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

Pre-order now: smarturl.it/PaulGilbert
Havin' It from Paul Gilbert's new album Behold Electric Guitar.
"I finally wrote a song with long guitar solos! It took me decades to stretch beyond my pop song structure habits, and it feels great to be FREE, and just play, and play, and play. The song still has melodies and themes, and those were inspired by the idea that when you have something good... You still want MORE. Havin' it... don't make me stop wantin' it!"

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...

[@grampageoff]

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

"There is not one overdub on the record. Everything you hear is four guys jamming, listening to each other and making room for each other" - Gilbert

[@BillRayDrums]

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

[@davep2323]

Strange how he changed shirts during this tune with no overdubes......

[@vaughnquinlan6722]

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.

[@StephenDanielAddeo]

I've never met Paul but he seems like he my very well be the nicest guy in Rock and roll. Probably because he's always having a great time.

[@captaintony1227]

I agree its like her is everyone's best friend

[@andrewbonneur7328]

I had the pleasure of meeting him and watching him play at Sweetwater two weeks ago during a recording class. He is one of the nicest guys I have met. Funny too. Great guy.

he is very tall saw him once with mr big i have a video of them playing live on my channel if you would like to see him up front :)

Met him at a mr.big gig in phx, blown away by how nice and humble he was. Amazing guy. 🙏🏻

[@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

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.

[@victorwho744]

couldn't have said it better myself.. I was thinkin' it when I was listening to this. what an incredible journey.. just shows that one cannot ever master the guitar. there are just way to many styles to play and when you've learned them all and "master" them, a new style comes along. I love the guitar and I love Pauls journey through so many styles over the years..
