21:52 SUCH A PRO MOVE! Distracts us with a pick scrape, comes back with a slide!!!! That was awesome!!! Best attitude, best chops... Damn! Love that Paul Gilbert!
And yet he looks like a miserable prick that's bored out of his mind. Worst interviewer I've seen in a while. When you're interviewing someone, it's not too much to ask that you don't murder-face your way through the interview.
@@martinrusso409 you know, I still watch this video sometimes. I loved every second of it :) Like everyone else I just got lost in listening to everything he said. My brain constantly trying to come up with something to add or compliment what he was saying. But there was just no need, really. Paul Gilbert just ran with it and there was no reason for me to interrupt him :-)
@@larsfrederiksen3005 Hey Lars, if it really is you then I apologize. I take back what I say about you not enjoying Paul. I'm really glad you were enjoying his presence like we enjoyed the video. However, I will maintain that your role in the video is sorely lacking because you barely contributed any info of value and had practically no reaction to what he said and did. It's 99.9% dominated by Paul. It might as well just be him explaining his rig without an interviewer. Even saying something like "that lick was great" or your tone was awesome would have contributed something more. It just feels like you had no reaction. Compare that to the videos he's done with JHS. Their chemistry is way better.
MojoMojo is the first OD Pedal wich satisfied me. So i run 2 on my pedal board 😆 no need for another OD. Totaly underrated pedal. Best tone for less money.
Same here! I actually got mine in large part because of Paul and it just sounds great. I use it in the same way cause I play a lot of small gigs and I don't have a car so I'm often using the venue's equipment. So as long as I can get an Ok clean sound from whatever amp they have, I throw on the mojo mojo and I have my sound.
Paul Gilbert is a classy guy. Easy to approach, humble and full of great stories. I love his no nonsense approach to tone, it just makes sense. The collaboration between TC and Paul is epic!
Love the way Paul takes over the interview and it becomes a teaching opportunity :) Paul is so open and willing to share his knowledge, such a cool guy.
"You know you found a good pedal when you start playin' better".. so true.ha, ha...love Paul Gilbert..hes freakin funny and seems like a good dude..Thanks Paul, yer the man..
Paul Gilbert is like the most relatable Rockstar ever, he's literally just like any of us guitar geeks, like a kid in a candy store with his enthusiasm. One of my heroes for sure.
I love that Paul likes to test out wacky ideas. Like that Tremolo idea that totally didn't work. God bless him for showing us that it's ok to try new things!
I was just mentioning Paul Gilbert at band practice last night. Quite frankly, he is one of the coolest humans that happens to be a guitar god on this planet. Keep being you Paul, you are an inspiring human! :)
Every year that passes, Paul Gilbert turns more and more into an eccentric uncle. Like, he's five years away from hosting a children's science program. What a legend.
The thing I always notice about PG is he never seems dissatisfied with his sound. I mean, he just loves to play and he's so flexible that he will make it work and put himself into it no matter what. Every sound motivates him to play something cool.
I remember watching PG in the REH vid. Thinking to myself, I’ll never be able to play that fast. Always a cool dude, constructing a killer tone. You sound much better as the years go by.
Became a ridiculous fan during the initial Racer-X years; then found out Paul could walk around the house nailing every Beatle's tune ever penned- and that his true wheelhouse is far removed from just shredding. Not many cooler Guitar demi-gods out there. I am definitely not worthy. Nice vid, TC- all notifications on.
Paul Gilbert is like everyone's cool nerdy uncle or something, who teaches you all sorts of interesting stuff and occasionally things that your parents wished he hadn't.
P. Gilbert, what a cool dude! When he came out in the early days he scared anyone trying to learn to play guitar...now he speaks, and that is a good thing
The Spark is such a sleeper pedal. I think everyone gets the mini for the booster, price and momentary switch, which is so good, but I’m glad to see the big one used as an overdrive in this video. it sounds great on top of the mojomojo
A master amongst masters. Watching him go about his craft is such a treat. He blows you away with his virtuosity, and yet speaks about music in such an accessible way.
Had a chance to meet Paul at a guitar clinic 20-25 years ago or there about, absolutely one of the nicest guys ever. He was a one man band, even back then just blew me away and I've been a fan ever since. Just amazing what he does! Love the old Racer X stuff and Mr. BIG.
Paul I will NEVER forget the "LANEY AMPS ARE AWESOME!!" time. I actually LOVE the sound of a straight up Laney tube amp and nothin but a verb and delay. Soundin good already!! Bless you bro.
Way back when I was early teen and Paul was in his prime and top of the world. I always knew he was going to persevere above all the rest of those days. Such a down to earth straight up dude. Thank U Paul for all these years of amazing music and virtuosity!
I like Paul Gilbert. He's full of colorful adjectives when explaining his pedal board sounds and building. He's like the architect of pedal boards. Like a kid in a candy store. Paul is a genius. You can't fool us Mr. Gilbert. Behind those glasses we know there is the 80's shredmeister. LOL
I could listen to this genuine Man all day. He has such creativity, and all-around intrest in what he does. I've been listening to his music for years, but whenever I happen to find something new of him, it's like a breath of fresh air. I respect him very much. Rock on!
Cool board build. It's so good watching someone like Paul who you can tell just lives through what they're playing, even the shortest riff he's just in it. If you'll excuse me, I think I'm going to spend several weeks watching this vid in slow motion to try and learn all those licks!
Paul's enthusiasm for knowledge and fun is just infectious in the best way possible. I just saw him last night with my father at the Iridium and it was just an uplifting experience in an otherwise stressful time of life. We were right in front of his rig (JTM45 into a 4x12) and it was loud but not painful, just amazing tone. Thank you TC and PG for all the great tones!
the rusty fuzz was the first pedal i ever bought (i’m new to this!) and now that my pedal collection has grown, i’m continuously amazed how good it sounds compared to all sorts of other gain stages i use. And for the price, truly unbeatable.
Paul is officially that grandpa that LOVES to share EVERYTHING that he knows and loves! This man is amazing! Lars looks lost the entire video lol or just astonished? intimidated by Paul's aura? lol
Loving the Vanhalen verb and delay-into-dirt thing here. That's fun. And good call on the Pipeline, I love that pedal. Ended a longstanding search for a trem that I bonded with: it's so freakin' choice. I might have to pick up a Spark to play with. :)
I always knew Paul's an amazing guitarist as his guitar tone, but as time goes by, I found he's just a good human being. Warm, humble hearted professional man. I never knew the time comes when I not only get inspired by good guitar tone, but also by a good human voice. Thanks Paul, you'll always be my hero. Oh, and by the way Lars, I could never be that poker-faced and calm like you, if someone next to me shred like that. cheers.
Awesome I love TC Electronics I have the Zues and traded a few things and a Crescendo pedal for an Arena reverb pedal so my board is small lol but will be smokin in a few days wish I had a Good TC Delay Or Fuzz down the line I will Rock On!!
I run pretty much the same way Paul does, but I do use the effects loop and I have built a special 3 tier pedal board that its really simple to just plug in the effects loop to you amp and one cable to the front of the amp and plug your guitar in. Very simple! My pedal board is made of yellow pine that I dyed and clear coated. Its badass!
Is there a pedal that makes me play as well as Paul Gilbert? If so, I'll have 37 of them please.... Great video. Really enjoyed the tones and performance 🤟🏼
The first time I saw Paul live with Mr. Big was in November of 89. It was on their first club tour so I was right up front digging it all. It happened to be Paul's 23rd birthday and during his solo Billy, Eric and Pat (RIP) snuck up behind him and smashed a birthday cake over his head so he had to play the rest of the show covered in cake. Unfortunately he didn't hangout after the show (he had to get cleaned up) but Eric and Pat stayed for drinks with a few of us. Good times. Paul's amazingly talented but at the same time he never stops learning... and he's real descent person at the same time. 🤘🤘🤘
Great vid and awesome sounds! Great to see/hear how Mr Gilbert likes to tweak things. That Mojo Mojo pedal has always been on my radar thanks to Paul - incrediblé!
Wow, Paul is such an amazing player, one of my favorite guitar players. I remember the first time I've seen him playing "Technical difficulties": I wanted to throw my guitar away. Luckily, I'm still playing 😁 I hope I'll win 🤞🏻
Paul Gilbert says "the pedal is good if you start to play better" - that's something I MUST remember.
Always acts like a kid in candy store, Paul’s enthusiasm is infectious and makes you want to play. Fun post!
Paul is somehow both Marty McFly AND Doc Brown all at once.
Great scott !!!
Precisely.
😂😂
With the voice of Jeff Goldblum
That's heavy
“Loud with the texture of a whisper”, something only Paul can explain ❤️
Paul Gilbert - the nicest guy in music. What a player!!
21:52 SUCH A PRO MOVE! Distracts us with a pick scrape, comes back with a slide!!!! That was awesome!!! Best attitude, best chops... Damn! Love that Paul Gilbert!
A great storyteller. An amazing teacher. A humble hero. Warm greetings from Indonesia.
I always appreciate Paul explaining the "why" when he teaches or explains how or what he's doing. Thanks Paul!
Yup, he's great at that, very transparent as well, no ego either
Me: How many guitar faces you can do?
Paul: Yes
All of them.
So many he has to use a bucket to hide some of them. Because he is a cheeseball.
Now just waiting for Paul Gilbert to visit That Pedal Show.
ME TOOOOO!!!!!
Paul: *uses plenty of words like humans do*
Lars throughout the entire 20 min: “Yeah”
I can't blame Lars though. I'd probably do the same thing; just sit back and let Paul do most of the talking.
Lars finally realizes Paul is funny about 20 minutes in!
A good interviewer lets the guest do the talking... So yeah 😄👍
Paul is the Jeff Goldblum of guitar 😂
@Forallofus Plenty Do you mean trans species? Cause...
I had this exact thought watching this!
@@utilitybeltfx ditto
Mo Shaw - very close ! Good call
Ah man i just commented the same thing and THEN saw this comment :((
Lars, a personal Paul GIlbert concert from 2 feet away...not a bad job to have.
And yet he looks like a miserable prick that's bored out of his mind. Worst interviewer I've seen in a while. When you're interviewing someone, it's not too much to ask that you don't murder-face your way through the interview.
@@MFKR696 Spot on comment. He looks like he doesn't give an absolute shit about what Paul is saying or playing

I could watch anything featuring Mr. Gilbert, such a great teacher without the ego.
“Loud with texture of a whisper.” Mr. Gilbert, you are so wise and eloquent.
Kevin Swedlow excellent at getting the sound in his head to our ears......
I love listening to Paul . The combination of a great guitarist , your best buddy and the enthusiasm of a little kid!
Paul is the man. So much respect for him. Love that he uses the Mojo Mojo. It's my main go to.
MojoMojo is the first OD Pedal wich satisfied me. So i run 2 on my pedal board 😆 no need for another OD. Totaly underrated pedal. Best tone for less money.

Yeah and he keeps betting better in classic blues/rock.
Love the way Paul takes over the interview and it becomes a teaching opportunity :) Paul is so open and willing to share his knowledge, such a cool guy.
"You know you found a good pedal when you start playin' better".. so true.ha, ha...love Paul Gilbert..hes freakin funny and seems like a good dude..Thanks Paul, yer the man..
He is slowly but surely becoming my favorite guitar player EVER.
Paul Gilbert is like the most relatable Rockstar ever, he's literally just like any of us guitar geeks, like a kid in a candy store with his enthusiasm. One of my heroes for sure.
I love that Paul likes to test out wacky ideas. Like that Tremolo idea that totally didn't work. God bless him for showing us that it's ok to try new things!
Please keep making these pedalboard builds with the pros. Many thanks for sharing your insight with all of us Paul.
Love the way Paul has become less shreddy and more soulful compared to the good old drill days.
I was just mentioning Paul Gilbert at band practice last night. Quite frankly, he is one of the coolest humans that happens to be a guitar god on this planet. Keep being you Paul, you are an inspiring human! :)
love how he's both performer and audience of his playing. also the dude just knows what he wants. probably won't change the dials ever again.
Paul Gilbert always a cut above in attitude and playing, we need more like ya
The way Paul went from shred to slide and back to shred without skipping a beat.. Mind Blown..
Paul Gilbert in full-on “Helpful Hints from Dad” mode here. One of my most favorite guitar players ever. :D

Yeah, I did that too, and what a waspy tone that was... Much better here, despite that old tone (and volume) killing off most of his hearing..
Became a ridiculous fan during the initial Racer-X years; then found out Paul could walk around the house nailing every Beatle's tune ever penned- and that his true wheelhouse is far removed from just shredding.
Not many cooler Guitar demi-gods out there.
I am definitely not worthy.
Nice vid, TC- all notifications on.
PAUL AS ALWAYS, SO INVITING , FRIENDLY INFORMATIVE ENTERTAINING, and II got to see and hear him play.
Thank You very much.
Paul Gilbert is like everyone's cool nerdy uncle or something, who teaches you all sorts of interesting stuff and occasionally things that your parents wished he hadn't.
"I always know it's right when I start playing better" I absolutely know and love that feeling when good gear starts bringing out the best of u.
P. Gilbert, what a cool dude! When he came out in the early days he scared anyone trying to learn to play guitar...now he speaks, and that is a good thing

Paul Gilbert has aged so well. How can you not love this guy?
Paul Gilbert has the most engaging teaching style I've ever seen!
Mr. Petrucci and Mr. Gilbert are my two favourite guitar gods of all time
I love that purple Fireman. Wish they made more options for the Paul Gilbert models. Not normally a pointy guitar guy, but it's a great shape!
If I could spend a whole afternoon with Paul while he tries pedals and sounds and riffing, I would be so happy...
I could watch Paul all day - always entertaining and so informative
A master amongst masters. Watching him go about his craft is such a treat. He blows you away with his virtuosity, and yet speaks about music in such an accessible way.
Saw Paul is a small club in Austria a few years ago, stood directly in front of him, still got goosebumps,
Had a chance to meet Paul at a guitar clinic 20-25 years ago or there about, absolutely one of the nicest guys ever. He was a one man band, even back then just blew me away and I've been a fan ever since. Just amazing what he does! Love the old Racer X stuff and Mr. BIG.

Love watching Paul play and talk. Killer.
That slide pick up and put down was the smoothest I’ve ever seen. Learnt some cool things from this, tremolo first and boost last

Paul Gilbert, the best advert for pedals ... he can make any pedal sound magical in couple seconds ... You have to love him
You can tell Paul genuinely loves to play and teach. Always a pleasure to hear what he has to say and play.
Cool board build. It's so good watching someone like Paul who you can tell just lives through what they're playing, even the shortest riff he's just in it.

always learn something from TC's vids. Paul is amazing funny musical.
i know what would go perfect with that purple guitar, a yellow shirt and orange pants!

This pedalboard is exactly what my Stratocaster is yearning for. Awesome playing, Paul! Lots of information here :)
The mojo mojo really is the unsung hero of overdrives. Paul is a beast as always. Lars is a silent killer.
Agreed….. I have one and it’s all I use. LOVE it
I always knew Paul's an amazing guitarist as his guitar tone, but as time goes by, I found he's just a good human being.

That Vicious Vibe sounded outstanding... Been using a deja vibe (full tone) but I need to check that TC out. Very cool interview/demo... Thanks!
Paul, you are so awesome! Thx for this great insightful video!
fantastic player and a even better person.
What a great pedalboard! Lots of tones to use and Paul always has some tasty chops!
The man that inspired me to pick up guitar wayyy before i knew john mayer or srv this man is GOAT
Love this series! I used to watch Gear videos for live setups now and then, but there's so much more "why" in these.
Wasnt interested in fuzz till i saw paul gilbert use it. Always can count on the legend to inspire me
I run pretty much the same way Paul does, but I do use the effects loop and I have built a special 3 tier pedal board that its really simple to just plug in the effects loop to you amp and one cable to the front of the amp and plug your guitar in. Very simple! My pedal board is made of yellow pine that I dyed and clear coated. Its badass!
Mind blown by him, once again in this lifetime!
this is a beautiful video, i love how it starts with the other guy being sceptic about Paul and then he ends up head banging Paul's tones
Every time I hear Paul I am blown away, great player.
Great pedalboard demo. Learnt a lot. Paul certainly knows his stuff. Cheers.
I love the pedals, but I love the player more. Dang tasty intervals and sequences of note choice
One of my favorite guitar players with one of my favorite pedal companies! Awesome video! :D
I have the El Mocambo and the Vibraclone on my board ;)
Paul rocks! He seems fun, and humble. Love Mr Big. I love all the classic rock influences he throws out. Van Halen 1 and such.
that MojoMojo into the Spark sounds beautiful.
Sir Paulo Gilberto! One of my guitar hero and influences!
That is a great sounding setup of pedals. Great video.
Paul plays every note like it owes him money!
I need to watch more Paul Gilbert vids
Is there a pedal that makes me play as well as Paul Gilbert? If so, I'll have 37 of them please.... Great video. Really enjoyed the tones and performance 🤟🏼
37 boss metal zones coming right up
I'm in! (I really need this Vibe and Tremolo)
