at 1:00 when he says "a little bit slower", he actually makes the guitar sound sounds like its teasing us, and it knows that we never really will be able to play like him..
One thing about Blues and Jazz is they can flow very well together. To see this in action, listen to players who really fit into neither yet incorporate both into their play. Here is a good listening guide Brad Paisley Chet Atkins Steve Wariner James Burton Les Paul David Gilmour Merle Travis Al DiMeola Yingwe Malmsteen Randy Rhodes Django Reinhardt Marty Friedman Joe Satriani Steve Vai Allan Holdsworth Keith Urban There are more players (especially in World Music Genres) to hear as well.
@vengenceownsyourass -You left out one very important player who is very good at fusing jazz and blues. One of my ultimate favorites, Larry Carlton. I know you wrote there are more players, but i wanted to post it just in case anyone is interested.
@jeffmach993 This is from "Guitars from Mars" which, unfortunately for us, was produced only in Japan. Even if you can find the DVD it likely won't be viewable on your player because the Japanese productions are in a different format and not viewable on most American DVD equipment.
Iam in the best band in the world : the satan is playing our lead guitar!!!...umh wait wtf someone is KICKING he's ass!!!... young padavan what is your name ? mR paul gilbert dear sir ... paul gilbert? lol this is hilarious we must change youe name(paul playing get out of my yard) umh wait that was a joke (sound of death by pick thunder !!!!!!!!!!!)... ; p
The playing takes time to develop however the theory really isnt as complicated as it sounds, you just have to become familiar with the terminology. Between any octave say A to A, there are only twelve notes and each note has a term ie.. root, minor 2nd (flat 9), major 2nd (9) etc up to twelve notes. He is basically using all the notes that are not commonly used within a five note pentatonic scale, which helps give it the exotic sound :-)
@ex3vious Right, the term is chromatic for an added note that isnt normally a part of a particular scale. Now depending on where the added note is in relation to the root determines what you would call the chromatic note, ie a whole step above the root is a 9th (2nd) a whole step below would be a minor 7th. My point from the previous post bein there are twelve notes between each octave and each note has a name
@ruthietreselan It's not a blues scale. I'm a blues player. I've watched A LOT of blues players. I've never played that and I've never seen one play that. Why? Because it's not a blues scale.
@verbw002 seriously? you're fretting over a technicality...I'm sure you are a blues player, but there is no fucking way you even come close paul gilbert. As far as i'm concerned, he can call the scale whatever he bloody well likes. Keep practicing and then be pedantic when you don't just sound envious
@whata57 Funny thing is, I don't care that I can't absolutely shred a straight pentatonic scale. I'm perfectly happy with my playing and the fact that I can put some real soul into my music. I'm not saying that Paul can't, I've not listened to him enough to be able to say that, I'm just talking about this video.
@ruthietreselan It's not a blues scale. I'm a blues player. I've watched A LOT of blues players. I've never played that and I've never seen one play that. Why? Because it's not a blues scale.
@TheSynyster94 It's something like, "I'm really good and have all sorts of cool tricks and licks that you will never be able to play" followed by "Why are you still watching? You're brain must be fried".
@TheSynyster94 Yeah...he's one of those guys who is so schooled on musical theory and song writing that almost nobody can understand it. He's just too good for his own good.
@ElJucifer I wouldn't say Paul Gilbert's style is more tasteful than Bucket's. Paul definitely comes up with more and better licks but Bucket's superior phrasing is beyond comparison outside of the Marty Friedman. Paul is more accessible, that's probably the better word when differentiating the two.
@Vaizorg If you're talking an album like electric tears or colma then yeah, cool, buckethead has some fucking cracking stuff, amazing melodies and note choice. But when he shreds, no, he's fast and thats really it. He plays afew awesome licks then descends into nonsense, and im saying this as a fan. So yes, when he plays tasteful, songs like lone sal bug, hills of eternity, padmasana, he is genius, when he plays fast, its all style no substance. Whereas Paul does both well.
@ElJucifer Yes, exactly, although that's not to say sometimes it doesn't work in his favor, when he's able to perfectly blend melody and nonsense, like in the live version of Welcome to Bucketheadland (you know which one I'm talking about) it's absolutely amazing. But it does get old, I agree. I'm also constantly in awe of Bucket's picking style, which does SO MUCH work while still looking loose and effortless.
@54321seb How tall is Buckethead? I know the theory of these two being the same person has been dismissed, but they're both really tall, absolutely SHRED, and there's no pictures of Buckethead anywhere. I can't believe in this day and age, with all the technology out there, that there's no pictures of Buckehead anywhere! It's so mysterious!! Oh yeah, same hair too.
@William1st theres also no videos or pictures of paul and bucket head playing together! since they are such good friends apparently, and paul taught buckethead you would think they would jam. weird huh.
@William1st ... there actually are a couple of pictures of buckethead... and they are in no way the same person. Paul gave lessons to Brian though back in the day.. anyways other proof is that they tour at the same time and play shows on teh same day... if you can think of any other logical proof then you must really be superstitious but their playing style is extremely different as well
that theory has been disproven a LONG time ago. his fingers are different size (paul's pinky is longer), they have been at different places at different times which is proof enough that they aren't the same person, their style is COMPLETELY different other than buckethead abusing that paul gilbert lick, their height is different, and there is a video of buckethead unmasked and he is NOT paul gilbert.
@GoodMetalFTW Huh. Good to know, I guess. Doesn't matter really. 2 badass guitar players. Couldn't care less exactly who is who. I just like the music, and learn from the technique.
of course. i think every long time fan knows that buckethead was a student of his. what most people don't know is that buckethead's main teacher is actually pebber brown. he is a phenomenal guitar teacher and he has a channel on youtube with lessons and the likes. check him out if you haven't already.
paul is the best teacher and my favorite technical guitar player for teaching. i like dimes crazy style and heaviness. i play low tuned dropped d and ive used some of pauls techniques which fit the way i play very well at 26 years of playing. man i wish i could play as fluent as him though.
@npgm1 I don't know how you can say this isn't blues.... oh maybe you don't know anything about music. MY BAD. It may not be Albert Collins or BB King, but he's obviously playing rock/blues idioms in his Paul Gilbert-ish way.
Very good, but... where is the blues?
