu]

[andfro192856]

[TJGuitarVids]

Quint quint, sex, quint.

[minipots0mark]

NICE ONE GEEZER!

[minipots0mark]

I MET A GUY IN iNDIA WITH TWO LONG PINKIES... YOU SHOULD HAVE HEARD HIM PLAY FLUTE TYPE INSTRUMENTS THAT WAS EXTRA FINGERS ...... SIX ON EACH HAND!!!!

[minipots0mark]

I MET A GUY IN iNDIA WITH TWO LONG PINKIES...  YOU SHOULD HAVE HEARD HIM PLAY FLUTE TYPE INSTRUMENTS

[5456wasmynumber]

"The left hands not too bad on that." Fuck you

[brutaltxdm]

where is this video from?

[damnnicksalltaken]

no wonder

LOOK AT THOSE FINGERS!!!!!! one of the best guitarist of all times!

[05deathmetal]

you are the best man ----> yea you ..

[geomeansearth]

Paul is not human!

Damn!

[MDizzle3282]

Fucking Bastard.....Paul is the best.

[azkeyz]

Ok , I came back today to try this string skipping , I'm a little torn here

This just doesn't make sense for me yet , I keep wanting to play the C natural major shape with root on A 12th fret , the notes are the same , if that's easyer

should I just not bother with the string skipping ?

if it's any consolation I do understand the signature lick.

even the phygrian part.

[azkeyz]

Dear Paul , I'm havin trouble on Mr.scarry , my ibanez RGT42 is too mushy in the low end , doesn't matter what I play through it's still there.

any chance you could come to the house and paul gilbert my ibanez ?

I'm just using my RP350 and a couple of marshals.

[azkeyz]

finaly I've learned this , should I be happy , damn right , it's paul gilbert.

now I can integrate it into my buckethead existance lol

When you touch D on string three , you can slide to or hammer the octave just for thrills.

now if I could just do as well as paul on racer x mr.scarry.

[GSLucas12345]

What guitar is that?

[XnagasadowX]

@GSLucas12345 an ibanez destroyer

[cello39mn]

Yea, okay. I'll just pick up my guitar and to that right now....

[xyzgamerdude]

"Actually, the left hand isn't that bad" ... procedes to blow mind... 

[Bojak10]

He could have just make that "how to grow your fingers" tutorial video already!

[swamdono]

i know how people keep saying how down to earth he is, but i gotta point out that whenever he's referring to something thats really hard, he doesnt saying anything ike "that'll be too hard for YOU to do", he always says how the 'riff' is hard, or "crazy", proves he's not just being nice for the cameras :)

[ArmyRangerish]

PAUL WE KNOW ITS YOU I WE SEE UR PINKY

[dizzychicken1]

That is a sexy sexy guitar

[horaizon8288]

Paul "Isn't this easy?"

[CoryMuratalla]

Paul has skinny but VERY long fingers and big hands so he can reach far distances on the neck easily. For normal handed people like you and me almost impossible to do.

[Schpudd]

@CoryMuratalla he's only stretching from 5 to 8...

[CoryI]

i swear he has 7 fingers on each hand...

[shunichi001]

kakkoiiiiiiii

[ThisIsnotHere666]

Anyone else have to pause this video halfway and reassemble their face because it fucking melted?

[Shredman40000]

He says "like this" and I'm going DAMMITT SLOW DOWN I CAN'T SEE WHAT FRET YOU'RE ON!!!!!!!

[MajesticMist]

A great teacher ^^

[ruubix12]

He is a robot of the nasa

[ToonLinkTink]

Is anyone else watching this just going "wtf".....

[sjphs]

i'm better than paul gilbert period!

[radgainesmaster]

He played on g3 in 07 and it is a destroyer.I own one almost identical...nice guitars

[Trahira517]

3:28 PAUL GILBERT MADE A MISTAKE! UFOS ARE REAL! BIGFOOT EXISTS! THE LOCHNESS MONSTER IS BLOWING ELVIS! ANYTHING IS NOW POSSIBLE!

[ZephyrRock]

lol.. 87 people couldn't follow "let me do it real slow"

[777wanabe]

@ZephyrRock LOL!! Perfect!

[j3d1m4st3r1]

how does he get his tone????

[AaronApack]

he should play with g3

[Aranbelmontguitar]

its a dtt- 700

[kibijit]

Does anyone know what model that guitar is? (Aside from an Ibanez Destroyer) I want to think it's a DT-400 in pearl black, but I don't know D:

[TheAxe4Ever]

@kibijit Hmmm...My bet would be it's an Iceman. Paul used the Iceman off and on before he reversed it and made his Fireman.

[Starchild132]

@TheAxe4Ever icemans cutaway didnt look like that im almost positive its an destroyer

[Somai82]

I don't what scares me more, the left or the right hand..

[allabastormaroe]

It sounds strange, but i think the stretched pattern seems more simple to me because the other one looks as though it would be easier to mess up the picking accuracy when they're so close together.

[omeganukestrike]

Fuck 0_o

[ivanbreakdown]

devilish

[clutch478]

He makes it look so easy... Asshole...

[RyanCaraHimself]

His pinky is almost the same length as his middle finger. Pual Gilbert is Jesus.

[thrashmetalrocker]

IF ANYONES TRYIN TO LEARN IT FROM SIGHT AND EAR LIKE ME CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME OUT AND GIVE ME TABS??? PLEASE LMAO

[SoulSocietyCinemas]

i would give my left nut to play like that...

[toonlink916]

with those fingers he can easily reach the whole freatboard with only stretching his hand.

[shredderSupreme91]

is it me, or is this a variation of the lick at the end of Scarified?

[esky15]

@shredderSupreme91 Not just you.

[MrJayDeeJay]

he so got laid after this.

[TheBlue2u]

DEVIL FINGERz!!!!!

[ZOMBIELANDakaUSA]

I JUST SHARTED

[CrazyKing89]

"I mean its tricky but at least you don't have to do some horrible stretch, because for this you DO have to do a horrible stretch" XD yeah cheers Paul

[dinoBMXidiot]

U lost me Paul... got to get back to it tomorrow...

[eragonelf3]

I was trying to learn what he's playing and I had the notes and everything down...Then he played full speed. I just stopped playing guitar like :O :O

[wardy2001]

Love it, can't quite play it yet, but like the rest of the guys say start slow then build up the tempo.

[A7Xguitarplayer0272]

Pauls pinky is longer than my middle finger

[instinctfx]

What is this from ??? Is this a personal lesson recording or something ????? ???

[VinShreds]

if anyone had a doubt of this not being paul, just look at that pinky..

[flankieaap]

@VinShreds or in the discription :|

[malmstrethai]

@VinShreds that and the actual playing... and the voice... basically the whole video

[DJKr15py]

@VinShreds ...or how fast he plays and how huge his hands are

[Suiton1]

@VinShreds Where IS the pinky???? All I see is middle fingers!

[thewintermachine]

@VinShreds what pinky? i don't see any fingers, just a blur where they should be. :P

[SomeDude0nline]

@VinShreds SERIOUSLY! his pinky is longer than my fucking middle finger.

[loki8lelouch7]

its actually not that hard when you play it slow and gradually build your speed. but making it sound as smooth as this ^ will take you about a day or so depending how much you practice it.

[HeavyMetalUnicorn3]

0:08: "Hmm..." *picks up guitar*

0:14: "This is do-able, I can learn something!"

0:32: "FUCK THIS"

[skolnick14]

@HeavyMetalUnicorn3 i know youre just making a joke but dude you can do it. just play it REALLY slow at first so you know you are doing it right and it sounds good. if you do it slow it becomes part of your muscle memory and before you know it, you'll be playin this fast as hell. I know its boring to play slow but it pays off. you wont get if you just try to play it at speed right from the start.

[hmr66]

omg you sound like Willson in House.

[kylenarad]

Paul Gilbert = best youtube teacher ever!

[twojemytoes]

hes not showing his face cuz hes jesus

[inercia81rulezzz]

he´s cheatung u.u

[18RustInPeace18]

@MenAmongPoodles  do you want a medal?

[wicakcak]

those fingers are not human !!!

[abadonslipknot]

My hand don´t works like that!

lol.

[DuBZzeH]

outside the room theres a line of girls waitting to suck his dick

[HangNail67]

@DuBZzeH quit cutting in line. she's next. not you.

[xXMetalxLoveXx]

@DuBZzeH his guitar gets first dibbs lol

[XCMajor]

@DuBZzeH he has more than one dick

[xcaluhbration]

@DuBZzeH Lol Ive been to Paul Gilbert concerts, its 93 percent men. It must suck for him to only have male groupies.

[wlmason73]

@xcaluhbration Not much instrumental music has a great deal of "chick appeal". I haven't been to any of his concerts early on in his solo career, but I'd guess there was a more even girl/guy split then. Mostly that's because he was focusing on more pop-related material and doing a lot more singing. Paul chooses to play music he's passionate about. I can't think of a more satisfying way to make a living than doing what you love, and seeing the world while doing it.

[xcaluhbration]

@wlmason73 Well said man.

[xSnoweyexp]

@DuBZzeH brilliant comment XD !!!! there is no best guitarist but there is definately no one better than paul !!

[battletron100505]

@DuBZzeH Gilbert used to have girl groupies in the Mr. Big era. But he fingered them and they died. Fearful of his powers he returned to instrumental music.

[TheOzzySabbath]

@battletron100505 Its over 9000!!!

[Nevigo]

@DuBZzeH

They can stand there until the cows go home.He is faithful to his wife.No shit.

[pseudoteolog85]

thx Paul! again helpful staff

[MetallicAciDD]

the first one was way easier, funny

[CanadianMuscleJym]

@3:56 Sounds like a casino, doesn't it?

[merlynfry]

Wow, for once Paul has amazing tone!

[natureboy162]

@merlynfry he usually plays rather quietly in these lessons because he began to develop tinnitus at a relatively young age. how do you feel now?

[webelieveinchuck]

freak with long fingers

[jazz69cat]

it's way fucking cool but i cant even think about how i would use it my style.... i guess as a reptive lick

[qwertyuiop46853]

@jazz69cat A major blues =D

[Schpudd]

@jazz69cat having anything like this in your arsenal of playing is always incredible

[royares]

seria bueno que le pongan subtitulos en español

[TheMetalHeaD256]

these don't look that hard to get the concept of. however i wish he'd slow it down to super fuckin slow so i could look at his picking pattern better.

[MrMetalheart10]

@TheMetalHeaD256 he does 9 upstrokes and 3.85 downstrokes, kinda hard to master but I eventually go it...

[Morain42]

thumbs up if asshole

[Tjeerdoweirdo]

@Morain42 lolwtf?

[DarkFottloch]

we need a lesson that shows us how to get hands like Paul

[MrSpeedgtrst16]

I watched this vid 2 years ago and I finally got both of these licks :p

[TeJoshta]

0:42 - 0:48 translated means. Your hand will explode if you try to play like me so lets just make your hand catch on fire

[TheBadmthrfckr]

"simpler" or "easier" are obviously very relative terms when used by PG.

[Jasaxos]

I thought the first pattern was simpler than the practice one o.o

Regardless i'm light years away from playing the fast even though I understand the concept

Rock on!

[PSPx5000]

I can't believe I can actually play this! :O Paul Gilbert = Best teacher ever!!

[spittlbahl]

ahh..... now I got it. And I thought it was more complicated.

[TechnicalDifficult]

@spittlbahl Can you play it that fast? :O

[Buttanick]

@TechnicalDifficult Sarcasm. : )

[zombiezombie1977]

it's a time warp:)))U need a slowmo camera to see what is really fucking happening with this fingers:)))

[loughbag]

i thought him that.......lol

[abunas1]

do you use those fingers in your wife?

[rbcrazyriderrb]

i did it!!!!!!!!!!!! with a squier

[stratguy123456]

I worked on this until I got it for 5 hrs and played it like crazy and the big skip gave me tendinitis along with playing alot aahhh! be carefull

[notdacoolest]

LOL......."well to learn this pattern ...lets go try something simpler"

the man is cocky without trying to be.... :P

[KornGP47]

87 people just don't know how to do string skips.

[lockdownrocks]

1:08 that's is why he is the king of the "lok what I can do" world.

[TheMaraek]

"so its gonna be, uhm, okay so its *melts all faces within 300 square miles* this ones a bit easier its good to practice"

[artheriford]

The second pattern is easier, Paul? 

[sbradderz]

this is fucking impossible.

[chrismckin]

@3:31, he proves he's human. Other than that though, he could be from another planet.

[glassmoon91]

its an ibanez destroyer

[TheLOUDMUSIC]

@glassmoon91 @neodzieciak destroyer 2

the original destroyer was an exact copy of the explorer, but when gibson sued ibanez put there own spin on it

look very carefully at the lower horn

[neodzieciak]

explorer or copy fo explorer it mustn't be iceman

[neodzieciak]

it isn't iceman it might be explorer or copy of explorer

[demadpotato]

The guitar is an Ibanez Iceman

[caulinrocker1]

@demadpotato no ... its an x series ... this entire series is a knockoff set of gibson explorer style guitars similar to what they did in the 70s with the gibson les paul in which they were sued for their paul knockoff ... sadly ibanez cant even hide the fact that their knocking off the explorere design well

[TheViralSBK]

It's no use, my pinky finger will never be as long as his

[sdbassplayer]

Yeah, thats "something simpler" haha

[CoolKwstas123]

who the fuck is Justin Sandercoe?? xD

[MrFluffay]

2:37 scarified I SAW WHAT U DID THEIR

[neodzieciak]

but when i looked closer i noticed it might be gibson explorer pro

[neodzieciak]

looks like dean shape - cadillac or ml or sth.

check dean web page

[doom666kratos]

What is the name of that guitar? I thank those who help.

[shredtrix808]

@doom666kratos Its is an ibanez destroyer

[camilo080808]

he is so fucking insane!!! XD

[carterburton]

This sounds dumb but I swear my hands are bigger because I play guitar. Muscle development or toning or something.

[Agonizer666]

I got to 0:31 and realized my future is not among guitars

[robosvideos]

1:02 isnt that in scarified??

[megan9987]

quick pinky bend 2:32 x)

[MrFGunadi]

his lessons make him as best guitarist ever such as JS

[doom666kratos]

What is the name of this DVD? I thank those who respond.

[mik8903]

Amaj6 chord arpegiated

[esme553]

Yeah Paul, it's not a horrible stretch if you have four middle fingers. What are the rest of us supposed to do?

[sgt420sx]

oh my poor insignifigant hands,maybe i should put them to use and tie a nuse

[mk4tmusic]

As much as I love Randy Rhoads, he was not better than Paul Gilbert.

[Ragnarok0Aeirk]

Wow talks of guitar hero and this sounding like a exercise because it is proves how fucking retarded people are.

[ausaman15]

@Ragnarok0Aeirk "it is proves".........and ur gunna call people retarded in the same sentence? why dont you read what you just typed before you click "post" next time eh?? lol

[Ragnarok0Aeirk]

@ausaman15

Yes I can call them a retard because getting two common words mixed up because I type fast means nothing. My point was noble, your point was in vain.

[ausaman15]

@Ragnarok0Aeirk type as fast as you want, but read it over when ur done to make sure you dont sound like an uneducated fuck tard. all im sayin lol i was giving you a tip, not insulting you.

[Ragnarok0Aeirk]

@ausaman15

I am sorry I almost forgot you were perfect. A uneducated fuck tard spells like "dis niqqa" and by far that is me according to your perfect world. I won't apologize for mixing up two words and I won't apologize for coming off like I'm not perfect. By the way not capitalizing the t in type at the beginning of a sentence, using ur, and throwing around punctuation like its graffiti makes you look retarded. Use your advice before you dish it out.

[ausaman15]

@Ragnarok0Aeirk i type the way i talk, and if you can comprehend what im saying, then why would you care about punctuation? i had to read ur sentence twice to understand it. if i was talking to you in person, i wouldnt say things like "i are hungry" lol there for i dont make those kind of mistakes, and if i do, i fix them when i read it over. i dont see why you decided to insult me like its realy that big of a deal to you lol.

[Ragnarok0Aeirk]

@ausaman15

Your calling me uneducated you dumb ass and you are still not capitalizing the beginning of your sentences.LMFAO. You don't fix too much you dumb ass. I would rather be the idiot who gets two common words mixed up over being adamant over something that means a lot to me versus the dumb ass who tries to call someone out and still can't compose a correct sentence. At least I spelled the words right and formed a sentence. You stupid cock monger go troll somewhere else.

[bassguitarkeybordwiz]

@Ragnarok0Aeirk

dude this is the internet, not English 1a in college

[Ragnarok0Aeirk]

@bassguitarkeybordwiz

My point. I mixed up two tiny ass words unintentionally, if he feels the need to call me out when he can't even compose a sentence right then he really has no room to speak.

[ausaman15]

@Ragnarok0Aeirk do i have to capitalize my sentence and spell the words correctly for you to understand this? fuk off and die you fuking sperm dumpster!  lmfao

[Ragnarok0Aeirk]

@ausaman15

If your gonna try and correct me then yes. How about you learn to shut your cock holster you fucking 15 year old fag. Go have a circle jerk with your friends and rethink your logic.

[ausaman15]

@Ragnarok0Aeirk i was correcting you because no one would say "it is" when they mean to say "its" if they were actually holding a conversation. Im almost 18 btw

[Ragnarok0Aeirk]

@ausaman15

Apparently your 18 your acting like it.

[ausaman15]

@Ragnarok0Aeirk what

[aaws95]

EAR FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[agrijag]

I dont like artists like this...Their playing sounds like one big finger exercise.

[jasmmmm]

@agrijag That's because this is a demonstration video. Duh.

[skwizzgar]

@agrijag thats cause youre closed minded..not everything has to be 3 note blues..and not everything has to be fast and technical..but you are obviously one of the blues elitists or something just from that comment..paul gilbert is one of the best guitar players in the world no doubt

[Lad0Barn0vi]

stop talking about his fingers, there are guitarits who have shorter ones but play more better

[Ragnarok0Aeirk]

@Lad0Barn0vi

True Randy Rhoads was a much better guitar is in my opinion and he was like 5'3.lol. Tiny guy but amazing guitarist.

[MrJJModern]

@Ragnarok0Aeirk how can you compare Rhodes to Gilbert... Obviously, skill wise and technique, Gilbert is better, thats a fact. But Rhodes was more famous.
