Paul Gilbert of Mr. Big and Racer X covers ZZ Top's "Waitin' For The Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago".
Sam Ash customers and fans were treated to a blazing guitar clinic featuring a highly entertaining Paul Gilbert. Gilbert rocked for nearly two hours backed by Sam Ash's own Al Vetere on drums and bassist Craig Martini, all along amusing the audience with engaging stories and musical insight. Thanks, Paul!
The drummer is killing it! A lot of people don't seem to get the right feel on Waitin' for the Bus... this guy feels it!
Great fun, thanks for sharing!
Paul you are so good and so is your band! Precise!
So many of these big guns have shown gratitude to the lil ole band from Texas lately.
The missing element here just underlines how laid back and cool Billy Gibbons' playing style is. It's sort like watching Pavarotti trying to sing a Ray Charles song.
Great tone on his guitar!
Outstanding!!!
Mr. sooo under rated Paul Gilbert.
I think the Vodka and OJ kicked in just under 5 minutes hahaha. Awesome performance!
Paul Gilbert is so fucking cool. He can and does play whatever he feels like and recently he has been applying his amazing tone and technique to good songs rather than playing eighties shred stuff ( which is fine to show players what the instrument is capable of with the right amount of talent, dedication and hard work but it is so limiting and the songs do not particularly groove and demonstrate that soul that Paul has unlike many from his era. When Paul and Richie Kotzen were on stage with some well known.guitar hero's playing blues based rock, those two could use their chops to take the blues to another place where the other guys, who were all well respected guitar players were lost when it came to improvisational jamming. That is an elemental and critical measure of a musicians ability to have musical conversation in any situation. developing crazy chops that you can only apply to rehearsed and arranged pieces that you wrote is not the measure of a musician. A great American musician (meaning a guy who plays rock, blues, jazz, country, blue grass, fusion and other uniquely American music that is essential requires that you can get into any situation that is open and not structurally complex and rip in any of those styles (assuming the rock,jazz or fusion does not contain a dozen bizarre chords and time signatures that are not intuitive). The ultimate measure of a player is what he does in a stripped down bare bones format because now everyone is on equal footing (nobody is incapable of playing pentatonic scales over a one four five progression using dominant 7th chords as in blues or cowboy chords as in country or other blues rock, soul, r n b tunes that all have a format that harkens back to blues. When you see players in that situation they are essentially naked and must rely on note choice, phrasing, vibrato and expressive bends. They must have rock solid licks that make a statement and they cannot get away with playing shaped based sequences or diatonic legato lines over two chords designed to showcase the chops and written so you can't play a bad note as long as you know what shapes you should play over particular parts. All that does is showcase various techniques and tells us nothing about the artists ability to play what is in his head off the cuff and truly communicate as effortlessly as a great orator., That's how it should be. You can have all the skill in the world and have feel and spontaneity (look at larry Carlton, Steve Lukather, Derek Trucks, Robben Ford, Neal Schon, Jeff Beck, Bonamassa etc. Paul Gilbert, Kotzen and Vinnie Moore can do that and still rip. That's what makes a player great.
Paul Gilbert has the most feel/emotion in his playing out of anyone in the million notes a minute club. You can tell the guy loves every second that guitar is in his hands.
Very very well said friend.
What a treat, a zz top cover
What a killer groove! Nice job cameraman, showing how Paul uses his foot pedals at various points in the song, great angle.
Love it - Would love to have been there for this Clinic - keep on kickin' it Paul!!
Good cover, love the song!
Hahahahaha...."you might not see him in person"......hahahaha....CLASSIC Sam!
That kicked ass
gotta love that marshall tone
nice tks paul
BEYOND badass...
Bass player needs to start pulling his weight with the backing vocals.
Ahhh take me with ya Jesus!
i know, right ? and the cameraman needs to move so drummer isnt blocked. other than that its great.
There may be a good reason he's not. You might be sorry!
The bass player does as he is told
Paul you're the guitar players guitar player.
The guitarist plays the riff perfectly but the bass player should be singing with him the "have mercy" line
Exactly what I was thinking
While it may seem patently ludicrous to call Paul Gilbert an "under rated" guitar player, I still think he doesn't get the credit or adulation (or commercial success) from the general public that he deserves. This dude is on my Mount Rushmore of guitar players from his generation.
Just like zz but the bass player needs to sing as well on the "have mercy" line
Paul did a good job adjusting during the solo in 'Bus' as the bass player lost count and changed from G to E one measure too soon. Anyone else catch that?
Yes I did.
I too make up lyrics as I go along 😂
Van Halen (with DLR) do an absolutely kick-ass cover of this song.
And he's on his way to Bangalore
got my brown paper bag
Are those mannequins in the audience? 😅 I'd be groovin'
Who ever faded out the ending- WRONG! LOL
I love Paul's playing BUT, you cannot play this song outside of Billy's groove with flashy lead work or the song gets lost. It takes discipline to play slow and tasty!
covers are cool with someone else's bit sometimes...he bit the lyrics too lol
Sometimes less is more
He made it his own....but I agree with you 👍
Dat drummers ryt on!. Give me that boys name. I'm from Chicago. Been to New Orleans. Bring me dat boys info. Please
Nice tone on the lead. Needs some volume on the bass. Great cover
Muddy water turned the wine
Oops! Little glitch on 2nd verse! Oh well, I've seen original artists do it too!
Missing the beards 😩
Who dat be on skins!???
Not bad but apparently Billy Gibbons has got me spoiled cause to me he just didn’t put near enough stank on it
Whether or not he gets "the blues vote" is irrelevant. Cool version, killer tone and as always w PG, great licks. However get those lyrics right! LOL
Needs to hire a singer
na. not even CLOSE.what paul does is great. but it aint the blues. too fast and mechanical. if you dont know what I mean then....you dont get the blues
horrible!
As a lover of the blues I think Paul is very bluesy when he wants to be. I feel that adding different colors just gives it a little change of pace and could be refreshing. What kinda blues do you like listening to or playing btw? I love talking blues.
He is a great guitarist, he plays in his own way and that is to be respected.
I want my money back than give it to Billy F gibbons
Ok cover but that base to quit fading into the background and slow it down a bit.
Dude got the lyrics wrong.
Paul is usually so awesome on everything that he does; not so much on Waiting for the Bus. He kind of loses the feel of the song and overplays a bit too much. Jesus Just Left Chicago was fine.
Paul is great but he should go 70s and invest in a couple of female back-up singers....
Obvs Paul Gilbert is a fantastic guitarist… but this lacks everything that Billy Gibbons puts into it. The feel, the heart and soul.
Also, Billy Gibbons plays like he’s chilled as 😎
the last lead shamefully cut off!
Slow down a little... Geez! Lol
He is to heavy on the strings and looses the Billy nasty tone. Tone is in the hands and touch. Elwood James, Duane Allman, Derek Trucks No pedals and all in the hands and touch with the slide.
Technically beautiful but very very far from the blues.
Really? Hmm I thought it was really bluesy, but he did throw his style on it.
@@vanessaverdo2838 I didnt mean for that to be as douchey as it sounded haha he shreds and I love his approach and the individuality 🤘🏻
@@6bonsctt oh its cool
I fucking hate that he got the lyrics wrong!
Love Paul but he is too precise and not nearly gritty enough.
Yes a lightweight but his singing is better here?
This guy needs to study the lyrics a little better
