I have been trying to learn the intro riff for this song for 30 years. I have tried multiple videos along the way. Your video finally helped me get it. Thanks!
I love that Blues Saraceno plaid guitar. He had some great music back in the day. Thank you so much for posting this. I have learned this before but I forgot how to play it. This time I'll try to utilize theory (scale-wise) to visualize it better... and hopefully I won't forget it again, hahaha. I'm not the spring chicken I once was. Cheers from South Carolina!!
Nice! Always wanted to know how to play that intro. This is still one of my all-time favorite songs. I miss the early 90's sound. Hair bands were moving towards a more sincere blues/classic rock-influenced sound and away from some of the more cringeworthy posing. This album along with Lynch Mob's first & second album as well as David Lee Roth's Eat 'Em & Smile and A little Ain't Enough were huge influences on me as a player.
All of your lessons are from my favorite bands, it's like we had the same music collection. Extreme, Giant, Blues Saraceno,, King's X, Mr Big..etc great stuff!
Yeah it was tricky to find definitive info on gear. I went for slight chorus, reverb and some stereo imaging with a duplicate track. Details are here for patrons:
any luck with the tone? I'm trying to chase this tone too. tried it first with high gain distortion pedal but it seems I got closer with just overdrive and less gain. I'm using chorus, reverb and a little delay. what drive are you using and how much gain? paul uses more distortion on live but I want to get the recording and I think it's less gain. I can play the song fine. it's the tone that eludes me.
I remember when this song was released, there were quite a few people saying that the guitar intro was recorded and then played in reverse. (it does kinda have that sound). Does anyone else remember that rumor or is it just me?
PG starts with the open E. I always transcribe referencing the actual artists performance where possible and applicable. The old Mr Big TAB books had it from the B string back in the day when they couldn't check such things.
Clever use of the Saraceno model to emphasize the green tinted fret markers.

Yours is the best lesson I've seen on this riff, it's dead on

Can't thank you enough for this lesson. Digging the Yamaha Christmas wrap edition.

Wonderful as always! Love this song
That was a huge help mate. Just seen Mr Big in Belfast there. Brilliant show.
I could always only play half of this until now.
Cheers
Awesome, so glad it helped! I'll be seeing them next Thursday! :D
@@mastertheguitar They sound fantastic.
Great lesson, I wish Yamaha still made guitars like that Blues model, always loved that one.
Excellent job on a great song.
Thanks! A classic tune indeed :)
man... that Yamaha looks so cool
That guitar is legendary.
Great, a hug from Brazil.
Great song!
wow that smooth transition from finger to pick is just SEXY. 0:17
Brilliant as always! - Thank you !
and yes - where did the last 30 years go :D
Nice guitar buddy🤘
Fuck me 30 years old, makes me feel old, but then I am now :(
Good lesson again fellow Scot
Top stuff, Mark! Maybe I’ll nail it... one day...
thank you, great lesson 🤟🏻😀
Plaid Yammy fuck yeah
Pretty damned cool. I was wondering how Mr. Gilbert played that riff.
Wow that helps ..and damn yammy sound like Ibanez 👍
Where did you get that guitar?
Blues saraceno signature , hoped to own one of those all my career but could never find one !
Found it on Reverb a few years ago :)
Any tips on the tone? Seems like some chorus and reverb, but that album tone was tough to nail.

Wow
I need a tartan guitar 🎸
You're distracting me, this is not the Paul Gilbert song I'm supposed to be working on, lol ;)
😀
What are the chances you bought that guitar from The Guitar Store on Hope St glasgow?
Nah, I found this one on Reverb from Italy :)
too much going on for me to fuck with....great song....I haven't tapped in 30 years....I just don't do that no more.....still a badass lesson
Richie Kotzen has a tapping free version.
how did you get that sound?
how much for the yammy?
I’ve finally mastered the tapping section.. I’m now flummoxed by the ‘basic’ chord soundings 🙄
Should start it on b string E F# hammer to open B I'm pretty sure thats how Gilbert does it
