When I decided a few years ago that I wanted to take my playing to the next level (after 15 years of pentatonic box and down picking,) I found Paul Gilbert's "Intense Rock" instructional video and it revolutionized my playing. I later found Rick Graham's channel and learned the economy of picking. Rick has recommended you and I see that he's as wise as ever. Good luck with your channel!
PLEASE release that album! It sounds great. And the prospect of you and Rick playing some live shows sounds absolutely brilliant. Can’t wait to see that!!!
Love all this content so far, and this was my fav as I love PG and think he was at his peak then. I know you mention you “‘warble on” but I think you come across as pretty succinct, and love the fact you do this on the fly without a myriad edits - that’s an sign of a truly great player. Keep up the good work 🤟🤟
Nice job, dude. I love Richie Sambora and Paul Gilbert since i started playing guitar. And some of the licks i can play, too. BUT... you nailed every lick, man. Respect!!! Unbelievable.
Hey Ben .. we're all LOVIN that your back at it again mate !! .. just can't get enough of your aggressive right hand brother !! from all us Aussies at Better Music, Down Under .. keep it up bro, Simo.
Great job 🤘🏼🤘🏼 I didn't realize, just how many of my licks and techniques, ARE HIS!!! 😹 His first instructional video, was my bible. I guess it stuck with me.
Just found you mate & subbed straight away, fantastic playing Ben, love it, Mr. Gilbert is the dogs b*llocks! I had the privilege of seeing Paul & the boys on the Bump Ahead tour 93, Wolverhampton Civic, it's still in my top 5 best gigs ever, it was amazing watching him shred with so much ease, aggressive & melodic, he is truly one of the best rock/metal guitarist from the last 50 years, I still have the tour t shirt from that gig. Great channel brother, off to watch more of your vids. Cheers
The opening section of his solo on the Mr. Big tour that you referenced at 08:53 was the be-all-end-all guitar riffage for me. The way I'm creating a fantasy band with you and @ElEsteparioSiberiano. Ooof.
I've been inspired again! " Lord willing, and the creek doesn't rise." Just an old hillbilly saying for...The Lord is willing, and by His grace, I'm going to get straight to this project at hand. So I, too, can become a better musician and guitar player. Hopefully!
You are damn good at guitar ☝️😁 Paul Gilbert is great, but too fast for my system. Another band (Underground) that took my guitar brain was/is psychotic waltz.....try listen to their second album (story)...."into the everflow" ☝️🤪 A lot of brilliant guitar stuff, very hard with lot of technic (floyd-rose). I still miss out some parts i cannot figure out after 25 years, but if you dare share and learn with me (i got tabs written if you want) ☝️😁

Old school Paul Gilbert is my favorite shred guitarist of all time. His playing was not only fast with excellent phrasing, but INCREDIBLY clean.
These are the same licks I was obsessed about, but I never got to be as proficient as you. Haha You' re ridiculously ferocious. Wow! 🔥🔥🔥
Paul is a great player and Mr Big an incredible band, please shine your light on Shawn Lane, that would be awesome!

Loving the new channel. Keep it going 🤘
Appreciate it!
Nice job, dude.

BUT... you nailed every lick, man. Respect!!!
Unbelievable.
Great as always! Paul is an absolute unit, I'd recommend his album fuzz universe which is highly underrated !
You pick as Paul, you are the best, my hero
Paul is an absolute monster! His playing is a little more laid back these days, but when he was in his prime? Damn!
Keep it going 🤘
Great channel
Wow! Loving these vids....your playing is insane..... Bring on that album ASAP

Paul's a legend
Paul Gilbert guest solo? Nice!
You have to know Jerry Stevenson from B# sharp, how about him? Thanx for posting! ♨️
Brutally good, brutally!
Paul Gilbert , m'y master.

Next Saturday 6pm sharp 😉
@@bentraversmusic Thank fuck! THAT'S how I initially discovered you YEARS ago. And welcome back, you BEAST!
Thats your band name right there. Ascend⚡️Descend.
I'll bet he got that pentatonic sequence with the flat fifth from listening to live Randy Rhoads. I know I did.
Cool stuff :)
Your speed game are insane. Show slow notes for us too. I like Loner or For the love of God. Simple but good notes.
keeping it real
sped-up
You're the picking equivalent of 'there is no overkill, there is simply open fire and reload'

Dude….
Paul GIlbert is also Buckethead though he may deny it. That is what makes him such a cheeseball and a con man. I don't trust any riff from him at all.
