alright dude...i've seen your name a few times but haven't subscribed to your channel...more of a jake the garden snake fan, myself...but anyone who recognizes how cool paul gilbert is deserves my sub.
Paul has always been a down to earth guy. Remember seeing him in Racer X as well in the 80’s. A real musicians musician. No big ego or attitude with this guy.
You know what's really great about PG, is that he keeps his pedal board nice and simple. He gives himself more time in playing than complicating stuff.
you'll notice in all these rig run downs and such....Paul always shows off his OWN gear...not all give the time. That's very telling and a reflection of his character!! he's as good a person as he is a guitar player!!
I like listening to this guy - I'm actually learning things about setting tones and vibes from him by watching this video! I really appreciate his openness and transparency about what he's doing, how he's doing it and why. For instance, during this video he actually shows you what do each of these different pedals sound like as he's going through them. One of the best guitar rig rundowns I have seen.
Great guy. Great rig rundown. He could have the most expensive boutique pedals in the world, but it's all bout his talent, and he makes a $40 distortion pedal sound amazing.
I love that he get's his tone from distortion pedals. I've always used them & find you get more control with them & they can sound just as good as tube distortion.
I like how simple his board is. Couple drives, a unit to power his pedals, a delay and reverb, phaser, chorus/vibe, and compressor. Most people would've shoved those pedals as close together as possible because "Hey, I can shove another 3 pedals on my board!"
I met Scott Travis when my band opened the first three Fight shows back in 91’/92’. I asked him about playing with Paul and his experience in Racer X. He said Paul would fall sleep playing his guitar and they’d wake him with it still in his hands. Paul has put his time in and then some. 🎸
I caught Mr Big back in the day at Gazzarri's in Hollywood. Word got around town that a new Guitar Wonder boy named Paul Gilbert was in town and all the local guitar players swung by to check him out, grab a girl to bang and take off.
@@heavenlyguitar5913 Yeah, the vintage ADA isn't exactly affordable but can be replaced with a lot of other flangers. Now if only money could buy Paul's amazing fingers...
I love the way he uses the Alter Ego Delay. I use a Reverb pedal the same way. I'm not a huge Reverb guy, but I use just a smidge to "have some clothes" on, and not feel completely naked.
Saw Mr.Big open for RUSH at more than one show. Very impressed by Gilbert and the whole band. I remember they came out at the end of the set with RUSH and played In The Mood.
Chris Oliva from Savatage did it, too. He used 2 Boss DS-1 in series in front of a Marshall 1959 (although he had a Laney-endorsement, i know a couple of ppl who saw him playing back then, and he never used a Laney). And not to mention myself, did it for a long time :D :P Works great as long as you have a good amp behind the pedals. It just doesnt work in front of every amp. And, most important: the fingers....
I use 2 drive pedals in front of a Laney AOR Pro Tube 100, a DS-1 and a TS-808, both set as boosters (level only, no distortion). They sound great. The TS adds crispness for rhythms and the DS adds warmth for solos.
1:30 is that from a song or just an example? it’s beautiful edit - just remembered it sounds like something from Electric Tears by Buckethead, which isn't a surprise since Paul taught Buckethead.
I cant help laughing. The japanese guy dont understand a word of what Paul say, but he nod and smile like crazy like "Of course dude" every time Paul say something. Priceless.
I've got the same Boss delay, MXR Dist + & old 70's ADA flanger. I also have Paul's Ibanez airplane Flanger which seems like they modeled it after the ADA. Wonder why he don't use his brand.
The AF-2 isn't the most reliable piece of kit ever, maybe that's why. It's a shame, I wish mine didn't keep breaking, because it sounds great when it works.
From what I saw, PG know what pedal to use. And, I learned something about pedal from this video. I use 6 pedal, and PG use 9 if I didt mistaken. Plus, I used Vox volume pedal.

Paul is such an amazing human
alright dude...i've seen your name a few times but haven't subscribed to your channel...more of a jake the garden snake fan, myself...but anyone who recognizes how cool paul gilbert is deserves my sub.
Gilbert is one of a small handful of oldschool guitar players who isnt a jerk, kept it together through the 80's & 90's and hasnt lost his mojo.
he never lost his mojo because it's taped strong as fuck to the board
Nice one! haha
Joe satriani?
Greg Howe also.
With the MojoMojo peddle he has increased his mojo! 😂
I could listen to him talk about gear for months.
Paul has always been a down to earth guy. Remember seeing him in Racer X as well in the 80’s. A real musicians musician. No big ego or attitude with this guy.
Paul Gilbert is so likeable. :)
I saw Mr. Big in 1989 their first album I remember we were all blown away with Paul Gilbert. He can play everything well.
Not everything, just rock.
@@jspartacus Rock, metal, blues, jazz, even classical.... don't underestimate Paul's musical knowledge
@@JT_Grogan He's extremely limited. He couldn't hang with the greats of any of those genres, much less county or classical.
You should book a jam with Paul Gilbert and play every genres with him. I am sure he can play everything he just often play Rock and Blues.
@@JT_Grogan He's a Flamingo player as well.
Paul Gilbert is just the best. So amazing and unpretentious.
2:22 Walking On The Moon by The Police. I love watching any Paul Gilbert interview, he pulls out so many amazing songs he has stored in his memory.
agree, the man is like a human jukebox
yeah the bridge of sighs riff sounded great
You know what's really great about PG, is that he keeps his pedal board nice and simple. He gives himself more time in playing than complicating stuff.
Absolutely the cleanest alternate picking in the world. He took what Yngwie did on Rising Force and just kept on going and going.
That's a really simple rig. The magic here is all Gilbert.
cool
I like the way he describe his gear
That flanger sounds amazing!
you'll notice in all these rig run downs and such....Paul always shows off his OWN gear...not all give the time. That's very telling and a reflection of his character!! he's as good a person as he is a guitar player!!
It’s always a pleasure to hear Mr Gilbert say anything!
I love how old school and minimalist his pedal board is.Old pedals, duct tape, cool.Paul's the man, wish i was @ the Budokan for that show.
Love paul gilbert when he is giving his gear explaination.
The most truesome guitar player of all time! Paul Gilbert never gets old with those shredy fingers.

Mannn, I respect mr Paul Gilbert. He is such a humble guy, friendly to approach and like to share his knowledge with everyone.
Greatest video displaying how cool, talented, and down right awesome PG is !
One of my few favorite players. Ferocious 6-string Master !!!
I love that he get's his tone from distortion pedals. I've always used them & find you get more control with them & they can sound just as good as tube distortion.
Gets, not "get's". No apostrophe.
This is incredible simply stuff for a international famous guitar player!!!
face melting, precise picking. casually continue talking as if nothing happend. I love PG
I
Love the way he can go ballistic shred and sweep, then play something soulful. His playing is something else!!
loving his tones.
Saw mr.big live here in manila last week.. it was a dream come true.. been a fan since i was a kid..
The cleanest guitarist in the world right now!
Him or John Petrucci, both are my faves and both are insanely clean at insane speed too
@@iwatchyouatnight1550 Michael Angelo Batio as well..
*ahem ahem* BUCKETHEAD *ahem*
How are these things measured?
Laughs in Guthrie govan
Love Paul Gilbert, his enthusiasm is totally infectious.. Not to mention a great guitarist and all round human!
That "Anything For You" intro... too beautiful
Such a gentleman and legend.
Is there anyone cooler and more down to earth than Paul Gilbert... the answer is no
Jim Dewd Guitars petrucci
actually there is another one. his name is kanye west. lol
sujirou Lil Wayne too
ah yes. them self-professed "geniuses".
Ye.... Oh just finished reading your comment. Guess not.
You're the best guitarist for me keep on inspiring people to get their guitar and keep on practicing beyond their limits thank you sir
We are not discussing the elephants in the room then?
Rafael Andrade I didn't notice any elephants? Is that part of their tour this time around or what!
For th absolute win.🏆
Rafael Andrade almost missed it. Good eye.
You mean that yellow with dumb hair?
verbotenco lol
Humble personality and friendly as my own bestfriend. Kudos to his life and keep rockin
Paul Gilbert is great. He did a clinic at Motor City Guitar in Waterford, MI a few months ago. Had an awesome time.
Love to see PG's minimal pedalboard setup with a big sound. ♥️♥️♥️
I like how simple his board is. Couple drives, a unit to power his pedals, a delay and reverb, phaser, chorus/vibe, and compressor. Most people would've shoved those pedals as close together as possible because "Hey, I can shove another 3 pedals on my board!"
God bless Paul Gilbert... Such a gem of person and an amazing amazing guitarist

Love this guy. He always seems passionate about what he’s doing and talking about.
your clean tone was something paul! i love it so much
Paul I said it when I first saw and heard you back in the 80's your no joke your a real guitar hero.
*You're*
Sounds like Paul is enjoying life. He deserves it !!
Paul Gilbert is amazing guitarist!!!
Simple rig! I always like to watch Paul talking, he likes to keep things simple and that's why he sounds so good. It comes from the fingers (:
MUITO BOM!!! COOL... ❤🤘🎸
Nice clean sound Paul !! 👍🏻👍🏻
Wish I had this amazing gears
Nice thing is that the pedals are affordable. The Marshall stack will cost some money but a Fender Twin can do the same thing.
@@heavenlyguitar5913 Yeah, the vintage ADA isn't exactly affordable but can be replaced with a lot of other flangers. Now if only money could buy Paul's amazing fingers...
One of the best ever and a total class act.
Take notes from a legend stacking 2 overdrive or distortion pedals into a clean amp with a noise gate is epic!
Lov ya Paul. Your such a cool dude. Been listening to ya sense I was 14. Always be a fan
Fun video. Thanks Paul.
Thank you TC for the pedals I leave on all the time!!!
Bruh is cool as hell. I dont even follow him but Paul Gilbert was my first GUITAR CLINIC at GC when I was 14 back in 1989
Awesome video
He's my fave, never heard him miss a Note.
Paul is the man.
What a credit to the music industry and to music lovers the world over.
This fuckin guy right here... who doesn't love 'em?
I love the way he uses the Alter Ego Delay. I use a Reverb pedal the same way. I'm not a huge Reverb guy, but I use just a smidge to "have some clothes" on, and not feel completely naked.
Paul never drops guitar pics! The three pics are for lucky fans . Love you Paul!
He is a national treasure and obviously loves what he does
I don't see enough comments talking about how awesome Paul is, so I'll just say that he is awesome.
Nice
Amazing human being, a true musician
Saw Mr.Big open for RUSH at more than one show. Very impressed by Gilbert and the whole band. I remember they came out at the end of the set with RUSH and played In The Mood.
You're awesome Paul 🤘
TC is also awesome 🤘
He's got an ancient A/DA flanger on there,and I though I was the only guy that still had an original.I bought mine in 1981 I believe.
legendary ... he plays so goooooood
My all time guitar inspiration
Cool bit of Bridge of Sighs in there!
Paul you are a really music historic boock open !!! amazing !
He’s such a humble bloke
so awesome when i saw that simple preset of pedals //
Paul Gilbert is the only guitarist I know who uses stacked drive pedals like that and still sounds better than alot of other players tones.
David Enoch ya, I tried my boss super od with a the boss distortion ds1, through a rack eq into a two notes cab sim, didn't sound bad
Chris Oliva from Savatage did it, too. He used 2 Boss DS-1 in series in front of a Marshall 1959 (although he had a Laney-endorsement, i know a couple of ppl who saw him playing back then, and he never used a Laney).

Through the Marshall 1959s. Clean amp. Stacked drives. Repro 1959s.
The most important is "the Man behind the gun"....he is paul gilbert...the best
what absolutely humble rockstar!
Damn Mr Gilbert is so engaging that it took me until the very end to realise the elephants in the background! 😂
Loved that he busted out 'Walking on the Moon', probably my favorite Police song
Most videos I watch related to Mr Big, they are in Japan. Crazy it, isnt it?
1:30 is that from a song or just an example? it’s beautiful
edit - just remembered it sounds like something from Electric Tears by Buckethead, which isn't a surprise since Paul taught Buckethead.
It´s the intro of "Anything for you" by Mr. Big
I cant help laughing. The japanese guy dont understand a word of what Paul say, but he nod and smile like crazy like "Of course dude" every time Paul say something. Priceless.
Paul is all class..
What about the Ibanez Fireman with P90 and hammy bar? I need one ☝️with 24 frets and Tree Of Life marks over ebony.
So simple but so great... 👍
One of my heroes that's why I have his guitar
Does anybody knows where in the chain he has his Sentry Noise Gate?
Love paul . Very humble person
He's great.
What flanger is Paul using to get the tone of Sunlit Nights off of their second heat album?
Is he running the delay in front of the amp? I don't think this Marshall head has effects loop.
what is the brand of that flanger
Such a good dude, love his playing. He and Nuno did a tour in Asia, there’s some video of it on here. Amaze balls, check it out.
I've got the same Boss delay, MXR Dist + & old 70's ADA flanger. I also have Paul's Ibanez airplane Flanger which seems like they modeled it after the ADA. Wonder why he don't use his brand.
The AF-2 isn't the most reliable piece of kit ever, maybe that's why. It's a shame, I wish mine didn't keep breaking, because it sounds great when it works.
i really miss your shootouts with marty over in japan great shows of musical memory.....
From what I saw, PG know what pedal to use. And, I learned something about pedal from this video. I use 6 pedal, and PG use 9 if I didt mistaken. Plus, I used Vox volume pedal.
1:27 what is the song? looks eletric tears
Anything for you
