I dont own a single album of his but I'm a huge fan of the man himself. Brilliant guy without a hint of pretentiousness. I click every video he's in.

[@philfrank5601]

I hear ya!...but you mean to tell me you don't own one Mr Big record? You're missing out!

[@CammedFox]

His solo stuff is absolutely worth owning! He's a huge fan of classic rock and 70s pop and his solo records are a ton of fun songs

[@alistairclifton1286]

I have every single one lol

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

His stuff with Mr. Big and his solo work is absolutely worth checking out.

[@jollyvoqar195]

I have several of his albums - but tend to prefer the fully instrumental ones. Get Out of My Yard and Silence Followed by a Deafening Roar are both excellent (happened to be listening to them the past few days).

[@JohnLumagui]

It just amazing that Paul Gilbert screwing around for 9 minutes is still more entertaining than most of the guitar content on KZbin today!

[@planetsab]

ain‘t that the truth

[@vanguard4065]

most of the guitar content is mainstream subd liked trifle mediocrity but there is a world of great guitar and music on youtube and beyond that would last a lifetime and more.

REVIEW: I bought a PGMM31 last year. Of the mini guitar offerings out there, this was the best. I needed a compact guitar for travel, so I looked at the Squire Mini Strat which had cheap hardware preventing it from staying in tune. They appear to be aimed at kids for bedroom decorations. Jackson Minions seem like novelty guitars, not for serious playing. The Ibanez Mikros are the only line that come off to me as legitimate guitars. I will admit it required a pro setup immediately after purchase to fix the intonation issues, but once dialed in this little f’er rocked solid! The matching gig bag is sold separately, but only cost $20 bucks. I’ve dragged this little axe all over the country on business trips. Fits perfectly in overhead bins on jetliners. After many, many flights and road trips it’s still in one piece and playing great. EXCELLENT VALUE! I’ll also mention that Paul Gilbert was my personal instructor at M.I./G.I.T. back in 1987. Yes, he’s as fun and nice in person. No ego from that guitar hero. He was passionate about sharing his knowledge and skill with his students. Seriously good guy.

[@Brainiac2208]

Damn you have paul gilbert as your personal instructor... That's alone is enough to be flexed to my entire bloodline 😂

[@alfonsobond321]

Thanks for sharing that! What upgrades do You recomend for this pgm mikro? Let me tell You about another amazing 3/4 electric guitar, they baby dean series. They are incredible perfect! If you find some of this, get it!

[@yurijovanka5823]

My PGMM31 has problem, on the above fret12 it doesn't sound same on the lower octave (it can't be tuned on the above fret12) Do you realize that your guitar have the same problem as mine?

[@thinmint6778]

@@yurijovanka5823do you mean that the notes are out of tune above the 12th fret? That would be an Intonation issue. It’s worth it to learn how to do it yourself but you could also take it to a guitar technician who can fix it.

[@AndrewJayGuitar]

I feel like I can safely say, the world needs more Paul Gilbert videos. Brightens your day while melting your face.

[@lyonhartmusick]

The one thing I appreciate about Paul is his dorkyness. It's a joy to watch him. Pure entertainment just him alone.

[@G34Ricky]

I was thinking the same He really does enjoy himself playing and explaining or teaching. Cool guy and amazing guitarist.

[@WithTheGrain]

Yep; he just seems like an awesome dude.

[@salildeshpande7]

He's the kind of uncle, you can never tell if they're joking or being serious.

These larger than life shredders are some of the nicest guys in cyber space! Paul Gilbert is like your next door neighbor or your dork classmate, Michael Angelo Batio is like your next door Italian uncle. Uli Jon Roth is like your college professor. They are not A******s like some of them are.

The volume knob as part of the f hole is perfect.

He really is the best ALL around.....dedicated his life to always getting better, rather than just resting on the fame of his shred. He has also, become a great ambassador and teacher....truly one of a kind.....thank you PG!

he's just the sweetest guitar slinger guy on the planet.

[@JustAPairofLegs]

KingPepeLePew yeah he’s so Wholesome I love his cat too

[@MarkSDD]

I wish they'd re-issue the older PGM's in the Genesis range.

[@austintyler8567]

That would be awesome. I'd love to get the turquoise one from the San Francisco live tape. They did it for Vai so maybe it could happen.

[@battletoad1677]

If they do they better give me a chance to recover from buying a Jem777LNG reissue! lol

[@matthewsolina4920]

I’d like to see an RG560 Genesis. But, if they expanded to Genesis line I’m sure the prices would go up and then you might as well buy a Prestige.

[@chrisf6216]

Thank you SW! PG is a National Treasure - cheers!

[@ronfigg1]

Paul is such an awesome guy sometimes you forget he can play anything and everything! Nobody geeks out on guitar harder!! I’ve seen you live numerous times and even met you!! Absolutely a guy I’d love to spend a day a Sweetwater with!!

It's always fun and great to watch your video, Paul! You are my #1 guitar hero! To me, you are the most inspiring guitar player & musician. Just the way you talk, explaining things and have fun with what you do. I have small hands. I want to buy this PGMM31. God bless you, sir!

[@AdamsMusicandFun]

The more I watch of Paul, the more his voice sounds like David Letterman's voice. I'll stop down and watch any video featuring Paul. He's the pinnacle of virtuosity.

Paul is definitely one of my favorite people ever. Such a cool guy. 🤘🙏

[@LordVikingLive]

I just got the green one. PGmm21 I think it's called. And here is my verdict. IT IS FUN !!! Very fun. Yes it goes outta tune here and there but not as often as you would expect (I haven't changed strings on it yet). It was so fun playing the little thing. I suddenly played a lot faster too. Only downside was frets were a bit sharp on the ends. But I fixed that.

[@yurijovanka5823]

Does your PGMM31 on above fret12 doesn't sound same (not tuned) on the lower octave? My guitar such has problem idk why

[@noelportillo8633]

Paul sold me on the PAF Master pickup. It did not disappoint. Also dude's pretty fkn cool.

[@MiterAlmeida]

What a legend! Definitely one of the most iconic guitar ambassadors of all time

[@michaelcarey9359]

At first it was the old Paul Gilbert doing some blues stuff.... but then we get som of "The Old Paul Gilbert" giving us some shred. I guess this guitar does all kinds of Paul Gilbert, and that's good.

[@blitzmonkey]

All I can say is I'm smiling the whole time. Thanks Paul!

[@sonijam]

Paul and Billy have the best voices.

[@edwinmartinez9787]

This man is one of the world greatest guitar player ever. Wish he was my teacher they need to put him in the list of 10 best player in the world. Gilbert can play anything can play Malmsteen but I don't think Malmsteen can play what he can. He is very technical class act on guitars

[@iejcwejheiowcnlwekn]
