But if you want some decent guitaring, try these. If you're not wowed by any of them I'll be amazed.
Acoustic.
Blues Trio
Ballad (probably the best ballad of recent times.
Pop song (ish)
For me continuum was his pinnacle, but also be set everything up including his own bar so high, that he's probably never going to beat that.
The above videos are a great intro to him and he can't be that bad if one of my all time heroes, Robbie McIntosh emboss playing with him.
Hmmm...I may have prattled on
I enjoyed this recent O2 video.....

To be honest he is just a younger Clapton wannabe.
He sounds like an asshole, but I couldn't care less. I don't buy music based on personality. I'm sure One Direction are lovely chaps, doesn't get them a sale.
Sure, the Paul Gilbert lovely guy and great musician style is nice, but it ain't always gonna happen.
I find it very hard to be compelled by anything after this
'IM A RECOVERED EGO ADDICT'
Also love when he takes the press team from a national news show to his 'secret getaway' in Montana... 'this is where i come to get away from it all...you'll be staying in the press wing of the house'.
All said though, 'moving on getting over', 'rosie', 'walt gracies submarine test' I really love. It's just everything else I hate. But I sure do love to hate it, I watch enough videos of him..
Walt Grace was a really nice surprise though, and Whisky Whisky Whisky
'You're not as good as him so you are not allowed to not like him.'
I'm not as good as any of the guitarists I like, or most of the ones I don't. I'm not as good at football as Ronaldo either, but I'm still allowed to think he's a prick!
Now that's all about his playing/songwriting/etc, which is obviously the most important. Beyond that I have a weird love/hate relationship with the guy himself. In most cases he does come across like a massive d**k that just really loves hearing himself talk. But then again you watch his Berklee sessions (definitely recommend that, both for the playing and the insight) and he comes across as a very intelligent, relatable, interesting musician. That also comes across in his posts about gear on his forum from a few years back. Basically I think that in the company of geeks he's the uber geek and a genuinely likeable bloke, but as soon as he reaches out to a wider audience it all goes a bit philosophy undergrad.
Finally, do check out his frequent Instagram/Periscope little bits of live playing (all on Youtube). Great display of his versatility and fantastic touch. Some great riffs & ideas in there.
