Professional guitarists, who really work hard at their instrument all of the time - a full time job for both of them - hence, masters! I am always inspired by such talent and skill, so I don't let it get me down. I have to feed the family and put kids through college, and am not nearly good enough to do that playing guitar, but I still have fun! When I retire, I can put more time into it!
I have a great admiration for Paul. I love how he has expanded his playing by getting deep into the blues genre. You don’t see many guitarists change or add to their styles especially later in the game. Paul just plays whatever the hell he wants or whatever fits the narrative of the song or backing being played. He has fun with whatever it is. A true master of the instrument.
Paul is a monster player - adding that slide to his repertoire the past few years has been amazing, he can shred, tap, scorch and burn up the fretboard, and his slide work is so precise, yet soulful, as to have made it another amazing tool in his bag of tricks. I've also been a huge Steve Morse fan for 40 years as well! Paul's also a really nice guy, took some lessons from his rock school at Artist works, and even though I am well past the beginner stage, I learned some useful tips from him.
Even the greatest guitar players have so much fun while playing with Paul. Everybody respects his skills and knowledge yet he's also humble and never wants to outshine others. Amazing playing by both of them.
I always knew Paul was a great player but I love that he gave up the 3 note per string melt your face licks for how he plays now more soulful and just kicking ass
I like how Steve gets a kick out of Paul’s playing! Must be an incredible feel to have some as iconic as Steve watch in admiration. . . Hard to believe but Paul’s play gets better and better!
Both these guys are Fricking Incredible. I wish I could pick like either one of them. I lean towards Steve Morse a little more though. I don't know why just so much crazy feeling.
Saw Paul Gilbert at a club in Pittsburgh when he was 17 just killing Cathedral on a homemade Mighty Mite guitar. Next thing I knew he was in LA doing the Racer X thing. I like his playing now, even more!
I thought the Singer of Greta van Fleet is special for sounding exactly like Plant but apparently a Slide will get you even closer 😂 Also Pauls transitions between Slide and normal playing are so damn seamless, it's crazy!
Steve and Paul are ok guitar pickers at best. I'm better. Shortly after that statement my nose grew a foot long I shat my pantaloons I joined the bullshit Brigade and played Iron Man on my Squire for my mom in my basement bedroom. I'm 50 by the way😖😖😄
I've been wanting the Steve Morse models ported over to the Sterling range for years. Why has this never happened do you think when other artists like Steve Lukather and John Petrucci have Sterling models?
The four pickups and switching more complex and too much for what most players need? A Sterling version of the Y2D maybe a better choice? Personally I love the Morse Standard guitar. Only guitar I truly regret letting go.
Paul's slender figure helps him to wear anything He likes or feels like wearing that day, and still look great, both blessed with that "mojo" few artists have.
These guys lose their ear for tone as they age. Morse was a killer back in the day but his tone here is way oversaturated. The notes don't speak like they used to. Same happened to Eric Johnson among others.
Amazing. Sooo good!!! 2 masters... though i preferred more when Paul had a big hair and more of a rock visual, and used his other PGM Model. Morse = Genius.
Gosh I might buy an Ibanez 'fireman'...it's a fucking tone machine, even with heaps of processing up front. As for Steve, there has to be something about the water in Ohio that creates all these talented musicians. He's killing it here and tight in with Paul all the way.
Steve Morse with that blue Ernie Ball, he's worn the paint off that thing playing those mind blowing licks. What can you say about Paul Gilbert, the man is the student and teacher of the guitar. Always learning & adding to his catalog, while teaching others what he's learned at the same time. Both are amazing musicians.
3:30 I didn't catch the first slide getting put away on the guitar 0:30 . I thought he threw it on the ground. I missed it trying to watch both. At 0:42 he went for the slide but changed his mind. A real professional. I'm thinking that if you learn a section on slide, it might not be so easy playing the traditional way.
