Turns out THIS fireman is made as a tribute to his favorite drink, 'kikusui sake.' the color and the symbol are from the bottle, and his control knobs are caps from the bottle as well. So yeah, its one-of[f]-a-kind. :-P
a couple things that are really cool about that piece. 1. That is a VERY hard, controlled tempo. So much harder than a full speak shred. 2. Talk about doing things that hard way. That piece was never meant to be done with a pick. Paul is sick.
my word if only i could do that @ 1/4th of the speed he did it at with the same accuracy , whoa il probably stop breathing listening to that like i just did now lol
I'm trying to learn this song right now, and yep, its even harder than it looks. There is no rhythm to memorize, only note patterns which are constantly changing throughout the entire piece. It's gonna be a slow learn, but if i can do it, any regular mortal can.
It's so nice to see a master take time out of his world to give us mortals a taste of what can be done...if only by the gods...still appreciated...with tears
Hey fans of great guitar music, be sure to check out CatClemonsOfficial for some killer tunes! Comment and subscribe! Would love to hear from all you guitar players, thanks for the support!
Just goes to show that the best guitarrists in the world don't need 40 frets and 4 necks (2 hands?!) and a tempo that makes scales sound like a beehive.
Paul Gilbert threw me a pick when he played at the Button South in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, back in the day. He was sick that night, before the show I saw him receiving acupunture on his right hand, in his trailer, he had the Flu, makes your body achy! His performance was still perfect!
I love Andy Timmons, Steve Vai, Jason Becker, Satch, Petrucci etc but none of them make me feel as enthusiastic about playing the guitar as much as Paul does. He will always be my number 1 :)
What I dont get is that this guy is like the next best thing to a god in Japan, how in the name of creation does he not have more success in the country of his birth???!!
Paul is definitely in the top 5 greatest guitarists in the world, and also in the top 5 most decent, down to earth, quirky and likeable human beings in the world. I love this guy!
@Picurs ..yeah, no arguments here. for sure paul has a love of music in general --he does not think a violin is for douche bags, for example. some music NEEDS to be heard how it was created though ..otherwise you are riding in an elevator and the muzak is playing a cover version of stairway to heaven as performed on a harp. sure the notes are the same but it doesnt rock. at all. paul rocks. we all agree on that !
Hey! i think those 5 people who clicked the dislike button drop their ears after hearing PG's awesomeness, they just can't accept that they suck! haha oh hear you go dude, use this super glue to fix your ears good as new!
Does anyone know if this guitar started out as the Cherry wood Fireman ? That's the only other humbucker fireman. Seems there was a point in time when we stopped seeing it and started seeing this one .
That's awesome

not saying one is better than the other... just saying they're supposed to sound different... but greatly awesome as well
