I don't know if anyone else notices this but this is the only video that shows Paul playing Scarified with the camera focused directly at his hands the entire time. If anyone wants to see how Paul plays Scarified, this video is by far the best for practice and slowing down. I think the camera man deserves an award.
Yes but Paul really altered/slowed down the solo, so it's kind of disappointing and not very accurate. This 1987 video, although somewhat out-of-focus, seems to focus on PG and BB when they solo: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iOW_-OESnq0.html
@@RecoveringReporter - That makes it easier to slow it down and see how he's actually playing it then. No point in seeing his fastest version filmed with a low quality camera that's 50 feet away. This version is a far better one to learn and practice, once you've mastered this song, then you can challenge yourself to see if you can keep up with the fastest version. Besides, you can always speed up this version and make far faster than the old live one.
+TruthSurge I can tilt my guitar any way - upside down, or inside out...I will never be able to to anything like that. My fingers are just not long enough :/
For all the little handed people doubting yourselves to play this song. Look up 11 year old Anton Oparin playing Scarified. If his "then" little boy fingers can play this song very accurately. So can you.
Funny thing thought, Paul himself says he doesn't play at 100% because if you need to speed up a little you won't have room, so he plays at around 80% to 85% potential just in case he has to step on the gas he'll have plenty of potential. I play at 100% all the time and it's still not good enough, Paul doesn't play at full potential and he's still at God tier level. I'm raging with envy.
GoSTeX - Fun | Gaming Exactly ! They are perfect ! Everbody is talking about his alternate picking, but I think I like him even more for his bends and vibratos!
Guess what happened in our guitar heads when we got this song on a record inside of Guitar Player magazine 1988/89. One of this guitar moments one lived through.
Excellent !!! His picking technic is always, for me, the best and so perfect....he can change sound by whanging just a little th picking attack angle to bruch or to cut...or falt...I m rellay scared by all the job during all these years....and to always see him so simple and cool.. Great musician and human being...
Has anyone noticed that whatever amp Paul plays through, whether its a Marshall, Laney, Boogie. He sounds exactly the same? He's playing through a Road King in this video. AMAZING!!! If thats not pure mastered technique then i don't know what is.
They do its true,don't get me wrong even people with below average/smaller hands can get just as good as this technically and even in general shredding/hand/picking speed,but I think its fair to state that those with large hands and very long fingers like Gilberts Pinky for example definitely have a legit advantage over others for sure, He still puts in just as much practice time as anyone, if not more!,but it's likely that he was able to do more complex patterns/movements/arpeggios etc quicker and more efficiently with greater speed earlier and quicker than say someone with little girly man hands could lol.
Damn 2007 days haha im just only 7 at that time i start play guitar at 11 years old i lately discovered paul Gilbert around 2015 2016 i guess in teen ager days
I see Paul is using a Mesa Boogie Road King there. Sweet amp, but i think Rivera are the most underrated amps. And before someone say Mesa Boogie are the best, i would like to point out that Paul Rivera made amps for Mesa Boogie. Check them out!!!
You should listen to PG talk about how he played for the first several years. Its hillarious how bad he said he was in the beginning. He must have had a very good teacher at University.
1,5 are played which leaves modes completely out because minor nor major really exsists when the 7th or ,3rd is not added.i went to git with gilbert and assure you he transposed minor to major and starts his scales off all major related keys.saying i play in gmajor start a solo on a gmajor chord play a 5 4 back to 1 "gmajor" and resolve on a 5th or a gnote even e note is correct when your speaking of modes which are scales within scales.but modes are based on the chord progression in that key.
Just lightly touch the string [don't fret it] on the third fret of the D string. He usually picks it from the other side of the string [closer to the nut] but I'm reasonably sure it'll work from either side. He might have gotten the A# harmonic in there too, for that you'd have to get the 3rd fret of the G string when you pick the harmonic.
I'd be happy if I could just play the main riff perfect! I have a hard time stretching my fingers for the 5-7-9 runs on the first two strings. It sounds muddled then I get the 6-7-9 on the D string perfect lol.
