Paul Gilbert - Not to Meander

MikeB

Stumbled over this in my recommendations. This is a solo piece that he has done for Guitar Techniques - its a really catchy piece with some of his usual flash but a real strong sense of melody.

I never thought I'd associate Paul Gilbert with great tone, but that sound beautiful. The piece itself kinda gives me Eric Johnson meets Satriani vibes. I like it.

I've spent the last year while I've been subscribed to his course on artistworks wishing I had his tone.

I find myself going hot and cold on Mr Gilbert. That said, this version of Technical Difficulties is an absolute blinder, and probably my favourite thing of all of his output:



Even if you don't watch the whole thing, at the very least watch ~2:50 to the end.

I'm with you there, but hey, that was a super cool video... Why is he improving on Comfortably Numb outta key, though?

This is Gilbert at his best for me. Gain dialed way back (much like in the TD vid), playing classical pieces. I absolutely love it:



Oh, and this

I never really listen to Paul Gilbert, but I do think that he is one of the finest guitarists out there. He has incredible technical ability but he doesn't go as OTT as the shredder brigade.

He seems like a really nice guy too.

I had one of his signature Guitars, wonderful thing with a HUGE neck. I never felt I could do it justice.

I mentioned elsewhere I've got the FRM200 signature guitar and it's easily one of my favourite guitars I've played.

Paul Gilbert is the only shredder who I can stand to listen to. Amazing player but he can also write good songs which I think is the difference between him and a lot of the other "big shredders".

Amazingly good musician but I don't like the processed tone of the first video.
