SCARIFIED - Episode 12: STRING SKIPPING

[@EgorKlenov]

"String skipping is easy" Thanks, Paul.

[@deathbypotato5030]

Yeah, Thanks Paul

[@briantaylor340]

This guy is a genius on so many levels. His understanding of the instrument is nothing short of masterful..

[@joeeng577]

He's such a good teacher too. And he loves to teach. He's not afraid to show everyone exactly how to play his stuff.

[@enetimepass8752]

By far the best teacher one can have. And Paul is such a nice person, one cannot even imagine him getting angry or annoyed. There's just pure fun and happiness in him.

[@Mcrapansel]

this is one of the best series' ever, sooooo goood, the information, it is pure gold paul you are simply the best!

[@synthamesk]

Couldn’t have said it better!

[@nandoholgado3050]

I could play in a loop the four seconds @2:44 the rest of my life. Love you, Paul!

[@shredicusmaximus]

Only Paul can use string skipping and easy in the same sentence. Such amazing talent and a phenomenal teacher. Intense Rock 1 changed my life as a musician forever.

[@Timathus]

3:40 "Lemme play that a little better..." My heart did a little flip when he played it again.

[@songman007]

sure wouldnt mind the tab for that lick...

[@yonikup2865]

@@songman007 slow the video down and watch his fingers, wouldnt take you long

[@ingeniouswild]

@@songman007 It's the same pattern of 3 notes across 2 strings, repeated at the 3 string "pairs" and at various positions. Figure out the first and you'll get the other pairs and you can just randomly walk up/down. What's interesting is that just as he says, the 2-note-string is only picked first then a pull-off (I looked at the video at 0.25x speed ;). Though, my left hand fingers get tangled up now instead..

[@songman007]

@@ingeniouswild haha, yeah I think I figured this one out a few year back... when I commented on it there was no slow down feature in KZbin... so I did it old school... watched it a million times...

[@ingeniouswild]

@@songman007 Yeah I think they had 0.5x for some time but the sound was garbled on 0.25x, now it seems to work decently on 0.25x. But sometimes I want 0.1x... haha... my ear can only "buffer" like 3 notes at a time, it's hell to sit and rewind on KZbin a thousand times..

[@christineayres5339]

He's still got it

[@TommoGuitar]

enough for 10 people!

[@LuisCarlosAlvarezRebaza]

Never lost it.

[@TheBrightSounds]

Golden spirit Paul. Such positivity.

[@Meursault86]

Shoulda called this segment, "Money for nothing and licks for free".

[@unijabass]

Lol, I went to comments to leave the same comment, and it's first on the top

[@Mrravena]

Paul, you're the man! Thank you for your devotion and passion towards the instrument!

[@johndeeregreen4592]

Paul, you have to be the best teacher on earth! I went from a straight Blues guitarist (35 years of playing) to a shredder in 3 years, mainly by listening to your lessons and explanations of things. I believe, many great guitarists have no clue where their techniques come from; you, however, have an explanation for everything, which helps to break it all down into a learning technique called "chunking."

[@neilmarsh7437]

2:44 with the end on it is THE lick and you can tell by the smile

[@arponchakraborty3331]

Where is this lick from? What song? I can’t seem to find it! Please let me know!

[@Secretary.of.Education]

​@arponchakraborty3331 not any particular song, but he uses it in his live Mr. Big Tokyo 1992 unaccompanied solo

[@joebastable2556]

such a cool guy I have no interest In shred guitar and apart from a bit of death metal I never listen to it, but I just can't stop watching Paul Gilbert as he seems so genuine and gifted.

[@gavinjuge6621]

For real dude

[@jamesm.2068]

Paul Gilbert is a prodigy on guitar.

[@daoyang223]

I got into the virtuosos first before I got into death metal and tech death and deathcore stuff. I still listen to this guy though haha! This guy, Joe Stump, Greg Howe, Satriani, Friedman/Becker, and Lane are all great guitarists that I still listen to.

[@Deichwerkstatt]

The BEST video series ever !

[@jasongooding987]

I learn something new every time I listen to Paul Gilbert for more than 60 seconds.

[@remoteviewingartistmusicia9010]

Paul a Class Act......a friend was his guitar tech in Japan for a small tour,told me he is a super nice guy who can play anything on guitar.

[@rikshelly13]

Brother, you are lit. And yes, the legacy of it all. The details. Thank you for being "that guy".

[@chaskillcode]

Spectacular player, teacher and artist....thankful. Chas from KILLCODE

[@tastjohn1889]

Paul Gilbert is awesome guitar player!

[@StevenMotsinger]

Incredible player

[@fredriksixtensson7665]

half the fun in these videos is the great guitar playing, other half is Paul's being so goddamn nice and pleasant

[@pranavphx]

Such an unbelievably humble guy.. Someone you might mistake for your helpful guy next door

[@Robmgwan]

What a great guy and musician

[@patrickfoster4586]

So great to hear him mention Skynyrd one of the greatest bands of the 70's for sure! Paul is the man. Cheers P[>

[@kanishkghosh007]

How can someone not love Paul GIlbert?

[@simonsanchez23]

Love Paul Gilbert for having opened my eyes and made me understand I suck.. and I will always do :)

[@eddyguizonde401]

"all day, all night". string skipping face-melter. paul:"it's not so different". the worst part? mechanically, he ain't wrong. but that lick at around 2:44, i'm stealing that. thanks, paul! great teaching, as always!

[@ESavoy777]

If you like that lick, search for "Paul Gilbert Solo" and check the first video (HC60XNiS-MQ). He does that lick (and on different positions there around 1:00). Great stuff from Paul, as always!

[@aimfuldrifter]

I've been learning that lick for 2 or 3 years for now and I still can't play it as fast as Paul does :)

[@menamgamg]

That lick is fucking sick :) Just stole it too haha..

[@MrTubularBalls]

If you play the lick, you have to do the facial expressions too! Sort of Sheldon Cooper on shrooms.

[@aimfuldrifter]

Eddy - that lick is one of the most challenging licks I've ever learned. Still to this I can't play it as fast as Paul does it in the Mr. Big video called "Paul Gilbert Solo" on KZbin. Paul is always great when it comes to rhythm analysing.

[@CharlesHerrenbruck]

These videos have helped me progress my guitar playing in so many unexpected ways. Thanks Paul!

[@CaryChilton]

Paul is so articulate and cerebral !

[@nemogre]

Paul makes it look easy but god it ISN'T! Paul thank you for making a WORLD of difference in my picking with your advice and licks. I became a much more in control and confident alternate picker. You also was the one who introduced me to string skipping arpeggios.

[@CBolt17]

as amazing as you are at shred and such, the one thing I get from these videos about your ability is rusty you're rhythm sense is f'n phenomenal. all around player, a true inspiration.

[@aimfuldrifter]

Yup. Paul's vision of patterns, knowledge of the rhythms and the use of notes is enormous...so intense and comprehensive. He taught me more than any other guitar player though some see him as a shredder without a sense of understanding.

[@gerardangelo4366]

Wow...As a fan i'm in awe of his playing!! As a person who never played a guitar I'm like a deer in the headlights!

[@johnmoser2689]

I love these scarified episodes super cool Paul Gilbert is awesome

[@iancrombie8862]

What an amazingly,nice,unassuming guy!🎸

[@d.nakamura9579]

I find Paul Gilbert delightful

[@BurgerFlips]

Wow this was really helpful

[@davh5490]

Paul Gilbert au Top!!!

[@aaronbergAPB]

awesome guy, great player

[@BigKexpress]

Great stuff Paul

[@bankruptbritain6103]

Yeah got that Paul thanks

[@triathlonSDhsp]

I definitely went,”ooohhh”. Lol. Sooo good.

[@samueltractorton2088]

Kickass!

[@cemsarioglu5947]

He is such a genius. I met him once and he is absolutely genius and down to earth. Great series by the way.

[@jpmcmullan8666]

*plays something godly* “hold on, need to play a lil better” *plays a completely different godly lick*

[@arvindtiwari3541]

Fantastic fluid tone. Great stuff. He literally made me go woah :p Gotta love this guy man!

[@croslowj]

paul gilbert and vito bratta best guitarists ever..

[@vickykongkong]

Paul Gilbert是我心中的吉他之神和吉他导师！

[@markusaurelius777]

MONSTER guitarist! MONSTER hands! :O

[@michaelmessina5341]

Medical issues with my hands and old age have robbed me of my string skipping abilities. I can now only do them with 2 notes per string with basic pentatonic scales.

[@cman32826]

Doubt that Paul Gilbert will see any of our comments, but I just have to say that Paul Gilbert, John Petrucci, and Steve Vai..top 3 that changed my entire paradigm of what was possible on the guitar. Like all 3 for different reasons, but PG is probably the most complete for me.

[@johndeeregreen4592]

You would be surprised. Paul can be very hands-on with his pages and even emails.

[@johndeeregreen4592]

If you want to get right down to it, the master of them all was Shawn Lane.

[@aimfuldrifter]

He isn't. I was writing an e-mail to him through his official page like 5 years ago and he didn't respond. He uses YT but never responded to anyone I guess.

[@MateoBakija]

LukeInside imagine if he respond to every comment and yt post, it would take 24/7

[@LORENSGODANG]

I like it

[@philrarumangkay4434]

🥶easy😵‍💫???,..like tell everybody on d street that I'm Paul Gilbert🤗🤭😂😅,.. i love this man👍👌🤩🤩🤩

[@crotchet1586]

Ooooh!

[@GazMoz78]

Yes Paul it's soo Punk!...... Maybe I'm being a touch sarcastic,maybe..... Love these video's man and YOU ARE the man :-)

[@mikep7525]

Kemper Amp sounds great.

[@みーチャンネル-e7s]

ポールの手がでかいからスキッピングは簡単なんやね❤️　私は大人用のギターが大きすぎるのでキッズギターを買いたくなりました！　大好き❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@xeroblade012]

Insane picking technique!

[@BrianAuer]

Practice for nothing and the 1:02

[@electriccreamman4977]

if anybody ever needed ridilin, paul sure does,but that's why I like him

[@sashingopaul3111]

Can it count to be on par if you can string skip 4 string in a arpeggio that goes EDGE

[@JGCSRT]

“Let me play it a little better “ Wait. . .there was a mistake? 🤔

[@guitarworship812]

😂😂😂

[@emilyscandycakes4530]

I can skip a meal...but not a string...and he says its easy...

[@oldtimerf7602]

The old school sounds soooo much better than the hyper speed notes.

[@arponchakraborty3331]

What is the song at 2:45? It’s a famous lick from a song but I can’t find it!

[@MiomirP]

Kempering

[@rickardandersson1887]

I read the topic as if it was string skipping on a 12-stringed.

[@XpSAN]

hello paul. can u do the video review of that kamper profiler behind you? thank you so much.

[@oh_my_gauze]

Is his fingers length also help with it?

[@LOLLYPOPPE]

Not really

[@pidamospizza9280]

It's seems easy.........WHY!?

[@-l_gavin_l-]

Bach!

[@somekindofdude1130]

how I can take lessons from this amazing guitar God and how much will cost me? plz if you know tell me I want it so badly

[@conleyfamily493]

Master Kostas he had a website where he uploaded lesson videos. idk if it's still up, but it was great. or you could buy his old lesson video where he has huge hair and a hot pink guitar. it's probably on KZbin still. his and Vinnie Moores were my teachers for years. I still use them when I'm feeling sloppy

[@gh2568]

"Makes people go OoOoOoOo"

[@theshredguitarist25]

What guitar is he playing here?

[@superclaw900]

does anyone know where 2:40 is from?

[@larsheuker]

its just randomly played

[@TaxideaTaxis]

Thats a classic Paul lick. If you look up "Paul Gilbert solo" it's the one where he's not wearing a shirt. Mr. Big show in Japan. He nailed it in that vid

[@Gwyn1stborn]

12 string skipping? ouch

[@aaeonkarma3717]

Is this what happens when you give a scientist a guitar? Not just a random scientist however, a groovy one???

[@SunnyStreak_]

Slow down the play back speed to 0.25x. You won’t regret it.

[@ferminpascual9550]

hola: 13 - 10 - 2016

[@ferminpascual9550]

STUDIO SISTEM

[@Fernando-sm6nt]

¿Something can explain me what model is that ibanez? ¿PGM 401 but the bridge is not the original? Sorry for my bad english

[@MrBadMonkey63]

that is one of his new signature series

[@jakeweston6973]

it's a pgm401, he put a trem in

[@uziquattro1083]

Pauls face @ 2:44

[@grungus7200]

2:48 LMAO what

[@gab.lab.martins]

Except that you don't go from 1st to 6th fret. You just go down one string and get the same result. Why waste energy and movement? hahaha Like, if I'm going from F to E on the 6th string (think Symphony of Destruction), I do the E power chord with my middle finger, and thus don't have to move my hand at all.

[@christineayres5339]

Gabriel Martins he does it just to prove he can do it he's a master

[@shitmandood]

Exactly. No one will hear the difference. Excess effort. I'd like to see Gilbert & Gambale do an album together. A Truth In Shredding Part 2. :-)

[@Dirtbiker-guy]

Paul Gilbert is a god among insects.

[@electriccreamman4977]

yea cause string skipping is easy

[@SGtem]

“Let me play a little better” Um??????

[@christineayres5339]

Did Paul really say this is basic stuff lol maybe for him it's basic but not for us mere mortals lol

[@EgorKlenov]

That intro bugs me out everytime. Isn't there some sort of an editing flaw?

[@shcxatter2]

it's no editing flaw, he's just a little early on one of the notes of the riff.

[@iijj]

The intro is cut from a full version of the phrase, which is in the episode 11. So yes, it might sound a bit off due to editing.
