Original video: • Paul Gilbert - Guitar ...
Kind of hypnotic when the picstrokes stating to form a melody on their own....
Alone On a Huge Stage with a Guitar with Dry Sound and No Delays... and Be Majestic in Tone Precision and Feeling... what a Guitar Hero.
dry sound ?? are you high right now ??
@@antwonstarr i mean Dry... With No Sparkling Effects as Reverb Flang Chorus that can Cover your Fancy Playing... 😅😅😅 not Dry as a Clean... a
@@antwonstarr seems like you're the one that's "high"
I dunno. Gilbert is a total legend (3:08 - OMFG) but his recorded lead tone has often been poor (IMHO). This is one of the times I've heard him have a bit of meat to his tone and it's just SO much better. His personality always comes through in his playing too.
@@SeaOfMadness i had a Pleasure to have a sort of mini concert guitar clinic with him and 50 people in a Pub and he was 3 meters far from me... and he mesmerize me for an Hour and More with his Sound and Playing ... What a KickAss Player🤟🤟🤟
Yes! I musta watched this solo 50 times, just for the sheer joy of it🐬 In the first section he is pinching and semi pinching so many notes along the way -- just another example of how much understanding he has of tone and dynamics; how much awareness and control he has! And he is sending all that exuberance and joy out to a fully engaged and appreciative audience. What a stellar guitarist-performer!
I will definitely have a go at these licks (at least some of them). While he's technically brilliant, Paul's stuff is easy to follow because he has such a clear rhythm even when unaccompanied.
me too! that string skipping! holy shit.
Yeah, definitely isolating EVERY tiny little piece of everything he's doing... There's some other guitarists that don't seem to have that clear tone that some of the easier playing guitars might mess up! (Ibanez 😁)
Agreed, his note choices aren't odd or complicated it's just that everything else is ridiculous (speed precision stamina)
absolutely. he's cleaner than a nun's fingernails
Yeah ok, goodluck getting pauls speed and cleanness...
3:08 to 3:20 has been stuck in my head since I first heard this back in the early internet days. Its just amazing and gives me goosebumps every time. Wish it was its own song. Thanks for getting this footage to circle back around to me!
It is a part of the guitar solo from "How Can You Do What You Do" .
@@Takk-182 thank you!
dude same! it’s so regal and dark sounding, it’s like some shit dracula would play
Same bro i love to learn that lick
It’s beautiful! So many memories around this solo. Well done, Levi!
Thanks for this Levi. Not only is Paul a phenomenal player but he also comes across as a genuinely nice guy. I've been on his ArtistWorks platform for a couple of years now and he's such an inspiring player/teacher.
True that, PG is one of the best teachers ever...
so glad you transcribed this THANK YOU!!!
Heck yeah, I used to watch this over and over in the early days of TH-cam. The first minute or two is just brilliant
I remember transcribing this way back, so long ago and impressing my friends. Even though I now know that I played a good bit of it wrong. Regardless, it still influenced my playing then and now. Paul's solos are great practice etudes because they're easy to memorize, in my head, and so musical on top of being technically educational. I'm always surprised at how hard he picks. I can't get that kind of speed without picking much more lightly.
This solo blew my mind when I was first learning guitar. I remember seeing this and thinking, guitars can do that?!? I became absolutely obsessed with the guitar ever since.
One of the best solos in general. Nasty playing and underrated rhythm.
Love the shirt Levi! Opened for them and Haken in richmond Va.
Kept in touch with Tom Monda for a while. Another killer player.
I remember this watching as a kid 🥺
Wow, have never seen this clip - crazy good picking, so clean... Thanks for this!
Iconic is definitely the word. Damn I've watched it hundreds of times.
Thanks dude for the tabs, i really appreciate it. I've been looking for these licks with tabs But never found, now i can practice on this video.
Btw i need the next part
I remember my little brother waiting for hours for this to download on KaZaa back in the day. I can't remember exactly, but I know it was after Napster, and before 9 11. He and I were in a PG vs YJM war, and I downloaded a killer YJM acoustic shred video that I haven't seen since (over 21 years). The good ole day's had their perks, and their pains (hours for a vitality bar to load to 100%).
I was expecting this transcription so badly, perhaps including Road to ruin, Mr Big in the title could help to get more views! THANK YOU!!!!!
Amazing stuff! I'd love to see a transcription of the guitar solo Live In Tokyo, Japan 1993!
I know I mentioned this in another video, but can you also do a transcription for Glenn Tipton's solo in All Guns Blazing by Judas Priest? That solo is a monster and alot of people into metal don't know about how great that solo is
I've tried to played that many times before... some parts I canno play because I don't know how to really move the fingers to play some of those arpgs...
ofc I'mma share it with my friends... happy new year, mate
It isn't just that Paul is blazing fast - or that he is technically perfect in scale and time - or that he is able to make his playing so alive , fun and engaging with his audience...all with a contagious smile on his face...it IS that he is SO CLEAN with absolutely NO slop or distortion to cover the slightest miscues ( because there aren't any ) !! The guy is just a STUNNINGLY amazing rock guitar player !!!
no distortion ?? are you mentally ill ?? was your comment meant as a joke ???
Great work as always mr.Clay - thank you!
AMAZING
Effects on minimum. Killer guitar sound and precision playing. Hats of to the lad.
That was just sick,
Those first two parts...the string skipping arpeggios and the quintuplet phrases...I remember hearing for the first time on his Intense Rock I VHS
Man...i feel old!
I could only dream ...
PG taught my guitar teacher.
The things he, Vai etc did set up what Polyphia does now.
amazing.
Racer X - Y.R.O. and Heart Of A Lion (Rob Halford singing the high harmony).
I used to have a c d of PG doing a Hendrix set at some jazz festival ( i think)....just brilliant. Cant get it anywhere now...:(
Oh man I can’t keep up with all these awesome videos!!!
Paul Gilbert is an amazing guitar player. I can hear every single note that he hits is clean.
Gilbert is up there with the best of 'em.
So glad Gilbert matured in his playing. Just sounds like a bunch of practice workouts to me. He's still crazy fast, but is really musical.
In general, I do not understand how you managed to transcribe this. An impossible mission that is not so impossible in the end :) All the best...
Today its sounds like scales lick, training from my guitar lesson, then in 80,90, he was a rock king,
Paul is one of the best guitarist on earth 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
thanks for not having a super noisy mouth on this intro
Paul Gilbert - one of the best ever and just a cool dude
This Jimi Hendrix's solo is cool
Thank you for doing these. I don't have a month to do it.
Some people would say a bunch of string skipping exercises turns into good music. Others may not.
the Tokio solo available also at google
Insane right hand technique. The great Paul Gilbert
loving the shirt
It’s called a six pack.
Part two please!!!
Paul rules it. If you haven’t jammed yet, do yourself a favor and check out United States with PG and Freddie Nelson. Every song is absolutely fantastic. The lead on Last Rock & Roll Star might be his best one. Definitely my favorite from him.
Great record
Great exercise for Alt picking and Beer drinking
Seriously, how do you transcribe so many songs? Is there software for this?
I have the best ears in the business
@@LeviClay if you're doing this all by ear then there's no doubt about it!
@@AmericanNationalist852 it’s pretty easy because I’ve been doing it 6 hours a day every day for almost 15 years!
Check out one of my live streams on TH-cam :)
It's like most skills. You get better at it, the more you do. I'm nowhere near Levi's skill level, but I'm much better at it than when I started.
Scientists have now proven that Paul’s left pinky finger has its own brain.
3:08
I could play this note for note ,if I had a guitar 🎸 and knew how to play it.
the sequenced arpeggios........
Sounds like he's just running warmup exercises
Why Kirk H does not play like him?
Maybe unpopular opinion but for me this solo sounds mainly like guitar practice. There is more repeating single pattern then actual melodic of harmonic meaning in this. For sure he plays impressingly but very predictively.
YES YES YES!
Ask Paul about Shawn Lane.
It's those alien finger implants I tell you!
fair
Please transcribe some Paco de Lucia John Maclaughlin and Al do Meola trio stuff
Paul Gilbert = LEGEND!!!!
He for SURE put his 10,000 hrs. of work in!!!
I can play bar 108
Thank you very much, Mr. Clay. If you see this, I challenge you to do a Redneck Jazz Explosion era-Danny Gatton, because I think you would like doing that.
it's on the list!
@@LeviClay wonderful, did you ever try a DIY magic dingus box?
@@BungleJoogie68 no, but I have a mounting plate for one on my tele 😂
Wicked guitarist but is this solo a tribute to dimebag or
🐎!!!
Psssssst *whispers* intense rock intro….
I'm sorry to disagree, but I don't think this is a solo... it's a consecution of exercises... Mode1 repeat x4, Mode2 and repeat x4 and so...
solo - adjective - done by one person alone; unaccompanied.
so....
@@LeviClay nice try, but you know exactly what I mean...
Nice try. “I don’t think this is a solo” you were pretty clear.
Aw snap, i didn't know Kevin Owens loved guitar :O jk, awesome video lol ❤️😋🤘
The timing, the articulation , the clarity is what is really breathtaking(The speed is also absurd). Also he uses less distortion than the avergae shredder: Insane
Yes all true as you commented, but to me sounds like a boring running off scales uninspiring solo.
@@sevencostanza3931 I think you're not wrong, but this is a show off moment in a concert.
I'd suggest you to go and listen some of his more melodic solo's from the debut album, MR BIG.
"Anything for you" is one of my preferred one, but basically just go for one of the ballads of the band
@@sevencostanza3931 you can always listen to some blues based slow boomer playing
@@TheNathanStars Nah not into blues so much...Donald Roeser, Jake E Lee, David Gilmour, Uli Roth.... so many to list I like better than Paul Gilbert.
@@sevencostanza3931 uli Jon is great, gilmour too(legendary songwriter too) Jake e lee was great. Maybe you don't like PG but you gotta he has superior abilities related to timing, rhythm, dynamic control than those guys, It Is not only the speed and technique. He Is also an underrated songwriter.
Love Paul’s playing, he’s such a killer guitarist and seems like such a nice guy as well… definitely one of the best modern hard rock/metal guitarists of the last 50+ years imo
I learned the first half of this solo during the pandemic and it gave me new appreciation for this man’s stamina as a shredder
i learned the first part.. you know the power chord part.. ha
Seeing this solo back in the days before TH-cam was the catalyst to my guitar obsession. Great job with the transcription, Levi!
How does Levi churn out these transcriptions?!!! It doesn't seem enough time in one life to do it.
20 years ago, when I was playing the guitar daily, I tried to play this solo every day, but I have never found a transcription that sounds like it. 20 years after I finally have the opportunity to play it as it is... but unfortunately I can't play anymore :(
Dude, I know what you say. As a 60 year old practicing musician and a former elite triathlete, I had a covid related stroke last year and my playing is not the same. What's your story...?
@@stevenjones6780 I am sorry to hear that Steven, hope you get well soon. Actually, I haven't had any issues, just a lack of motivation and job takes 70% of my time, I still have my guitars, but they are cover in dust by now
@@marcelloperri183 Thanks for that. Maybe you could dust them off and get what I like to call: "second time around syndrome". That's a positive thing where you pick it up again (purely on your terms of endearment), and somehow the technical side of things just sort of fills itself in almost as if you never stopped. If you were once at that level of artistry, I'd bet the art form has continued to gestate. If I can reinvent myself then you can too!!! Blessings bro...
@Steven Jones these are the comments that should get the most likes - not another of the never ending smart ass attempts at being witty. I'm older myself and I can't Believe how many people have returned to music (all of my former band mates except one). What's grabbed my attention is all the little signs that a return to traditional music where bands play their own instruments and have a singer. Singing will never die.Rap has carved itself a permanent place in the music scene but its kind of where rock was in the 2000s basically they ran out of ideas a while back and there run through the entire evolution of the genre front to back , back to front, and sideways and there isn't anywhere else for them to go. I guess we will find out .
Thank you for this awesome transcription. Excellent as always. PG was a huge influence on me to improvement and practise to become better. So many signature stuff in this solo. Fabulous teacher and down to earth person. I had the opportunity to attend his masterclass at the Ibanez Summit and it was mind blowing as usual.
Might be my first ever TH-cam comment, The work you're putting in for these videos daily is insane, highlight of my day, thanks so much, deserve a million plus subs. cheers pal!
you know how you can help me get a million subs? Comment more! :P
@@LeviClay There is a scammer here
His solo album, "Werewolves of Portland" is absolutely incredible!!! He does ALL of the instruments on it. He is one of the best rock guitarist alive!
Fucking brilliant dude. It gives me the same chills today that it did back in my high school days. Once it hits they string skipping section, ooooof.
When I first heard the full live solo of this, it was monumental for me. Listened to it like every day for months. The precision and clarity while doing it live was epic!!
His vernon tapes are amazing. He recorded himself practicing and warming up before rehearsal with Racer X. It even blows him away when he listened to them again. Check it out on TH-cam
Basically every PG lick rolled into a solo, very convenient, thanks Levi!!!!
Not crazy about this one, but I do envy those long, thin fingers (rather than these Vienna sausages I'm stuck with).
Sounds like exactly what it is, technique practice, really boring too be honest.
Is he mostly playing finger exercises? Yes. Is it musical as all get out? Also yes. There's beauty in symmetry.
YES! This one was awesome! Thanks a lot Levi! There is another one I have been waiting for: "Kirk Hammet Guitar Solo In Seattle 1989"
Absolutely loved it !
You should do No boundaries next ! By M.A.B
I like Paul Gilbert and for that reason I'm going to give you a like!!!!!young padawn....
One of my favorite and one of the very best 80's shredder and rock guitarist. Paul has everything: speed, melodic control, fun, passion. He's a very clear and very "musical law abiding" player, everything is spot on and doesn't deviate from the rules, when it's Pentatonics, everything is perfect pentatonics, unlike Mr.Govan who is a notorious "law breaker" always trying to play "wrong notes" outside the box.😅 Hahaha (pun intended)😉
Love Paul Gilbert! The world would be a better place if there were more people like him.
The great PG, still one of the most soulful, musical, and hilarious electric guitar artists of all time. His playing always makes me feel good and gives me something useful...
I'm so old I remember when Paul Gilbert was teaching class and started racer x. I still have the vinyl album
Wow, I love PG and all, but this seems to be just a collection of repetitive finger exercises. I saw him a couple years ago with Steve Vai after the NAMM show, and he was phenomenal.
Levi, can you play this lick yourself? this lick is extremely difficult to perform.
the problem with Gilbert is that everything he plays sounds like an exercise
He's a beast! I love guitarists with a diverse background like Paul Gilbert. Eddie Van Halen opened the door for Classically influenced rock musicians, even though Van Halen doesn't sound "Neo-Classical" by any stretch.
EVH opened the door for EVERYBODY .
open challenge - ask him to play cavatina he won't be able to
He was Bucketheads teacher. He's got decent chops. 😳
He needs a haircut though. Very scruffy looking individual. Would never pass muster looking like that.
