‼️Paul Gilbert Masters Yngwie in SECONDS! 🤯 Dave Kushner talks guitar lesson with Paul Gilbert! 🎸

[@BS-gj5ot]

Paul Gilbert is just the best. Is a walking jukebox, technical monster, can play anything that uses a pick, and just a super cool nice dude.

[@konowd]

My favorite shred guitarist, never met him but seems like a good guy

[@markwillis7931]

I had a chance to meet Paul in ‘97. He is AMAZING and is also a very nice guy. Very funny too.

Yngwie Malmsteen is a GOD! Inventor 40 plus year career and many people don't know he has composed a full symphony orchestra, a full New Age album that went into the new age charts at number1.

[@thelolguy007]

THIS is how you do an interview. Let the guest talk 🙌. Brilliant 👏👏👏

[@mrpappa4105]

💯

[@ernesto_longhi]

What I find incredible is that YM managed to reach a level of playability never seen before at the time, even though he was very young. The greatest proof of this is that there are guitarists who only reached a similar level after reaching an advanced age. YM and other guys like him sacrificed the early years of their youth for the sake of the guitar, aiming for this astonishing level. This shows the unsuspecting that it's not just partying that makes a rockstar.

[@MastersofShred]

Well said! 👏 Yngwie was a rare gem for his time🙌 And there was no post video editing during that period. What you saw is what you got🎸 #LEGEND

[@SavDog262]

A lot of people don’t understand that after EVH, Malmsteen was the guy every guitar player was chasing, even the most famous icons we all know.

[@ristokolttonen9208]

Allan Holdsworth was always way ahead of Yngwie. Both in terms of technique and more advanced harmonic work.

[@JimboSlicePFC]

​. That's not the case at all.

[@funkster007]

A friend of mine threw in the Rising Force cd for me in the mid 80s. Black Star comes on, my jaw just dropped. I couldn't even comprehend it, and I thought I heard everything on the guitar. The fact that guys like Gilbert and Becker picked that style so quickly is just as mind boggling.

[@chrislestermusic]

“If I did I wouldn’t have known it because…he didn’t have the bucket on.” 😂

🤣🤣🤣

[@RolleHardrocki]

Don´t forget that most of the scale/arpeggio runs you heard on Yngwie´s first records are very much identical to what Uli Jon Roth did on he´s Electric Sun records released 1979 and 1981, and probably recorded a few year before that. Yngwie don´t talk much about Uli but it´s very clear he must have heard Uli. There is also some song from Scorpions time like "Sails of Charon" that have much simlar runs! On the record Beyond the Astral Skyes released 1985 , recorded at about 1981-82 you find it all, arpeggios and runs, and even Zeno Roth , Uli´s brother plays on that record, full skilled on all those licks!

[@ivanterrrivel]

Uli was practically the beginning of the guitar shred or practically a proto Rock shredder, years before the LA guys (Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, George Lynch). And Van Halen in their club days played two songs from Scorpions, "Speedy's Coming" and "catch your train".

[@PhillFest]

You are correct! On the “Mike Varney Spotlight Column” that started it, Yngwie listed Uli Jon Roth AND Al Di Meola along with Richie Blackmore and Allan Holdsworth as influences. Di Meola and Uli never got mentioned after that, at least not in all the interviews I read, but it makes sense when you listen to him the impact those 2 had on him. There’s even an audio recording of when Yngwie visited GIT, Steeler era, where he says that “DiMeola and Uli are my guys”! I’ve heard it

[@vincentgarzoli3197]

On the demo tape that Yngwie sent Mike Varney that led to his being reviewed in Varney’s Spotlight column in Guitar Player magazine, Yngwie cites his guitar influences as, Ritchie Blackmore, Jimi Hendrix, Uli “Rote”, ‘Ary Moore and Allan Holdsworth. So, yes, he actually did acknowledge Uli in the beginning.

[@damonstewart70]

Uli set the blue print

[@FlightdeckJohnny]

Well. He plays the song on his inspiration album.

Yngwie Malmsteen is a legend a true Icon and an inventor! After 40 plus year career the guy is still thriving still going strong. The amount of billion dollar companies that are using his name his image putting out great products with him is insane! Fender signature model, Seymour Duncan signature model, Dunlop signature model rumor has it they are coming out with two more products with him, Marshall signature model, Ovation signature model, Lewitt microphones the list goes on. Last album he released went straight into the Billboard charts at 80! In China, India, Japan hit the charts at number one! Last European show Sold Out some as much as 5000 seats. Jeff Bezos used his music yes only his music in Blue Original. He is honored in three museums in Sweden, Italy and France. The Mayor of Bologna Italy greeted Yngwie Malmsteen as Yngwie Malmsteen gifted his guitar to the city. I will always be a loyal fan looking forward to his US 40th Anniversary tour!!!!

I went to MI in 1986. Paul was my private teacher for awhile. Fun times.

[@Thedownboysfan]

Man you need to expand on what that was like!

[@TheLochs]

@@Thedownboysfan watcha wanna know?

[@Thedownboysfan]

@ I’d love to know what the lessons were like? Both from MI and PG! Do you feel it was worth it? Did MI help you get the job you have today or led to it? What skills did you get from PG that you use/d in your playing.

[@TheLochs]

@@Thedownboysfan Paul was a little green then as he had just started teaching. But, he was enthusiastic and just a really good guy. I learned a few runs of his and certain string skipping ideas. Plus some sweep stuff that he doesn't do anymore. I was already an advanced player so I really just learned his certain runs and patterns, etc. Lessons from other teachers were great. Frank Gamble taught me how to sweep/economy pick. I still use his ideas to this day. Scott Henderson was awesome. There were a lot of great teachers there. I have been a pro player for over 30 years so MI was a good place to learn. Is it worth it today? I'm not sure. With online resources it's not really needed to go to school anymore. I still have all of my paper/curriculum from that time. All of the lessons they handed out each week I made into 2 books. They are on my shelf as we speak. I could go on and on, there is a lot to tell. Hope that helps! keep picking!

[@BlizzardOfSteel]

So effing sick, great interview

Thanks for checking out the episode! Happy you enjoyed it and I appreciate your support!🙏🙌🎸🎸

[@paulusrumanouw3176]

Paul Gilbert told a different story though. He said 1st time hearing Yngwie made him practice playing fast metronomically cuz he wasn't able to yet. So I'd guess this story happened way after that and that's why Paul was able to quickly explain and replicate it, so it's not his 1st time hearing Yngwie.

[@doocies]

Paul Gilbert mastered Yngwie style shred like 40 years ago

[@gneric85]

Way back when Yngwie first came out, my cousin's guitarist was like Paul Gilbert. Listened to the first album and could pretty much play along within an hour. Some people can get it quickly. I don't have that. 😊

[@epic103]

Just for the record... I'm pretty sure Gilbert played Yngwie's stuff before he met this guy. There are early videos of Gilbert playing Yngwie excerpts when he was very young, so I'm sure he was familiar with him.

[@calvinfreeman2112]

Mike Varney called Gilbert, and played Yngwie's Demo...I think it was the intro to hot on your heels from Steeler...it blew Gilbert away...the picking especially...Gilbert's own words: "I better practice harder"

[@bradhardesty3361]

I loved that Steeler album. Definitely the first time I heard the neoclassical approach to the electric guitar. I never listened to much Ritchie so it was new to me. It also lead me to become a big Keel fan shortly after

[@2good2betrue3]

Nice story!, Paul was really a brilliant guitar student at G.I.T, he is really the guitar jukebox. But Dave's story actually showed how great Yngwie Malmsteen was at that time. I met a pro guitarist who also graduated at Musicians institute, and He said that in 1985 there is even a course/curriculum named "Yngwie 101" purely made to satisfy the hunger and curiosity of guitar students in order demystify "Rising Force" and how Baroque Classical music and shred is actually a beautiful combination. Imagine a 19 year old guitarist from Sweden and his fretwork is a subject being studied by the best music school and top guitar players. Man, Yngwie FTW.🤘

[@RikkShredLifestyle]

Yes ...Gilbert helped me with 3 note per string patterns when it was basically unheard of then...yes...relative minor...jamming and sharing ideas with so many great players in 85 when I was there. Oh the STORIES!!

[@frettingitforward]

[@lobatokof]

Listening to this is so good when you like racer X, specially that 1st album. Street lethal still mind blowing to this date 😛🤘🏼

[@dontuateytu2557]

Jimmy Herring was in the same class as Paul.Even though I didn’t consider him a shredder Jeff Young of Megadeth was in the semester before Paul.Also Norman Brown was in the semester before that and Frank Gambale a semester before.In a year and a half from 3-83 four world class players went to GIT.There was a guy named Pete who lived with Frank we called little Holdsworth was there in 9-83 9-84…..There was a fusion shredder French guy who played with his fingers like Matteo in Paul’s class also.Instructor Danny Gilbert was a monster also and counselor Scott Henderson!!! It was Super competitive but those guys were the cream that rose to the top.

[@JAYDUBYAH29]

Probably not just Phrygian. Phrygian Dominant, the 5th mode of harmonic minor. Naturally occurring symmetrical diminished and augmented chords patterns, 3 pairs of semitone combinations that give tension and release, one big minor third gap for distinctive character. Instant gravitas and baroque sound and the kind of lightening fast dark mysterious dramatic passages as already explored centuries ago by violinists and pianists.

what makes malmsteen special compared to the rest of the shredders that came out before him; during and after …. yngwie is self taught, no teachers, no internet or guitar books. and then you add socialistic sweden coupled with yngwies spontaneity and presence … no one came close especially prior to accident that said gilbert vai are monsters ( gods )

[@herbcanter2114]

This is a ridiculously absurd take . There are many famous guitarists who came out before Yngwie who never took a lesson in their life and are more popular than he is , much more popular actually .

[@mrshredder0076]

no one at the skill level / stage presence of yngwie …. yngwie is a game changer like hendrix and eddie… may not be the best or most popular but in the early 80s before his accident …. no one past present or future could match his skills stage presence or improve subjective yes, but yngwie will always be the godfather of shred love him hate him or envy him watch him live prior to 87 it’s just a shame he peaked early and didn’t push or challenge himself or stay with a good singer he could have been much bigger
