I met Paul in the late 80's at the Country Club in Reseda California. He was a teenager and was wise as a Harvard professor. Very kind. All of Racer X were super cool. All the guys in Mr. Big are very humble. R.I.P. Pat Torpey. I still have the cassette and booklet. Both are worn out .
i remember i have to pay like 25dollar for his pirate video back in late 90 in my country indonesia.... nowdays people really easy to get access to learn stuff from youtube... great though
I highly recommend watching the whole instructional video..when I was 17 I learned basically everything on this and it led me down an awsome path.It feels like hes teaching you 1 on 1 in this video.pauls a fantastic teacher and keeps you focused with his charisma..thank you Paul you have been a great inspiration not only as a musician but as a person.
“Let’s say good morning to our left hand” lol I love Paul’s sense of humor. The jokes just write themselves rewatching this. But not in a laugh AT it kind of way.... in a laugh WITH Paul kind of way. Honestly Paul’s happy fun vibe comes across in his music more than any other guitarist I can think of... Racer X , Mr. Big all have a high energy fun positive vibe to them where you can just feel the musicians playing the music are having a great time together doing it. Paul’s positive fun vibe is the biggest reason I still enjoy listening to Racer X, Mr. Big and his solo stuff. And on that note his solo stuff at times is the best work he’s ever done. A few of his solo songs are really enjoyable to listen too even for non Guitarists. Not an easy feat to write instrumental music like that. Most solo work from guitar players is far from there best work from someone listening’s perspective. It might be a technical masterwork but usually not a fun listen. All of Paul’s best and most technically impressive playing always somehow manages to be very entertaining to listen too. Always felt PG deserves so much more credit for that unique aspect to his music.
Maybe. But if you are trying to say that Paul is Bucket you are wrong. Look at the size of the fingers and height of Bucket. It's bigger in all senses than Paul.
@@AlejandroShredderDJ It sure is. I still have the VHS tape of this. All of the tabs are simple. The phrases are really simple. To see. To play up to speed? Not so much!
0:20 I don't understand why the 7th on the g-string also is done with a downstroke. The moment the 7th gets played your plectrum is in position for an upstroke. All of sudden an easy exercise becomes hard. I don't expect Paul Gilbert to answer himself. Maybe someone else can explain it?
I think it’s just his picking habit. And also he’s not an ‘economy’ picker, he’s more of a cross picker. The lick at 2:10 also played with cross picking. I find it much easier just to drag the pick down to high e string instead of doing it ala PG.
@@iganpparamarta8813 Thanks for your answer. I like to do things the right way and I suppose that's what Gilbert showing here. But he makes a simple lick this way very difficult. Off course there's a logic behind it. I mentally split this lick up in two parts, this first four and the second four, as if the parts don't belong to each other. Than it works out better. But still it takes a lit of practice.
Aristotelezz I’m sure you know the string skipping lick from Scarified. PG said he can easily do it because of that particular picking pattern. And one thing, if you find playing the 7th with upstroke then practice it that way. IMO the only strict rule for picking is the alternate picking. Other than that you can use any pick orientation, sweep, etc
@@iganpparamarta8813 I'm not that familiar with Paul Gilbert's music, I shall take a look ta Scarified. You mean to say to play this lick with strict alternate picking, with off course the hammers on and pulls offs excluded. That would make life a lot easier...
In 2003 I stumbled on a pirated copy of this lesson, it was a VCD version. Was pissed when the cd was damaged and couldn't be played. Thank goodness youtube came and all those pirated VCDs of 80s guitar lesson are now available and only a click away
When I first saw these tapes it was like another language. Looking back it's because these absolutely are not beginner lessons. You need to know your scales and notes across the fretboard. He's just teaching you how to harmonize and shred using scales. He uses that a lot in the Second Heat album. If you know your notes across the board and your scales, he's helping you get a more Racer X shred style out of some simple patterns
The exercise at 3:40 is very difficult. It need to roll our finger. Is there anybody can help me out with that one? My ring and pinky finger is a nightmare for that exercise.
@@dinozaurgabi553 and why am i a dumbass, harish is PROVING my point, who cares if u have small sausage fingers, just practice. fuckin idiot, please look at the mirror and see who's the incel
i play guitar since almost 7 years ago, i practice about 1 - 2 hours a week and i can do that, but it's really hard on the first two strings with the pinky finger part, metronome is doing wonders to me to be able to play that.
Please don‘t kill me😂 When i practise this with the Metronome. So the first note is my 1. but on which note does the 1st lick end? I would be very delighted to get some help.
@@paulallenscard8553 Hey there. Thank you very much. My question was not so precise. Do you count the notes as 16th? The first four notes on beat one and the next on beat two. Like that? All the best
@@Joj1n Yes, exactly. Four sixteenth notes equal one quarter. So in 4/4 time every group of four 16ths takes the space of one beat. 4 beats per measure, 1/4 note gets one beat. Each beat can be divided into other groups as well. Just as long as they fit in the space of that beat. Two 8th notes, four 16th notes, eight 32nd notes, etc. However, you're not limited to exact divisions of notes. Triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets, etc. can be crammed into the space of one beat provided you have the proficiency to do so, and keep the rhythm. Groups of seven 16th notes in 4/4 time can be notated as 7:16 under each beat to instruct the player to cram that many notes into each beat. So for a measure in 4/4 where you would normally be playing sixteen notes (4 groups of 4) you would now be playing 28 notes (4 groups of 7) in the same space of time. It gets even more complex when you start mixing it up beyond equal numbers of notes per beat. Rhythm is all about division and timing. It can be very simple, or extremely complex. Imagine trying to incorporate 16th note quintuplets into 13/8 time in one measure and then 1/8 note triplets in 5/4 in the next measure, and keep alternating between the two every other measure.
It's the mighty Telesavalas, possibly my favorite Ibanez of all time, a custom model made for PG in the late 80s... Believe it or not the name is a sort of a tribute to actor Telly Savalas...
I like that the tabs are handwritten.

Let’s say good morning to our left hand.
Oh, yeah I already did that this morning. Twice actually.
Alternate
pick when you change strings? so i pick once a month.. thats a lot legato man.
Hahaha
Now that's what I call economy picking.
I smeelllll pussy
I'll only be picking once a year then!
@@MrBiggysmalls87 Wash your finger.
i remember i have to pay like 25dollar for his pirate video back in late 90 in my country indonesia.... nowdays people really easy to get access to learn stuff from youtube...
great though

Thn 2003 saya beli VCDnya cuma 30rb-an. Tapi belum 1 bulan sdh rusak 🤣

"now, for this next part of this song, you need a pinky finger which is 2 meters long"
This guy probably got a lot of action from the ladies. Hot hands!
He is still just as terrifying today.
He forgot to tell you it might take 3 or 4 years to pull.those notes off.lol
depends on how often and how effectively you practice
2:10 - the proof of being the master of Buckethead
I highly recommend watching the whole instructional video..when I was 17 I learned basically everything on this and it led me down an awsome path.It feels like hes teaching you 1 on 1 in this video.pauls a fantastic teacher and keeps you focused with his charisma..thank you Paul you have been a great inspiration not only as a musician but as a person.
I agree! These are the teachers that inspire their love for music and the guitar.
This will take a while to pull off
I'll be ready for that in 15 years
Only pick when changing strings, that's the best bit advice ever to play Gilbert Shred, thank you.

When I was ready to learn, the teacher appeared!
When Paul plays it slow, I'm like this isn't too bad, I got this. But then he let's it rip and I'm like, give me a few years.
2:30 Buckethead Nottingham Lace lick.
Maybe. But if you are trying to say that Paul is Bucket you are wrong. Look at the size of the fingers and height of Bucket. It's bigger in all senses than Paul.
UltimateJgx im saying that its Paul Gilberts signature lick. Buckethead plays it too.
BrianBerowski Paul taught buckethead if I’m not mistaken.
PG was Buckethead's most influential teacher, almost all his shred's licks are borrowed from Gilbert, just not as clean and fast...
BH lick?
Tf is wrog with you,BH stole almost every lick of Paul
Such a sick guitar!
Talk about fluidity. The man is unstoppable
Yeah I'm just gonna go back to bed...
😂me too i saw this and thought okay this must be easy
This video was uploaded in 2013...
TH-cam in 2020: let's put it in recommendations
And?
?
It's WAY older
@@AlejandroShredderDJ It sure is. I still have the VHS tape of this. All of the tabs are simple. The phrases are really simple.
To see.
To play up to speed?
Not so much!
Do you play guitar? I'm more than happy this was in my recommended.
Thanks so much for improving the quality of the original video!! Now is a little more pleasant to watch it!!
lol, Paul is something else, seems so out of palce from that 80s metal skene. Love him
Lmao he was the happiest person in the world, look at his face haha
Axl is that who....lets jam some time.
Cocaine...
Why don't you just.........fuck off
Slash plays solo
I wish I had that kind of power lol
If I could play like him I'd be the happiest person in the world too
what the fucking good tutorial
I like how he said "It will sound like this..." Well Paul, I tried it and no, no it did not sound anything like that, lol
Boom, Watching this in Corona 2020 , never tried to learn from Watching someone paul Gilbert is possibly the greatest player ever
OMG! Thank you for unlocking that door for me. You just let me in a bank vaul. God bless you man!( Tears of joy(
His shirt rules 😂
Looks like Buckethead the image on his shirt look closer
Paul Gilbert predicted the invention of TH-cam so he made this video long time ago.
Jong Bagayao and he also predicted that many would ask for tabs so he had it put on the bottom of screen 😃
i trained 5 years every day to get that speed and STILL am not able to do it that fast.i can go fast but this guy is just way to good
Exelente!!!! Gracias maestro!!! Me fue de mucha ayuda!!❤️
Paul Gilbert's pinkie transcends space-time continuum
paul innovated the modern guitar playing of today
Eu tinha essa video aula em dvd
0:43 sounds like "Que te amo" solo by "Los inquietos"
The accuracy is so impressive 👏
When you wake up with hard wood 0:07
God always looks after the humble...
3:36 look at the way his ring finger moves
Seems to be dancing
Said good morning to my left hand as soon as I woke up
Decided to go ahead and steal a comment too apparently

His fingers were anatomically born to shred..
That's the longest pinkie finger I've seen
Mr pinky, pinky and the brain 🎶
Voice has always been deep as f***
Proof that Gilbert = Buckethead.
Step 1: get Gorilla hands like Paul Gilbert
Step 2: shred !!

My favourite lesson from him. However, in the first set of licks, I use the dorian mode instead of the aeolian.
more than this
