Paul is a true guitar geek. He was born to do a rig rundown.
Only Gilbert...guitarist discussing differences between vintage and new Makita drills :D I love this guy.
And ironically his preferred drill (from at latest the early 90s) was the really cheap version with the single speed and no break. Guys would try to do car audio work with me and have these things and sheer off screw slots and stuff. Funny. And yes... vintage!
I prefer the vintage makita myself lol!!!
Super cool guy, met him in 1990, absolutely no ego at all and mad skills.
Miss you buddy. RIP... Will never forget you.
I'm so sorry for your loss. At least he got to meet one of the greats before his time. Again, sorry
Much respect for Paul as well as all of the guitarists that do the rundowns themselves, rather than getting their techs to do it.
paul loves to talk about his gear and he's a true gearhead
Possibly the nicest gentleman in rock and roll
Dave Bertoletti yes!
I think Grohl might take that place!
There are so many things to love about Paul. He never seems to be stressed or having a bad day. Also his pinky is as long as my index finger, wtf.
Hey! Where did you get this number in your nickname? :P And I'm Paul Gilbert's style of playing fan and yeah, I love this guy too as a human.
I really want to have a beer with mr Gilbert and mr Govan!
+sirspikey Same here! Both knowledgeable and really cool.
Govan might have the chops but Gilbert just has the magic I can't explain it. He would be a nightmare to improvise against lol
I did couples of weeks ago, in fact it was a great moment because not only jamming with such a great guitar player like him is a gift, but we've really had a good time jamming, with a smile on each one's face, I think he's really a kind person, more than the great shred master we all know.
@@chrisa586 Gilbert is just as impressed by sweet chunky pentatonic licks as he is speed, though. Possibly more so. It would probably be a fun time.
PAUL actually demos his own gear and doesn't leave it to his busy guitar technician. Cool guy forever
Paul, one of the most amazing human in our planet. His picking speaks. His tone screams. Still its sweet enough to listen whole day without getting bored. True artist, true talent.
"in a humbucker guitar I never really used the tone control" ... we finally got an answer to his insane trebley tone lmao. Gotta love this guy
Paul Gilbert is such a nice guy.
Paul Gilbert is the best. Him and Slash both score high on the sanity chart. It's such a relief to hear him explain stuff.
I've never really been into Paul's music but he seems like a really good guy and definitely has great hands.
I feel the same way man. He just seems like the best dude ever?
i like how he actually demonstrates each sound. every other rig rundown ive seen, the dudes just talk and talk about technical bullshit and dont actually show you how it sounds. also, dude is a class act.
I love how Paul is constantly trying different things. I have just begun to get my feet wet in the world of stomp boxes and various effects after years of firmly being a "one guitar, one amp" kind of guy. Experimenting with all sorts of guitar pedals has really revived my love for the instrument.
Every time I see Gilbert interviewed he seems like such a nice guy.
Totally, he seems like he hasn't started to hate his job or the fans like some musicians have.
Paul is a great guy. We went to school together at MI in Hollywood, played together a few times. I hosted his visits and translated for him a few times here in Osaka. A massive talent - but totally nice guy.
"it does touch you in the way that other guitars don't" hahah what a genius!
5:03 when Paul Gilbert casually says "My hearing is going"...
that hit hard :(
Having a separate lead out for the singer is awesome. The Mr. Big members seem to really respect each other.
that guy is so cool, I don’t know if I prefer his rig rundown or satch’s both these guys know their thing and are so inspiring, love them
Just watched Steve vai, yngwie, petrucci, etc. and Paul's rig is so off the cuff and simple and his personality is so humble and cool. It reminds me why I like him so much lol
I love these videos when the actual artist is talking about their gear, but I love it even more when they actually demo it. Paul is such an awesome guy.
Class act. Most of these interviews are done with the guitarists tech. Paul is an outstanding individual and it's nice to see him take the time for those who are truly interested.
Paul Gilbert seems like a really cool guy, and to be honest I'd love to jam with or even get a guitar lesson from him, learn some Mr. Big and other epic tricks by him
Never listened to his music but I liked the way he played a few licks to demonstrate the pedals. If only they would all do that.
I thought exactly the same. It's simply the best way to demonstrate a pedal ^^
Man, hanging out with Paul must be like hanging out with an amazingly talented and guitar-crazy best friend!!
I was at a Music store sometime ago and i was playing this riff and shredding a lil bit and paul walked in and was listening and i looked up and stopped playing and he said no dont stop that sounded great..and i was said oh i was just noodling and he said thats some serious noodling and i said well i learned it from you and he said really and i said yeah man i was a big fan and learned alot of your licks from your video's and thats how i built some technique up. he was just a down to earth guy!
Yes, I am totally convinced that this indeed did happen.
coolguy4sho unfair!
Paul such a humble virtuoso.. no hesitation to share and always play from hearts ❤️.. 🤘
"When you're a guitar player, you must tweak!" Lol Love it!
It's so inspiring to see super-human musicians that have equal amounts of humanity. Thank you Paul Gilbert!
One of the best guitar related videos on youtube. thank you.
He's the most down to earth guy ever. His music is a great inspiration and he's a perfect example for every musician.
I got to see him [and meet him] at Brents Music Store in Ft Myers Fl-He was 27 then-and after each song-he ask-Is That cool-He was very humble-knowing that there was a room full of Guitar Players-but only one like him-He said that he doesn*t use drugs-and never had-I loved that Clinic-he signed-photos with an Ibanez and Laney Stack!
Paul's personality is just fantastic! He seems like a such a genuinely nice guy with real passion for music. :)
AWESOME. Paul just seems like an awesome dude and the rig is incredible!
He seems so down to earth. I remember watching his guitar lessons on VHS and he explains things so easily
Nobody cooler than Paul Gilbert
This is perhaps the best rig rundown. This guy is something!
I love that man so much, Loves to explain and interact!!!
Thanks again Premier Guitar!!
He such a cool guy and it's so much more personal when he shows it himself and not some random guitar tech.
Besides being an amazing guitarist Paul is indeed a great person, very humble, just make me respect him and admire him more. Paul you Rock!!
awesome rundown the best I've seen so far...Paul is soooo accomodating
@pinkangus We edited together clips from Keith Howland of Chicago demoing an Egnater Tourmaster 4100 at the 2008 NAMM Show. You can watch the video and hear bits and pieces of Mr. Howland's playing that appears in PG's intro.
Thanks a lot for watching the videos.

The best thing about Paul Gilbert besides him being a guitar virtuoso is his humbleness and politeness. He's a great human being, we need more people like him.
his lead playing is so clean
Someone give this man a latenight show!! haha
I've never met Paul (thou I wish too) and from the countless videos of him you can tell he's an honest straight up easy guy without any hint of arrogance.
Great magician on the guitar too.
Any Guitar mag, channel, whatever, will always get attention when offering PAUL GILBERT CONTENT. Thank You Premiere Guitar!
finally, after years of searching for Paul's rig rundown!!!
"John Denver clean" lmao. Paul is hilarious.
It's nice too see someone actually demonstrate their gear by PLAYING. Makes the rundown more complete. Pauls the man.
i love paul gilbert. you can tell that every second he doesn't spend playing guitar is a second he considers wasted. that's true love :)
Awesome video, great interview.
great guitarist, great man! great kind of person!
The notes go right into your heart!
just seen this,the bit at the end of the interview, where he holds the drill in a menacing way, brill
Love the way the camera guy focuses on the pedal board the entire time Paul is shredding.
May he stay on earth for a loooooooooooooooong time. Lovely man and effin evil good player.
I keep watching this video over and over again. This gut is soooo f***** smooth. Premier Guitar, what about Protest The Hero rig rundown?
Of all the Rig Rundown videos, this is the one I could most see myself using.
Paul Gilbert is one of the most humble guy I've seen so far in all these rig tour kinda video
best rig run down, i love when the player gets into it and doesn't just want to run off and say yeah i got a fuzz and a wah, and some marshalls
I love that fireman. I played one the other day and the neck profile is awesome.
Saw Paul with Mr Big in '93 in a smallish club in OKC, was very much worth it. Sheehan was beating his depth charge simulator and Paul was on top of his game in front of his wall of Marshalls. Nice to see the tech behind what I knew was less than simple.
the melody of his speech is so positive
This guy has always been cool ! I like it when they demo there own grear
PG on PG - fantastic!
Thanks for posting this.... it seems to me to be a great insight into Paul Gilbert's professional life!!
Cheers!!
Gilbert has got to be one of the nicest dudes to hang with. I have gotten so much out of his columns. What a talent!
Great interview of a great guy.
HELL YEAH!!!!! i was waiting for this day!!!!
I've always liked the fact Paul has a simple set up, he doesn't seem to be fussy about effects and amps, he just lets his fingers do the talking!
My favourite guitarist, and one of my favourite people on this planet. I totally love Paul Gilbert.
I didn't even know Mr. Big was still a band.I remember hearing them for the first time way back in the early 90's on Letterman I think,and the next day I went out and bought their CD,had a train wreck on the cover.Going to have to check out some of their latest stuff now.
This guy is making my day
I never forget the first time i meet paul gilbert, he's an awesome dude man ~
pg is talking to pg! but which pg is which?
paul gilbert rock!!!very generous n humble guitarist i ever met
PG is such a chill dude
Saw PG at the very first time in 2000, when he did Asian Clinic Tour at The Hard Rock Cafe Jakarta, I was 17, when I saw him, my jaw like dropped D, "Man, he is 6,4 tall 194cm like office tower walking around the cafe😂, and he was super fun Rock Star, humorist down to earth kinda guy!! That Pinky 7 strings Ibanez was so cool!!
Really happy to see that Paul himself is participating in this interview, not his tech (like most other players)
I went to see him at a Guitar Clinic Here at Brent*s Music store in the late 80*s-Really down to Earth and helpful!!!
What a lovely guy Mr PG is!!
Paul is one of the few muscians who is open about their hearing loss. Believe me those headphones are not just for show! I have tenitus (ringing in the ears) from not using protection in the construction industry. Trust me protect your hearing!
Rig Rundowns with the equipment plugged in are the best. It can be the tech or the artist. Irregardless, hearing the gear is better than just talking about the gear. And Mr Gilbert is one of the more articulate artists to speak with.
nice and simple yet overloaded with talent
i love how paul gilbert is, so fuckin down to earth and is fun and just loves to show other people wat he does!!!
I like that he's talking about his Vintage/Modern marshalls settings for bass that are not being used and his little 2061x is plugged straight in to the cabs.
I always find myself having much more respect for the artists that actually go through and personally talk about their gear in these videos, not just having the road crew do it. I mean I know not every musician is a gear head but it just makes them that much more personable and appealing.
his guitar tone is AMAZING...
Paul is The Man. Cool guy and a stellar, world-class player.
@rockstarnyancess I had the pleasure of meeting him, late 90's, He was as un-rockstar as you can get and easy to have a conversation with.
Awesome. Paul Gilbert is great. Great attitude and sense of humor. Plus he can waaaiillll
What a insane guitarist...Scary good!
i love that chorus, i want one.
I totally agree with Gilbert about pick thickness. I'm a shredder (among other things) and have ALWAYS stayed with plain old Fender mediums for the exact reason he said, there is so much more dynamic range that drops off when you go thicker.
It's totally true what he's saying about Dunlops, they totally don't get tore up when you pick slide with them. I have Purples - I think they're 1mm - on call specifically for the rare occasion I wanna pick slide
I play bass and guitar with .73s (yellow) tortex picks and they sound so much better than the paving slabs people tend to use. For bass, using a thin pick sounds like a cross between picking and slapping because of the pick release twang.
CorrosionMedia Good call. I'm a .73 Tortex user for bass. Rock on man!
I use fingers on bass for the most part, but when I do use picks on bass I just use 1 mm because those chubby Gibson picks piss me off. As for guitar it depends what I'm playing but for the most part it's 1 mm because I'm mainly a thrash/punk kinda guy.
Has Anybody ever wondered what amp is that in the beginning of Premier Guitar's videos? sounds very Marshall JTM45ish to me but could be anything..
Love Paul Gilbert! Always have. Always will!
Great guy, and player!
The pickup is close because the area pups and injectors have very low magnet pull and need to be close to the strings for max output. I don't have my injector that close but I run it closer than other pups. Have an old 90's USA peavey predator with injector neck area 67 injector bridge with CTS 500k pots no mid tone wired 50's style and it has to be my favorite all time most versatile strat sound ever. Hugely underrated pups. PG is a great dude.
