Paul Gilbert 3 String arpeggios

From the December issue of Guitar One, Paul explains his crazy idea to play an E minor arpeggio in 3 octaves, eventually leading to his idea to retune the 2nd neck on his double-neck.

Enjoy.

Paul Gilbert mocks your puny 6 string sweep arpeggios.

I've seen him play that lick on a seven string on which he tuned the top three strings in octaves. (This is basically what he did when he re-tuned in the video) He then left the bottom four strings in their normal tuning to play the rest of the song. So I think that he just put that 3 string octave tuning on its own neck (without the other strings) and kept a regular tuning on the bottom neck. (This way he can play the arpeggio without having to string skip too.)
