Paul Gilbert is a great player and a gifted teacher. A true blessing to the guitar world.

I love how paul can make the most basic things sound really cool.

This is the first time someone has explained arpeggios without the verbal hype. A truly great lesson. Thank you.

Pauls laid back and kind personality adds to his gift as an exceptional instructor.... I wish I knew him personally..

I learn something every time I watch this dude. Great teacher

the arpeggio he was showing in the octives, when i first saw him talking about it, i got my metronome out and i practiced it for a few weeks, i was jamming with a friend and when i was in the moment i used it and WOW, it freaking makes you sound like your the guitar boss lol. Thanks Paul!

Man, it's such a pleasure to hear someone with the kind of technical skill Gilbert has playing with something other than a high-gain metal tone. It really allows his technique and skill to come out...

Paul Gilbert has the unfair advantage of having 4 index fingers.

I love this guy , and his way of teaching....ive been a fan for way over 20 years and met him twice in 91/92 with Mr Big...

He seems like such a cool and nice guy..like a person who would be a great friend to have

Paul Gilbert videos have been my #1 source of improvement for the past 15 years. Greatest rock guitar teacher of our time imo.

Paul Gilbert never ceases to amaze me. Such a freaking shredder, but plays so tasteful at the same time.

I constantly return to Paul's lessons, because his teaching is sooo eye and ear opening.

Paul is an amazing teacher, and every time I watch him play I'm encouraged to go try something new on the guitar. His videos got me into shred guitar in the first place. Rock on Paul!

Let the sweepers of the world take care of the sweeps

Best teacher ever. Explains it in simple terms and it’s stuff you can actually use...

PAUL GILBERT has been doing this educational video since I dont know when and he has to be the best at doing this! Bravo Paul!

His style of teaching is so refreshing to me. Absolutely no ego, explains in a way that's easy to understand, and makes you feel like you're sitting directly across from him. I would love to sit in a room for a private lesson with Paul, I can only imagine what I'd learn.

My new guru. His style is just so wonderful. And of course he gives you the magic button to opening up the fretboard.

Dont ya wish you had this dude as your guitar teacher once or twice a week for a few years?

his lessons are hands down the best. He comes off in a non-pretentious way and he slows it down for me to learn.....

A genius. Great that there are still people like this prepared to pass on their hard earned knowledge.

The yoda of guitar instructors

Ah man awesome lesson! I've been looking for meaningful ways to do arps for years!

The fact that you want to teach is amazing. How many other "world class" guitarists would take the time to teach us. You absolutely rock! Thanks for all you do.

Not only is Paul Gilbert a guitar phenom, he just seems like a way cool dude. No rays of ego trip shooting from his eyes.

The old phrase "those who can't teach" definitely does not apply hear because he is GREAT at both!!!

Unbelievable.. he explained a years' worth of advanced ear training and applied music theory in minutes. Great teacher. clear explanations and very approachable lessons , as always. Thanks Paul!

Paul !!! You'r the man !!!!!!!!!

a small glimpse into the mind of a genius!! makes you think what sounds complicated sound and look easy...... the greatest guitar teacher ever! awesome guitarist, teacher and human!!

Best teacher on KZfaq. EVER!

Paul Gilbert --> No ego, just guitars! This lesson is a classic example of how well Paul can teach and how much he loves teaching and more importantly how humble he can be! He is by far my favourite guitarist-person!

Paul Gilbert is the most informative when he is teaching. This is what makes him a great teacher as well as an amazing player.

Explained in such an awesome and easy way, one of the best lessons on KZfaq

I've been playing now for eight years and I wish I would have started watching Paul's videos from day one. Only the past two years or so have I really watched most of them and they have done worlds for me. He is by far the best teacher I've seen online and has the best method for explaining things to people. This octave lesson is probably one of the most useful that I've seen him do. What I'd do to pick his brain for one hour...

What a player/cool guy and such a good teacher too!! :)

Simplified, essential and just down right enjoyable to watch and learn. He gets straight to the point and shows advanced guitar techniques aren't that intimidating. Would gladly part with my money for lessons. Love ya work Paul 🤘🏽🤩🎸💦

What I like about Paul Gilbert is not only is he incredibly talented but he actually seems like he could be a good guitar teacher. Seems very patient. Not all guitar players are able to be that way.

Possibly the most useful online guitar lesson I've ever seen.

The thing I like about these Paul Gilbert videos is that an even an over-the-hill rocker like me can understand what he's doing. My rock & roll days are long over but I can always learn something new by coming back to these Gilbert lessons.

This is the best guitar instructional video I have ever seen. Period.

OMG you just opened my eyes! Thank you for your experience and patience as a player/teacher. Paul Gilbert everybody! 👏👏👏

Thanks for the effort you put into these videos.

an outstanding lesson! gave me new perspectives on working the arppegios. Great and humble bloke this guy is.

I love watching him hes great at putting things into perspective and making them easier tonfigure out. Favorite guitarist of all time

I love this guy. One of the greatest

Best explanation I have come across yet, didn't realise such a guitar legend was also a great teacher.

Thanks paul. You're the best teacher

What a great teacher you are Paul!

Paul Gilbert and Marty Friedman have the coolest guitar styles I've ever heard

Excellent lesson Paul. Thank you very much.

very kindly recieved Paul! thank you for opening up the way to look much calmer at arpegios. and that is a nice sounding arpegio!!

Paul- I Love the way you teach. Also,your playing is extraordinaire. Thank you.

You're explaining this in the best way, Paul !

so many lessons for entire guitar life of mine in just 7 min..thanks a lot paul .

Paul gilbert is quickly becoming my favorite guitarist. His lessons are awesome too!

Great info Paul, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and insights.

Paul has rightfully earned the title of guitar jedi master...real talk. He is modern rock guitar, both as a player and instructor.

Paul is such a great teacher! This was a fun lesson.

Man, this guy is one of the best guitarists I have ever heard. And he is one hell of a teacher, too.

OMG this has helped so much! he's a genious! fabulous idea with octaves!! can't express how thrilled i am to have learned this!! tnx, Paul!!

Seeing this guy playing the guitar brings always a smite to my face :D On the other hand it makes me kinda sad because I cant play like that :x

thank you very much, been looking for ages for tips like these

The fact that I now feel like I could play like him suggests that he is a really good teacher.

paul gilbert is the best teacher for me !

i have to say this video has to be the greatest boost to my soloing technique, like, EVER.

Great teaching...quick and to the point with examples. Thanks!

Genius Paul Gilbert is. Thanks so much man!

Short lesson with a lot of consistence. Thank you.

Thank god. Finally someone who sounds decent and can teach slow and easy. I play by ear and sight, so this helped me speed up a few techniques. My Ibanez Radius says she loves you. Thanks.

thanks a lot paul..4 yr teaching..inspire me...

best guitar teacher ever, thanks for teaching my fav guitarist buckethead!

Paul is an amazing teacher. Bravo!

For myself Pauls lessons have helped me excel incredibly, one of the best things I got out of them is that he always picks every note including hammers and pulls.... Now I don't sound like everyone else, my leads have zest and are tasty as hell!!! Thank you Paul!!!

such a great teacher....easy to understand and relate to.

Gosh, he just opened my eyes into a whole new light

I have learned so much from him when people hear me play...they ask how I learned ..I always say ...I take lessons from Paul gilbert

Love his phrasing.. Its impossible to compare!!

Just when I thought I finally learned my lesson well, There was more to this than meets the eye And for all the things you taught me, only time will tell, If I'll be able to survive, oh yeah.38 special. You are a great teacher teacher!👍

Hell yeah you learn stuff. I watched a video last night and god..It really helped me out a lot today and everything just seemed so much easier and cleaner.

You are simply awesome Paul

Thank you Paul for keep inspiring 🤘🏿🔥🤘🏿

amazing teacher!!!thank you Paul Gilbert!!!!

Good vid, just opened my eyes to some new stuff, so simple but sounds great

This is awesome.really digging arpeggios lately.

the man that taught Buckethead ^

How awesome is this guy? Tremendous lesson!

Thanks Paul, short and sweet. I am playing since 85 I must have a head as thick as a watermelon. There is still hope to break the ice with a teacher like you I am getting motivated to push again, thank you.

THANK YOUUUU!!! finally someone who makes it simple.

Another really useful lesson thanks paul!

Amazing guitar player and one of the coolest, most intelligent and eloquent people.

Awesome lesson. I used this right away working on a solo for a new song last night! Totally down to earth guy

I know this is not a new video but Paul you are awesome beyond words , arguably the best guitarists ever

the best rock and roll teacher :)) thank you Paul Gilbert

You give me such a insperation thank you so much for this and keep going Txn. Jan JR Lundqvist Sweden gutarplayer +50 year old but still learning stuff !

he is such a great player... simple ideas and let you master the guitar... great lesson !

add me to the list of those who learned something tangible and as a result my understanding of the guitar expanded and it transfers rather easily to the fretboard when applied by playing the shapes at the different root levels. Opened me up to an almost endless variety of phrases and solo ideas......really really good stuff!
