@@MikaTarkela yeah I have PGM90TH. I need to clean it up a bit, has sticky bits on from the midi system. Its well played and loved, not as clean as this one.
@@iijj they were a very limited run. I bought it from a friend of mine. He bought it new in his home country of Japan. You just have to look for them 2nd hand now. eBay, Reverb etc
Man... Paul felt so old in this video... Don't mean it in a mean way, I remember finding him and listing to his music since I was 12, and damn what a great teacher, musician and inspiration to keep playing...
a while ago, i purchased a PGM301 that was signed by him, but back then i didnt know who he was so i erased it with acetone, i just loved the guitar paint and because my idol ( Jari Meanppa ) was using one stage back then God i regret that, i hope one day i'll able to meet him Paul and get that signature back haha
PG time and time again proves what a class act he is, amazing to see the variety of different musician helping Jason Becker out! Herman the man for putting all this together!
What a great / generous and kind person. Thank you Paul. Wish I had the Benjamin’s to buy this guitar and help Jason Becker, a legend that continues To inspire whether your a guitar player or not
That little song at the end really hits the sweet spot. Really great cause. And really appreciating Herman Li for what he does and the person he is. New fan here.
It's incredible. Paul is always such a whirlwind of a guy, he loves what he does for sure. Herman I'd love to see you do some jams and interview w/ Reb Beach too... Another incredible shredder from a Pittsburg suburb in Pennsylvania.
Ibby PGM was the one which started my liking of reverse headstock superstrat. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how I view my story, my father didn't know about ibby and bought me a strat. I kept my dream of owning reverse headstock guitar and eventually I forgot about it . One day I saw a guitarist using reverse headstock guitar on youtube. I immediately remembered my dream guitar. That guitarist was Kirk Hammett. Long story short, I bought ESP M-II instead of PGM.
Paul is an awesome player and person. One of the greats!😊 thanks Herman for featuring him.👍 Could you please feature Marty Friedman or this might sound impossible, the shred king himself Yngwie Malmsteen.🤘
Those string skiping are really scary! you guys are legends to me not only for being extraordinary musicians but also for being extraordinary human beings Greetings! from México
If I had the money I'd buy all of the guitars to support Jason, sadly out of my price range. I hope they go to a great home & are well looked after & that the money raised for Jason is enough to help him out. Herman & everyone ye are awesome helping him out 😉
Damn love the guy and it's a really good things, for him I live with multiple sclerosis and I'm glad living in Canada with the free health care we have because the cost it's a bummer
So I have a rare guitar here for auction. You know what I'll throw in this pedal too. Sorry about the cat hair on the pedal. You know what I'll throw in the cat too. So it's a pretty good package and it's for a good cause.
I love paul Gilbert such a great person and great guitar player. Jason Becker is a big influence too me to , because I have snapping scapula syndrome and spinal degeneration along with a herniated disk but no matter how much pain I'm in or how depressed I am because I've had a very hard life. I just think about his hard life , how he still smiles and just keeps pushing forward more matter what. I'd love to have jason Becker number guitar or that Paul Gilbert guitar or that Pedal shit. I really want the one paul Gilbert pedal by jhs with the shoe on it lol. I have a hardtail Ibanez with DiMarzio pickups already and I have a charvel pro San dimas with a recessed floyd rose. I like when Eddie van Halen went to see Jason Becker and was like wow u used a recessed bridge lol evh just melted that fretboard at Jason's house I'm sure jason was loving it but I'm sure it warmed Eddie's heart as well. Other than paul Gilbert a guy I would of loved to take lessons from would of been Jason Becker. He is such a cool person who was one of the best to ever do it and it is amazing that he still writes Amazing song but I can only imagine the greatness he would of played if not for als... because I know he would come up with some cool riff or a crazy technique or something if he was actually playing. I'm sure it would have a different effect in his own hands. Besides he could of layed down so much more compositions because the complex stuff he does has to be a mfer to write with only his eyes. Even if he wrote a 3 chord country song that way itd still be a miracle. I wish I wasn't so poor and hurting for money right now. If u never seen Jason Becker play go water him play yngwie malmsteen black star at Jason's high school when he was a teenager...there was no ceiling on his potential.
i love that Herman Li found his niche in streaming/being a youtuber, on top of being a legendary guitarist :) you should colab with T-Pain, another musical legend who is also a streamer!
@@yukari1897 sometimes it's good to take a break from playing and then magically, when you pick it up again you play like a god. I know it because it worked for me
Jazz is all about improve. So there's a good place to start. Check out some good jazz guitar players like Joe Pass. Other than that, as for just playing, practice over all types of progression at a variety of tempos. What I typically do is begin improvising by playing over a progression rather slowly. The point is to find the obvious chord tones, meaning the notes of the arpeggios of the diatonic chords. Then I'll start adding in other notes like maybe then 7th an 9th. Just doing that at slow speeds allows you to develop a real awareness of what the music you're soloing over is doing. An in itself makes more melodic playing that goes with the music. After that, then I focus on playing more complicated licks and patterns. That's where you add in notes that are often referred to as "passing tones". A great basic example of what I'd call a passing tone is the flat 5. AKA, the "blue note" or simply a minor pentatonic scale with a flat 5. It's just a note that you don't generally stay on long, hence "passing tone". Another great way to come up with new phrases is something Paul recommends often. Think about it rhythmically first. Then come up with phrases that follow that rhythmic structure. Lastely, remember to utilize all kinds of articulation. Bends, slides, vibrato etc. For instance, if there's a note you're going to hold out for any considerable length of time, try sliding into it leading into some vibrato. Or even bend into it gradually maybe from a lower note leading to some vibrato. Use any trick in your arsenal. I know I went on a bit of a rant but that's how I go about improvising. Many well versed players would likely agree that's all good information. However, I will add that when soloing over more riff style songs, it's a little different than soloing over chord progressions. Generally similar to what I said, but often less melodic. But same concept applies. There's going to be notes that you don't want to bring much attention to. Then there will be notes that are fine. Alot of typical riffs have something like a pedal tone. Often the root which is why you end up with some less melodic soloing. Anyway, I know I'm not Paul or Herman, but I hope something I said helps you. An if you have any questions feel free to ask. I used to teach guitar just for the record. Lol. 😜
Hay Herman Li God always acompany you and your band you have stright to fight against Jason Becker AOS/ALS and there is God bless in Dragonforce to cure Jason Becker's deseas. Love Dragonforce

Paul is another level of soul flowing through his instrument.
Paul should make full version of this short song cause it's sounds intresting
I totally agree!
I cracked a smile when he started string skipping. I'll always love the shredder PG.
a while ago, i purchased a PGM301 that was signed by him, but back then i didnt know who he was so i erased it with acetone, i just loved the guitar paint and because my idol ( Jari Meanppa ) was using one stage back then
God i regret that, i hope one day i'll able to meet him Paul and get that signature back haha
He is the most kind and down to earth, coolest teacher you can have, rock n roll ! Paul signed my PGM 301 in 2018, best guitar I have tbh.
PG time and time again proves what a class act he is, amazing to see the variety of different musician helping Jason Becker out! Herman the man for putting all this together!

Godbless u paul and herman... Godbless you too Jason..
Paul is such a ham! What a nice guy!
Great player, great man, love that pedal!
Wow I didn't know PG uses 8's, that's crazy.
I think he gradually changed to lighter gauges around 10 yrs ago, 10s, 9s then now 8s
Yeah, that's quite thin
It’s how he bends his strings so crazily
soooo thin. Explains some with his tone
Ever heard of srv? He did discusting bends using big fat strings some say he played up to 26's
Awesome gesture by Paul. Is there a youtube upload of Paul and you from Twitch? My two favorite guitarists and I haven't seen it...
Nice..!!..JB is the man..
Most favorite PGM!
