I really don't have the words to describe how that piece makes me feel... Its beyond inspirational to see two phenomenal guitar players so locked into one another; they're literally playing as one ebbing, flowing, and breathing Entity. Masterful.
This would make a great song. If not, one of the best instrumental music ever! Technique, skills, melody, feeling, musicianship, talent all rounded up in one. Lots of cheers for Paul-Sheehan and Mr Big ladies and gentlemen!!
Billy Sheehan is a pretty good performer to know that the guitar is the more prominent instrument in the song, and gives it the love at the end. Paul and Billy are gods.
Im attending Pauls online guitar school and over the years I have come to realize what an awesome good hearted individual he really is, his love for the instrument and willingness to share everything he knows speaks so very well to his humanity. I used to be resistant to listening to Paul's discography because I thought it would just be all shred and Im jealous cause I cant do it... yet. But Ive come to realize he plays with tons of soul and feeling and has encyclopedic knowledge of everything classic rock. Braavo Paul and of course his esteemed and revered partner Mr. Sheehan.
I was lucky enough to have an in person lesson with Paul Gilbert. Not ring to brag or one up you, just give more testimony to how kind and great he is. I knew he had hearing damage, but, at the time, I was very soft spoken. And when I asked him a question, instead of asking me to speak up because he couldn't hear me, he cupped his ear and leaned in closer to me. This guitar God is accommodating me! Some stranger who can't play one ounce of what he can. Incredible. Such a humble guy. Best guitarist and super sweet, kind, and funny.
I applaud your ability to recognize those things about yourself. Paul Gilbert always did strike me as an authentic guy, he's doing what he loves, making a great living, and he looks really happy. I love celebrating people, famous or not, for being authentic and work to be a positive force in the world.
@@johnnycoolguy9554 he's the best. I got a picture picture with him holding his brand new fireman, and I had the 2000 guitar. I accidently clagned them together. He wasn't even worried about it. I emailed him when I got home and he told me they were just fine and no sweat. Just an awesome guy
They both have three of their strings tuned to E, Paul's 1st, 5th and 6th strings are removed. That's why they play double necks in the first place. Arpeggios from heaven... ;)
Yes and Billy Sheehan is one of my favorites along with Geddy Lee. Great musicians. Got to love Paul Gilbert. Virtuoso guitar players is what I look up to because I'm a guitarist and I study them.
More of a duet, really. Got to see Mr. Big back in 89/90? Awsome show. Opened with Wind me up. Great days. Great memories. Awsome that their still doing it!
Wow.. that was really great performance. I never seen anything big as what Mr. Big had done. Thank you.. thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart. That was so fuckin' awesome performance !!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
War Never Changes >> hi .... at first i thought you toss in some negative''drug reference'' one-liner at Paul's expense but instead u threw a complimentary zinger in there at the end about his pinkie YOU, my friend ... are a COOL dude!
No official title has been given yet; the Back to Budokan CD tracklisting identifies it as two separate songs - 0:00 to 3:09 as "Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheehan Duo" and 3:10 to 4:28 as "Double Human Capo"
pigebear - Remember that round red sticker on Paul's first Racer X album saying: Warning! If you are a guitar player, this as album may give you serious depression!
toda mi vida pense que slash era un dios el dios del hard rock pero paul gilbert es un monstruo creo que este guitarro dejo callado a malstein facilmente paul eres el mejor viejo
I always did love Gilbert for his technical abilities, but I also love the guys with soul like hendrix, young, and clapton. Some people its one or the other though and then they end up trash talking one which doesn't deserve trash talk.
The only difference is that in Mr Big's case both necks have 6 guitar and 4 bass strings. I mean Gilbert holds one with 6 guitar strings on each neck and Sheehan one with 4 bass strings respectively. However, Lifeson had a double neck guitar with six and twelve strings whereas Geddy with 4 bass strings and six guitar strings. I can't see the reason for playing a guitar with a double neck that has 6 strings on each neck, except if there's a different tuning maybe?
Not sure about Gilbert's, but Sheehan's top neck is tuned like the top 4 strings of a 5 string (BEAD) whilst the lower neck is tuned like a standard 4 string (EADG) Gilbert's would likely be the same, with a baritone guitar at the top maybe? Can't see a difference in scale length though...
I'm pretty sure one of the necks on Paul Gilbert's guitar only has 3 strings, and they're all tuned to octaves of Eb. I think it's the same for Billy's bass. For this video at least.
