Mr. Big Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheehan solo live budokan 2009

[@Alan-tr5uj]

I really don't have the words to describe how that piece makes me feel... Its beyond inspirational to see two phenomenal guitar players so locked into one another; they're literally playing as one ebbing, flowing, and breathing Entity. Masterful.

[@wassamattaboy]

what a beautiful joy to see band mates that appreciate and thrill to playing together after so many years

[@wishmaster3000]

Agreed

[@nipulkradmsinatagras8293]

*2 legendary professors of rock music right here.* ❤

[@tiatemjen6070]

This would make a great song. If not, one of the best instrumental music ever! Technique, skills, melody, feeling, musicianship, talent all rounded up in one. Lots of cheers for Paul-Sheehan and Mr Big ladies and gentlemen!!

[@johnnycoolguy9554]

I absolutely agree with you. It's got such a positive and uplifting feeling to it. That main melody/hook is so damn cheery and catchy.

[@maxcast1234567890]

Billy Sheehan is awsome with hamonies on this!

[@stevet.4974]

Im attending Pauls online guitar school and over the years I have come to realize what an awesome good hearted individual he really is, his love for the instrument and willingness to share everything he knows speaks so very well to his humanity. I used to be resistant to listening to Paul's discography because I thought it would just be all shred and Im jealous cause I cant do it... yet. But Ive come to realize he plays with tons of soul and feeling and has encyclopedic knowledge of everything classic rock. Braavo Paul and of course his esteemed and revered partner Mr. Sheehan.

[@MetalHeart8787]

yeah I think Paul is the Best Guitarist, recently made a video about him, why i think he is the Best.

[@AkSamurai69]

I was lucky enough to have an in person lesson with Paul Gilbert. Not ring to brag or one up you, just give more testimony to how kind and great he is. I knew he had hearing damage, but, at the time, I was very soft spoken. And when I asked him a question, instead of asking me to speak up because he couldn't hear me, he cupped his ear and leaned in closer to me. This guitar God is accommodating me! Some stranger who can't play one ounce of what he can. Incredible. Such a humble guy. Best guitarist and super sweet, kind, and funny.

[@johnnycoolguy9554]

I applaud your ability to recognize those things about yourself. Paul Gilbert always did strike me as an authentic guy, he's doing what he loves, making a great living, and he looks really happy. I love celebrating people, famous or not, for being authentic and work to be a positive force in the world.

[@AkSamurai69]

@@johnnycoolguy9554 he's the best. I got a picture picture with him holding his brand new fireman, and I had the 2000 guitar. I accidently clagned them together. He wasn't even worried about it. I emailed him when I got home and he told me they were just fine and no sweat. Just an awesome guy

Billy Sheehan is a pretty good performer to know that the guitar is the more prominent instrument in the song, and gives it the love at the end. Paul and Billy are gods.

They both have three of their strings tuned to E, Paul's 1st, 5th and 6th strings are removed. That's why they play double necks in the first place. Arpeggios from heaven... ;)

[@danipsa1]

Very Beautiful work...

[@juanperez-jk9vu]

This reminds me to Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson in Xanadu's video.

[@Garbleon]

The only difference is that in Mr Big's case both necks have 6 guitar and 4 bass strings. I mean Gilbert holds one with 6 guitar strings on each neck and Sheehan one with 4 bass strings respectively. However, Lifeson had a double neck guitar with six and twelve strings whereas Geddy with 4 bass strings and six guitar strings. I can't see the reason for playing a guitar with a double neck that has 6 strings on each neck, except if there's a different tuning maybe?

[@raulperez2308]

+Leonidas Garbidakis Search for "get out of my yard", you will clearly see that this guitar has two different sets of strings

[@tarkenton3895]

Not sure about Gilbert's, but Sheehan's top neck is tuned like the top 4 strings of a 5 string (BEAD) whilst the lower neck is tuned like a standard 4 string (EADG) Gilbert's would likely be the same, with a baritone guitar at the top maybe? Can't see a difference in scale length though...

[@thygod]

I'm pretty sure one of the necks on Paul Gilbert's guitar only has 3 strings, and they're all tuned to octaves of Eb. I think it's the same for Billy's bass. For this video at least.

[@SantomPh]

Thy God the bottom neck had three strings all tuned to E. Paul used it for "3 Es for Edward" on his "Get Out Of My Yard" solo album

[@intifada2012]

Como se entienden estos dos muchachos, me encantan ♡

[@musicman1012345]

I always did love Gilbert for his technical abilities, but I also love the guys with soul like hendrix, young, and clapton. Some people its one or the other though and then they end up trash talking one which doesn't deserve trash talk.
