I was never a Vai fan, but that son of a bitch is good! I liked him with Snake. I have always liked Paul… but there is NO WAY in hell I would say Vai is better. Simply not true!! Both masters at the craft!!!
@@Geetar48 vai's compositions are not great. the clout to get orchestras playing his music and the ability to read music doesn't translate to much beyond amateur orchestration and unformed ideas
@@Geetar48 you got it backward actually, as a guitar player. They're both awesome in different ways. Definitely Gilbert is more melodic and I think he's stronger at Improv, while Vai is more a technical guitarist.
Paul is the ultimate shredder no doubt with a lot of soul in his playing, but Steve has written some of the most memorable material of this music genre!
Paul is a standout musician 1st who can shreddd harddd too.he has a teachers soul,very positive fellow from what I have seen.refreshing and just be so good.he truly gets it.thanks for being Paul!
I’ve always loved Steve. For years easily called Steve my “favorite” but damn, Paul just has this ability to keep it feeling so fresh and new. Maybe I have a new favorite.
@@JaredGrissett I saw both Steve and Paul last year within 3 weeks of each other. While Paul is my all time favourite guitarist and my biggest inspiration, he has definitely slowed down a touch. He’s still godly, but I noticed in particular Down to Mexico, Scarified and Technical Difficulties were slowed down. Vai on the other hand, sounded just as good as he did on the records. Don’t get me wrong, Paul is still ridiculously fast and soooo musical, but I think if we’re talking now relative to their peaks, I think Vai is still closer to his form from the 80s and 90s
Great to see Vai hitting some blues phrased licks like he means it. Gilbert awesome job as usual. Well done guys. Jimi loved jamming... you guys had fun in his spirit and nailed it.
PAUL GILBERT REALLY IS SO ENTERTAINING TO WATCH ISNT HE. ITS BEAUTIFUL HOW MUCH HE ENJOYS IT. BLESS THEM BOTH. AND OF COURSE VAI" IS JUST A LEGEND. THIS WAS JUST GREAT VALUE ALL ROUND. THOUGHROLY ENJOYED WATCHING.. THANX 4 SHARING
Paul playing soooo cleanly without the over distorted and compressed sound Vai has. Unbelievably tough to pull off yet PG does it so seemindly effortlessly.
Absolutely, Paul's playing is immaculate. But while his tone is pretty simple and clean, it doesn't sound very good to me in his last years. It's too muddy and soft for his playing.
dua guitarist yg menjadi inspirasiku... paul gilbert dengan sound & scale yg begitu asyikkk...steve vai dengan permainan tremolo yg dahsyat... love you PG & SV
Simply beautiful, two masters of the six string paying homage to an original master of the six string. What a tone, what technique , what feel Vai and Gilbert are geniuses.
Two legends, love the musical chemistry here! Their tones actually complemented each other well here, Paul's woodier and less sizzle, and Steve's all gained out and spicy in the highs.
Paul’s licks always sound like music, and not just runs of different scales. 🙌
I disagree, Steve's soloing is extremely bluesy
correct. Paul is different
And it fits nicely with the chords .
Welcome to the "who has bigger hands" competition
@@user-cm4oc2lp4x .......BUCKETHEAD get's in
.........
Jeff Loomis definitely gets in!!!!
I agree with Goiastr and Yoky Coky... if its a "who has bigger hands" competition, they'd both be glad that Buckethead didnt show up.
Good thing hand size doesn't matter in music.
Tal Farlow won that competition years ago.
Paul Gilbert -one of the nicest guy in business.
Paul's tone and is always outstanding..... and obviously his playing as well. So proud of you Paul, very well done
Scato it was amazing to watch these two together on stage shredding Jimi Hendrix
tone is in the fingers
@@rodrigogomez5196 Paul needs more treble in his fingers then...
Paul's tone had a lot of Eric Johnson to it in this video.
@@mymodel6 🤣
Steve Vai. 40+ years on the circuit and still going 110%
Two of the best guitar players in the world
Much as I love Steve Vai, I'm starting to believe Paul Gilbert could blow him away any time he wanted.
I was never a Vai fan, but that son of a bitch is good! I liked him with Snake. I have always liked Paul… but there is NO WAY in hell I would say Vai is better. Simply not true!! Both masters at the craft!!!
They’re just different! I wouldn’t necessarily say blow him away!! Don’t underestimate Vai!
As a guitar player? Perhaps. Paul Gilbert is a monster. But as a composer? He can't tie Vai's shoe laces....

Ibanez and their artists
....just incredible
Paul Gilbert is so much fun!
Guitarmalade was a blast
What an unbelievebly amazing guitarist Jimi Hendrix was
With Jimi the music flowed out of his soul though Steve & Paul might be technically better.

Paul is the ultimate shredder no doubt with a lot of soul in his playing, but Steve has written some of the most memorable material of this music genre!
Paul Gilbert, such a great guitar player.
Vos decís? 😂
Love PG's tone so much!! warm, smooth, solid.. so amazing
I honestly think the total opposite, it's too muddy, soft and smooth for his playing, doesn't compliment it at all.
paul gilbert its my guitar favorite 😁

ive been a massive fan of both for nearly 20 years, vai especially, however i feel like steve is past his prime.
Paul is a Damn freak of nature. Always makes it look as easy as tying a shoe.
Great thing about music - you don't need to have "a" favorite :)

@@ethanbenson yeah. My opinion has changed since i made rhat comment 3 years ago. The last Vai record was incredible. He's still got it.
Paul is so so so so cool !!

Vai sounds like nobody else but he can't play blues. Never could.
Almost didn't recognize Gilbert without his headphones.
GetzGoth 3113 I believe his hearing aids block the stage volume. Unfortunately.
Lol
Paul seems like such a nerd and God bless him for it. Fantastic musician.

Both great but FYI Vai is using 2 peddles in this rig to Paul's 7
Legend has it, the bass player turned invisible during this performance & hasnt been seen since
“What do you throw a drowning bass player?”
His amp!
While today America burns in ignorance and depravity, I only love these amazing musicians even more.
Thank you so much!
haha what does this have to do with shredding, damn man
3.47-3.53 Only Steve Vai talks with a guitar like this..whan a lovely phrase.
everyone talking about paul’s tone but i just love that bright steve vai tone, i prefer brighter tones i guess
Impossible to compare, two masters. Love these guys.
Exactly. And they aren’t trying to out do each other. They are having fun.
If EVH is here, it would be a perfect picture for me 🤗
It took a long time for these two to play together on stage, but man, it is a beautiful thing!
I keep imagining them being young back in the '80s up on stage jamming like this.
Me too, dude! I was watching mr big touring in 93 yesterday and kept imagining if that era's Paul were to play on a G3 with Satch and Vai!
Paul gilbert is amazing.. Many sound & tone very genius feeling the song
Paul's tone is always amazing.. 🤘
PAUL !! is my favorite !!
Paul looks like your nerdy uncle who can’t dance but holy crap his playing is phenomenal these days. Seems like a real cool down to earth guy too.
3:35 Such a sick lick from Paul
Steve Vai will always be my favorite but Paul is amazing and great sound!!!
I love how Paul Gilbert looks like he should be an accountant, then he lets rip on a solo and it's like "daaaammnn that boy can play!" :)
dua guitarist yg menjadi inspirasiku... paul gilbert dengan sound & scale yg begitu asyikkk...steve vai dengan permainan tremolo yg dahsyat...
love you PG & SV
Tremolo tu ape bos, scale?
Paul gilbert gila sih mainnya...
Paul's guitar sounds were amazing,always my favourite ❤️

PG's composure,just very chill yet his hands are on fire.His tone always cuts through the mix very well.
Paul is going to announce the new IPhone after this jam
🤣🤣🤣
i though rowan atkinson
cocoteee hahaha
Joke thief
No he’s going to fix some IT problems on the 3rd floor the servers crashed again 🤪
Simply beautiful, two masters of the six string paying homage to an original master of the six string. What a tone, what technique , what feel Vai and Gilbert are geniuses.
Steve and Paul should play together more often.
Great to hear a live version of “ Midnight “ . Such a blistering track by Jimi, as many others he did…
Ι love them both but i love so much Paul's tone.
@Paolo DiGiorno hahahaha excactly :)
I m playing a Marshall JCM 2000 too so i know it 😁

Damn it, the chemistry between Vai and Gilbert is electric!
Two legends, love the musical chemistry here! Their tones actually complemented each other well here, Paul's woodier and less sizzle, and Steve's all gained out and spicy in the highs.
2 legendaries together. No one is better and no one is lesser.
Both such incredible players. Nice tribute to Jimi! Have fun fellas.
Both legends

Grateful for bringing out my two most favourite guitar heroes of this planet

That last bit, proves how much fun they are having. 🙂
Now these guys are fun to watch. Even the bass player!
Gilbert new style and energi 👏👏👏

Steve Vai all day!
Very amazing
Those guitars must be soulmates. So much to talk about with each other.
*THE LEGENDS*
Arron Slmy Music yes they are! 🎸🎸
Aside from the veterans (Fripp McLaughlin and Beck) they are PAUL and Steve the best guitarists right now.
The greatest 👍👍
Two musical titans
So cool watching these two modern masters pay homage to the original
Two of my Mt. Rushmore guitarists just having fun and playing great. Nice!
Paul gilbert is the best master
Killer as always!!!
My 2 favourite guitarists. Wish I could see them together in person.
Good to see two middle-aged rockers within healthy BMI -- that really is a rarity.
Hahaha nice catch.
Yea bmi is relevant to life 🤦🏽♂️
Haha that's a good comment TBF, Steve Vai is actually really into health and it is important
Two giants!
I was right up front! Great show !
I’m AMAZED at how Paul is well dressed etc 👍🏻
