Looks like Zorg from Fifth Element with Harry Carrey's glasses. And yes im going to unfairly pick on his looks because I cannnot fairly pick on his playing...
There's something about starting a fast picked run with legato that lets your brain get synced up to the tempo before starting up the pick motion. Yngwie does this a lot too.
Paul is one of the nicest guys I ever met. Once filmed an interview with him outside the Ibanez Festival in Germany. He was so down to earth and fully immersed in what he was doing. Such a great soul of music.
He really is. I met him while he taught at GIT when a friend was going there and he landed me his dubbing deck and a bag of demo tapes from a bunch of bands he had been.
@@nfmg2265 Who's exactly the opposite of clean shredding technique and synchronization, LOL. Of course it's sort of an hyperbole but Shawn Lane was quite sloppy and not in Paul's league as a shredder. Amazing musician, writer and player though, no doubt.
One of the most underrated tools is palm muted legato. Even if it’s only slightly palm muted, it still has enough percussive attack to trick the listener’s brain into thinking there’s some picking happening.
Proof that He is HIM. This guy, he's like the leo messi of guitar. Shows up at G3, smoother technique than Petrucci. Hangs with Mr. Big, living that rockstar dream. Then he goes all out into underrated metal stuff with RacerX and Later on, writes these killer pop and hopeless romantic shred tracks about love, but with these mind-blowing solos. What a random legend. He is HIM, has always been
@@hon8177 well, yes, that’s a whole different thing. The best guitarist, in my opinion are instantly recognizable and skillful. My top guitarist are Krantz, Scofield and Beck, in no order, but followed by Frank, Jerry and Jimi. I can’t listen to these technical guys- at all. Watching them perform is another story. These guys inspire me to play and strive to better.
@@hon8177Asato is like a more polished John Mayer(guitarwise) ,you acan hear a lot of Larry Carlton in Mancuso's style and Guthrie is Guthrie... So they all have feel imo just different from what you are used to maybe 😁
Not picking the last 2 descending notes on the higher string allows Paul to avoid the dreaded "inside picking" scenario when crossing strings and start with a downstroke on the lower string. Nonetheless, it still achieves a very unique sound that isn't purely mechanical.
GOAT of guitar yes, but under appreciated? PG is rightfully revered and recognized by the guitar's community as one of the very best ever, so i don't see how he may be underrated.
Paul is the GOAT. I love many guitarists. But he was the first I saw as a massive inspiration. Someone who believes in the craft, makes it part of him, and is so kind, and humble (mostly) lol. I don't think he's showing off for the sake of it.
My band did shows with Racer X back in the 80s and they were incredible to watch. I heard rumors about Paul Gilbert and the power drill and sure enough.
First time I heard racer x was around 1990 when my brother was going wheels up to GIT. Then I got to meet the man while visiting, met Billy Sheahan (my idol) and many others!
Paul Gilbert has been very very cool since the 80's!! He recorded a solo for Daryl Mansfield called "AFTER THE STORM". I had a small studio in the 80's and was talking to Mansfield on the radio and inquired about the session with Paul Gilbert. Mansfield's comments were hilarious!! Gilbert shows up to the session, plugs in and is standing in the booth waiting to start playing. Mansfield got on the talk back and said " he man you need to warm up or anything??? Gilbert shakes his head no and says... Na, I'm good lol They start the play back a Gilbert does what Gilbert does and took a little journey to SHRED-CITY!!! LOL Mansfield's comment was friggin hilarious!!! He says... The CAT was all over it right out of the case man!!? Classic 80's , Flashback. If you have never heard the Daryle Mansfield song " after the storm"??? It's some of Paul Gilbert's best improved shredding!!!!
Total complete sting control is how I feel about that. And vital and valuable link between rhythm and the sound. And great thing about it is, you got to be dedicated and about that life to master the technique period
I remember when I started playing in the 90s, I bought a Paul Gilbert course with a Video CD for PC, and the .avi encoding was so horrible and nasty, the video frames couldn't keep up with his fingers. The faster he played the licks, the more his fingers turned into a blurry mush on my screen. Very helpful, and especially encouraging to a beginner, hehe. ;)
I remember he posted a version of this lick in an advertisement for MIT/GIT in the 80s. He said to practice it till your pick sounds like a popsicle stick in bicycle spokes. I did.
Paul was born with shredder syndrome. It’s incurable and we are grateful.
Pablo Gilberto..
The Man..
Salute to u Sir
Pablito Gilbertus is amazing lml
Paulus Gilbertus 🏛️
Gilbertico Pavlov
Intense Rock..
Go down to Mexico
Gimme an E 🎉@@undertheglassmoon2239
Rick loves his guests. He really enjoys doing these interviews. You’re the best, Rick!
His laugh at the end is all that's needed! 😂
Gilbert is the only guy who can show off and not sound like he's showing off.
He just absolutely loves making music.
@@galenmarek8287
The only other player who smiled as much as Paul was Eddie.
Yessss!
He isn't showing off as much as he's playing at his usual level of technique.
@@AAAA-lt9hq Paul makes everything look effortless. He's amazing.
I love his personality, just a friendly guy
a gem
I miss Racer X.
The crazy/cool uncle we all wish we had!
I want a t-shirt with Paul's face and a quote under it that says, "Do something scaley today!"
And in the back it says "get tricky with the g string"
*Boils kettle*
Bro! You need to reach out to him. That's money lol
I liked "horribly unpicked."
I would wear it
When you shred so long you become the benevolent mayor of shred
I love this guy so much.
I didn't know Gary Oldman played guitar this well 😁
When he started talking, he reminded me for a second of Will Ferrell doing his Harry Caray impression. 🤣🤣
😂😂
You mean Dana Carvey😂
I love him in that new show: Fast Horses.
Looks like Zorg from Fifth Element with Harry Carrey's glasses.
And yes im going to unfairly pick on his looks because I cannnot fairly pick on his playing...
There's something about starting a fast picked run with legato that lets your brain get synced up to the tempo before starting up the pick motion. Yngwie does this a lot too.
Yes, my thoughts too.
I love how Buckethead uses it. Lightning.
Such a likeable person

@@BradEnquist that‘s super rad!
One of my top favorite shredders of all time! His picking and hand synchronization are second to none, IMHO!🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸😀😎🔥
SHAWN LANE !!!!!!!!!!!! THE BEST

I dont know I would say guthrie maintains a lot of musicality despite speed and technicality... gilbert and mancuso lack that in my personal opinion

@@zmlhezmlhe4843Yeah they're all good and different, thankfully. But when it comes to shred Paul is still the king of them all.
I love the "On the loose" solo...it's pure fire. He's definitely my favorite.
Paul the Great 🤘🎸🤘
I was so naive to thought I might be able to learn something from this short lol
The Sheldon Cooper of guitar!
If I'm not mistaken he taught Buckethead, both master and disciple are technically astute.
Shawn Lane

Yep that annoying scenario... Not sure how Petrucci deals with it
bullshit there is no any inside picking if played all notes picked. do you even have a guitar man??
@@anothernpc8246 I do but I'm willing to ship it to you so you can start learning guitar 🙂
He is not picking all the notes as he says in the video @anothernpc8246
under appreciated goat of guitar.
Compared to who?
What a statement
GOAT of guitar yes, but under appreciated? PG is rightfully revered and recognized by the guitar's community as one of the very best ever, so i don't see how he may be underrated.
Mindless noodling. Guthrie Govan is the GOAT
under appreciated? He's known as probably the best alternate picker to ever play a guitar.
Paul is the GOAT. I love many guitarists. But he was the first I saw as a massive inspiration. Someone who believes in the craft, makes it part of him, and is so kind, and humble (mostly) lol. I don't think he's showing off for the sake of it.

Beast
That rick laugh when some of his guests play something is just epic hehehe
I’m not a guitarist but that’s genuinely a really really clever approach to playing so quick. No wonder he can play as fast as he does.
Serius Black shredding
Mr. Big. Green tinted-sixties mind. Love this guy one of my guitar heroes.
Crazy right hand
I didn't know Gary Oldman was so good at guitar. Damn. 🤯
Really interesting. I can sling blues licks but this style has eluded me...awesome to see the joy he gets from it at the end
fast isn't always music but the skill is keen
So pumped I finally got to see Paul Gilbert play live with Mr Big in Roseville. Incredible show- They were so good!
One of my top-3
His personality is infectious.
That little Paul Gilbert smile.
Idk guys, but when Gilberto says "pick pick pick pick" sounds so cool and funny 😅
First time I heard racer x was around 1990 when my brother was going wheels up to GIT. Then I got to meet the man while visiting, met Billy Sheahan (my idol) and many others!
He's just crazy talented! 🎶 🎸
Two guys who love the guitar. It's a joy to watch!
Pick Pick Pick Pick Pick Pick Pick Pick all the way
Such a great dude too!
This is how I do it too. I feel validated!
Dude is still THE MAN!!!
Paul is so down to earth and so honest and cool. He's also very witty and enjoyable always
Effortless playing. So freaking effortless.
Love this guy. Damn, that sounded amazing!
One of the best on the plane
Love that man's attitude. Paul rocks! 🔥🔥🔥
Arguably the best hands ever. I have been fortunate enough to be in such a setting, and the Man is an absolute buzz saw. Even unamplified.
The true maestro of face melt
The GOAT
Perfect hand synchronization.
Absolute tactician
Beautiful my man, you really shred that keyboard and those modulations are fantastic such moments of grace in every piece you play !!

I’ve always thought what Paul stands out with is how clean his shredding is. Insane man.
Grande Pablo Gilberto!
Paul is a fucking machine
Genius
Love this guy
Amazing player!!!
This guy doesn't get old man!
I wish i could play that effortlessly. Paul is the man.
This was an amazing interview. Love PG
Wow, as someone who does not shred, that explained a whole hell of a lot about his sound.
The man , the myth , the legend
Paul Gilbert: Like that.
His guitar is part of the winnie the pooh collection.
Love me some Winnie the Pooh.
So so clean........
He's a real genius. LOVE his music with MR. Big and own projects. Gigs so brutal!!!!
Paul is just a fun player to listen to and watch..love ya dude👊
This man dusts every guitar player to ever touch one.
When Rick laughs you know he was impressed.
paul, i fn love u holy jesus christ
I love Paul Gilbert so much
This dude sure can play, and puts most of all the others to shame.
'there's one little thing'
....Oh Paul you are a gem
I love Paul so much.
Paul is the best!
So clean
Man, this guy has always amazed me!! Even with his pentatonic scales hes crazy!!
Total complete sting control is how I feel about that. And vital and valuable link between rhythm and the sound. And great thing about it is, you got to be dedicated and about that life to master the technique period

Amazing finger spread
Terrific!!
Have my tickets, he is my favorite guitar player.
Yeah Paul Gilbert is just a machine. I think somebody said it perfectly underneath here in the comments he was just born to shred. RLTW 3/75
Rick's laugh says it all
“There’s one little thing” 🤯
Paul is the coolest guy in the world

That guitar is gorgeous
