Great lesson in tone. The dude is one of the best guitarists out there and his main tone is from a $49 distortion pedal. Chops over equipment for sure

Pretty sure TC could charge 150 for it and no one would complain. But I guess they just calculate production costs and add a fair profit and that’s it. No need to make it expensive if it’s simple. And don’t need to make it complex to make it good.

Paul Gilbert - The world's guitar teacher - I truly believe he belongs in the Hall of Fame, not just for his body of musical work, but for the fact that he has probably taught every single guitarist that will be in the Hall of Fame in the next 20 years and further. There are many great guitarists out there - and guitar heroes - but not many great guitar teachers. Paul really is Guitar Instructor to the Planet - gotta love him. Would love to meet him some day.

While more fame and fortune probably sound good in theory. Paul comes off like he enjoys his day to day life, music and playing guitar just fine. I think he has a family so the traveling probably gets annoying. Being a Hendrix or page would probably deny him most of that - except the traveling. Or WTF do I know. The videos he does on KZfaq are simply awesome and inspiring. I am sure of that part.
