    The secret to being as good as Paul Gilbert is just two simple things:
    1) Having every song ever written playing simultaneously in your head and being able to pick out the part you want and instantly transcribe it to guitar.
    2) Level 99 happiness and enthusiasm.
    Easy peasy.

    • @TonyTheBassPlayer1
      @TonyTheBassPlayer1 4 роки тому +11

      Straight up fact; Why Paul is as good as he is, is directly because of the support he got from his parents. His father built his amps and guitars, his name is George. George built a lot of amps for local guys. I have one. His Dad took him to the Randy Rhodes seminar at a local guitar shop, 2 months before he died. Ozzy heard about him, I assume through Randy. George also had sent a cassette of Paul to Mike Varney the year before and Mike called him Randy Rhodes Jr. Ozzy got Pauls contact info from Mike and called the Gilbert residence, saying he wanted to hire Paul when he was 16 and luckily George said absolutely not he's too young. And that probably saved Paul's career and maybe his life, LOL. Paul was so mad about that but his Dad sent him out to that school instead and well, the rest is history. But his parents were the reason he became what he is.

    Paul Gilbert is magical. He's so insanely skilled yet humble and there's a child-like passion to him when he talks about music.
    He's also amazingly articulate with what he wants to convey in his teachings and his playing. He's got a bluesman's soul, a popstar's heart and the skill of a virtuoso. He's the 80s equivalent of John Mayer with his unabashed love of pop music offset with monster guitar chops.

      You should watch this video of a guitar battle with Marty Friedman called something like A-Z Heavy Metal and it’s basically a game where they pick a letter of the alphabet and have to play a riff of a band that starts with that letter (i. e. T = Toto = Africa). It’s so much fun to see how fast they come out with the riff.

      I once had the immense pleasure of meeting Paul Gilbert plus Eric Martin, Billy Sheehan, and Pat Torpey after a Mr Big gig at Cambridge Corn Exchange many moons ago. We were heading back to the car park after having a post gig kebab and they were just sitting outside the venue. We got talking and I have to say they were four very normal, self effacing guys. They were far more interested in the five of us than talking about themselves. As you say warm, energetic and very enthusiastic and not an iota of arrogance from any of them. It was a one of those Wayne's World 2 we're not worthy" moments and 20 minutes of my life that I will never forget.

    Love how he plays every song he uses as an example. No idea how one man can know so many songs ready to recall at any given moment. Almost as incredible as his playing

    Hey, I'm 56 and I always was a music disciple. I remember stomping all over the place to the sound of music when I was only two. My first living memory is me sort of sleeping in my crib ( couple of months I guess ) listening to the music playing in the room I was in, alone. For a long time now, many people look at me funny for still loving all kinds of music so much, as if that phase should precisely have been over for a while when in fact, it never was a phase, at least not for me. I Watch and listen to people like Paul here and I understand I'm not a lone freak. This guy is as happy talking and playing music as a kid left alone in a closed candy store. I love the man ! It is such a treat to listen to his stories and see the sparkles in his eyes.. Thank God for music !! Bless you Paul.

    I am a 34 year old guitarist and singer who more enjoys metal music and newer stuff. I am also a carpenter and the guy I work with is a 57 year old guitarist who enjoys everything from classic rock to old blues and jazz fusion. We both listen to Paul Gilbert at least several times a week, from album beginning to end. We love it. Paul is up on that list of untouchable guitarists who will always be cutting edge. Lucky you Capt. for getting to sit with the man himself.

    31:28 That story about "being bad at something" hit really close to home.
    Up to 6th grade I basically had straigt A's in all subjects, my worst subject being sport where I had like a B minus, so when we got to pick a new subject in 7th grade I choose some science based class since I was really into that (and still am), but my main class teacher told my parents that I had to get into a class that was really really hard for me because I was so used to sailing through school without ever havint to learn much for tests.
    So they enrolled me into latin-class and that's where I received my first ever D and I was devestated and momentarily didn't want to go to school any longer, but it taught me a very valuable lesson in the long run.

    “Studying with the teacher” such an important statement that Paul said. Playing guitar and learning how to be better can be done while playing with other people. Seems like common sense, but it’s becoming a lost art-form. And it’s proven true in the next segment when Paul shows CPT how to strum up and down aggressively! 👏 such a good episode!
