easy to hear the difference here huh?....that fireman he's playing is super resonant and the rest of the rig is 'just enough'...nothing over-processed.

I just have to comment on all of this "Paul destroys Steve here" and "Paul played all the 'hard' parts because Steve can't play fast" comments. I am a huge fan of both of these masters. Have been since the 80's. I probably lean a bit more towards PG but that's just a personal choice. To say that Steve can't play fast means you either have'nt seen him live or know his entire body of work. The only ones that see this as a competition are the armchair guitar heroes here on KZfaq. Both of these masters have nothing to prove to anyone, especially to each other. They both have carved out their own space in the guitar god universe. If I could only play a millionth of a percent as good as either of these guys would be a dream come true. I'm a total hack at guitar but am totally happy with my ability. I chose to raise a family instead of practicing endlessly and pursue music exclusively like Paul and Steve. My point being BOTH of these guys are better than any of us hacks and are at the level that all they are doing here is jamming together for a great cause. Each of them have more than millions of fans around the world to enjoy their music without becoming a pissing contest on who is better. So just enjoy their different styles and get well Tony! Sorry for the long comment. Just wanted to get that out.

Yea people try to make everything a competition so they can feel like they are on the winning side
@TheAxe4Ever8 жыл бұрын
Mario N. A very astute way to look at it. Never thought about it that way. People want to feel they are on the winning side so they make things they aren't directly involved in, into a competition. Especially with something they are most likely no good at themselves.
@marion.41298 жыл бұрын
+TheAxe4Ever Yea 😊like you said they've both more than proven themselves so this is just a bit of fun between two absolute legends. A lot of people will try and bend it to their opinion as some form of self comfort but they sacrifice their own some other's enjoyment of the piece. Just enjoy it 😊
@terrycornelius48 жыл бұрын
+TheAxe4Ever The probable reason why some people think Steve is slow is probably how Paul Gilbert is more influenced in terms of alternate picking. Nearly all his licks require fast alternate picking. Steve, in the other hand, is more influenced in tremolo related stuff and legato runs despite being very skilled in alternate picking. Most of his licks have at least a few dips and gargles topped off with a few quick bursts of legato. Either way, you're right. Either they have never seen Steve REALLY play or they are just die hard FANBOYS of Paul.
@chrislestermusic8 жыл бұрын
Well said. I like them both a lot. What I will add is that most musicians, whether they know it or not, are searching for their own voice, so if you can hear Vai play and know it's him by his style then he has accomplished what he needed to and speed isn't a factor. If you are only known by the speed that you play then that has less to do with music and more with track and field.

@@aaronjackson3275 Paul Gilbert taught Buckethead for awhile, and is a huge influence on him. Buckethead even has a few mimicry riffs/licks he clearly took from Paul(straight up signature PG stuff). Most of the guys that have been in G3 could stand next to Buckethead, and that's coming from a huge fan of him.
