Paul Gilbert - The Process of Translation | AMS Interview

[@etrhythm]

Every P.Gilbert appearance...I learn, am motivated, recommited.

[@andyn5379]

And entertained

[@arcidiavolo]

yep. he's magic

[@danielmontague3813]

Paul is always such an entertaining person to watch. He has such enthusiasm for music and the guitar, and it always comes across really well, totally motivating me to pick up a guitar and play. 🎸🎸

[@skipneumann1]

Every video with Paul in it, he “just figured this out this morning” amazing talent

[@lancelucifer4851]

Paul is a great guy and by far one of the greatest guitar players alive. Great vid guys.

[@billgates5458]

Mr. Gilbert is in his own level of excellence. Paul can play so many different versions of music melodies which so many great other guitar players cannot emulate. It took me a while to appreciate everything Paul can do and understand everything he is doing all at the same time. He is a definite a perfectionist in his own right and once you understand everything he is doing all the time, it just sets him so far above so many great guitar greats out there. He is definitely on his own level and what is one of the best things about Paul is that he is so down to earth, approachable, and easy to speak with. There is no attitude that comes across that says "I'm great and you suck and since you are not on my level, I don't have time for you." He really is just a great human being and person. I really do appreciate him as a person, his total attitude, and approach to teaching his skills as he is very open to show anything he knows to show anyone how to do and help anyone how to do what he does and how he does it. All in all he is just a great musician with a great attitude with a love for music and an approachable person to connect with for letting anyone who is seriously interested in what he is doing. He will take the time to explain how and what he does. He is really a special person and approachable. Definitely not like a lot of the guitar greats our there who have attitudes larger than the room the occupy. Thank you Paul for all you do and give back to all us novices who strive to hopefully one day be a 1/4 as good as you are. Much appreciated my man!!

Paul is such a legend, i dont have enough words to describe his greatness.

[@DennyBahana]

The amazing Mr.Paul Gilbert 🎸🙌

[@j0nall3n]

Constant Craving... thank you for yet another great recommendation Paul

[@j0nall3n]

^ "Maybe a great magnet pulls all souls towards truth.." ...and now I'm checkin' out Trail of Broken Hearts... it's pretty neat how accurately he got feel of vocal line. A great track as well

[@aliensporebomb]

Paul Gilbert: could he be the ULTIMATE cover band guitar player? He knows every song, in every key. Amazing!

[@TemplarGuitar]

Love Paul Gilbert. One of my early influences, for sure. As for AMS... I'm a life long friend of Bill K (will not post last name, for privacy etc.), but... he's your Brother in Law. : ) He got me a beautiful surf green strat (70's style) from you guys YEARS ago, at a great price, as an "all in the family deal", and i appreciate it greatly Bill, and AMS. Also, I'm friends with Dave Koltai (Was the most recent owner of Supro prior to being bought by Danelectro), and my son worked at Supro for many years. So I guess the bottom line is, when you've been at it as long as i have, everyone starts to become family. LOL. Great video, keep them coming!! Guest spots aint just for Andertons!! (and next time i pass you guys on the road in Jersey, I'll stop in) - all the best.

[@ItsVictoriaG]

AHHH new Paul Gilbert interview! New classy Fireman release! All the excitement!

[@ianvollmer4928]

Paul is the best human being!

[@FingalPersson]

Paul Gilbert would be awesome to have as a music teacher for a year! Wonder what I could achieved by that, but I'm guessing a lot! I guess that will never happen to me though!

[@astrofreq]

I've been looking up to this guy since 1988. Don't stop being the coolest, Paul. His fingers are easily an 1 1/2 longer than mine.

[@etrhythm]

@@astrofreq Haha...ain't that the truth, me too

[@guitarlife6190]

What an amazing musician and great guy. Paul is bad ass for sure

[@CFB1996]

His love to music is just incredible, amazing player and such a humble and easy guy!

[@dariocrocetta9026]

A few years ago in Italy I was fortunate to have a dinner with Paul Gilbert and he told us he used to work with Kevin Elson back in the beginning of Mr.Big, who had worked with Lynyrd Skynyrd too.He said that sometimes he tried to play slide on some songs and KE used to joke at him saying that since he had already worked with some of the best slide players (Lynyrd Skynyrd) his slide playing was basically not that good.Well, in these last years he’s become sooo good at it that I think now he could play with Lynyrd Skynyrd without any problem!!

[@justsumguy2u]

Poor Paul has rocked out so much over the years that his hearing is half-gone. He's one of my guitar heros, an all-time great

[@garnetbezanson1404]

He's been endorsing hearing aids for a while now.

[@justsumguy2u]

@@garnetbezanson1404 Interesting....I didn't know that. I guess the noise from all of those Marshall stacks caught up with him

[@GillBoldberg]

I always wondered why his speech changed over the years (slight lisp) and I’m guessing this is the reason.

[@edrianmay]

He is like a MTV/radio playlist...he knows so many songs...it is incrdible.

[@tipplers3417]

Paul is so damn talented. My favorite virtuoso

[@orquestraoceanica1245]

Really enjoyable interview, great wisdom shared. Thank u guys and Mr. Gilbert!

I NEED that Fireman

[@TheCyberMantis]

Paul is a wizard. A living legend. ( He had Randy Rhoads autograph and lost it! ) 😱😣

[@enlighteningsoul.]

Paul Gilbert is Just Great..... As a person, as a guitarist..... 🔥💯🔥💯

[@craiglizt8074]

I really enjoy listening to Paul talk about singer/songwriter music from the '70s and then hearing him play it. He does it all the time in different interviews and it's great stuff! Makes me wish popular songs were still written with those kinds of elements.

[@CashontheBarrel]

31:55 you should turn that into a short. Great perspective about aging with the guitar.

[@DavidOakesMusic]

Every interview with him Is PG. None of that macho chest beating nonsense. None. Zero.

[@papasmamas1]

That Fireman is fire! Although I preffer the original red version.

[@ParanormalResponse]

8:55 starting to sound a lot like John Madden in the old age!

[@Cantstandtherock]

The fact that Paul OWNED a “Spice Girls” CD is kind of scary! He is a very cool guy, and a pretty good guitar player! 😂😂😂

[@teddyboy9116]

I love PG, he gets wrongly overlooked

[@jasonjones7461]

The thing with him having guitar modified to have only 20 frets makes sense. I have a very old electric from 1958 and it has only 20 frets and i noticed the potential for that greater variety of note dynamics with that extra room for pinch harmonics. Out of all my guitars I only have one with 24 frets because of that. If you like to use lots of dynamics it's def better to have that extra bit of room

[@theharvardyard2356]

everyone always assumes thinner strings snap easier but it's not true. there's less tension, not more.

[@claudevieaul1465]

Exactly. I've gone down the rabbit hole and even put a 07 set (the Rev Billy Gibbons one) on one guitar - just for giggles. Sounds GREAT and plays absolutely like a dream.... That 07 is still absolutely fine, even after playing bends of 3 steps up for many months now. Just don't dig in as much. Play according to what your fingers feel and your ears tell you...

[@theharvardyard2356]

@@claudevieaul1465 yep, I've had one set up with Zippy Slinkys since they came out with them and love it, but only for lead. Playing with 7s for rhythm still doesn't feel great for me especially for barre chords, and fretting the low E with the thumb is really hard not to pull sharp.

[@Cantstandtherock]

I dont like them smaller than .10-.46. I need that feel, .09’s feel to spongy for me.

[@GFJDean35]

Yes, but there is also less metal there to resist being broken. Tune a 9 up to E and a 10 up to E (from the same manufacturer/set). Find the minimum amount of force it takes to break that 9. That exact amount of force shouldn't brake the 10. Having 10/9ths the thickness of metal more than makes up for the added tension.

[@theharvardyard2356]

@@GFJDean35 I don't know about "force" but I know I can pull it a lot further before it breaks. I can do three step bends no problem on .007s but a three step bend on a .010 will break it after just a few times

[@timwhite5562]

A lot of guitar players look at players like Paul Gilbert and find themselves envious of their ability to do one thing or another, while I'm just envious of their long fingered hands. I'm 5'8" with sausage fingers, I play Strats 80% of the time and for whatever reason, I favor fatter necks. This guy can make chords that take up the 1 to the 12th fret like I play an open G, I'm lucky if I can span 5 of them.

[@mikesandell]

Was there any type of gear that you used on those tracks to help accentuate it?.... distortion 😂 love him

[@Raimondo-k4j]

Sus is the Satch secret. I met Paul and scared him and asked if he wanted to go out for a drink. I saw him at some bitch azz school. And asked him to play the intro to green tinted sixty's mind. He failed the first time hit the amp with gain and nailed it. The class gasped. He played the drums rest of the class. Paul is my go too. Satch Via Nuno Petrutchie all fear him. He is terrifying....hate his blues shit. Long live Frenzy....

These guys were awful. The guy with the touch of grey hair touches his wedding ring every time Paul doesn't answer like he wants. Needs that reassurance. Easy psychological read.

[@ChrisBeam]

I wish these “interviewers” had even a tiny bit of knowledge of Paul’s discography and maybe they wouldn’t have asked such stupid questions and wasted Paul’s and our time with generic crap. Sucks when you have a living legend giving all these interviews to people who don’t even deserve to sit there and talk to him, just because they sell product. Let us true fans do it. Ridiculous. At least it’s Paul Gilbert and I can listen to him talk and play all day long, even if he’s answering questions he’s answered 6 million times before.

[@ibinTZY]

I agree with this. they didn't even try. But well at least they gave us another Paul Gilbert interview so I will ignore their uselessness

[@Oonzied-xc2oj]

thought this right away

[@russellzauner]

Thought he wrote a whole album about moving out of Portland because it sucks and off to North Dakota because somehow that's cooler. Looks like he didn't go anywhere, wah wah wah hope you guys enjoyed the food here because we work hard to keep it that way, regardless of the disrespect.

[@kmetal83]

Hosts are cringe AF. Paul rules

[@Trace7173]

The guitar is becoming a leftover instrument form an old generation. It will soon be looked at the same way the harmonica is. It had a good run, made a lot of people rich and famous that normally wouldn't have gotten a second look. But it's time to step a side. It's like that South Park episode, where playing the video is cooler than the actual instrument

Shredding %100 of the time is lame. I went and saw Mr big , it was a lame. Shredfest. A mass of garbled sound. Not good

[@taylorbrubaker816]

Please dont ever use these two to interview again. Paul is amazing, the other two guys are terrible. Literally insufferable.

[@rockywalls0074]

To be honest I just don't like the guitar shape even the neck is too big. This guitar will look so awkward to those with short and medium height guys.

[@nuggetstew4380]

Do these guys even play guitar? I feel like some of these questions and their responses were out of touch or just something that’s been asked billions of times. Paul will explain what he’s doing on guitar and these guys go “sure” “yeah” “okay” “right”, just feels like they’re saying whatever for Paul to finish what he’s explaining.
