the big difference is that paul plays the solo in context...andy doesn't

[Mr5150]

No.. the big difference is Andy smokes Paul.

Gilbert (who is a major hero of mine) kinda chokes here; he typically plays with a lot more fire and flare than he does here - I think he's just intimidated by Timmons, who is really a monster player, but Gilbert is one of the best in the world. Just a weird moment. We all have 'em.

[Mr5150]

He's not intimidated, hes just got jet lag I presume. Just like Vai.

Theyre both great guitarists, but in my opinion Timmons' solo owned Gilbert's in every way possible...style, phrasing, tone, etc.

[realguitarist07]

It's funny how guitar players misuse the word "phrasing".

[chillmetal]

@Mr5150 Timmons has more of a variety in his playing. As in studies lots of jazz, plays blues, funk, classic rock, metal. This is why he stands out and Is my favorite guitar player of all time.

Same here, I'm a Paul Gilbert Fan too, but Andy smoked!

[brando18guitarplyr]

@1Love2Customs I am a huge fan of Paul, but i agree with you, and i also know Paul can play WAY better then he did here.

Hello everybody...i just wanna say that from a guitarplayer piont of view ANDY is the man who played like a demon...He destroyed both Steve and Paul that night...

Andy was the one playing with limitless passion and emotion,and Steve and Paul realised this and were kinda impressed by this to such an extend it influenced their playing quite a lot i feel..

Andy OWNED..big time folks,and i am a Vai freak talkin'...

[ChucklesMginty]

Why is everyone obsessed with who's better...? Music is an art, not a sport.

[AHMADF93]

okay. Now I know why I prefer Gilbert with short hair.

[chillmetal]

@TheLydianRocks Yes Actually they both do diminished its just subtitle its not the always repetitive yngwie dim runs. Listen to Groove or Die there are a few diminished runs in that one.

[TheLydianRocks]

@chillmetal lol linear speed picking, gilbert is better at speed picking period, they are both great but don't diminish what gilbert does by talking about what timmons incorporates, gilbert incorporates a lot too, classical scales, pizzicato, alt picking, true sweeping and general unnatural precision, although you could give the last 1 to timmons as well because he is sick at what he does!
