      That was brilliant...and a reminder of just what a guitar hack I am. I'd blame it on the strokes I had that made playing impossible for years, but I wasn't this good before them...still...the strokes...ha ha ha..

    I love how Paul Gilbert has continued growing as a musician over the years - okay, he might have become known for his 80s and 90s high octane shred, but he's clearly got some real love of the blues with his uncle and recently been trying to grow his vocabulary, it's great to see. You never stop learning.

I mostly set up lighting and did playback, I met Paul and there and he was a really awesome guy, very professional and courteous. Then I forgot about him and after stumbling through youtube at 1 in the morning he's here and he looked familiar and then i realized how i recognized him. 1. this is awesome. 2. nostalgia 3. i'm sure no one cares. 4. goodbye

      People who've only heard a little Gilbert think of him as a mindless shredder...nothing could be further from the truth. He's one of the best players in the world and videos like this show why. The best musicians have tons of ability - tools - and the sense to know when to use what tool. Gilbert has a full toolset and is expert about knowing when to use them. Ditto for East. Great video, thanks to all for the lesson.

    Not just an exceptional instrumentalist, but an exceptional musician has the ability to harness another player's ideas to create their own. Incorporating motifs in rhythm, tonality, dynamics, style, from the people you're playing with. To me, that's the measure of an extraordinary musician. Knowing when to give and when to take, when to complement and to contrast. It's an enormous set of variables transformed into one coherent mind shared by the players.

    I love Nathan East's bass playing! So great. And I also like the drummer and the guitarist. I will take this idea and have an evening with our drummer and guitarist - just to jam around. Normally we're just rehearsing songs for the band - but I can remember decades ago, where I just "played for fun." And this reminds me to just do this again. Thanks to all guys involved in this video, great job!

    One of my favorite parts of the video is where Nathan goes "and then of course we would trade off.." and Paul is like "say no more!" immediately starts throwing out a lick

    Holy cow...did anyone even notice how good the drummer is? a lot of time it's atually the drummer leading the jam.. did anyone notice that the way the drummer plays his fill sounds like he knew what the bassist is gonna play...

      Patrick Mao sign of an excellent drummer, knowing how to compliment the other musicians rather than just beat the crap out of the drum kit and add drum fills every 5 seconds (cough cough Lars Ulrich)

    • @CabelCabelCabel
      @CabelCabelCabel 5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Well they were all filling in the most obvious place in 4/4 time signature and 4 bar patterns so it's not that hard :D I mean he totally did well but I wouldn't call it magic though.

  • @ScisaacFisaac
    @ScisaacFisaac 5 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    "Showbiz Kids" by Steely Dan. D minor the whole time, instruments leaping around and improvving off one another, individual dissonances making it sound briefly like the chord is going to change, but it never has to and never does. Great song.

  • @toddliggett4093
    @toddliggett4093 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      you guys are missing the point... they simple major and minor phrases (not progression as Agent put it) put together in a way that fit perfectly. I hope you go back to the basics of pollutens :/ might need a reality check

    • @Pollutens
      @Pollutens 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Max Malmgren I was refering to the phrasing at 2:11, its pretty standard major/minor mixing, achievable after 2 years of guitar playing maybe? Mind blowing phrases as meant above by you require much more that just mixing 2 scales. They need something special, which im sorry these licks and phrasing that are here lack. But anyway im just discussing music not being an idiot :D

      that's almost what it is. The art of improvisation basically requires that you become so knowledgeable and fluent with music theory and with your instrument that you can formulate licks and phrasing as spontaneously as you would formulate sentences in your spoken language.
