Mr. Gilbert has always been my favorite shredder of all time. His melody choices, the way he picks. The way he doesn't pick doesn't matter. He just got a good sound.
There's something about starting a fast picked run with legato that lets your brain get synced up to the tempo before starting up the pick motion. Yngwie does this a lot too.
Lol! Paul is simultaneously hilarious and incredibly talented. I love his “I’m happy to show you anything “ attitude. He makes you believe that you can get better!
Looks like Zorg from Fifth Element with Harry Carrey's glasses. And yes im going to unfairly pick on his looks because I cannnot fairly pick on his playing...
@@nfmg2265 Who's exactly the opposite of clean shredding technique and synchronization, LOL. Of course it's sort of an hyperbole but Shawn Lane was quite sloppy and not in Paul's league as a shredder. Amazing musician, writer and player though, no doubt.
Proof that He is HIM. This guy, he's like the leo messi of guitar. Shows up at G3, smoother technique than Petrucci. Hangs with Mr. Big, living that rockstar dream. Then he goes all out into underrated metal stuff with RacerX and Later on, writes these killer pop and hopeless romantic shred tracks about love, but with these mind-blowing solos. What a random legend. He is HIM, has always been
@@hon8177 well, yes, that’s a whole different thing. The best guitarist, in my opinion are instantly recognizable and skillful. My top guitarist are Krantz, Scofield and Beck, in no order, but followed by Frank, Jerry and Jimi. I can’t listen to these technical guys- at all. Watching them perform is another story. These guys inspire me to play and strive to better.
@@hon8177Asato is like a more polished John Mayer(guitarwise) ,you acan hear a lot of Larry Carlton in Mancuso's style and Guthrie is Guthrie... So they all have feel imo just different from what you are used to maybe 😁
One of the most underrated tools is palm muted legato. Even if it’s only slightly palm muted, it still has enough percussive attack to trick the listener’s brain into thinking there’s some picking happening.
GOAT of guitar yes, but under appreciated? PG is rightfully revered and recognized by the guitar's community as one of the very best ever, so i don't see how he may be underrated.
My band did shows with Racer X back in the 80s and they were incredible to watch. I heard rumors about Paul Gilbert and the power drill and sure enough.
Paul is one of the nicest guys I ever met. Once filmed an interview with him outside the Ibanez Festival in Germany. He was so down to earth and fully immersed in what he was doing. Such a great soul of music.
He really is. I met him while he taught at GIT when a friend was going there and he landed me his dubbing deck and a bag of demo tapes from a bunch of bands he had been.
First time I heard racer x was around 1990 when my brother was going wheels up to GIT. Then I got to meet the man while visiting, met Billy Sheahan (my idol) and many others!
Not picking the last 2 descending notes on the higher string allows Paul to avoid the dreaded "inside picking" scenario when crossing strings and start with a downstroke on the lower string. Nonetheless, it still achieves a very unique sound that isn't purely mechanical.
Paul is the GOAT. I love many guitarists. But he was the first I saw as a massive inspiration. Someone who believes in the craft, makes it part of him, and is so kind, and humble (mostly) lol. I don't think he's showing off for the sake of it.
One of the pioneers of modern shredders. Hats off to Blackmore, Moore, and Sykes for establishing nitro blues style , but Yngwie , Vai , and Mr. Racer X raised the bar on modal and sweep shredding. We’re off to Burger King
Those who did not watch the whole video of Pablo Gilberto are missing a lot, those "Modern Guitarists" that most kids are so crazy about do nothing but subtle bragging and do not teach you anything
Seems like Horse 🐎 Year Men are usually very good Guitarists . Let's take a Look at some famous ones Jimi Hendrix Paul McCartney George Lynch David Lee Roth Dimebag Darrell Paul Gilbert Zakk Wylde Jeff Waters
