No doubt about it...

...and he is an alien. Paul Gilbert is an alien from a far off galaxy.

He's a great guitarist

he teaches by playing killer licks

swerte ah

Yep, easily.

That would be Shawn Lane. Even Gilbert says it.

@@ShanntahnPininchula paul says shawn is the most terrifying guy , and he mentioned that his phrasing is amazing but never heard him say cleanest and accurate, I like shawn too but I can say paul picking is the most tight picking of all time

@@debuhokontra2006 Correct, Shawn wasn't as clean, there's a reason he used tons of delay. Killer player of course and one of my favorites.

George Bellas is pretty incredible also, super accurate and very clean, you should check him out.

Don't we all. I have no interest in anything he's done in the last ten years. Quite dull and predictable. This was a wacky but fun time for guitar. He's very, shall I say, household now. Dull.

@@dadude7 bruh

Fuzz Universe in 2010 was the last record in my mind where Paul sounded like Paul. After that he started to really get into bluesy stuff, like he said he's going back to his roots, when as a kid he wanted to be a singer. Now he's mostly playing vocal's melodies with his guitar. He's incorporating more jazz-fusion elements now, but i enjoy his recent stuff less than before. His shred and power-pop stuff was the best to me.

Being the same age as Paul, and playing just as long as him, we just gravitate to other techniques and styles. Doesn't mean never again, just a change. I am quite sure if chose to, he would play Racer X type style. Where Paul does other things, malmsteen plays the same. To me it gets sterile to stay stuck. But I get it, I prefer his old DiMeola picking stuff, but over 30 years.... we change it up. Good news is you can pop on a video or the music from back then.

Fuzz Universe, Bultaco Saruno,Radiator, The gargoyle, Super Heroes, Yet out of MY yard, Let the Computer Decide, all of those have been recorded the past 10-15 years and have some of the best fastest shredding, and Musicality youl ever here, he still does plenty.

Yeah, could be the water and food quality being better back then and pollution, iv had lots of theories

Holdsworth, Gambale, Garsed, Lane, Metheny Re: chromatic scale: First of all PG, you didn’t play the chromatic scale there ... chromatic is 5 half steps per string or 4 nps moving back one fret as move up string....Chopin, Beethoven, Liszt et al could make the chromatic scale unbelievably MUSICAL as you NOW know but of course in 1989 when this was filmed you didn’t.

no that'll be Allan Holdsworth RIP, then probably Shawn Lane RIP and then Frank Gambale. Then there's a wide chasm before we get to guys like Becker, Malsteen, MacAlpine, Kotzen and Garsed and then there another large chasm to the park almost everyone else plays in.

His path has been just fine, he's continued to make some of the best guitar songs and the most technical and some of the fastest as well well into the mid/late 2000s , no he doesn't quite have things exactly like he did when he was you know like 19-26 years old - who does like John Petrucci, and Shawn Lane, Jason Becker in his entire like 4 year career before he could never play Guitar again due to illness, and on top of those guys like maybe 4-5 others in history ya know lol, so really Gilberts body of work and how far he took the guitar is more then legendary and all time great worthy and is absolutely in great and ultra rare company, but I'm sure you have heard stuff like off of his albums more recently like mid 200s like Get out of my Yard, Silence followed by a deafening roar, and Fuzz universe, songs like fuzz Universe, propeller, The Gargoyle, Bultaco Surano, get out of my yard-song title and album-The Echo Song, Rusty Old Boat, Let the computer decide - if you haven't heard that one dude you got to watch it live right now on here! that will show you he can absolutely shred like he's always been able to! then Radiator. then Super Heroes from Racer X, anyways all of those are mostly examples of for him newer stuff more then a few of them which have elements of both moments of some of the best technical fast shredding youl ever here, but also super musical as well as speed.

Totally agree. Too bad he has lost identity, trying to asume a more "soul" vibe... the soul of the white man is the Heroic Soul, not the moaning blues and the jazz dizz even less.

@@danielhicks4826 I couldn't stated better my friend... My list as follows. Shawn Lane. Jason Becker. Paul Gilbert. Allan Holdsworth. Buckethead. Thomas Mcrocklin. Dan Mumm. Jason Richardson. Paul Gilbert is Mr. Paul Gilbert to me!

@@danielhicks4826 not a fan of his compositions. i mean it’s nice friendly pop rock but i outgrew that years ago.

@@boddhiswaha5446 Everything changed when he met Satriani at that damned 2007 G3. Sometime i wish he never got there. For whatever reason he thought that he wasn't melodic or soulful enough in his playing, and like you said he completely lost his identity. His records kept being great until 2010, Fuzz Universe being the last awesome one, but after that he went down a weird path of bluesy, jazz and slide stuff. He's fighting against his own nature of super shredder, and it's a shame. He's all over the place these days, and his tone is awful.

Well thats a result of how he plays...you could handle him a 50 $ acoustic and will still sound razor blade

what about a 20$ acoustic. where is it that we draw the line

You draw the line when you see him playing a frikkin bass and still kick ass...

use a chorus pedal and a very short delay

The ADA MP1 pre-amp's era, and the Super Distortion pickups. That and Paul's playing combined made the best tone ever for shredding stuff.

Becker and Friedman were very friendly guys too.

You were actually there.

They were there!

Paul was his teacher

Me too, in the back

Adam Saunders who cares

Ditto-Loved this seminar

คนนี้สุดติ่งกระดิ่งแมว

whether you like or hate the way he played back then, please respect it. it's tough playing that fast and learning all that...

AANJ necks exist since 1987, so its possible...maybe it was not used for the common ibanezes at the time but PG had access to the custom shop !

Yeah alot of paul gilbert models where never produced

Cleaner? No! The audio here just sucks. More melodic and mature now? Yes but i miss his fericious shredding sometimes.

@@KD-nb3mp Paul can still shred "Ferociously" I just think he's a much better player now. Technique and Tone wise.🙂👍

Hello, unfortunately we don't have Richie's clinics in our archives.

I was at that clinic. I still have the handouts. You can see them on my channel at this link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oslkqsmYr7vQpYU.html

That is something Angus Young used to do. Search for "Let there be rock live" from the 70s. He does that in his last solo.

@@stevenstahlberg5469 You're my hero

edge2991 no he looks like axl rose man

A mix of norum rose

CervezaDeManteca really?

@@Person-cv9dj yes

CervezaDeManteca i knew was at namm but i thought it was earlier

Lol

If you need tabs to figure out what he is playing then your'e probably not in the level to play this yet

Just look at any of his instructional dvds. All his patterns are similar to each other.

@@yonikup2865 I guess not

@@shredgod6394 thanks if it's the same as his hot licks etc there are resources

Pretty sure Paul's huge discography, spacing from 80s metal shred and rock to blues, fusion, classical and pop speaks for itself. But let's judge a player by a clinic.

imyourgodmachine weak

This is a clinic, not a concert

jscriv bruce wasnt better he was different.

Fucking hilarious.

No please!!!

Congrats, you’ve listened to a VHS tape from 30 years ago. Were you expecting digital studio quality?

@Ra L he's right.. shut the fuck up dude!

@@13guitard00d yeah Paul basically failed in the neo-classical style as in all others.

Aren't you tired of repeating the same nonsense in every Gilbert's video? Yeah he's a failure and can't play, but it seems you're one of his biggest fan. There are 3 constant trolls under many PG's videos, you're one of them, congrats.

@@livingbeing1113 go watch a real guitarist. I wont be trolling there

He's a real guitarist, and even more than that. Paul stopped shredding like this in as soon as the 90s appeared. And EVERYONE was influenced by Malmsteen and trying to play like this in the 80s. There are people that doesn't like Lane, Govan, Van Halen, Malmsteen, Petrucci, Clapton, Gambale, Holdsworth and such, opinions are like assholes.

Yeah,with 3 times the technique,and 5 times cleaner...

@@dannyhicks8653 for real, this guy is clueless.

Van Malsteen and YNGWIE Halen are not fit to carry Paul’s wife’s uncle’s gardener’s jock strap bag...

did it take you 29 years to craft that burn
