Paul Gilbert Covers "Waitin' For The Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago" - Sam Ash Music Las Vegas 

The drummer is killing it! A lot of people don't seem to get the right feel on Waitin' for the Bus... this guy feels it! Great fun, thanks for sharing!

Paul you are so good and so is your band! Precise!

The missing element here just underlines how laid back and cool Billy Gibbons' playing style is. It's sort like watching Pavarotti trying to sing a Ray Charles song.

I think the Vodka and OJ kicked in just under 5 minutes hahaha. Awesome performance!

Great tone on his guitar!

Outstanding!!!

Paul Gilbert is so fucking cool. He can and does play whatever he feels like and recently he has been applying his amazing tone and technique to good songs rather than playing eighties shred stuff ( which is fine to show players what the instrument is capable of with the right amount of talent, dedication and hard work but it is so limiting and the songs do not particularly groove and demonstrate that soul that Paul has unlike many from his era. When Paul and Richie Kotzen were on stage with some well known.guitar hero's playing blues based rock, those two could use their chops to take the blues to another place where the other guys, who were all well respected guitar players were lost when it came to improvisational jamming. That is an elemental and critical measure of a musicians ability to have musical conversation in any situation. developing crazy chops that you can only apply to rehearsed and arranged pieces that you wrote is not the measure of a musician. A great American musician (meaning a guy who plays rock, blues, jazz, country, blue grass, fusion and other uniquely American music that is essential requires that you can get into any situation that is open and not structurally complex and rip in any of those styles (assuming the rock,jazz or fusion does not contain a dozen bizarre chords and time signatures that are not intuitive). The ultimate measure of a player is what he does in a stripped down bare bones format because now everyone is on equal footing (nobody is incapable of playing pentatonic scales over a one four five progression using dominant 7th chords as in blues or cowboy chords as in country or other blues rock, soul, r n b tunes that all have a format that harkens back to blues. When you see players in that situation they are essentially naked and must rely on note choice, phrasing, vibrato and expressive bends. They must have rock solid licks that make a statement and they cannot get away with playing shaped based sequences or diatonic legato lines over two chords designed to showcase the chops and written so you can't play a bad note as long as you know what shapes you should play over particular parts. All that does is showcase various techniques and tells us nothing about the artists ability to play what is in his head off the cuff and truly communicate as effortlessly as a great orator., That's how it should be. You can have all the skill in the world and have feel and spontaneity (look at larry Carlton, Steve Lukather, Derek Trucks, Robben Ford, Neal Schon, Jeff Beck, Bonamassa etc. Paul Gilbert, Kotzen and Vinnie Moore can do that and still rip. That's what makes a player great.

So many of these big guns have shown gratitude to the lil ole band from Texas lately.

Mr. sooo under rated Paul Gilbert.

What a treat, a zz top cover

Love it - Would love to have been there for this Clinic - keep on kickin' it Paul!!

gotta love that marshall tone

What a killer groove! Nice job cameraman, showing how Paul uses his foot pedals at various points in the song, great angle.

That kicked ass

Good cover, love the song!

Hahahahaha...."you might not see him in person"......hahahaha....CLASSIC Sam!

nice tks paul

Bass player needs to start pulling his weight with the backing vocals.

BEYOND badass...

Paul you're the guitar players guitar player.

The guitarist plays the riff perfectly but the bass player should be singing with him the "have mercy" line

Paul did a good job adjusting during the solo in 'Bus' as the bass player lost count and changed from G to E one measure too soon. Anyone else catch that?

Just like zz but the bass player needs to sing as well on the "have mercy" line

I too make up lyrics as I go along 😂

got my brown paper bag

Who ever faded out the ending- WRONG! LOL

Muddy water turned the wine

And he's on his way to Bangalore

Are those mannequins in the audience? 😅 I'd be groovin'

Nice tone on the lead. Needs some volume on the bass. Great cover

I love Paul's playing BUT, you cannot play this song outside of Billy's groove with flashy lead work or the song gets lost. It takes discipline to play slow and tasty!

While it may seem patently ludicrous to call Paul Gilbert an "under rated" guitar player, I still think he doesn't get the credit or adulation (or commercial success) from the general public that he deserves. This dude is on my Mount Rushmore of guitar players from his generation.

Oops! Little glitch on 2nd verse! Oh well, I've seen original artists do it too!

Dat drummers ryt on!. Give me that boys name. I'm from Chicago. Been to New Orleans. Bring me dat boys info. Please

Needs to hire a singer

Who dat be on skins!???

Dude got the lyrics wrong.

Not bad but apparently Billy Gibbons has got me spoiled cause to me he just didn’t put near enough stank on it

Ok cover but that base to quit fading into the background and slow it down a bit.

Paul is great but he should go 70s and invest in a couple of female back-up singers....

Whether or not he gets "the blues vote" is irrelevant. Cool version, killer tone and as always w PG, great licks. However get those lyrics right! LOL

Slow down a little... Geez! Lol

the last lead shamefully cut off!

I want my money back than give it to Billy F gibbons

na. not even CLOSE.what paul does is great. but it aint the blues. too fast and mechanical. if you dont know what I mean then....you dont get the blues

I fucking hate that he got the lyrics wrong!

Paul is usually so awesome on everything that he does; not so much on Waiting for the Bus. He kind of loses the feel of the song and overplays a bit too much. Jesus Just Left Chicago was fine.

He is to heavy on the strings and looses the Billy nasty tone. Tone is in the hands and touch. Elwood James, Duane Allman, Derek Trucks No pedals and all in the hands and touch with the slide.

Technically beautiful but very very far from the blues.

Love Paul but he is too precise and not nearly gritty enough.

This guy needs to study the lyrics a little better
