Paul Gilbert Live in Brighton 2016 [50th Birthday Gig]

[@BiggysMusic]

My life wouldnt be the same without Paul Gilbert, whether it was first seeing him on the special total guitar Dvd and introducing me to Shred, right up to buying this bluray at his gig in Bristol a year or two after it was made. He brings so much joy to guitar playing and never stops smiling. I love you Paul, and I hope you are well.

[@rev.j.chriswallace642]

Absolutely the most wide-ranging, tasteful, and talented guitarists in the world. Incredible!

[@frankvsakichiii7384]

He is the best as far as I'm concerned. When he played here in Vegas the last time I went up to the owners of the club where he played (husband and wife) and the husband said to me "well somebody has got to be the best!" And he is a national recording artist so he knows a thing or two about music. His wife then said to me "how come you never told me (she knows I am a huge PG fan)?" I said to her "I thought you already knew." She books all the bands at the club so she knows a thing or two about music. Rock on \m/

[@Hayley.a]

Couldn't have said it any better!!!

Paul gilbert = Eddie who?

[@gregdemeterband]

Do you hear all the Influences he has, playing...He sounds like All of his very best favorites.

[@PortyChannel]

PG is so humble and likable. I love his recent lessons as he teaches really important aspects that make each lesson a multifaceted experience. I feel like he would make any guitarist, no matter what their skill level, feel welcome to come up and jam and have fun.

[@eric_in_florida]

Clicked on this thinking "it might be OK". Holy cow, incredible playing and compositions.

[@WE.R.NOT.OK.W.U.TRMP_GTFO]

The best guitarist on EARTH, with with GILBERT in his name! He doesn't need a Les Paul, because he's also the BEST PAUL!

Blues, RocknRoll, Neo Classical.. Paul Gilbert is an all in one package.

[@victucci5861]

One of the best Paul Gilbert performance so far with his signature guitar model which i like the most.

Paul Gilbert is one of the most gifted guitar players, his record his impressive, He started as a young virtuoso in the 80s, his early compositions are just mind blowing, then his career with Mr Big, solo career,. I like the fact that Paul gets along with all guitar players and bands

[@jamiemoll4128]

This is the best thing I have probably seen in years. Paul kills everything, everyway.

[@CEB7832]

That, to me, is Paul at the absolute pinnacle of his powers. Perfect combination of his old school rock shredding abilities and melodic playing. I prefer that to his most recent, quirkier staccato and slide playing. And his tone here? Godly!

[@Ibaneddie76]

I agree 100%

[@iejcwejheiowcnlwekn]

Multiply your opinion by 10 when you find out he’s using a .50mm thin pick

[@Ashpet1]

Some of the slides are boring, but Let that battery die is the best track he has recorded in my opinion. Both slide and emotional shred!

[@thorndog100]

So apart from all the high pitch whistling, you can hear me say to Paul at 53:31 "we love you Paul" and he replies "thank you very much I love you as well"....That was a proud fanboy moment..It was a brilliant gig and one to remember. I have the t shirt for I can destroy and a pick from that concert and I have a framed photo that I took of Paul with his white Ibanez just rocking out..🎸🎶🎸🎶🎸🎶✨

Meaning of "菊水(Kikusui, water of chrysanthemum)" written on guitar: Derived from a legend that dewdrops fell from chrysanthemums on a river cliff in southern Henan Province, China, and that all who drank the dewdrops lived long lives. In Japan, it is known as the family crest of Kusunoki Masashige.

What an incredible show! Really happy you managed to capture it in such high quality, thank you! Kicking myself as I didn't grab a Blu-ray copy when I saw him in Manchester 2019! Thanks for uploading anyway! Also, what`s the story on your copy of the Ibanez Kikusui Fireman guitar!? Looks awesome! All the best to you

[@squicker]

Thank you. Yes, the Kika Sui is my favourite of Paul's guitars and I got one made by a replica firm, can't remember who it is but I can look it up if you are interested. I fed them some details around the guitar because I took a good look at it when Paul last brought it over. There are a few things to change, the bridge is different for example, also I need to change the volume and tone knobs because the originals are genuine Kika Sui bottle caps mounted on corks that are on the pot spindle. But Kika Sui sake is hard to get here in the UK, so I intend to buy some for Paul on the proviso he gives me the bottle caps (it's one of the few things Paul drinks)! One thing I will tell you is the neck on my replica is NOT at all like the real thing, the neck on Paul's is a proper baseball bat of a thing and mine is a fast and narrow neck, which I do prefer as I have way smaller hands than Paul, but don't we all!?

[@craigtheibanezaddict]

@@squicker Thank you for your reply! That`s really cool, I would love to know who they are, but don`t want to take too much of your time! It`s great that you got to adjust some things to suit you (like the size of the neck) and it looks like they did an amazing job! I hope you manage to get hold of some sake and get those bottle caps haha!
