Paul Gilbert - Havin' It (Official Music Video) 2019

[@zenn5150gaming]

Its so awesome to watch musicians of this caliber,the drummer,bassist and keybard player all obviously know the song but watch how they keep their eyes on Paul to see any subtle changes he makes on the fly and adapt to them...Pure Musicianship...These guys are fire...

And no click tracks were harmed, annoyed, bedeviled, chided, unnerved or disheveled on this album. :D 100% human flow.

That doesn't mean they didn't cut and paste different takes together. The whole band is still playing together as a whole unit.

[@BillRayDrums]

@@vaughnquinlan6722 Yeah we did like ten versions of this track and the video guy Jon edited the footage together. Some of the "B roll" (ergo "not PG") may be the part being played or not. The track itself is one contiguous piece with no overdubs.

[@MeTuLHeD]

It is a tribute to his skill as an artist that Paul solos for over fives minutes and rarely repeats the same musical phrase/idea...unless of course he is playing the melody. His mastery of the instrument is simply stunning. His improvisational flow is crazy good. He's been a special talent since his metal days in Racer X. He's only improved with age.

[@Slears]

I follow Paul for such a long time...in my younger Guitarhero years, he was my main influence..and still is..so cool to see, how much he has improved as a musician over the years...from the Scale shredder from hell to a mighty versatile Guitar wizard..I also met him a couple of times...such a nice guy..down to earth...a role model for every musician

[@victorwho744]

Came here for Gilberts guitar, found myself only listening to the drums after a few seconds. What a monsterdrummer geeez...And the bassplayer is fantastic too...Ohhh man!!

[@grampageoff]

THIS is the kind of instrumental music the world needs more of. A group of absolute monsters just in the moment. Bravo.

[@Sutherlinite]

[@BillRayDrums]

Much appreciated, amigo

[@diego2246]

Soft touch to hard and wide vibrato, strong rock to jazzy phrasing. Paul has it all!

[@TheMrCC21]

He has said that blues has helped his ear, intervals, and whatnot. He has gotten sick of metal because a lot of players just sweep. Not saying he doesn't play metal, but they don't do anything unique or different.

[@sideparting6845]

@@TheMrCC21 Thanks, this is very interesting. I did not know this. I got into PG because of his articulate shredding and don't find his blues playing or tone so captivating (although it's great!). Bizarrely Satriani has always been rooted in the blues and it was his melodic hummable phrasing that I find easier to listen to; perhaps it is the repetitive nature of his melodies (eg some form of "chorus" in a song) instead of the "let's go on a journey for a song" form that PG is taking here. Anyway very enjoyable, although heading into a middley nasally tone these days.

[@Melodeath00]

No disrespect to PG, he's an eternal master and will always be one of the greats, but that's a very stupid statement. The last decade has been a golden age for Metal as far as innovation and experimentation is concerned. And yes, please name one good Metal player that just sweeps.

A bit difference playing but it's still Paul.. Mr. Gilbert you made my day, Sir... 🙏

[@nulife022]

Saw Paul a few months ago live - even greater than I thought he would be. Don't want to be a downer, but there is some cause for concern for guitar music. Here you had arguably the greatest electric guitarist in the world, maybe ever, and the smallish club was barely full. Listen to the stuff young people listen to now - there is no guitar in it. Sure there is still guitar in country, but pop and dance, always the mainstay of sales, have none. Guitar unit sales continue to fall, from over 2 million five years ago to under a million now. Guitar Center is close to bankruptcy and thinking about changing it's name. Maybe some young guitar bands will come along and change things, but guitar will soon be finished as the dominant instrument in music, a title it has had since the late 50s. Before that, it was accordion, believe it or not.
