he can play the blues like the best of 'em. not just notes, neither, real feeling. no ego there, too. none of that guitar- great shit. if you had a one-on-one jam with him though, he'd probably run circles around you, then buy you a beer.
Thank you for posting this, Paul is one of the most gifted musicians in the world, he has everything, technical proficiency, an amazing sound, a totally rhythmic percussive feel. Warmth, personality, on and on. He is astounding.
Punk derivative up "your" ass, that is like saying philosophers will be replaced by double talking republicans swirling in nonsense. Punk died and we all await the day of rap and hip/hop death, get back to actually playing with a sense of virtuosity.
GIlbert is very underrated guitarist and a teacher grad of GIT, he knows what he is talking about. Where is the Satriani G3 DVD with Gilbert?? Go back and listen to Robin Trower now that will be a lesson anyone desiring to play should experience.
What's the shape, or make of the guitar got to do with it? He's playing through single coils for christ sakes, does it have to be be a pre-CBS strat, or a black one one with a rosewood fretboard as well? Man, the stupidity of the comments just astound me!
@68nevets68 If you don't know the difference in tone between guitars then you're the ignorant one. I said nothing of his ability to play. You should probably do a little homework before you call someone else stupid.
I know full well the difference in tones. I've owned more guitar than you can imagine strat boy and I actually prefer strats to any other guitar, but your comment had nothing to do with tone and more about brand and shape. Sorry but if you don't hear a good single coil tone and Trower-like style here, then I'll continue to call you stupid...stupid. Sorry you're a bitter shallow-minded guitarist and doesn't "get it".
@68nevets68 The video said Robin Trower version, Robin Trower plays a strat. Who said anything about shape of a guitar?? There is no Strat tone here. If you can't tell that, maybe you should sell a few of those guitars and take some lessons. If you have anything else to say about this, please send me a private message. I'd love to here from a pro like you.
@dudeblues10 No, I'd rather call you out here...and no, the video says Paul Gilbert Plays Robin Trower...tell me more smart guy...and no, I wouldn't waste my time schooling a putz.
Sell my guitars, why? I'm good and like playing and don't say stupid things about great guitar players because I'm bitter and out of touch. Hmmmm, do you hate imports and Obama too. Don't worry, I know you...all to well.
@dudeblues10 True, there isn't any strat tone, that's because those are hum-canceling single coils, wich sounds more like a humbucker than a single-coil. and this sound is WAYY too thick, creamy and awesome to be a strat.
Fact is; Paul could play this through a Pignose with a Ric and still sound 100% more Trower-like than you, so your negative comment holds no weight...like a retard calling a genius dumb is what you basically did here. Got some comments about Gary Moore playing a strat instead of a Les Paul? Would Trower's "style" be different if he played a Flying V? Like I said: what's your point? So, let's slam Gilbert for not thinking enough to bring a strat to this event to make you happy.
I know Paul Gilberts good but Robin trowers vibrato makes your balls shake and your teeth rattle. These shredders just can't resist, well, shredding. Lol
@jgoodman75 Quality over quantity. The flavor-of-the-week popstars have a larger quantity of fans because they have the corporate backing for their marketing campaigns. The brilliant artists like PG attract their fans based on talent and the magic they create, not skimpy outfits and suggestive lyrics.
/end snooty response
PG makes me want to practice my guitar and throw it away at the same time.
@shredicon86 I wouldn't know, I was just getting into guitar when the decade ended, let alone getting into music. But yeah, he was....erm, big with those guys lol, but I thought the biggest audience was Japan, whereas it was harder to get famous in the US and Europe? At least, that's what Billy Sheehan said at a clinic.
@MegashadX Ah, same here. Started with Nu Metal believe it or not, haha! Wes Borland is still the shit though IMO. Everything I know about paul has been from research, none of it from first hand knowledge (except hearing how rediculously awesome his tone and phrasing are). I believe Billy though, Japan is a whole different animal when it comes to rock and metal.
@jgoodman75 sad thing is there are people that don't listen to Lady GAGA that still think guys like Slash, David Gilmour and Keith Richards are better than Paul because they say he doesn't play "with feeling" HAHA. I love his "make a face" comments about bending and vibrato!
@jgoodman75 And the fact that he loves Robin Trower one of the most talented and under appreciated guitarists of all time.I saw Robin at the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee and he was awesome.
he should go up and play with robin trower at crossroads. robin is one of pauls inspirations and they would sound awesome together. they also have a very similar sound. they both use vintage modern and the song radiator sounds like a trower song
hahaha yes i can do it withous making the face, then he sounds like his out of breath because it was so hard not to make the face :P haha so nice Paul
