Paul Gilbert is everything right about music and guitar playing. The guy is just pure joy of music and I love watching/listening to anything he does.

[@aaronfolmsbee4433]

Paul dropping the "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" line with flerb!

[@BigTwinRiver]

Josh “This has the most useless sound ever put into a pedal. “Flerb, lol!!”” Paul proceeds to recreate one of the most iconic synth lines in cinematic history, drenched in alien Flerb magic, while grinning like a Cheshire Cat. 😂 Paul “oooo I want to hear more Flerb, !”

[@jsullivan2112]

That came to him so quickly! Unreal.

It isn't the amp it's him. Amd the transistors.. But I enjoy watching my tube amp values climb as I use nothing but an amped pedal board. Nope no modelers..the amped 3 does it all and more..

Paul had no idea how to react to Josh's antics in this one, lol

This guy Gilbert makes the guitar youtubers, and I learned about him a year ago like most of you. Damn.

[@mbg4041]

I had kinda convinced myself I didn’t like him. I don’t particularly like his music and his drama kid vibe bothered me. But once he explained his painted f holes and I realised he was just a guitar nerd I instantly liked him.

[@ericwaters2400]

Paul came into Five Star Guitars where I work and we had a great conversation and he played and sang Doobie Brothers for me. It was pretty surreal to say the least but what an incredibly kind and warm person he is to be around. I love the hell outta that guy!

[@sparks2spare782]

Paul has a roadie for just that heavy cable. Starting out with a Thin Lizzy riff put a smile on my face. 😃

[@jholl7339]

Paul is a local boy made good. Started hearing about this kid who lived down the road who was amazing. By the time I started getting more pieces of the puzzle as to who this "Kid" was, off he was, for California. He turned out to be one of my biggest guitar influences.

[@williamyanosko4010]

[@jasonbates2687]

I have been a fan of Paul since his and my hair metal days in the late 80s. It is amazing to see him now analyzing his sound in detail. What a time we live in.

[@JosephSokolowski]

This was such a fun episode. I love that I'm so deep in the PG multiverse that I already knew that Paul prefers his pedal board wood to come from high up in the tree for weight purposes.

Just picked up a used 3 series Reverb last week for $50 and it is INCREDIBLE!!!! Absolutely love how small and how MASSIVE the sweep of the size is. I love it!

[@Markleford]

Riff historian meets pedal archivist! Such a powerful educational duo! Also: Mayo goes on the bread because it has a flat topography and rough texture (essentially "bubbles" in the bake) that accommodates an even and controllable distribution with a knife. Putting it on an uneven and impermeable surface produces inconsistent results. Mind, if you're applying mayo from a squeeze bottle without the assistance of a knife afterward, the results are probably "good enough" AND you don't have an extra utensil to clean later!

[@timetravelsnail7198]

mayo goes on the bread because it acts as glue for the rest of the toppings

Paul is very knowledgeable about pedals and every time I have seen a video of him putting a pedalboard together, no matter which pedals he chooses to include, the board always ends up sounding great.

[@rickjohns689]

Like EVH, Paul's fingers are where his tone comes from. No matter what gear, he sounds like himself. Instantly recognizable.

[@myuncle2]

But as you can hear, without a good amp, even Paul sounds bad.
