it's not only his incredible skills in guitar but also his humble personality that makes him really GREAT.. PG you're the BEST!

[@kps2642]

exactly

[@hortonstewart6074]

I had 2 roommates that started going to MI in Sept 1986. They came home one day telling me about this young guy that was one of their instructors. they said he sat there ripping sweeping arpeggios and blew everyone's mind. It was Paul they were talking about. He was such a super cool guy. I saw him with Mr. Big 3 years ago in Nashville and talked to Paul after the show. One of my old roommates was with me at that gig and Paul remembered him and we talked for a while. Billy Sheehan was super cool too.

[@austintyler8567]

Paul's a friggin encyclopedia of guitar riffs/licks. He always amazes me.

[@j.ritchieriveramusic3937]

Paul is the coolest guitarrist on the planet. He's my hero!!!

[@roughroadface]

What amazes me is how he pass his wisdom about guitar playing to other.

[@mattsiemens]

It's unbelievable to hear him talk so candidly about taking lessons. What an inspiring guy.

[@SomeDudeOnline]

I've been struggling with that Colorado Bulldog lick since I first tried it like 10 years ago. It's nice to see Paul struggle with it a little lol.

[@billywilliams8753]

lol. Totally understandable.

[@shredgod6394]

his fingers almost caught fire at 25:13

[@bionicfingerz]

Paul is one of my favorite players Amazing Player Great Songwriter Cool Guy

[@wowokey]

im gonna need 3 cycle of life to ever equal his skills

[@Zager-recap]

wowokey You just need 1 cycle of life and the secret is not practice but what thing you should practice.

[@winrar]

this is awesome!!! thanks for uploading

[@guittarwizzrd]

15 year old me would love to have had access to all this paul gilbert lessons back in my day we just had the three same vhs tapes to watch over and over again util about a couple years later I got the two young guitar videos on bootleg.

[@YummyBananaFish]

This is a great upload! Much, much appreciated. To me, Paul stopped feeling like Paul soon after this. Watching this gets me all nostalgic.

[@davemieze9021]

YummyBananaFish I kinda agree although Paul is always excellent. The Fuzz Universe album was Epic! Paul is an evolving musician as we all are. However, Early Paul Gilbert is the best!! Second Heat by Racer X is THE BEST shred guitar album ever. Him and Bruce were on fire 🔥. Nice to talk with a fellow Gilbert disciple! Rock on!

[@fistoftulkas7335]

Another one here... I have to agree with YBF too, i loved the intense, more shreddy Gilbert from the 80s to the early 00s, including his power-pop solo records wich are fantastic too... And yes Fuzz Universe is monstrous, some of his best guitar's work there, after that one though i was just a bit disappointed with Vibrato and the next ones... I like them too, and Yes there's nothing wrong with evolving, Gilbert is really the only shredder who did that, and i like that he keeps learning and exploring different genres like jazz, blues and such... I recently started to like his last works more, but i'll always miss the younger Gilbert, and i'd like to see Racer X again...

[@31rdsmith]

Glad you’re around, Paul. Keep it up!

[@runrunrun6777]

I want that H-S-S hardtail PGM!!!!!

[@jonnyquest8774]

Can you imagine giving Paul Gilbert guitar lessons?? Talk about intimidating!

[@chazbono5991]

37:15 paul is such a trip. Easily one of the meanest players to ever walk the earth, but so humble and down to earth

[@rozarioperovic4800]

Whenever I pick up the guitar I feel like a kid walking into a huge warehouse where you have every toy ever created and every candy ever made and your parents just leave there and say to you, "It's ok, just go for it!!!" So I do, I try out all these different guitar's and choose which guitarist I'm going to learn from!! So I pick up an Ibanez and walk over to Paul Gilbert's booth and learn something valuable for myself from Paul...... that's how I feel playing guitar and I hope that it always will!!! Thx for the lessons and music Paul, see you next session!! Fellow freternist, R.A.P🎸

[@gregmize01]

Sir Paul! 🎸🎸🎸

[@SimonBorro]

Waouw ! It's my friend Paulo !!!

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

This guy really needs to join a band!

[@auntjenifer7774]

That Flying V at the end is the best tone I've heard from him !

[@Dan6399]

So cooool,,,,Thanks Paul....

[@moderndeluxe7466]

very cool

[@liys540]

50:18 That lick just like colorado bulldog's intro solo

[@iganpparamarta8813]

William Li because it is.

[@peterevans3448]

Um, I want that burning panther t-shirt.

[@OperationEndGame]

great insight. A lot of guitar players tend to lose sight that playing fast is not the "be all, end all".. To be able to pull back and play some tasty licks, memorable hooks, and then use the fast licks as tension builder to a riff, as opposed to going mach 4 from beginning to end.

[@stitcha123]

oh PLEASE tell that to yngwie.

[@OperationEndGame]

+stitcha123 tell him that he is boring to listen with.

[@chazbono5991]

Pepsi Lovin' Asian Janitor dude Yngwie can rip tf out of the blues, lol

[@warezpl0]

that flying v at the end is so cool goddamn, would love to own one of those

[@sixstringlove8242]

warezpl0 Not really. V's are very cool to look at but are very unbalanced. If you stand up and take your hand off the neck, the headstock will dive for the floor. And forget sitting with a V. You have to wedge the two halves between your legs to keep it in a playing position. Not very comfy. But, some have made it work for them. It is just not for everyone.

[@OperationEndGame]

Brütal Löve technically, the V is designed with classical guitar sitting posture in mind (the bottom V-part is resting between the legs)

[@mikemorgan548]

+OperationEndGame yes, Paul used my '78 V and let me play his purple RG in '88

[@mikemorgan548]

+Mike Morgan @ G.I.T....sorry 'bout that

[@josephjoestar3275]

+warezpl0 That's an Ibanez Rocket Roll II

[@gill2675]

My instructor back in 88

[@sukadukaku]

38:09 good question so far ...

[@bukeksiansu2112]

He is Neo (Matrix) from Shredd scene..

[@theoriginalbillholt]

Ha! I was LITERALLY thinking that he needed a pop filter or a windscreen on the microphone mere seconds before he mentioned it. I bet that was picked up on by a lot of people.

[@chazbono5991]

Anyone have the full clinic? I want to see him with the Flying V

[@bitzmil9319]

PG has the most staccato tone in all guitardom.

[@levisalvini4110]

I agree 💯

[@Busyfingers24]

Blackmore just joined the chat...

[@bitzmil9319]

@@Busyfingers24 and agrees

[@benignsoul]

John Wayne on guitar... 😂😂😂 Amazing Pablo Gilberto

[@DillonBerkley]

What else has Paul played the bach piece at 45:00 minutes?

[@JohnsOnStrings]

enfing of Eudomania Overture definitely... (possibly Whole Lotta Sonata also)

[@pulidomi]

What pedals used?

[@emmawatts7875]

bucket head keeping it kewl

[@gill2675]

Is paul buck thread?

[@tGhIeNrGmEiRte]

50:32 is that the same guitar Buckethead used to use?

[@ClamsAnonymous]

i think buckethead had a jackson, or a gibson. paul's using an ibanez.

[@tGhIeNrGmEiRte]

Paul Gilbert is actually buckethead

[@spaceavenger54]

@@ruskyhrahsel7723 No, he's not. Stop stating stuff you have no clue about.

[@nucemgd]

gotta love that his tone is bone fucking dry

[@ahmadm1471]

He is sooo..

[@PanosGuitarHero]

1:15 hahahaha

[@iDealMedley]

is this the clinic that captn lee talk about?

[@TheTacitusKilgore]

***** There's an MI in the UK? Whoa!

[@golf-freq]

We don't need PG to "expand." We need him to shred. We have other players we can listen to for "expansion." When we need shredding we should be able to look to Paul. This said, he can do what the fuck he wants, obviously, and it will more than likely sound sweet. All hail the Paul.

[@snuffy166]

wholly shit he plays pat travers better than Travers himself, WOW go Gilbert!!!!!

[@digittydog]

Why did he play/ practice so many things staccato?

[@Fogertian]

O_O

[@c-LAW]

rated PG = drug free

[@ruskyhrahsel7723]

Paul Gilbert is actually buckethead

[@marcelogaea1064]

Paul is NEVER a throwback. He was once a normal teen bitten by a radioactive Les Paul Custom thus giving rise to the superhero known as Racer Axe; or Captain Fuzz Universe, whatever works.

[@CyroTheSpider]

I love Gilbert, but man did he have an absolutely horrible tone here.

[@sonsauvage]

Matej Pivec ha, yeah man. he's always loved the buzz

[@iijj]

I hope that Dennis dude that asked Paul to play the Colorado Bulldog lick felt bad later. C'mon man, you shouldn't just give stupid requests like that. That's kinda demanding, no?

[@wattage2007]

His 'blues' playing is just so sticky and predictable. Paul has turned his back on the type of playing which originally turned people on to him.

[@iganpparamarta8813]

wattage2007 Gilbert and Petrucci are my top 2 guitarist. So I can say this : yes they don’t get the blues.

[@milenagabriela5800]

@@iganpparamarta8813 Interesting to see that, at least Gilbert, can now evade that criticism.

[@bmann792]

Paramarta Iganp then you haven’t seen the end of Petruccis guitar solo in to live forever live in Tokyo. These guys get the blues but the style of music they play isn’t 12 bar. Doesn’t mean they don’t get it

[@wattage2007]

Milena Gabriela I disagree. His blues playing is tedious.

[@styvbardhardnacke2985]

It's too academially...

Lmao wut
