Speed+ technique+melody+clean+picking= Mr. Paul Gilbert😎

[@fadetoal]

Yes sir! Thanks for your comment!!

[@ctpmark]

Without a doubt, my favourite guitar player.... so much feel ... thankyou

[@Barnekkid]

I love the minimalist sense. It's all about the guitar.

[@muratklc1078]

He probably has the best guitar in the world. Amazing tone. Don't need to mention that he is the best guitarist ever.

[@fadetoal]

No doubt my friend! Thx for the comment! I agree!

[@NeazAhmed]

Speed + Technique + Melody =PG

[@ami2evil]

I can only imagine to enjoy life as much as he does...

[@YummyBananaFish]

This felt like the old Paul. Maybe the nicest playing I've seen from him in a few years.

[@kennethmcnamara2098]

Hey he knows exactly what hes doing. It's simply fuckin amazing. I can see why Bucketheads proud to have studied under him . awesome!

[@StratCat5282]

Wow! Definitely puts his stamp on that song but maintains the feel of the original. Amazing job, respect!

[@Tuanguitarist]

Sweet melody

[@conradsylvestre9517]

After watching this I think I have a favourite guitar player now

[@fadetoal]

That is exactly what I said when a co-worker told me to check him out. The tune that really got me hooked is called Technical Difficulties by Racer X.

[@conradsylvestre9517]

Wow just wicked thumbs up

[@fadetoal]

Thanks for the comment! I appreciate you checking out my channel! 🤟

The genius of Jimi Hendrix was that he took great risks. The risks didn't always pay off, but that's what made his playing so interesting. There was an element of danger. But with Paul Gilbert, it's different. Everything seems so thoroughly planned out and rehearsed, almost robotic. I know it's not a competition, but I prefer Jimi's style for this song over Paul's style. Jimi's playing seems to come from the heart, like we were glimpsing into his soul. Whereas Paul's playing seems to be purely mechanical, like it is written by an algorithm. Which is still very impressive. Don't get me wrong, Paul is a monster, but I think this song demands a more soulful performance. Paul's tone here is great, but it gets monotonous throughout. His tone lacked dynamics, and therefore stunted his ability to convey emotion.

[@fadetoal]

I really appreciate your comment. Jimi definitely took risks. Personally, i am glad he did with his music. He has certainly influenced me. His use of the wah wah has always been one of my favorite things about his playing.

[@boyracer]

This guy has infinite licks man

[@fadetoal]

Muhammad Akmal Ashraaf absolutely!! What was your favorite part?

[@boyracer]

MetaleX music love it when he turns to the old Paul Gilbert, before he starts lowering the gain 😂

[@arieskurniawan8355]

Saaaaluutt.......👍👍👍👍👍

[@yorta8029]

Cool how the whole band is the opposite colour to the original band. Love Paul's playing as always.

[@Dr.Fumancha]

The drummer didn´t get the payslip.

2:17

[@suspiciousdoge9yand104]

1:04 almost green tinted sixties mind

[@flahprius]

Wait, Paul Gilbert has ears?!?

[@fadetoal]

flahprius yeah, no headphones, I'm going to ask him about that. He actually did tell me he has some hearing loss. He said it does not affect his music but mainly with conversation. He has trouble hearing people talk.

[@flahprius]

Yeah, maybe he's playing master volume Marshalls or they're not cranked so he didn't need the hearing protection. There are a couple of recent interviews where he can't hear the other person (the NAMM one with Lukather, Morse and Petrucci come to mind). Bums me out because Paul is the nicest guy, tons of charisma, killer guitarist and most positive person.

[@fadetoal]

flahprius I'll have to check those out. Yeah Paul is such a humble guy, very down yo earth. He must have had that young attitude most of us had back in the day, ear plugs? Who needs those! I'm glad he is still at it.

[@flahprius]

Me too, my friend! Hey, thank you for sharing this video, I always enjoy every video of Paul's playing.

[@fadetoal]

flahprius your so welcome sir! Thank you for checking out my channel and commenting, Its a privilege to chat with you!

[@cbbennett1015]

I think Paul can do this song better

[@Reissuleipa]

Paul is great and I love his playing but he makes the same mistake as so many great guitarists do when covering this song. WAY too long solos. This song is originally just over 2½ minutes long and for a reason. It's a beautiful ballad with a kick ass intro + solo. When you just do random 4 minute solo the song loses it's purpose.

[@fadetoal]

Reissuleipa as an instrumental guitarist I am biased. I absolutely love it. I could listen to this for days. And have over and over. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I could see how some feel this way, my wife thinks I solo too much all the time, haha!

[@Muang-GuitarExperience]

Try to play only 3 minutes on the same chord progressions then you will realise how good Paul Gilbert is.

[@Phoebedumplings]

Reissuleipa for Most players i would agree with you but Paul is just on another level, he makes Long Solos interesting.

[@marktrentecosta]

Too much shredding and really weak vocal......Jimi would say if he were here today... Take it slowly and try to make your playing have substance and not so much chop and best rock competitive attitude covering the best rock guitar player that has ever lived

[@fadetoal]

I appreciate your comment. Shred is not everyone's cup of tea. Paul is not only a shred guitarist. If you get a chance, check out his catalog. He actually has an album tribute to Hendrix. It is amazing. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D6XzgvCdDyRU&ved=2ahUKEwiq1NG4hunuAhXHGs0KHQhFAjkQ28sGMAl6BAg3EAc&usg=AOvVaw1VbrKwuhVaI6Y-bw0bJRqA

[@oldgit4260]

I really wish Paul would use a Fender Strat, as they're the best for projecting someone's personality, that guitar is quite ugly too.

[@yonikup2865]

i actually really love his guitar, especially the red one and the late 90s white one

[@bgm9517]

@Odell Mateo have you checked out the sweetwater video of his new guitar?, I REALLY want that neck pickup

[@tomcrean4980]

Hate that guitar get a fender for fuck sake to me and i dont play guitar sounds like a bad cover of steve and jimmy

[@yonikup2865]

such hate, are you ok? do you need a hug?

[@mikeraia2605]

The guy can play for sure. But that is 1 ugly guitar, sorry.

[@fadetoal]

Hahaha, yeah, some people dont like it. It is actually and Iceman turned upside down and it is called a Fireman. Paul Stanley has the signature Ibanez known as the Iceman. I like them both but I love the S series and RG series body style better myself. I appreciate the comment!

[@bgm9517]

@Odell Mateo how's the neck humbucker?
