@Dreamscapevirus no, it's a pink pickguard. He wanted it to match the whole guitar. That model has no back routing. All the electronics are attached in the front.
........ i've been through music theory, but not M.I.T. Mr. Gilbert is top notch, if not THE top notch !!! this man has the WHOLE fretboard memorized !!! plus all of his fingers ... SWEET GENIUS ...;-)
I am a pretty mean player, i can shred with the best but i have to say when it comes to pure unbelievable accurate masterful speed picking, Gilbert (and petrucci ) completely totally leaves anyone else behind. Check out Vinnie moore if you like that stuff though.
does ability to shred pick depend partially on the thickness of the pick you use? I can play fast legato stuff but as much as i try i cant get the hang of shred picking. keep in mind ive tried everything! its something that would be cool to do even though technically i dont need to be able to do it. ANY POINTERS? is part of it having the physical gift if you will, like better structure in your hand??
Try a jass 3 pick. hard pick. i know thats what a lot of shred players use... i used it on my shitey rendition of "fives" by Guthrie Govan, it does the trick pretty good.
the thicker the pick the harder it is to pick very fast, thick picks are for strumming and thinner picks make it a lot easier to alternate pick. I recommend using 0.60mm picks (jim dunlop are best) and paul gilbert uses those, i use them too and it is a lot easier to play fast (or shred) then with the thicker picks i used to use. Trust me try those .60mm picks it helps a lot and practice everyday youll eventually play like paul gilbert.... hope it helps =DDDDD rock on!!!
thanks for the tip! I switched to thin picks and I'm getting use to them. I'm finding I still have to work out some fast lines but I have much more control and there's less pick to stumble on. I would love to play like paul gilbert. I practice religiously, but hopefully at the end of the day i can play like me! :) thanks again.
do you use alternate or economy picking? I personally think alternate is the way to go, although economy was easier for me to pick up at first. my advice is play slowly first and focus on using your wrist only for the picking, then build up your speed :)
I always use economy picking when necessary, but I do a lot of pull offs and hammer ons. I tried building up speed but I also found to play faster runs it seems like you really have to have an exact idea where to go, and being a jazz guitarist you never know where you're going to go until that moment comes...so that presents yet another obstacle in the musical journey! thanks for your help.
not a problem :) If your really dedicated to playing this kind of style, it might be worth trying some alternate picking. If your worried about losing your current picking technique, dont worry, I switched from economy to alt and I find I can still economy pretty easy :) Most shredders in the style of Paul use alternate picking
wait my bad. i alternate pick... is economy picking the same thing as alternate or are they different? ive been playing since i was 12, and i guess i didnt pay attention to the terminology. i always just figured out ways around the guitar.
Alternate picking is basically just an up down up down motion, you never pick in the same direction twice.
economy picking is where you ovoid "over picking" Its actually quite hard to explain in text form :) if you want you can do a search to get what I mean. Thats cool, I too started when I was 12 :D
He's a f**king freak. Even his fingers are a foot long. Just look at it...shit. That's the longest little pinky i think i've ever seen. (and i don't mean his dick)
are you kidding.... those dudes have hardly any musical talent whatsoever - the only reason i don't say they have none is because they can compose a "song" but they have no talent compared to anyone like Paul, John Petrucci, Yngwie, or pretty much any metal musician in any underground or bigger band (like Slayer) if you're looking for real talent do not look at grunge - grunge killed any type of music with any skill whatsoever back in the very early 90's - the 90's sucked........
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Fuck off, Tom Morello is one of the best guitarists in the world. Most people only know of him cos of guitar hero now, still can't believe he did that, but I've been a big fan since the beggining, & he's an amazing guitarist, not just cos of his vast creativity, but because he has such a good technical demand of the instrument. If you don't like his experimental music than that's fine, but he's a brilliant player, he was taught by Batio ffs
He's not far off man, Paul Gilbert plays very simple stuff uno. None of it is particularly tricky, he's just got it all perfected. He's absolutely insane at what he does, but as a shredder, he is actually overrated. I'm not saying Tom Morello's better, he's definately not, but he can play, he might well be a faster picker.
the funny thing is he's always kind of "hip"..back in the eighties he had the hair metal hair and now he has a more casual short-cut hairstyle. always a cool guy though
wow how can i do that ??? Help what do is do just get my fingers strong enough to go up and down the fret like a mad men or should i just hang out on route 66 and wait for satan Help how do i get my fingers to do that help
well 9/09/09 would be the perfect time to hang out on route 66 arrhaarr but i guess if you sell your soul you forfeit your birthright to become a God boooo
who needs route 66 when you got Doug marks Medal Methods and angilos speed kills DVDs my fingers are getting stronger i hope buy next year i can be like paul gilbert wooo wooo ya dig
