Nobody comes close to teaching like uncle Paul. Uncle Paul is da man.

I wish there had been someone like you 35 years ago when I had just started playing guitar. Simple but effective licks and techniques, explained in an understandable way by a full professional, who is one of the most sympathetic people in the world. You rock and are definitely an inspiration to a lot of young players - and old players, like me... ;-)

Everything he teach becomes something fun

Thank you senior Gilbert you have always a demigod, but also so encouraging to us simple mortals. Again for the encouragement through the years.

Gilbert is a real professional and a good teacher

Thank you for your time Paul. Great video as usual

He makes it look so effortless

I'm in! Almost got it...hand burns like fire!🤝🏼 thank you!

Thanks Paul. Thanks Sweetwater.

good job Mr. Gilbert.

MUST. HAVE. PURPLE. GUITAR.

We're all digging it paul

Paul is awesome 🤘😎🤘

5:34 key part of the video....maybe even the most important tip Paul has ever gave

Use the Force

I'm recognizing licks from other guitarist's solos. This stuff really is the shred bible

Great video, thanks Paul. Viva la Racer X!

Only real players know you make the faces cause your feeling it awesome lesson!

That purple paint job is nice. Some of that purple made with fender custom shop frost blue. Mmmm. Whatchu got Ibanez.

I’m just making the face cos I’m digging it - priceless 👍😂

So...what is the little pad he's hitting with his foot that has a cable running out? Is it just some DIY beat keeper e.g., quasi metronome?

In this particular case, being in a box position, I found it much easier to play at tempo if you barre the index finger across the b and e strings instead of trying to finger each note seperately

I took a lesson from PG when he was 5 yrs old ..... i'm still working on those licks ! LOL!!! ALL HAIL KING SPEED

Great lesson. Question: Why don't you just plant your pointer finger over both the 8th fret of the high e and b instead of having your pointer finger go back and forth between those two notes? Is there any good reason or just a preference?

More clarity. Jimmy Page does a variation of this and commonly lets them ring and it creates a different sound

In this particular case I wondered the same thing , being in a box position, I found it easier to play cleanly at full tempo if you barre the index finger across the b and e strings instead of trying to finger each note seperately .... but now I am trying to do it Paul's way also.

I wish he was my guitar teacher

3:00 - not in your case Paul :-D

I do this with a downstroke on the high e so the entire lick picking pattern is flipped. Is there any reason I should change it, or just know both?

It helps you stick to picking outside the strings...it makes it easier to not bump into another string and play it cleaner. I take Paul's Online Rock School and he has a whole picking system based off the number of notes per string and how many strings you're playing.

@@kennymason3712 I have. Doesn't he basically say that both can be used and some guitarists avoid one or the other?

Paul Gilbert is one of my favorite guitarists, but I confess I tried playing this exact model guitar and found the body shape uncomfortable..... Perhaps because I have more of a bodybuilder type build, and that bigger upper horn stabs me in the chest and prevents being able to hold guitar comfortably. Much prefer the older PGM (Ibanez RG style) guitars.

I wish it had been discussed which time we're supposed to play this in. It looks like 6 notes, then 6 notes, then 4 notes. 16 notes played on top of a 4/4?

It's because the picking technique he's using doesn't allow for economy of motion. It does however make time for the hammer and pull notes ring their full value. Try two upstrokes followed by two downstrokes if you want to get really fast, but be sure to give the hammered and pulled notes their full value. This will be more of a sweeping motion across two strings in each direction, and allows for some serious speed. Also take a break as exercises like this can get monotonous after a while, and progression becomes impossible.

He clarifies C minor. The Gb is when he gets to the blues scale run.
