There are reasons why i or we love Paul gilbert.... 1. He is one of the most Humble and funny guitarist when it comes to communicate and sharing knowledge. 2. He has really evolved...he explored every genre from metal to blues and jazz...not just a shredder...but a musical shredder. 3. He appreciates other artists and stay far from competitive world. He believes in having fun and you can see everytime he plays it. 4. He is getting better and better with age like wine. His recent albums are so much versatile. 5. I cant even play 1% of what he plays but still love him coz he is really a positive and beautiful soul. And one of my fav musician of all time. Love from India.
I agree with you. One more thing that I would add to your list... I love Paul Gilbert because every time he picks up a guitar he is like a kid with a new toy. There is just so much joy and fun whenever he plays and that comes across every single time I see him play. That is what makes him special in comparison to some other musicians.
This album is good vibes all around. Paul continues to evolve in humble ways, very rarely overplays these days. He is a perfect example of someone who has nothing to prove anymore and has truly matured in his craft as a result. His playing is as free as ever. It's great.
I don't think anyone would complain if he 'overplayed' a little now and then. Viking Kong will forever be one of the best guitar masterpieces ever created.
@@AxiomApe Watch his video "Not to Meander". It is a pretty good example of him explaining a lot of his thought/writing process. Besides, it is a great song!
0:30 *Can you hear the NOTES SAYING :* *"I... Own... A... Building"* *...This guy's guitar is totally talking!* Love you Paul Gilbert, thanks for always being so inspirational and cool. Great song and great musicians helping out. :)
Dude we have an expression in Spanish for this, it is: "te mamaste". Literally, it means "you sucked yourself", but in our language it means that what you said/did was f*cking funny or mind-blowing in a good way. The point is that I'm still laughing about your comment. 🤣
Paul is one example that I can categorize as a complete guitar player. His technique is flawless, his ideas are beautiful and he knows that he must have fun. I'm never bored hearing him.
I got to see him in Denver last year. Most importantly my 10 and 14 year old got to see him. Was an amazing show I got to share with my boys. PRICELESS!
Hello Mr Gilbert. Don't know if you will ever read this but I wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to want to play guitar. When I heard RacerX "Street Lethal" I wanted to play. That album made me want to practice. Fast forward 35 or so years and you still inspire. Thanks mate.
I've been playing guitar, and bass guitar for 40 years. Paul is 1 of a hand full of players who are just so awesome I just wanna pile up all my gear and set it on fire.. how is he such a wizard?
These melodies and chord progressions give you a cheerful yet slightly remorseful vibe. Just like someone who owns a building reminiscing his whole life's hard work getting there. Love it.
OMG.. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL, PAUL! The melodies, the tone, the contrast of different modes and dynamic, the unpredictable yet somehow coherent melody and chord progression, the playing, the feel, the emotion.. wow.. just wow..
Paul's playing is developing. Love that slide work on this one. This is a group of amazing musicians and PG is the best possible leader they could have ^^
I am so inspired by this piece of music. It's been the ear worm in my head since last Thursday night seeing you play it live at Iridium in NYC. Told my dad to listen to it... he loves it too. Tremendous.
While I don't like this type of music, I absolutely love watching Paul play. He's a master of guitar and I can tell he loves what he's doing here. As an aspiring guitarist virtuoso, this is awesome to watch.
what a beautiful song. love seeing all these guys just jamming and PG just giving that guitar the most wonderful voice. wow, this whole album is incredible btw
"I own a building I own a building of my own Write my name on every brick With extensions on my -" Since Paul sang that in Bristol, I've not heard this song in the same way!
We are so lucky to have you Paul. Thank you for sharing your music. You are a bada$$ among men. There was a lot of feeling in this piece, but I can't quite say how it made me feel. That is what was so cool about it.
I love Paul's tone - so thick, and he doesn't overdo the effects. Every time I watch live videos of him jamming with other guitar players, the others always sound thin and fuzzy compared to him.
Thank you for Saint P gig in Russia 14/09,that's was awesome Paul! Looking forward to see you again with new albums and bright ideas!Be well my guitar hero!
Saw him for the first time ever last night. Jesus Christ. It’s one thing to watch on a computer, a completely other to feel and see him make it right in front of me.
This made me so happy I cried I've loved Paul Gilbert since I was a little boy and I enjoy his music to this day I am 44 now and introducing my daughter to his beautiful music and she likes it and that's pretty cool
You fucking rock paul! This recent stuff seems in a similar vein to silence followed by a deafening roar album, i love the variation of playing, it really comes through, like flying on a guitar through the dimension of music. Thanks!
Saw Paul in Detroit at the Token Lounge. The impossible has happened - Paul Gilbert has gotten better. The new album is great. He is also funny and entertaining. Truly in a league by himself, just the best, wow.
simply great! that´s why PG is one of my favorite guitar players and when I met him he was so simple as a person, so human that well He is a great human being and play wonderful!
Sweet Jesus, what the hell have I just watched..That was unbelievable. The whole band were bloody good, but Gilbert totaly OWNED that guitar. Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
this guy stays excited over the years, it always seems that young guitarist recording his first album, seeking new sonorities and always with the technique in the day, humble and happy .. Inspiration always!
Growing up listening to MR BIG , i am surprised, i never expected this composition would be an opposite of how Paul used to play( lightning speed pickup ,neo classical shred ) such a beautiful,melancholic piece, reminded me a bit of J-rock style music with a signature shredding from the Master himself.
Hello my inspiration !!! Probably you'll never read this or know me but, I owe so much to you in life. As I listen to this new masterpiece, I found myself in tears. So beautiful and astonishing each time you create something. Not just only as a guitarist but, as human being so humble and full of good vibes you spread. You're the best example anybody can look upto achieve the set of goals been dreamt of !!! 🇮🇳 #paulgilbert
My 3 year old daughter often asks me to put on I own a building. And when I put on this track she sings with it. I own a building and it feel so good to own a building and other bla bla. What ever she can come up with at this age. And I am not even native English speaker.
I'm not too sure about owning those two or who is better haha but those 2 certainly describe a big part of PG's playing. George Harrison + Yngwie Malmsteen.
Paul gilbert is probably one of the coolest people alive. Thanks for making such great music and giving off such positive vibes. Really wish i could meet you someday.

You nailed it! This is why I love Paul, too. A true inspiration.
YESSSSSS
Spoken like a true Paul Gilbert fan!
Yep. The only thing I hate about him is that his pinky is longer than my middle finger! LOL
I agree with you. One more thing that I would add to your list...
I love Paul Gilbert because every time he picks up a guitar he is like a kid with a new toy. There is just so much joy and fun whenever he plays and that comes across every single time I see him play. That is what makes him special in comparison to some other musicians.
Is it possible to ever get tired of watching this gift to humanity play guitar?
Truly, it is so wonderful to have people use the gift that God provided them with such beauty.... wonderful.
This album is good vibes all around. Paul continues to evolve in humble ways, very rarely overplays these days. He is a perfect example of someone who has nothing to prove anymore and has truly matured in his craft as a result. His playing is as free as ever. It's great.
Young people can't play slow. It takes age and lots of practice to get there.
Play a song with a melody and this is what happens.
I don't think anyone would complain if he 'overplayed' a little now and then. Viking Kong will forever be one of the best guitar masterpieces ever created.
He's playing better than ever. Amazing!
my name is vetho
There are few that can tell you a story with the guitar rather than just play notes. Paul Gilbert is one of them.
After all these years, you are still a great inspiration. Thank you mate!
Well said.
My friend passed away two years back and Paul Gilbert is one of his favourite guitar player ...this music makes me sad ... Paul is legend
Phrasing is so beautiful, sounds like a very vocal/human singing melody. I can almost hear the words! So beautiful. Thanks as always, Master.
Axiom Ape my thoughts exactly, and it’s even more prominent on the track “Let the battery die”
lirycs by John Myung
That's because for this album he composed vocal parts with lyrics and then translate into guitar only, for what I understand.
@@MrBluesboy21 Oh WOW ! That makes total sense now. PG is a genius !
@@AxiomApe Watch his video "Not to Meander". It is a pretty good example of him explaining a lot of his thought/writing process. Besides, it is a great song!

Love you Paul Gilbert, thanks for always being so inspirational and cool. Great song and great musicians helping out. :)
holy shit , didn notcie it.
@@a3393962 :) Music is so incredible. I am happy you hear it too !
Yeah.. amazing
He said that’s how he composed the song. He wrote lyrics and sang it then transcribed it to guitar.
Pretty cool approach.
@@ironblud Yeah, I think he does that a lot actually. He has definitely mentioned it before on other songs.
That was one hell of a conversation with that guitar Mr. Gilbert! I love it! So good.....
Congratulations on that building Mr. Gilbert. Excellent song by the way!

Henrique Junior nailed it

Great Album!!!!! Good times!
That’s awesome
I love the UA-cam community when others open up about their playing
SCARIFIED Almost mepade me quit but it was Paul who was my Mantra for the TECHNICAL ability i now possess
In the midst of this broken and turbulent world comes five minutes of joyful peace. Thankyou Paul
Shreds for a minute, then pulls out slide and plays one of the most heartfelt melodies ever. PG = Pure Genius
That wasn't even shred for Mr. Gilbert -- just a medium speed jazzy phrase ;)
Very smooth transition from slide to fingers and back. I wouldn't expect anything less than amazing from Paul Gilbert. Awesome!
this is just straight up unbelievable! two days into my fandom and yet to have my jaw stay upright
I've been writing songs on guitar for 20 plus years. Every vid Paul teaches me somthing new. Me and my kids dig it.
I've been playing guitar, and bass guitar for 40 years. Paul is 1 of a hand full of players who are just so awesome I just wanna pile up all my gear and set it on fire.. how is he such a wizard?
This is truly one of the most beautiful pieces of art ever written. Paul, thank you for all the inspiration.
I love when you play so melodic. Beatiful. It's a nice mixture of Hsrrison slide style, jazz, and prog, with that unique touch of yours.
These melodies and chord progressions give you a cheerful yet slightly remorseful vibe. Just like someone who owns a building reminiscing his whole life's hard work getting there. Love it.
OMG.. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL, PAUL! The melodies, the tone, the contrast of different modes and dynamic, the unpredictable yet somehow coherent melody and chord progression, the playing, the feel, the emotion.. wow.. just wow..
This is my first time hearing paul Gilbert. He is so amazing! Its everything i ever wanted to hear! This is soul crushingly beautiful...
The slide parts remind me of some of George Harrison's stuff. Great job!
Yep, definitely feeling an All Things Must Pass vibe there...
@@gringochucha or the track "I'll see you in my dreams".
@@gringochucha so Paul doesn't play heavy metal anymore?
What a shame
Some "Cheer Down" vibes in there for sure...
@@norpriest521 Ogg ergs borgg derp?
As a regular guitar listener, I am so satisfied with Pauls music, I don't know how others feel

So many kind words here in the comments. So let me add my two cents. You never cease to amaze Paul! You always inspire me to play. Thank you for that.
폴길버트~! 최고의 연주입니다. Thank you.
Just a beautiful piece of music. Paul Gilbert is an amazing musician!
Thank you Paul for your music, your gift to the world. We are lucky to have you share this beautiful planet with us.
While I don't like this type of music, I absolutely love watching Paul play. He's a master of guitar and I can tell he loves what he's doing here. As an aspiring guitarist virtuoso, this is awesome to watch.
What type of music is this?
i dont know the type. But i love the harmony
What do mean? You don't like melodies? LOL
He means he likes black ppl music
It's time to start liking it chump.
what a beautiful song. love seeing all these guys just jamming and PG just giving that guitar the most wonderful voice. wow, this whole album is incredible btw
"I own a building
I own a building of my own

Since Paul sang that in Bristol, I've not heard this song in the same way!
What a LEGEND!!!
No other words come to mind.
In my dreams I can see Paul playing an album with BUCKETHEAD.....
It's a wonderful dream.....
What an lovely melody, thank you Paul!
Amazing melody lines .🎸
The magnetic strip for the slide is pretty damn cool, as is that guitar. Great playing as usual too!
Ibanez Fireman series is the best looking guitar 😍
@@arieanggriawan6591 Yeah, this one in particular; the black and white I think just looks cool. Pretty simple, but effective none the less
We are so lucky to have you Paul. Thank you for sharing your music. You are a bada$$ among men. There was a lot of feeling in this piece, but I can't quite say how it made me feel. That is what was so cool about it.
Love me some Paul Gilbert. One of my all time favorite guitarists :)
That melody dude! My goddnes!!!
Shades of Georgia Harrison, lovely new page you have turned Paul👍👍👍
*George*
I heard that as well. Good stuff.
I agree!!! I heard it too!
My favorite guitarrist nowadays it's mr gilbert, precise, good taste and humble sir !!
I love Paul's tone - so thick, and he doesn't overdo the effects. Every time I watch live videos of him jamming with other guitar players, the others always sound thin and fuzzy compared to him.
Thank you for Saint P gig in Russia 14/09,that's was awesome Paul!
Looking forward to see you again with new albums and bright ideas!Be well my guitar hero!
Paul, you're an inspiration to all of us!! Thank you for continuing to make great music!
Saw him for the first time ever last night. Jesus Christ. It’s one thing to watch on a computer, a completely other to feel and see him make it right in front of me.
That intro had me expecting an entirely different song,
Then he pulled out the slide
Bottleneck.
@@CreamFreshCream Slide: it is metal not glass.
True bro..
XD
IKR! LOL..
Lots of feel and emotion. Unreal...Mr. Gilbert never seems to let me down.
YOU'VE GOT THAT MAGIC TOUCH..SLIDE SECTION SUCH A GEORGE/BEATLE FEEL
One of the most talented guitar player of our times. Always getting better.
This made me so happy I cried I've loved Paul Gilbert since I was a little boy and I enjoy his music to this day I am 44 now and introducing my daughter to his beautiful music and she likes it and that's pretty cool
So cool..... blessings from TX.
I knew Gilbert as one of the greatest guitarists, but I never heard so melodic song from him. Heavenly
You fucking rock paul! This recent stuff seems in a similar vein to silence followed by a deafening roar album, i love the variation of playing, it really comes through, like flying on a guitar through the dimension of music. Thanks!
These two albums are different. But tonalities collide in different ways
Love your soul paul 👍👍👍
:D ... bring me some smiles , just watching these guys play...
wow really creative, rarely used by other players, combining melody with the slide techniuque is truly extraordinary
“I own a building,
Ohh it feels so good,
To own a building.
Got my name on every brick,
An extension of my-ok we’ll just end there” - Paul Gilbert
That’s exactly what the guitar is saying hahaha
His guitar playing speaks for itself. I love his playing and personality. He is also a great teacher. I love him for sharing with us all
Reminds me a little bit of Steve Vai's Christmastime Is Here. Both beautiful
I always tell people I have fallen out of love with music.... then I listen to PG and recant that statement.
Drenched with Duan Almamisms. This is cool Paul. Thanks.
J.
Saw Paul in Detroit at the Token Lounge. The impossible has happened - Paul Gilbert has gotten better. The new album is great. He is also funny and entertaining. Truly in a league by himself, just the best, wow.
When you think you are going to hear some shredding and actually hear a beautiful melody from someone that could play anything... priceless
That was amazing! Really enjoyed it
Everyone watching this video at 0:31....
“I OWWWWNNNNN A BUILDINNNNGGGGG”
After all these year nobody is cleaner. your playing has become more elegant too. thanks for sharing paul!
In the past, I used to see Paul as a shredder, a great one. Now, I see Paul as a musician.
Long time since a song has brought such a smile to my face. This song just makes me happy!
The phrasing is beautiful! "IIIII ooooown a buil-ding..."
simply great! that´s why PG is one of my favorite guitar players and when I met him he was so simple as a person, so human that well He is a great human being and play wonderful!
Love your slide phrasing, you're totally channeling George Harrison on this one.
Saw him do this number at the gig in Reading last week. It was awesome. Such a fantastic talent and came across as a really humble but cool guy. 👍
Wow that is fucking incredible. Absolutely brilliant on every level.
made me cry with tears of joy - so emotionally touching. thanks Paul and Band
I can hear a big George Harrison influence
yes it is
Bassist?
@@ilhamfirmansyah2495 what?
Yes!! Smell
As always been listening to pg for 15 years , really an inspiration
fuck yeahhh!!! this is awesome,this record will be very interesting and different
Sweet Jesus, what the hell have I just watched..That was unbelievable. The whole band were bloody good, but Gilbert totaly OWNED that guitar. Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
Классный парень Paul Gilbert песня офигенная - мелодия супер, как будто душа поёт, я русский, но я плачу от этих нот, спасибо, Paul Gilbert

During quarantine, revisiting my childhood hero. Love you bro.
He just owned Duane Allman and Yngwie Malmsteem in one package.
I'm not too sure about owning those two or who is better haha but those 2 certainly describe a big part of PG's playing. George Harrison + Yngwie Malmsteen.
A great guitar master, Mr. Gilbert.
0:43 this kid doesn't realize how lucky he is, just guessing
Also, given the general strength of Asian genes when aging, that "kid" is probably mid 20s or into his 30s already, lol.
Paul gilbert is probably one of the coolest people alive. Thanks for making such great music and giving off such positive vibes. Really wish i could meet you someday.
3:18 Fantastic and beautiful part!
This is one of the most beautiful things I've listened to lately. Thanks, Paul and band.
