I have always loved your song choices..!! Your song selections are a sort of niche(?) stepping out from the typical ones. Just a side story though, Mr. Big was very popular in Japan especially back in 80~90’s and I went to their first concert in Osaka(home of Loudness..) and saw a good number of local “pro-guitar shredder guys” come to see Paul… ( I remember he made a mistake during his solo time and he had a face “oh shxxxxt..!”. 😉 ) After he left Mr. Big (then Richie took his position), he lived in Japan for a while and joined some of the local pro. bands who play Japanese pop songs on TV afternoon talk shows. I remember an article Paul saying, it was eye opening experience and learned a lot from them. (perhaps not shredding through… 😉 ) I think composing a song like this distinguishes Paul from other shredders… He is a good rock composer, too..
This picking pattern is so stupidly difficult, it's hilarious that it's not a shredding lick at 240bpm. Back in the '90's they used to play this song a lot faster live and there's even an acoustic version. Watching him destroy that loop over a 5 minute song is astounding. BTW the picking Paul used is even more confusing that what you did. He played it "U, D, U, U, D, U, D, U" I believe. It's not strictly alternate, but it's very "Paul Gilbert" with his early guitar experience of playing only upstrokes 🤣 6:03 just got to this part of the video :D
How do you record your guitar that sound so good? Do you have to sync the video and audio after youre done recording with your guitar?. Is your cam connected to your audio interface?
I do it a little differently depending on the tune. My guitar goes into my Kemper which plugs into my audio interface. I sync the camera audio with what I record in logic when I’m editing the videos.

Thanks for sharing, interesting story! Paul is amazing, as is Ritchie.
Damn, this picking pattern, to get it right for more than 1 compass 😥. Thanks for the lesson!
