I'm basicaly a bluesman, from Bessie Smith(non guitarist) to Lonnie Johnson, Blind willie McTell Son House, Robert Johnson(of course), to Otis Rush, Freddie King, B.B. Kind(of course), Buddy Guy( . . .), to Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor . . . Stevie Ray Vaughn, but, I do like to give these neo-classical shredd guys a listen every now and then(Adrian Vandenberg!).
There's some stuff better than others, Steve Vai. He's done great things; but, I like Paul Gilbert the most.
@oker59 I'm glad to see a blues man keep such an open mind, I am constantly seeing blues guys bash shredders as calling them soulless, and have no emotion. It's good to meet a true musician instead of a sheep. :)
Considering how many "guitar gods" have sat back on their past accomplishments, it is refreshing to see an amazing player like Paul Gilbert continue to improve as he gets older. Not only can the guy melt faces with incredible technique, but his phrasing, dynamics, and feel can rival the greatest blues player. He's a great melodic songwriter as well. Billy is absolutely scary on bass.
I too had the honor of meeting Billy at a bar in Tokyo, After meeting him I had the pleasure of kicking his ass in a foozball game.Loser had to buy a round of beers.
And to add to this my band was playing in another bar in Tokyo,(different time) and was surprised to see Paul walk in.He quickly jumped up on stage and jammed with us.After jamming a couple of tunes he came up behind me and began to play my bass while I was still wearing it. A memory that I will never forget.
can't remember the last time i saw the guitar player switch to playing rhythm and the bassist having a solo...but it was probably the last video i saw with these to guys in it!
I met Billy Sheehan on the B3 tour in 2007. My dad and myself talked with him for nearly an hour. Mr. Sheehan said that I have the coolest dad EVER. Billy was awesome.
@gotbass33727 I spoke to him after the Mr. BIG concert in Holland, to the entire band, They are all awesome! But Billy and I were just drinking a beer and talking 'bout stuff, not specifically music, that was the cool part!
One of the best bass n guitar jams I've seen on youtube. There was chemistry and complimentary playing going on rather than mindless shredding in other "big name" player's videos.
Finally, That Metal Show on VH1 Classic got super cool and had Billy Sheehan on a couple weeks ago and finally got a REAL guest guitarist in Paul Gilbert on their show. I was wondering when Trunk was gonna get with it.
paul coming on that metal show might be my fault. im not saying it is, but it might be because thread that asked who you wanted to see on that metal show. i said paul gilbert or at least make him a guest guitarist. i was freaking thrilled that they finally got paul on that metal show. now they need MAB and jeff loomis as guest guitarists and i will be eternally happy with the guest guitarist history on that show.
