I met Paul back in the late 80’s at a clinic he did. After it was over he hung out and spoke to fans. He just kept on staying and I wasn’t about to leave. Lol He asked me if there was much to do in this town and I said, this is pretty much it. He sat there and just played his guitar and shot the bull. Nicest guy ever. It turns out Paul was as big a fan of Eddie Van Halen as everyone else was. It was stunning to me at the time, because Paul could clearly blister the frets off of the guitar and it was all so tasteful. But he just kept geeking out over Eddie and played pretty much every Eddie riff and solo right there like it was his greatest joy. That was just the best, he’ll never know what he did for us few there that evening. This was right before Mr. Big came out, so I’m thinking 1987 or so. Great memory of an amazing musician and person.
Paul Gilbert is a gift to humankind. Paul, if you're out there.. know that`you're appreciated more than you will ever know. You are an inspiration not only on guitar but as a person.
Paul Gilbert is the best teachers out of all of the guitar masters. These other guitar prodigies can't teach. Watch their teaching videos sometime. Paul is the best at that. He knows music theory so very well and he can describe things to you as if you are a beginner and just learning for the first time, even if you are an intermediate player. He never talks down to his students. He's always nice and polite.
burnindownthehouse This is exactly what I love about Paul Gilbert. I love Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Tony MacAlpine and all them, but Paul Gilbert is like the mad genius scientist with a heart of gold. As you said, he knows music theory, breaks everything down but can build it back up with passion, soul and a whole lot of love, as well as having a lot of fun with it, like watching a kid on the playground; and that's what's so incredible about Gilbert! The only other guy I can think of that's like him, isn't even a guitar player: Jordan Rudess.
+burnindownthehouse Gilbert is a good teacher. Michael Angelo is also a good teacher. His DVDs Speed Kills and Speed Lives are among the most helpful instructional videos I'v ever come across. Recently however, there has been one man to come along who has completely revolutionized the way guitar technique is explained and taught - Troy Grady. His "Cracking The Code" and "Masters In Mechanics" series are priceless!
My only complaint about Gilbert's teaching is he has a tendency to try to be a comedian and he's not one or at least not a good one. He actually had cheerleaders chanting for him on one of his instructional videos. It was embarrassing. You'd never see Yngwie pull that shit.
He's probably the best at guitar couch and teaching by far. Because he can always simplify what sounds complicated, and as usual he break it down part to part clearly matched to the music theory. Thank you for inspiring Mr. Gilbert 🙏🏻 Regards from Indonesia
For anyone under 40 posting here, you cannot imagine the feeling us guitarists felt when this Swedish god came out. Give him props, even if he doesn't like donuts (or does he?) Paul Gilbert, a fantastic player, and generally great guy.
Remember, everyone, Yngwie J. Malmsteen (the "j" is so as to not confuse him with the guy at the deli named Yngwie Malmsteen) DOES NOT LIKE DONUTS! lmfao!
+TheDogpa You're obviously clueless. There is a reason players like Gilbert, Becker, Joe Stump, Gus G, Zakk Wylde, Tom Hess, Panos Arvanitis, Kelly Simonz, Guthrie Govan etc... praise Malmsteen. The reality is Yngwie is one of the all time greats, he's much more than just playing fast scales.Calling him an idiot that plays fast scales is absurd and mean-spirited.
epic103 What Yngwie does, he does better than anyone. Whether someone actually LIKES it is up to them. Me, I love his playing, but I think Shawn Lane was a much more well rounded player. It takes all kinds, and as guitarists, we are much richer for it.
What is very interesting and intriguing about a guy like Paul.....is that he probably knows more music theory than most more popular guitarists ever will. GREAT player and musician.
That’s because his thumb is on the right spot, just before the stretch it’s up on the neck and when he reaches for the stretch he shifts his thumb all the way down
@@craigharrison5406 yea but some use that as an excuse for why they can’t play well themselves. which is a pretty weak excuse imo.. good technique and practice can get you pretty far.
@@usta028 I don't think that applies to Paul Gilbert. And TBH I've been playing/teaching for 30 years and have never heard someone say they suck because their pinky is too short.
@@craigharrison5406 haha yea! it surely doesn’t count for paul gilbert. But I’ve put my comment out there because I see way to many people online complain or point out online the “they’ve got big hands, that’s why he plays so good” card 😄
I've always liked Paul Gilbert's attitude. The best teacher out there not to mention one hell of a guitarist. What is way of teaching will win you over every time
I love the handful of geniuses who are comparing whose virtuosity is better, And then you have the guys that introduce names of players they like, who are definitely not in the pantheon of the greats, as if it somehow has anything to do with the video. Both guys are great. Both have influenced legions of players. Malmsteen was definitely the big European sensation and the first post Van Halen player that redefined rock chops. Gilbert has chops that are just as good. He did not redefine music but he shares knowledge and is a cool guy who hasn't become a parody. They both were around in the age of cheesy guitarists, albeit the age where guys could really play and still have commercial success. Yngwie is awesome and so is Gilbert. If it came down to who I would get more out of playing with, I suspect it would be Paul because he seems to share information easily, Malmsteen would be a blast if he parties like a real rockstar and is not just some arrogant guitar nerd. Guitar nerds are fine, but if I have to deal with lots of ego, I want lots of chicks and lots of fun to offset the arrogance. Malmsteen seems to be the bigger egomaniac ( Paul seems to have a childlike confidence but also seems humble) and in a way it's understandable but not something that I look for in an influential musician. Miles Davis was an egomaniac and Muddy Waters was a super accessible guy according to what I have read (but I cannot say for sure). All I know is both are fun to listen to.
+TR P I'd say Gilbert has tallent, Yangme has scale chops and not much music in his soul any more. Gilbert is a guitar player, yangme is a 'celebrity'.
+stratmanuk Randy was famous in the LA scene only until he joined Ozzy. And that leads me to: As for TRPs statement, he's TOTALLY forgetting about George Lynch. Even Don Dokken said that he felt George was the heir to the throne after EVH. George Lynch, whatever pile of garbage guitarist he turned into, was far ahead of most of those guys as he came out in 81 with Dokken and had been doing Exciter before that (79 or 80?). George Lynch was more influential than Yngwie AT FIRST (hell if it was for Lynchy boy, ESP would still be a middling guitar maker).
I love how Paul takes a very simple concept for soloing and makes it sound amazing. It's sort of tough to get solos to fit like that, but definitely worth the pay off!
Yes except what Yngwie is doing is not playing straight arpeggios Yngwie uses Single note runs different legato and stacatto as well as phrasing . Cesario Filho is much closer to what yng really does . Paul plays 4 6 and 8 note groupings in ways that can be done much more easily on guitar I don't think Paul realizes his ability to pick these sequences the way he does is really unusual . 4 notes on a string patterns can achieve the same exact thing a what Paul does John McLaughlin will always play 4 notes on a string , Paul sounds great but it is his interpretation of shred Not really the way di meola McLaughlin John Sykes Shawn Lane or Yngwie would sequence What paul does is much harder to do than what they are actually doing, if that makes any sense
I have never heard a bad word said about Paul Glibert. I met him twice first in May '91 and then in '92 i think it was, after Mr Big shows, he was humble, kind and offered some great advice.
Paul is and will always be my favorite guitar player. And he grew up in my hometown. My ex wife cut his stepmothers hair, and she got me three shirts and a handful of Paul Gilbert picks. his stepmother said “my stepson” is kinda famous.
If you're looking for the best analysis of Yngwie's technique and playing, watch the Cracking the Code series, especially Season 2. It changed my life lol
I could watch this guy all day. Amazing!! Paul G is one of the BEST on the planet!! Sick!!! Crazy that EVH is considered in the HOF and PG is a "FootNote". So to speak. C'mon!!
Sure, you can name a lot of talented shredders to compare to Mister Gilbert here, but I think few have not only his level of technical proficiency, but those who possess the sheer versatility of style. Also, the guy is really great at conveying guitar and music theory. That's more than can be said by many of the other greats.
you,re right. i,m not mad of his songs but he has his own signature and he,s an amazing player and he knows rock and metal music very good. i saw some video of him like BLUES VS METAL and etc and i agree he is cool and humble.
I always thought gilbert was all about 'fast playing' only, but after seeing him play classical stuff like Bach, being clear and technical in his explanations, and demonstrating his musical knowledge in a multitude of videos.... man, it made me realize how magical this man is
I had the a really difficult time playing over a Bmin7-5 to E dominant turnaround until finally tumbling to the fact that Bmin7-5 is actually an inversion of a G7 chord. Duh.
Nano B Yes, Although an augmented fifth might work as a passing tone. Then again, if you're Guthrie, ANY note is a passing tone and works brilliantly. :-)
I once had the pleasure of jamming with Paul Gilbert at Wembley Conference Centre, London back in November 1999 my 1st ever time playing in front of an audience. It was great.
+Odd Jørgen Høibø exactly. It's F maj chord but with the bass guitar and rhythm playing the A note as the lowest note and the C next then F. It's not A min like Paul says. Everyone makes mistakes. It's D min G or G7 then C then F (third inversion) then D min 6 then E then Asus 4 to A maj. He just got the A min wrong.
Paul's playing in a sum: "I usually stretch here from the 1st to the 24th fret, but I 'am not warmed up now so I will stretch up to the 22nd for that 7th feel...."
So Paul Gilbert can Play like Malmsteen ... I honestly don`t think there is anything he can`t do, as a guitarist .. He`s super accomplished, knows music theory upside down, and backwards too .. I wonder how old he was, when he started playing the guitar, and who his teacher was?? Word has it, that "Buckethead" was one of his students ..
Started at 5 and playing outside of Pittsburgh at 15. His uncle was a huge influence in his early years. He wanted Mike Varney to get him into Ozzy and Varney just signed him outright. I went to GIT in 89-90 and Paul was there very often. Insane player, WAY better face to face or in small room. Terrifying and humblest as all.
hes good but in his own genre, tell him to play alongside someone like George Benson and hell be lost, and the same goes for George, tell him to play alongside Paul and hell be lost to. They are both great but there are things he cant do and genres he cant really play that well
dani west Um Guns N' Roses? Also what is Buckets genre? Because like Paul he's done everything under the sun. Therefore I do believe it would be a successful collaboration, one could play pretty much any genre and the other would have no problem contributing.
@Crimson Idol His concert with the new Japanese orchestra, is demostration of precision, and class. One of the best Guitar show ever recorded, in my opinion. There is the full concert on TH-cam, check It out.....but, I'll bet you did already! Yngwie, doesn't miss a note in that venue. Be well my friend, and stay safe. Levi.
Why would he?! YJM is a real milestone in rock music, his neoclassical style is there in every rock guitarist. He may be a real asshole (mind my French), but separate his musical influence from it to the world. I can probably name up to 10 guitarists with similar impact to modern music and Paul Gilbert is surely not among them.
+Roland Mátyási Roland, I was just joking...Because Paul always does this Yngwie thing, then acts like he invented it instead...that is why I said that..as if Paul totally created a style and Yngwie would play some of his licks... yeah, right..Yngwie is not so much of a jackoff anymore. He quit drinking in 2005. I saw him on the 2004 tour, he was fat and red eyed, very indulged. I saw him on the 2006 tour, and he was sober and had lost tons of weight, and seemed to be more alive.. so, now he is a family man, and off the stuff, trying to keep it on the good side, gave up the pagan bullshit, and turned to God..after the bad luck he had in the late 80's.. serious bad stuff all in a row..
It's safe to say Gilbert totally understands the theory of a malmsteen song, and could play it just as easily. But he does not need to plagiarize malmsteen's work or wish to do so, since gilbert has all his own material to work on.
Gilbert doesn't really do the speed stuff anymore, feels its too limiting. He said blues, jazz and piano chords allow him to improvise better. I think he is coming around to Eric Clapton's way of thinking about the guitar. Would love to see these two play together.
The chord progression is from a song by Yngwie that Paul has done a cover of and he was showing the solo (or rather the concept) from his version of it, which is very different from the original.
Casually saying "So I was just thinking I'd be like" insert mind-blowing improv riffs "and then a little of maybe" insert panty-dropping lick "and then, you know? Nothing crazy." Damn you Paul!
Malmsteen' wife listened to George Lynch playing some tunes on Yngwie's guitar with scalloped frets and found him awesome. Yngwie was angry about that and took his axe away from George Lynch by looking fierce to him, harharhar. They are all great guitar players (Yngwie, George, Ringo (harharhar), Paul)
0:08 Sing with me to "Hello" by Lionel Ritchie... "Cause you know just what to say, and you know just what to do And I want to tell you so much, I love you."
Yngwie needs to take lessons from Gilbert on humility.There is not better teacher, team player and all around great guy as Gilbert in the guitar industry. His online lessons are clear, concise, and correct.
Absolutely,PG is a class act all the way,killer teacher also for the best teacher check out Troy Grady,his system is the most modern thought out way to learn to blister kiddies
I remember when yngwie came out around 83 or 84 i think the first time i heard him, just blew my mind , he totally traumatized me , i couldnt belive it i would listen to him day and night he was with alcatrazz allready, i remember saying , is going to take a while for other guitarists to play at that kind of level, couple 0f years later racer x comes out, vinnie moore, tony mclpyne, greg howe etc And then theres me, almost 40 years later still trying to learn the intro to black star😂
Theory Question: Can anyone tell me what Paul means when he say the 2nd chord is a "G with a third in the bass"? I understand it's a G major chord, and that the third would be the B note. But the G major chord already has the b note in it, so what actually are the notes in this chord? Also, how is he finhering the chord? (That would actually just answer my question as well. Thanks!
PG is my favorite, but your comment is not quite right. Yngwie really doesn’t use a lot of gain in his tone. They both sound great, and I’m not “dissin’” you, but I think you’re just wrong on this.
*I better USING Paul signature skills as my main routine to play/build up my guitar skills. ☺️👍🏾.. He's got a lot of good basics in Music Arena.. He knows what scale another guitarist has *DONE* in their songs/album to impress peoples*
I can use my pinky. I just find I don't have to as much for wild string skipping and sweeping yeah its really handy to be able to use it, and for that blazing Alternate/Economy picking you don't need it much either some, Now I will say the Smooth/fast Legato licks is really where pinky use is awesome find it more difficult to master too.

I was almost surprised Paul played something by yngwie malmsteen, but then I remembered…he’s Paul Gilbert, there’s nothing he can’t play
Of all the professional guitarists who try to teach, Paul is the best teacher of em all.
I like Paul’s insistence on using single coils for his style. There’s so much more...clarity.
He is just brilliant, makes everything look sooooo easy
"You don't remeeeeembeeeer, I'll never forgeeeettt"

i saw some video of him like BLUES VS METAL and etc and i agree he is cool and humble.
na verdade, os dislikes são porque o video diz "Paul Plays Yngwie Malmsteen", o que não é verdade... aí vc leva o dislike
Marty friedman and Jason Becker are far better
Wtf, he is not the best guitarist in the world, not even close. But, sure he is one of the most inspiring

Yes, Although an augmented fifth might work as a passing tone. Then again, if you're Guthrie, ANY note is a passing tone and works brilliantly. :-)
FreedomZealot Guthrie?! That charlatan only know 12 notes.
Malc180s Hah! I heard he actually knows 13 notes, and he's just not sharing.
Peter Swan Agreed, except I think you mean all of "us".
I once had the pleasure of jamming with Paul Gilbert at Wembley Conference Centre, London back in November 1999 my 1st ever time playing in front of an audience. It was great.
Paul Gilbert must be the next Doctor Who :)
Amazing, and plain fun to watch
He got the chords wrong if it's You Don't Remember solo. It's not A min. It's an F major with A note in the bass.
+TruthSurge So it's an inverted F then?
+Odd Jørgen Høibø exactly. It's F maj chord but with the bass guitar and rhythm playing the A note as the lowest note and the C next then F. It's not A min like Paul says. Everyone makes mistakes. It's D min G or G7 then C then F (third inversion) then D min 6 then E then Asus 4 to A maj. He just got the A min wrong.
Couldn't it be Am 6? Isn't that basically F major too? A C E F... Or F A C E
Who cares? It sounded better than the song anyway.
I’ll pass that along to Paul when I see him 😁
He's managed to evolve from an already world class shredder to a player with added great feel. Very inspiring.
He didn't evolve that way. He was always that way.
Paul's playing in a sum: "I usually stretch here from the 1st to the 24th fret, but I 'am not warmed up now so I will stretch up to the 22nd for that 7th feel...."
Thanks Paul Gilbert, it was very good.
So Paul Gilbert can Play like Malmsteen ... I honestly don`t think there is anything he can`t do, as a guitarist .. He`s super accomplished, knows music theory upside down, and backwards too .. I wonder how old he was, when he started playing the guitar, and who his teacher was?? Word has it, that "Buckethead" was one of his students ..
he started when he was eight and started playing in bars when he was 16 or somethin like that.
Yeah, Buckethead was one of his students.
Started at 5 and playing outside of Pittsburgh at 15. His uncle was a huge influence in his early years. He wanted Mike Varney to get him into Ozzy and Varney just signed him outright. I went to GIT in 89-90 and Paul was there very often. Insane player, WAY better face to face or in small room. Terrifying and humblest as all.
hes good but in his own genre, tell him to play alongside someone like George Benson and hell be lost, and the same goes for George, tell him to play alongside Paul and hell be lost to. They are both great but there are things he cant do and genres he cant really play that well
dani west Um Guns N' Roses? Also what is Buckets genre? Because like Paul he's done everything under the sun. Therefore I do believe it would be a successful collaboration, one could play pretty much any genre and the other would have no problem contributing.
The MASTER! he knows a lot of music's theory, i think more than anyone out there!!
Actually sounds more like "Paul Plays Jason Becker"
He is playing You don't remember i'll never forget, a Malmsteen song..
Yeah bro, everybody who plays guitar knows who Jason Becker is...
@@geordiehalma7323 amen Brother!!!
Jason Becker is LEGEND.
@Crimson Idol
And you are right...
Yngwie J Malmsteen is more than legend...
@Crimson Idol
His concert with the new Japanese orchestra, is demostration of precision, and class.
One of the best Guitar show ever recorded, in my opinion.
There is the full concert on TH-cam, check It out.....but, I'll bet you did already!
Yngwie, doesn't miss a note in that venue.
Be well my friend, and stay safe.
Levi.
Sweet! I wanna see more!
when does Yngwie play Paul?? I am waiting..ha-ha!! YEAH!!
Why would he?! YJM is a real milestone in rock music, his neoclassical style is there in every rock guitarist. He may be a real asshole (mind my French), but separate his musical influence from it to the world. I can probably name up to 10 guitarists with similar impact to modern music and Paul Gilbert is surely not among them.
+Roland Mátyási Roland, I was just joking...Because Paul always does this Yngwie thing, then acts like he invented it instead...that is why I said that..as if Paul totally created a style and Yngwie would play some of his licks... yeah, right..Yngwie is not so much of a jackoff anymore. He quit drinking in 2005. I saw him on the 2004 tour, he was fat and red eyed, very indulged. I saw him on the 2006 tour, and he was sober and had lost tons of weight, and seemed to be more alive.. so, now he is a family man, and off the stuff, trying to keep it on the good side, gave up the pagan bullshit, and turned to God..after the bad luck he had in the late 80's.. serious bad stuff all in a row..
+Michael Craig Street Legal is the only song i can even remember. I don't see YJM bothering man. ;)
+Michael Craig WAIT!! I forgot To Be With You!! That one will keep Yngwie up at night figuring out them chord changes for sure man!
warming up :D
Ahhhh esse cara ta de brincadeira velho...mestre Gilbert
Oh, how easy he makes it sound. Like everyone who watches slaps their forehead and thinks "but of course..." Not.
Grandissimo
It's safe to say Gilbert totally understands the theory of a malmsteen song, and could play it just as easily. But he does not need to plagiarize malmsteen's work or wish to do so, since gilbert has all his own material to work on.
Edward Soto: To steal without giving credit or modifying with your own interpretation.
Yep love both players and you are correct
He didn't plagiarize anything. Everyone knows that's an Yngwie song. He didn't steal anything. He's playing a song by one of his favorite guitarists
Gilbert doesn't really do the speed stuff anymore, feels its too limiting. He said blues, jazz and piano chords allow him to improvise better. I think he is coming around to Eric Clapton's way of thinking about the guitar. Would love to see these two play together.
Ken Havens clapton is trash gilbert is god.
I love this guy
Where is yngwie malmsteen style!?
Totally diferent..
The chord progression is from a song by Yngwie that Paul has done a cover of and he was showing the solo (or rather the concept) from his version of it, which is very different from the original.
Casually saying "So I was just thinking I'd be like" insert mind-blowing improv riffs "and then a little of maybe" insert panty-dropping lick "and then, you know? Nothing crazy." Damn you Paul!
in his day Gilbert was an icon on stage
still a great guy, no arrogance
Malmsteen' wife listened to George Lynch playing some tunes on Yngwie's guitar with scalloped frets and found him awesome. Yngwie was angry about that and took his axe away from George Lynch by looking fierce to him, harharhar. They are all great guitar players (Yngwie, George, Ringo (harharhar), Paul)

0:08 Sing with me to "Hello" by Lionel Ritchie... "Cause you know just what to say, and you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you."
George your comment was not as clever as you thought
muito bom! Paul Gilbert é virtuoso mestre.
He's so damn clever!
Best regards from Portugal !
"I'm sorry, I don't listen to musicians who are better at guitar than me "... Listens to Lil Wayne's guitar" solo" lol
The chords from "Autumn leaves"...
❤ to Paul an Yngve
Yngwie needs to take lessons from Gilbert on humility.There is not better teacher, team player and all around great guy as Gilbert in the guitar industry. His online lessons are clear, concise, and correct.
They are two different kinds of people. Gilbert is a teacher, Yngwie is a rockstar.
Absolutely,PG is a class act all the way,killer teacher also for the best teacher check out Troy Grady,his system is the most modern thought out way to learn to blister kiddies
good players play, limited players teach
Then why aren't you teaching?
i used to play and teach, some 20 years ago
what kind of technique is that on his right hand while doing arpegios???
Yngwie is clearly a big reason why Paul chose to put single coils pickups in his guitar
Yes...yes...Paul uses single coils just to be more like Yngwie...and that also confirms the illuminati.
I remember when yngwie came out around 83 or 84 i think the first time i heard him, just blew my mind , he totally traumatized me , i couldnt belive it i would listen to him day and night he was with alcatrazz allready, i remember saying , is going to take a while for other guitarists to play at that kind of level, couple 0f years later racer x comes out, vinnie moore, tony mclpyne, greg howe etc
And then theres me, almost 40 years later still trying to learn the intro to black star😂
Know what's really important? TH-cam comments.
Excellent 💥🎸👍🏻💯

Theory Question:
Can anyone tell me what Paul means when he say the 2nd chord is a "G with a third in the bass"? I understand it's a G major chord, and that the third would be the B note. But the G major chord already has the b note in it, so what actually are the notes in this chord?
Also, how is he finhering the chord? (That would actually just answer my question as well.
Thanks!
So playing an harmonic Minor is playing malmsteen? Is this a joke?
He's talking about playing over the "You don't remember I'll never forget" progression
That 5 second jazz intro was killer!
Misleading title.
Paul G is one of the best guitarist in this planet!
Malmsteen shines with rockstar aura even at his age.
this guy is awesome !!!
his hands looks like bucketh...
Remind me of don't cry by Gnr, anybody can explain how to make different chord proggression?
Paul can shred faster and cleaner without distortion than Yngwie... It’s true 🎧👽
U can check again YJM plays a GODIN acoustic guitar shredding, no distortion and count bpm as such
PG is my favorite, but your comment is not quite right. Yngwie really doesn’t use a lot of gain in his tone. They both sound great, and I’m not “dissin’” you, but I think you’re just wrong on this.
nobody's writing like Yngwie. The touch and the sound of Ygwie is the best!!!
*I better USING Paul signature skills as my main routine to play/build up my guitar skills. ☺️👍🏾.. He's got a lot of good basics in Music Arena.. He knows what scale another guitarist has *DONE* in their songs/album to impress peoples*
Somebody needs to give Paul a sandwich.
He's shredding guitar so much that he doesn't have time to eat! It would explain his stature as well as his ripping guitar skills.
Yngwie has eaten all Paul's sandwiches!
;)
Evgeny Kustov Hahahah I died laughing to this comment!
Yngwie has eaten all Paul's sandwiches..lmao That was the funniest comment i've read in months.. hilarious!
I can use my pinky. I just find I don't have to as much for wild string skipping and sweeping yeah its really handy to be able to use it, and for that blazing Alternate/Economy picking you don't need it much either some, Now I will say the Smooth/fast Legato licks is really where pinky use is awesome find it more difficult to master too.
IMO this sounds like Gary Moore more than Malmsteen
Nice playing. I know this might sound silly, but I'm curious to know if Paul is related to Melissa Gilbert' s familly ?
