I like his legato style, it reminds me of his hands moving like a butterfly or hummingbird if you know what I mean by that but yeah the lead in this song is ridiculous. I don't get how he can do sweeps the way he does. It's incredible.
I check in with this video every few weeks to see if it ever gets boring... it doesn't. His playing is stunning... those enourmous hands moving with fluidity, precision and feel. A real inspiration. . . And hes a nice guy not at all full of himself on top of that.
I've been coming back since this video was uploaded, I'm still left in awe hahaha. Probably was 18 first time I heard this. I'm now 29. Damn, time did fly after all...
Chronologo Paul doesn't sweep in this song, and he developed a string skipping technique that replaces sweep picking and uses almost all the neck. Easy for him with those alien fingers!
When people say "you need play with feel in order to be good", I actually think of this. He's putting every bit of feeling in his body towards playing this hectic masterpiece, it doesn't matter that it's super fast and technical
Same. This is about 15 times now. I’m still in awe at the speed, dynamics, tone, precision. I’ve seen all the great guitarists...but Gilbert, for me, is the Amadeus Mozart of guitar. He’s the total package.
I've always been a huge fan of Paul Gilbert, I consider him the most technically proficient player of the modern age. Not only that, there isn't a guitar style he can't play. Flamenco, Metal, Blues, Classical, Rock, Neo-Classical... to name a few. Such an inspiring player and teacher. I learned so much from listening to him talk and play.
Guthrie Govan is better and more versatile than anyone else. But Paul is up there as a rock/metal player. Also, possibly might be better at alternate picking than Guthrie, not sure.
I just can't hold back my smile when the Comfortably Numb reference hits. Watching a super shredder pay tribute to a legend like Gilmour, who probably never shredded in his entire life, is just goose bumping.
I scrolled past your comment, then a minute later I'm like wait..what's that bass line. I didn't listen to this a lot but all this time I missed it!! Thx.
I studied with Paul at G.I.T. when I was 16 yrs old! Paul is a monster guitar player with every genre of music theory under his belt! He just prefers speed over mellowed out slow playing, but I assure you he can sit down with any guitarist and play whatever they choose and he will teach them a lesson or two! The more you know the better you're off! Like Yngwie says, "more is more and less is less!"
***** lol this is kind of unrelated, but have you heard of the actual musician buckethead? Kinda puts a weird twist on the guy's nickname if you have lol
Watched this clip countless times when I was 17 or 18. At that time I was just focusing on his shredding skill. Now that I experienced a little more recording sessions and gigs myself, I'm more impressed by his sense of time and rhythms. Every notes are on points. Not to mention he did it in one take as if it's nothing.
Good God.... From 3:12 to 3:25....He is stretching his fingers across 6-7 frets with his freaking thumb over the neck....... Imagine if he put his thumb behind the neck and stretched ...He would probably stretch across the Entire Universe :XD
2:40 chugs is one of my favorite transitions in all guitar. Such display of context in music. Even though it's way slower than the run prior it fits so perfectly and you couldn't convince me there is any other logical replacement for those bars.
Do you recognise the progression? It's Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd, I adore that section of this song haha. Paul can pretty much do anything he wants musically and make it work on so many levels :)
So learned this song took me a full 8 months after 4 years of learning. Ive drifted off for a bit and coming backa and im no where near the same spead but just saying its super difficult. This and dee by randy rhoads was by far the most difficult songs i ever learned
@@cinicalmisfit It's quite hard, been working on it now and then for 2 years. Now its time to learn the whole. For me the trickiest part is the main riff, the fast run no problem but the pull offs after is hard to get clear.
The 2Cellos rendition of this song brought me here, and I am so glad it did. Paul's superb virtuosity made this 4 minutes of my day a transcendent experience.
I remember getting the Racer X Scarified soundpage out of Guitar For The Practicing Musician magazine ( all you OG's remember those right?) back in '89 and his playing blew me away then and here 30 years later he continues to inspire and impress not only an amazing player but an amazing teacher 🔥🤟🔥
After all those years this is still the single most honest and impressive piece of guitar playing to me... Just fantastic. No stage lights no added fx just pure genious🥰
@zardoz jones That might be, you can also clearly hear the unmixed guitar from the amp in the room. I think this is his best take ever. Atleast from all the takes I can find
I don’t think I’ve heard this song in 12 years or so. I just rewatched this whole thing with my mouth completely agape. Just cannot believe how good Paul Gilbert is here. Insane technique and the songwriting is FANTASTIC too. Not shredding to show off, just pure talent with everything
This is black magic stuff right here! His finger reach is absolutely astounding. His control almost seems effortless on his part. Truly one of the guitar gods
@@akidk1499 Japanese people have better taste in music. They love guitar music there, even today. Western kids don't listen to guitar music anymore. Just some autotune crap, or another untalented person who speaks over music. In western top 20 chart, there is rarely even songs with guitar in it The kind of music western kids call "hit songs" these days are depressingly bad, predictable chord progression and untalented people who somehow have become "stars". Singing bad melodies badly with autotune, or speaking over music. Bands that are big in Japan have more interesting chord progression, they use more advanced chords like 6- 9- or 13-chords, more chords per song, and guitar solos are in like every song. Modern western music isn't like that anymore, it's down to 4 basic chords with no guitar
I remember when this was uploaded here and I spend several hours with my tabs and watching this video to learn how to play this. Memories bring me back here the watch this again after all these years.
2023 , someone here ? Update: lets meet at 2025 01.01.2025 - You, party animal yesterday or you sitting at home happy and comfortable with your family or with your love… You that worked or You maybe sit alone , or you are feeling alone in crowd. You used too much Dug yesterday that will not wake up at first day of the year, or you sleep before 00:00 and wake up early today.. To all of you nerds , happy and healthy new year. 🔥💥 Wish you have no difficulties in life except typing technical difficulties in youtube 🤘🏽🎸
I know a few people who are convinced that nobody in the rock (or contemporary) music world can match the virtuosity of classical soloists. If I could ever show them this, it would shut them right up! Whatever musical genre you're into, this is simply stunning technique.
I am a classical guitar student and I garantee you there's a lot harder stuff in classical repertoire than this. This is hard but after some practicing with the metronome and the right picking technique I made it to play. The hardest piece I ever saw is Villa-Lobos Étude No2. The best I can do is less than half the right tempo. On classical guitar there several techniques that are very difficult although it doesn't seem to.
That's the point in the end. There are thousands of guitarists who could play this, but you need to actual MAKE a song like this to stand out. Also you know when PG is playing because he has his own unique style. At the end of the day, you can be a technical player but if you don't create something with it then you're just an audio program.
2:41 onwards with those tapping slides….haven’t watched this video for about 10 years and it’s still absolutely fucking awesome, the true sense of the word
What’s most impressive about this is how he manages to move his pick out of his two fingers while tapping then back again in split seconds. Man is omnipotent.
2:23 - I love the way Paul plays this next part live. It's pretty different from the album version and it sounds so juicy. You can't find tabs for this version either but I'm pretty sure I've seen this version elsewhere as well so I think it's just the version Paul plays live
Paul Gilbert's crew once told him that he couldn't play a show because of technical difficulties. Despite no electricity for 11 miles, he was undeterred and played unplugged for several hours. Slash then appeared in the sky, mounting a flaming lion and flanked by Dio and Vivian Campbell riding a dragon. They were so impressed by his immense mad skillz that they gifted him an amp of solid gold. Thus the result is this tribute.
One of the cleanest, most proficient guitarists of all time. His sense of rhythm and timing is always on point
Absolutely correct sir...
I like his legato style, it reminds me of his hands moving like a butterfly or hummingbird if you know what I mean by that but yeah the lead in this song is ridiculous. I don't get how he can do sweeps the way he does. It's incredible.
Totally, yet when I mention him to other guitarists they've never heard of him!
SO TRUE
I love his acoustic samurai album
Shouts technical difficulties, proceeds with no difficulty
And full technic
You misunderstood: the technical difficulties are ours, when we try to learn to play a bit of this song 😅😂
I check in with this video every few weeks to see if it ever gets boring... it doesn't. His playing is stunning... those enourmous hands moving with fluidity, precision and feel. A real inspiration. . . And hes a nice guy not at all full of himself on top of that.
I've watched this video well over 100 times. And Guthrie Govan's "Fives". Love them both.
Mate 🤙
I've been coming back since this video was uploaded, I'm still left in awe hahaha. Probably was 18 first time I heard this. I'm now 29. Damn, time did fly after all...
ten years now once a month
Why would you check in to see if a song you really like gets boring? makes no sense of course it wont get boring
Paul looks like a guy who's just learning to play the guitar up until the moment he starts playing.
Palonero so true
I guess that 95% youngsters don't recognize him
Lolollll n then he starts to *SLAY*
@@albertq1717 hmm, true
They'd be surprised how he'd shatter their guitaring dreams well at least for a temporary while 😁
@@albertq1717 I'm a 1991 kid that spent hours and hours of my highschool life tryin to replicate him... of course we recognize Paul :)
I love how gilbert plays really fast yet still has melody to his playing- takes so much skill.
Only other person I’ve ever seen have that was Jason Becker, dimebag, or Rhoads
@@chilledcadaver9205listen to Guthrie govan, better than all of them
this is the most beautiful thing i've ever heard. listening to it for like 15 years now
Same here still here
Same
I love the Gilmour-influenced section that starts @ 2:23. Seriously, one of my favorite guitar passages out there.
Yep, it’s the comfortably numb chords!
Also riff from Queen - Ogre Battle at 1:10
Dude! I have just had this very thought in my head haha
Yes master ! U r correct !
Fr I was just listening to comfortably numb solo and it reminded me to come back here
He's so accurate and clean in his technique you can clearly distinguish each note on the sweep runs.
I didn't see any sweeping though
Christian Basa Yeah you're right I wasn't trying to mean sweeping, more like alt picking runs
Chronologo
Paul doesn't sweep in this song, and he developed a string skipping technique that replaces sweep picking and uses almost all the neck. Easy for him with those alien fingers!
SantomPh And if you read the previous replies I stated that I used the wrong concept
Damn right very clean
When people say "you need play with feel in order to be good", I actually think of this. He's putting every bit of feeling in his body towards playing this hectic masterpiece, it doesn't matter that it's super fast and technical
Paul has never not played with feel, but it’s easy to tell when somebody isn’t. Compare this to present day Yngwie…THAT is playing without feel.
Many people who have no idea equate "feel" as meaning "play very slowly". Stevie Ray Vaughan for one would like a word with them...
I can drink beer, hold my guitar
Same 😂
i wanna hit dem like but its 666 already

@@garthok6224 nice joke
Dude, guthrie dude..
Guthrie’s improv is the best of anybody
Guthrie Govan is better and more versatile than anyone else. But Paul is up there as a rock/metal player. Also, possibly might be better at alternate picking than Guthrie, not sure.
I love the singer. Really lets Paul shine
john peters yeah honestly
Paul is a singer. He sings with his guitar.
❤lol
Great vocals he showed when he did a “straight up” cover of Paula Abdul.
I can watch it again and again and again and again since 10 years....... it's sublime!
This has really inspired me to sell my guitar. 🤔
😂 Genuinely laughed when I read this.
LOL
Hahahaha....true and I already sold it😂
Paul also does online lessons tho so maybe.......
Is it sold?
I just can't hold back my smile when the Comfortably Numb reference hits. Watching a super shredder pay tribute to a legend like Gilmour, who probably never shredded in his entire life, is just goose bumping.
Honestly it really does give you goosebumps...I keep having to repeat that section haha
I scrolled past your comment, then a minute later I'm like wait..what's that bass line. I didn't listen to this a lot but all this time I missed it!! Thx.
bro i just realized that shit
amazing reference
Still not a patch on Gilmour's solo though - no hate for Paul at all - but the solo in CN is one of the greatest ever.
@@jpgduffI have a hard time ranking it above Tornado of Souls or Blackbird by Alter Bridge
After so many years this is still so amazing.

Hahah exactly!!! I first attempted this back in grade 8/9 so. I still can’t play the intro cleanly even yet :::::((((
@@tinflesh Well you know what you have to do...
You need a 3 foot pinky
dude i idolized this video back in the day, havent been here in ages. omg.
Everyone can play fast now, but playing with feeling like this guy...that shit's impressive.
i snapped 3 strings while attempting it on my Air Guitar

coolsachin2737 Lolololol.. Thanx man...But that just might be the truth...God he's amazing
true that
coolsachin2737 So.. Are you a freaky guitar player like Paul😉
Every time I hear this song it blows my mind like it's my first time hearing it... absolutely insane playing and such an underrated guitar player.
He's not remotely underrated. Everyone who knows he exists thinks he's one of the greatest players ever. He's not particularly well known, though.
That run at 2:40 ending with the 1,5 tone bend: Reaoooooooow! Dudlududludududludu duuuu! Pioloolooiolooioioiboioioawleoloolol DRRrrr! Awesome!
I know! It's sound so heavy and metally! Shivers down my spine :)
@@PbPomper Yessss, shivers too! Same at that "dark" run at the end, 4:06… sounds fantastic!!
loooooool
@Wonderpuss McDunderpants It's a close second, yes.

yeah this is the best version .. u can see it thru the number view
Personally because of the: ,,TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES" at the beginning 🤣
This versions is fuking osom
Thank you for Buckethead.

1:41 When someone LITERALLY has more talent in their little pinky than in my whole body
Good skill, i am Verry happy to hear guitar melody from Mr.Paul👍👍👍
2:23 pure feeling, genius
That bend is haunting.
That section of the song always reminded me of something Gilmour might have played in a Pink Floyd tune.
@@papagriz33 yeah, me too. Probably also because it uses a chord progression that is very similar to Pink Floyds Comfortably Numb
This song was based on a true story.
Paul Gilbert's crew once told him that he couldn't play a show because of technical difficulties. Despite no electricity for 11 miles, he was undeterred and played unplugged for several hours. Slash then appeared in the sky, mounting a flaming lion and flanked by Dio and Vivian Campbell riding a dragon. They were so impressed by his immense mad skillz that they gifted him an amp of solid gold. Thus the result is this tribute.
I think I might love you.
And thus began the Cult of Paul, the one true religion.
This is perhaps the coolest story I've ever heard on the TH-cam comment section.
Omg thats so sad😭😭😭Alexa play jordan by buckethead
It's almost sickening how fucking good he is
I could help but notice isn't a part of the progression similar to comfortably numb? 2:28 to 3:28
+Devtanu Roy 100% it is that, not even similar, exactly that. just masturbating notes over comfortably numb's solo rhythm section.
Even so, David Gilmour couldn't play this in his dreams
infinitelz2 Yeah. Gilbert's definitely his own man though, phenomenal guitarist. Having some fun with this track i guess
“Music has become so overworked that the only way to progress is to mimic the past.”
~ History in a nutshell
omg yeah man its so similar
2019 still watching it
Timeless and mind-blowing video ,, Paul gifted
I broke my hand five times trying to play this song
If guitar-skills are measured by the length of your pinky, this guy is the king. And if it isn't, he's still fucking insane.
When I get boring from guitar, I can sit my guitar for few weeks but when I came back for this godsend song I'll immedietly pickup my guitar again
This version sounds even better than studio one!
