Paul Gilbert - Melodic 3 note per string pattern

[xbeastingx]

I LOVE HIS T-SHIRT !!! Thumbs up if you agree =D

[metallscreamo]

gilbert siker

[hidragon91]

I used to be able to play this, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

[megan9987]

Lol, just when you think it can't humanly be played faster, It can!

Paul is too good :(

[MrShaktirock]

Thatz really interesting! It looks like the guitar will catch fire with that speed

[MarkDally]

NOT SURE WHAT'S COOLER, THE RIFF OR THE T-SHIRT. Unfortunately I live in Australia where voting is compulsory (sort of like enforced freedom) but I have still managed to avoid it for 10 yrs, one of my proudest achievments.

[Dubaiman123]

Not a great fan of this style of guitarplaying..but just like the guy, clearly a great guitarplayer..always prepared to share his knowledge..showing how he approaches things..counting his doths...17th position..haha..

[Brentypooz]

@Yahmanjim0077 #i dunno if you willunderstand this but: B17 b19 b20 e17 b20 b19 b17 e22 e19 e17 b20 b19 REPEAT.. :D

[RyuuzakiRue21]

1:55 im seeing afterimages of his pinky finger :)

[darkmatterdoesit]

voting is for old people

[OrisLover]

Awesome!

[neochase1]

another guitar god. Paul Gilbert is sooooooooooooooo good. I've learned so much from his video's!

[xN4THxTH3xDEM0Nx]

VIRGIN MEDIA, I WILL FUCKING SUE YOU FOR MAKING PAUL GILBERT BUFFER!!!!

[syngt]

lmao wen he stared playng fast my computer froze

[ice0wn4g]

another 3 note per string pattern that is very melodic is found in his song "silence followed by a deafening roar". still on the b string, but start on the c# on the 14th fret. continue to the D# then the E. skip to the high E string then the F# G# B. fall back and play G# hammer E, pull off to the G#, pull off to B. then this part is tricky: back to the B string, play E D# C#, jump to the G string and play the b note right there at your 3rd finger. then repeat E D# C# on the b. :D

[cbar0x]

Paul Gilbert can play faster than neutrinos

[craigpiano730]

Paul rules.

[zeppelin25101980]

its from daddy brother lover little boy by mr.big

[BullToTheShit]

Focus on the obnoxious sound the pick is making @1:47. Cleekh cleekh cleekh, someone needs to invent a way to prevent that. It REALLY detracts from the melody.

[510shredder]

@BullToTheShit its not like youre hearing a direct line of his guitar...its the cam and/or mics they had set up. listen to a studio track of his and hear if you see it. btw i don't find it distracting...sounds like you're focusing on it too much ;)

[SlayerL66]

@BullToTheShit Actually paul plays that way on purpose. He picks at an angle to articulate the strings with more punch. He states it in an a video lesson. He likes the sound of the picking noise or how he describes it as " the noise you get when you put a card in your tire spokes on a bike".

[JuanRockRick]

@1:00 Allright I play that, allright its ok, wait what? wtf are you doing noo, WAIT!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUU....

[gorfjorf2112112]

Can't help but love this guy. All round nice guy.

[Mazzocki]

Make sure that last fucking note is an UP stroke

[Nevigo]

That darn monstrous righthand..lol!

[mqmqmwmw]

0:21 WTF ? Are you kidding me ? Come on Paul dont take us as dumbers

[lpgamer2]

i love his tone, its not what i'd use but its great, its clean but still distorted and you can hear EVERYTHING :D

[DazedAndConfused1974]

Man, you gotta love his tone!

[mitchellvanvliet]

I cant explain it but i can play it....

As it should be.

[zephyrguitar25]

You Robot !!!



[awtube869]

funny how you can hear the pick noise -- sounds like a baseball card stuck in the spokes of a bicycle rim ... remember those days? :)

[TheCowboySantos]

@awtube869 yeah that always trippped me out. or like humming bird's wings.. fffaaasst

[Siggelump]

That lick is used in "Unforgiven" on "What if..." by Mr. Big! Love that lick.

[thecoldnovrain89]

He used to do this lick in his Racer x solo's! Awesome stuff

[johnadorian]

He makes single coil pickups sound good.

[JD0x0]

@johnadorian IMO single coils sound better than humbuckers. It depends on the design though. Most single coils are generic and use Alnico 5 (or worse ceramic) magnet with a wind close to 6K giving an overly bright thin sound. You should try some of my single coils, theyre big and beefy but have great clarity and definition. Generic humbuckers sound grainy and buzzy with distortion which is why I prefer singles.

[PGspeed88]

@johnadorian

As impossible as it seems, yes, he does.

[scotty688]

reminds me of PG's Glasgow Kiss

[zeppelin25101980]

thats from the Mr.big song daddy lover brother little boy

[sjdss]

the beginning looked like he was playing the dorian box position everyone knows that one!

[zomgitzakitteh]

dane cook plays guitar? XD

[Tube1Patrick2]

@FloydKahler

for the longest time he wasn't, but on his most recent Ibanez signature model he went with Single Coils. They are stacked single coils though, so they are noiseless, and not a true single coil like you'd find on an old Strat or something. I think he started paying attention more to tone and what not shortly after doing some work with Joe on the G3 tours cause his tone dramatically changed after that.

[ducky811]

I LOVE THAT SHIRT!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

[veguixor]

tell a japanese robot to do that

[MrCold768]

paul get rid of that guitar.. its fuckin ugly

[jasonbecklegend]

twelve... fifteen...seventeen fret!!!

One proof more of says us "Paul Gilbert isnt a Robot"

[SebaChannel]

one cool thing about paul gilbert is that he is more humble than any of us

for example, he like to talk to people (not like any other rockstar that avoid cameras) and he also like guitars like this, he could use razorback or esp or any guitar with 24 frets and a antichrist shape but he plays guitars without floating tremolo and with a classic shape

[cospMalmsteen]

machine of coffe!

[TheHornet79]

I love how theres a related video that says" Paul Gilbert Sweeps with his ass"

[vatolojoe]

ranked number 4 shred guitarrist in a reader poll, saw him last week, he's impressive at Live shows

[boricubano2005]

@vatolojoe who the the hell is 1, 2 nd 3???

its prolly just him in a costume lol

[Paisty]

man i wonder if he practices these licks before hand cause he always looks and sounds as if he making the lick up on the spot, then BAM!! plays it like so fast.

[VMP007]

Looks like daddy brother lover little boy solo

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

Check me out for the best lessons on here aside from Pauls.

[karakaraswee]

3 people are old people.

[jimmyleppard6]

[mikelimited]

[gibderfenson]

@mikelimited ibanez iceman

[Zorlak108]

@gibderfenson wrong :D Ibanez Fireman

[EthanAnderson1]

how does he keep his guitar from busting into flames?

[C861986]

@EthanAnderson1 its a fireman, it puts out the flames automatically the instant they ignite

[berserkerfunestus]

[AdamBoersen]

"I can't explain it, but I can play it!"

[EDSTER2020]

love it

[MattRing]

Paul is the best Guitar Teacher ever!!!

[SpartacusFrye]

Just about blew my load at 2:06.

[Sunderlanding]

@SpartacusFrye You should really meet more girls.

[SpartacusFrye]

@Sunderlanding Well played. 

[Carlosisexisting]

rhythmical

[phleb1968]

One of the few shredders who hods the guitar so low.

[Jonamund]

the fact thath the gain is so low and he can still play that fast and that CLEAN is amazing

[yaruk45]

Paul Gilbert is the Sheldon of Guitar World

[duseanmandik]

crazy fast

[prankovalero]

he played this lick live when he was playing Technical Difficulties, yeah!!!

[mobiusII]

I just pissed my pants.

[bitchslapper12]

I love how you can hear how aggressive Paul is when he picks which you can hear his Area 67' pickups catches!

[aneyekay1]

@bitchslapper12 agreed !

[Wachiga]

Prob jerks off too much

[tnt420tnt]

does any1 have some tabs for this. i wish he would explain more

[Lesterdevin]

if you bitch you cant do it, that simple

[TheInvalidChronicles]

damn fast lol :D how old is paul gilbert now?

[JamesCrow22]

lol when he played it I thought "man he's fast" then...he speeds up...

[Langealot]

any more gain and it would sound really muddy... not my kinda tone but it works for his style of playing.. gilbert is awesome

[RoseCrush]

I love how he had to count the markers :) He's such a badass.

[coxtube]

lets see hummm twelve, 17!!! haha

[iholowxzx]

i want that shirt

[pm7300]

@iholowxzx I too.

[Kamis5050]

He's freaking fast! :D

[ilovestinalots]

i dont like the tone on this guitar :/

[fenderbender28]

his treble comes from his picking btw haha

[ilovestinalots]

not really, some of the overtones are from picking but most are from the wood of the guitar.

[Ozznize]

i think that its an ok tone but not for this kind of playing. needs a bit more gain

[ilovestinalots]

i think its too empty

[DougFCKNSteele]

I love this guy.

[mitsurugi009]

his guitar looks sooooooooooo cool with his HIPPIE STRAPS! \../,

[paulignacius]

That was a sick lick!

[Telecastersim]

Gilbert sei un Grande! se ero femmina te la davo

[guitarman069]

So umm Paul ,did you vote for Obama?? i reckon you voted for that bassist republican Huckabee lol

[Jacob00002]

Paul fuckin' Gilbert!!!!!!

[polarity1]

I can see this guy being an awesome guitar teacher, he's really easygoing.

[chaostheory4life]

i enjoyed learning this

[danophile07]

from 1:50 to 2:08 just put me in a coma

[asdfasdfsdfsd]

this sounds like the solo to the Mr. Big song "Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy. (The Drilling Song"

[LateNightShredder]

fucking love that song. learned the solo and still can only play it perfectly at 1/3 speed

[alterbridge111]

i fuckin love gilbert, not in a gay kinda way but he is something else on that guitar... recieved an email from the man himself aswell, that was great - awesome that he has time to chat with his fans!!!

[acdcislaw]

how did you get his email address?

[SOCOM018]

check his website but dont ruin it for everyone else by sending BS emails all the time and killing his patience

[acdcislaw]

don't worry about that, i'm a huge Gilbert fan and would never send him BS, thanks for the advice

[erenoi]

Remove that comment before you get loads of douchebags sending him stupid emails. lol :3

[skaterskagg1]

my ears just melted from him playing that so fast.

[riversidedrive]

so here was the exercise that probably inspired the solo for 'daddy brother lover little boy'

either that or the song inspired the exercise. whatever :P

[Kaoji]

awesome

[Kaoji]

i find it odd however that paul was unable to immediatly tell where the 17th fret was...

[nomis69]

lol well this is easy compared to the other lesson im gonna upload

[minib32]

when ye get that good ye probably dont think in frets, or notes, u think in music XD

[Illgiveutheswineflu]

@Kaoji He's still better than you.
