- Paul Gilbert has a crack at Van Halen's Spanish Fly, from the Yellow Matter Custard backstage footage. And for the two million people who quite uniquely think they've discovered Mike Portnoy at the start - yes, it is Mike Portnoy.

This looks like he heard it once, went 'cool, got it' and played it lol.
Seeing Paul playing this makes me realize once more what an amazing player Eddie Van Halen really is. Back in the seventees this was like science fiction.
He doesn't play it note for note ...in fact he did the impossible ....He frikkin ADDED notes !!
What I love about Paul Gilbert is how incredibly humble he is despite being a virtuoso.
I love how he always seems to be havin the time of his life when he has a guitar in his hands, he truly loves making music.
He is unbelievably talented... should be more famous... IMO
He is huge in Japan!
I agree. Maybe I don't remember mr big being that popular... I guess they sold out arenas. PG is my man crush for sure.
Awesome. Totally kills it on steel strings. "My hand's running out of juice."
the way he handles the pick, tucks it away, pulls it out...unreal.
just noticed that. legend.
I could do that. You know the part where Portnoy says "Yeah".
It would be nice if Paul could at least make it look like he's having a hard time once in awhile.
Best 55 seconds I've spent in quite some time
Paul Gilbert is an alien... to awesome for human...
How can you not like Paul Gilbert, not only is he one of the very best, but he's such a down to earth and fun guy!
Paul is the doctor of guitar player's. When you need medicine, he's there to provide!
WOW! What an incredible guy!
"my fingers runnin out of juice". HE IS HUMAN
what the hell, just whips out a practically perfect rendition of spanish fly off the cuff? paul gilbert, you are a god among gods.
Hi my name is paul gilbert and i can play spanish fly in 150% speed
coolest guitar player in the world
This was one of the coolest things I've ever seen
Damn.. Never seen such shredding on an acoustic guitar
Paul is awesome and this just shows how complex Eddie Van Halen's compositions could be. I could watch this 20 times.
HIS FINGERS DO RUN ON JUICEEEEEEEE
Paul Gilbert is a genius musician
Paul Gilbert seems like a cool dude to hang out with
Paul Gilbert is like the guitarists' spirit animal
i would gave away my left testicle to play as half as good as he plays.fast and furious,but always with heart,i am amazed by him,truly.
Guitar MASTER! He didn't even need to think about it. So amazing!
Ma vadevialkù! tutta tecnica e zero cuore...Non è uscita una nota, dico una, suonata con sentimento... bravo!! bravo!! Applausi!!!
I really love Paul not for being able to do anything or anyone but being so positive and making it fun to watch. And I'm talkin with experience hailing from Racer X and the times Eddie was THE man
Man, he's a beast, I love him.
Dam he nailed it.
Like a boss.
Holy crap! That's why Paul Gilbert is Paul Gilbert, he kills everything he touches (after he turns it to gold)! Man, Eddie gotta feel good!
How many other guitar players are there that would take the question "Hey how about some spanish fly?" and say oh why the hell not... Not many I can tell you that.
Paul is so insanely good... love that guy
Paul - great guy. great talent. Loved his Yellow Matter Custard
Paul is one of the best guitarist ever, and might ne my favourite and He seems to be such a nice dude
"Runing out of juice!" Paul is so awesome!!!!
So clean and on an acoustic! Only Ed and Paul can make it sound that clean
This is pretty amazing. He plays it note for note with precision. Yeah, Paul Gilbert is awesome. And from what I have seen on youtube, he's an awesome teacher, too. Not all great guitarists are great teachers. In fact, some really can't teach well at all. But it appears as if Paul Gilbert is a natural when it comes to teaching music. It's as if he was born to teach.
So amazing to see a legend play a riff from another legend.
I could do those taps at the start, but those harmonics and the sweeping afterwards, just.. CHRIST, this man melts faces with grandpas guitars..
The dude is just the best
This kicks ass!!! Best cover I have heard, damn good!!!!!!!
and that is why PG is my Idol
He played it flawlesly and made it more difficult
One does not simply, Play Spanish Fly... unless you're paul gilbert...
When after 10 years you get down the first exercise of intense rock 1
0:54
1 of the best guitarist in the world Paul Gilbert!!! 1 of my favorite!!!!!
Paul is the Ultimate! My favorite guitar player!!!!
Awesome. He even holds the pick the same way EVH does when he taps.
I think Gilbert also exhibits the same joy at playing music that EVH does.
Incredible player...🤘🤘❤️
ALL HAIL!!!
I just love that guy!!
He makes me want to practise. And practise. And practise. So that one day I might meet him and tell him what an insanely potent influence he's had on me as a guitarist.
That was truly awesome.. 🙏
God damn . . . I'm a HUGE EVH fan, but this guy blows me away. He's so god damn precise. On everything. I've been playing VH for years. and I will never get close to this good. Take this from an Ed Head. This is just as good, if not better, than the studio version
Outrageously good!
Gotta luv the guy
The point is imagining being able to do that someday with enough practice... that's what keeps me going!
Holy smokes! Paul Gilbert nails this difficult Eddie Van Halen solo almost perfectly. Mad skills for sure! Peace.
Amazing.
That is fucking madness
WOW!
impeccable performance!!! and that’s before i reiterate that he is such a damn guitar samurai getting that sound on a GOTdamn acoustic
HOW!
he made it perfect!
perfect cover
Awesome!
Got to see Paul at Alta Loma Music back in the late 80's early 90's ...such an amazing musician 👍
God of guitar
Maestro
Oh man he s really one of the greats.
Paul Gilbert is the man. THere aren't many guitarists out there that can do what he does.
@0:42 "My hand's running out of juice!" :-0
I say that too, whenever I think about attempting any Paul Gilbert.
Paul is the fucking man now, dawg.
My inspiration...nice guy
Way cool❗️
That was really fun.
How could any one give this a thumbs down ! Paul is funny as hell at times but no joke at all I have never heard him play anything that was not far beyond 90% of any player out there great job paul
Hearing him say "my hand is runnin' out of juice!" makes me feel much better about myself for never being able to make it through the whole thing hahaha
Paul is just insane
Wow man you rock it
AWESOME
Magical
that speed killed the guitar xD
Anyone who can come this close to Eddies Spanish Fly is a certified bad ass. Cheers Mr. Big Gilbert.
Yeaaa. You guys know what is good aye
"...has a crack at..." ??? Doesn't even break a sweat! I'd be happy if I could get through the first 10sec of Spanish Fly on my butter smooth SG without cramping up!
Paul is king
Paul is a machine.
The man is a GOD!!
Fuck it.....I quit.
Imagine just hanging out chilling with this guy
Man that's satisfying.
Just when I thought he couldn’t get any cooler!
Nice MC5 shirt, Gilbo!! Now, there was a band.,,..
Holy CRAP!
The spanish fly became a dragon after that !!
perfect.
I owe you an apology i was looking at the selections on the side saw yours and said to my self, spanish fly ok mr spanish fly, i'm probably wasting my time here, but jeeeeezuz............... frickin' blew me away...........
Diggin' that MC5 shirt haha.
fantástica la tecnica ,,virtuosismo puro,, ..a lo mejor, le falta " alma " but I suppose just a sample /////
FANTASTIC !!!!! Feliz Año ,,,,, a disfrutar de lo lindo . Santé, Bonheur, Chance á Vous Tous. A.
