Paul Gilbert - Guitar Solo 03-19-1988 (Live at "The Shark Show")

[@RecoveringReporter]

The beginning riff sounds like "Take a Walk" off the Mr. Big debut album.

[@BradPham]

The 80’s was shred-tastic. Big amps and high-speed licks. (And big hair!)

[@dougsteeleguitar]

I have always wanted that guitar. PG is a beast!!!

I like this Paul best he sounds better than any body

[@sabotageret6562]

0:26 Man Paul was just insane back in the day in terms of speed

those taps aren’t especially fast at all.

3:40 Insane attack

[@iganpparamarta8813]

If I’m not mistaken he used to prefer 1.0mm pick in the 80s but later I believe in mid ‘00s he used thin pick 0.6mm. I wonder why he changed his pick size even though he still sounds the same.

[@sabotageret6562]

@@iganpparamarta8813 I know that his picking hand style changed... Earlier he used to use 3 fingers and curved his thumb... Maybe that's why

[@iganpparamarta8813]

@@sabotageret6562 true. In one of his short video he keeps changing right hand technique just for one solo. In RacerX era he just picked like ‘normal’

2:20 Sweep Tapping

[@knightfall9394]

He isnt sweeping he’s doing one of his string skipping licks

[@sabotageret6562]

@@knightfall9394 The other parts yea But when he's tapping, he's surely barring and doing vertical scales.

[@BuddhaBKFL]

@@sabotageret6562 no hes string skipping with added taps

I was front center for this...if this was RESEDA Cali???

[@axis5150]
