    Paul still loves being a student. It's always so great to see his positive attitude.

      I think cause real masters (as professors -scientists) are in some sense "students" until the end of their life - they still try to learn something new

    This series is just brilliant, not only for the content but also by showing how much love for music a legendary, technically superlative hard rock/metal guitar player still has after all these many years and after all his incredible musical accomplishments.
    Paul Gilbert, shredder extraordinaire, loves the guitar so much he is still going to school in order to grow musically - brave enough to step out of his own gigantic shadow and to really learn from true greats in other musical genres.
    Thanks so much to Paul and everyone else involved!
    Just fantastic and a lesson to all musicians everywhere...

    I love this video! Paul is an amazing guitarist and he has this infectous curiosity to expand his own knowledge of music and guitar styles and he takes you on the journey with him. You can't help but want to try this for yourself, and at the end of the day, isn't that what music is all about. A shared experience using a language we all love and are learning to speak on our instruments of choice. Keep it up Paul! I love these videos.

    Years ago, I guess when the "United States" album was released, I was really bummed and ran across Paul Gilbert's web page, the old one with all the funny photoshops of his head on all the Beatles meeting Ed Sullivan and the like. It really made me laugh and picked up my spirits so I shot off an email thanking him and "just in case you actually read this" asking about the guitar he was playing in the "Barks" video with he and Freddie Nelson jamming to "Pulsar". Paul actually took the time to answer and tell me what guitar it was, where he bought it (I'm not revealing his "secret" lol! ) and telling me that it "is KILLER." Despite also living in Portland I've not seen or talked to him since that exchange but to my mind he showed himself to be a total class act and a decent human being, in addition to being a crusher on the strings! As for Dan, my mom of all people came home with one of his CDs and it was totally badass! I want to say that one of the songs was called "we'll be right back" or something but that was "around" 1988 so a ways back :) I've not seen Dan live, I was a full on metalhead at the time and the Portland metal scene was thriving and providing a good show at least biweekly but I do remember as a young guitarist being blown away by his chops.
