Paul Gilbert Plays The Doors Light My Fire :Guitar Center Sessions 

"This is the best song in the whole world and it's called Light My Fire". -Paul Gilbert at #GCHollywood.

Paul, who knew you were such a Doors fan when I hauled your gear with my cousin Stuart back in Greensburg PA in the early 80s? Robbie would heartily approve! Awesome!

Paul is insane....all those voicings he worked out and he makes it look easy

It's amazing how well his voice works over a wide range covers. What a great musician and good guy.

Mad props to the staying power of Mr. Martini. Monotonous bass lines are such a chore. I'm not sure which is worse, the 9+ minutes here, or on The Who's "Magic Bus". Having been in cover bands that have done both songs, I can feel the sleep inducing repetition coursing through my muscle memory even now. Rock on you magnificent 5 notes of awesomeness!

PG - the most dangerous pinky finger on the guitar! It's truly a pleasure watch this musical genius both play, instruct others and in general, just be a good fun loving human! It never gets old exploring his back catalog thru current releases! Would love to see him in a Michigan gig one day.

Holy shit! So many PG licks in the solo, PG-ish string skipping arpeggios licks, syncopated licks, bending licks, Colorado Bulldog, Bultaco Saturno...So much of Paul's essence.

if this song was in one of paul gilbert albums then it would be the longest solo in history of rock

I'll never get tired watching this video! Wow.....

PG is a beast!!!! His technique and melodic sense are impeccable and his tone, phrasing and timing are all top shelf. This cat is as clean as a whistle and his sense of humour is always entertaining. He reminds me of Greg Koch. If those two ever toured or made a record together it would be a titanic display of skill and laughs. I'd definitely be in the audience for that.

"This is the best song in the whole world, and it's called Light My Fajah"

this man is a god. Best LMF cover ever.

The doors and paul rock !

I have seen may gilbert's videos. But this solo was just amazing... I'm greek and i can't find the appropriate words to describe the exelnce of his guitar art!

this is how jim morrison actually heard the song when they played it live

omg!!!! Love that song, love Paul.. both of them at once.. It's to much for my heart.. THAT"S GOD SMACKINGLY GLORIOUS!

I think his comments and playing through the entire Guitar Center session show his diversity and his personal musical tastes and influences. Who can say they never wanted to know this about such a great artist?

Only Paul Gilbert can make a good song into an AWESOME song!!!

i was lucky enough to see him performing this piece live :)

he never disappoint me :D

Yes paul u nail it again like always

Love the lick at 6:25. Can't believe nobody clapped at the end of the solo...

Best of the best guitarist

5:20 WOW....genius....

I love this man..thank U Paul !

This is lovely

This might be the best played improvised solos i have ever heard.

must be a room full of guitar players. Nobody applauds after the solo!

Paul Gilbert proves once more he is beyond awesome.

There is no player in the world can do a better improvisation in the key of A than paul gilbert !

This is just so awesome!

Learn songs, stand out and rock n' roll. Fuck yeah.

I must say his rhythm and sense of phrasing is on the money and if you are not liking it it's because you are not wanting this type of interpretation. Keys highly missed and through iPad speakers there is no bass!

Freaking brilliant

What a cover!

Fuckin love the Doors. Fuckin love this cover.

The solo pretty much blew my mind

Paul Gilbert are Great!!! yeah.

Couldn't agree more!!! Sometimes less is more! And nothing beats early Doors

totally forgot it was a "light my fire" cover for about 4 minutes xD

At 3:26 : Rock Bottom !

Love the little tribute to Michael Schenker

I think 'light my fire' was just the name and the beginning of the song, after a few minutes Paul takes us to another world with that CRAZYYYY SOLO that transcends the original with all respect and credits to the original, but it was something else, awsome!!!!

It's the best song in the whole world when the Doors play it

wow this guy is fantastic!!!

Super cool!

Wow...wish I could do that. I mean that bass player really tore it up out there!

indeed the best song in the entire world!

This guy is untouchable!

Paul Gilbert does this great tune justice. People with negative things to say miss the point. Good music is all gravy and shouldnt be argued about which is better.

Everytime i listen to this tune after 1:15 i forget morrison, I forget Ray and all i can hear is superb, beautiful music and find myself in different dimension................scientist believed there are higher dimension and paul takes you right there......

soooooooooooooooooooooooo smoooth!!

What a guitar player:):D, Just awesome.

SWEET!!!

Paul Gilbert is a Monster.....!!!!

This is insane !!!

Crazy Paul as always 👍👍👍

Beauty.

5:20 this lick is unbelievably good

This man is a fucking *GOD!*

Paul Gilbert 'genius' rules the best guitar🎸🎼✌😉

between 2:35 and 2:55 really is something else ! thx for sharing

Blazing amazing phrasing!

Paul's fire was lighted for sure... extreme cover! _\m/

absolutely. do it as you feel. hell Pagey dosn't even play his own stuff note for note whilst in-gig.

oh fuck... perfection!!!

freakin' beast

i love you guitar!

2:19 !!!! I love that sound~!

This guy Is the best Pretty cool cover as well..

this really ignited MY fire;)

@jimistephen Im pretty sure the hum cancelling pickups are supposed to sound and look like single coil pickups but are two coils stacked and they cancel eachother out like humbuckers so it gets rid of the single coil hum

PAUL GILBERT SOS LO MASSS !!! AGUANTEEEE VIVA TU MUSICA!

tres bon technicien a la guitare ce Paul !

It's not a solo competition! The feeling is gooooone....

Great vid..!the only it's missing is Billy Sheahan...and a drill?

What songs he can't play with his guitar? Paul is just too awesome

@mmaier2112 I believe they are called "Hum Canceling" not "Humbucker", they are single-coils, with a weaker magnet than most, so they don't hum. it doesn't change the fact that it is still a single coil pick-up.

With pleasure

Pg tone is mind-blowing

Got damn!!!

genius!!!!!

AMAZING SPEED........The fastest I ever seen.....BY FAR !!!

I can't hate on 'For the Love of God' though, that is a total gem. Paul just has a completely different feel. Man, I cant believe I missed his clinic here, damn it. He slipped in under the radar...never again!!

Grrrrrrrreat!!!!!!

So many tasty licks in there..

Are those Cerwin Vega's I'm seeing? Some of the first speakers I ever bought.

@tsubasa1988 did ya catch the "Lights out" part in the start of the solo?

This song feels so empty without Ray's keyboards

mantaaappp...lag kesukaan c neng..hihihiihi...bang morisson...

@JustunLivae This is in Am or at least that is what I´ve heard. The pick pattern is kind of Van Halen "aint talking bout love" thingy with a mix of Gilberts "constant" picking in "marine layer" if you know what I mean. The verse is in Am, BM-something-but-it´s-B and the ref has some chords I do not know the names of sorry.

well said

Oh my god, maybe one of the best electric guitarist in this world.....

for me The best guitar ever!!!!!!!

2:50 !!! SENSACIONAL

Toca bien, PEEERO! Le dio en toda su madre a la cancion,

at least a version of this song without keyboard that sounds great =D i cant wait for the tabs XD

JIM WOULD HAVE LOVED IT! AWESOME!!!!!!!!

I liked it, It's not the same but I liked it.

The bass player is very appreciated!! :D
