      His hair is like that because he's balding and he thinks this hairstyle hides it. Dude needs to accept that nobody's gonna judge his bald head.

    • @frankjager1647

      I honestly think Paul has emotional or depression issues. He catches a lot of shit from the internet too, and that can't help matters. I have a buddy who literally has hair just like that, and it's because he can't be bothered to care about almost anything due to his mental problems.

    This was an amazing video...The questions asked by Paul were very practical and JP gave the perfect answers to them..Not too long not too short... Wonderful insight into how he constructs riffs and how the whole band works together...
    One thing I would like to point out is from 12:35 he tells you why he used Alternate picking because after 16 notes you end up on a downstroke again...Not many virtuoso guitarists can Breakdown what they are doing and explain it to us like that...I mean if you asked Yngwie the same thing he would rip through the riff but he wouldn't be able to explain it to you.. Nothing against Yngwie but JP is one of the very few guitarists who has a wonderful blend of natural talent and intellectual ability which really helps many guitarists like me who are learning in a practical way..I learn something from every JP lesson
