[jaredbroider]

MAAAAAAN its not the nba! its a recordingcompany! i threw it on the ground!

[toxicdooney]

Here that guitarists, actually practice with a metronome or a drum loop as boring as it sounds it will pay off. I know because it has worked for me. Now get off youtube and practice!

[Sandemose]

This is the funniest shit Ive seen in decades. Best, Sandemose

[venpresath]

2:05 I love how he just passively rips on the guitar while talking to us xD

PPP!!! PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!

[SerenityDivide]

MAB has the best advice ever! So inspiring lol.

[superdanlewis]

is that the pick of destiny on his necklace???

[xPurpleDrinkx9001]

does he straighten his hair or something?

[billmeedog]

@instrumentalist28,

Wrong!

The only time Paul Gilbert would recommend to start a new string on a downstroke would be if he finished the previous string on an upstroke!

MAB is talking about the 3-NPS situation where you start-out playing: DOWN - UP - DOWN on your starting-string, then UP - DOWN - UP on the next-string, etc!

When playing linear-scales (like MAB in this video!) Paul Gilbert is a strict alternate-picker, so PG would've given the EXACT SAME ADVIDE as MAB in this video!

[spectrox21]

@billmeedog another shit talker, i bet u can do it better right?

[billmeedog]

@spectrox21,

You've misunderstood!

My comment was directed at instrumentalist28 (NOT MAB!) Whose comment you CANNOT read, cuz he has removed it! It said: "How come Paul Gilbert says to ALWAYS start a new string on a downstroke?!?"

Paul Gilbert (strict alternate-picker) would NEVER suggest ALWAYS starting on a down-stroke!

Now go read xboxdragondude's comment (he agreed with me!)

So I ain't talking shit, BUT I CANNOT (and WILL NOT ever) play better than MAB - LOL!

Got it?

[TheTrollMage]

@billmeedog I've seen Gilbert's videos also and he definitely did NOT say to always start on a downstroke on a new string. spectrox is a baddie, noob :D

[billmeedog]

@spectrox21,

So what I was trying to explain to the guy who removed his comment (instrumentalist28) was that Paul Gilbert AND Michael Angelo Batio BOTH approach most of their picking-strategies (alternate-picking) the same way. Furthermore, they are BOTH AWESOME players and teachers, and as such, they would both give similar advice when it comes to 3-note-per-string picking-patterns...I guess I don't see how that makes me a "shit-talker?" I sure NEVER said I could play better?!? WTF?

[DaveMustaineOwns]

what the fuck is with the "pick of destiny' comments? lmfao i've seen like 6

[mmim4]

LMFAO when he was saying i would play it perfect then he (tries to play bad) he failed at that he cant play bad if you tried

[Soloing4ever]

@mmim4 AHAHAHHA....yeah! xD

[happyslap10]

i love the way that when he explains crap playing.... hes still insanely amazing! :D

[guitarmessiah95]

[Nidaime299]

[GaryNull]

nice "hair"

[ShittakeBukakke]

Haha he just can't help but show off with his hand-switching thing xD.

[partynaked11]

he sounds jus like homer simpson 0:30

[OperationEndGame]

His advice is right on the spot. When I practice some riffs, I compose my own background music with an tried-n-true workhorse.. Fruity Loops.

[TimJMorrison]

Anyone who's interested in copying what batio practiced when he was earlier but is new and can't figure it out, the notes are:

F - Gb - Ab - Bb - B(Cb)- Db - Eb - F - Gb - Ab - Bb - Cb - Db.

MAB is tuned down a semitone, so he starts on 4th fret of D, but if you are in E standard start at 3rd fret.

It is just Gb major/Eb minor starting on an F(3rd fret of D).

[CraSSiou]

@TimJMorrison Thanks a lot.

[wolfhalen]
