I love that he's actually giving humble advice on practical songwriting rather than just being like, "Play like me...*insane shred*....got that? I'll play it again *insane shred*". This is a lot more helpful than that. haha

Dennis Osborn did you know that Paul was once removed from a class that he was teaching to? He told the story about how he would just show-off and his students told the dean or someone in a higher position that they didnnt like the way he taught.

once i realized that all music is rhythm, i became a lot more musically free. this is good advice for any musician.

Toller Brown for sure. learning drums really helped me too as well as singing. learning bass and piano helped too. i found the more instruments i learned, the more aware i was of how a song comes together and i was able to be a lot more tasteful with my playing.

one of the most underrated musicians if you ask me

He was huge in his day and is still highly regarded by guitarists. I've seen him in covers competitions in Japan playing cover after cover, the guy knows more than most people in the industry and in that regard he is under-estimated, his skill level speaks for itself, he's a legend.

His utter and complete LOVE for guitar and all things musical in general is just so infectious. :-D

Aside from his excellent guitar playing, I've always admired PG for how well he can articulate new musical ideas to other players.

That guy in the background on the kit just staring insanely is hilarious.

This video has changed the way I approach guitar and music forever

This is some wicked talent, knowledge, playing, advice, delivered with humble heart. Truly rare combination.

PG is awesome. Turns out he's not only and incredible guitarist, but also a fantastic teacher. This is the sort of lesson that all guitarists should learn.

+stephen gilliss Agreed. I'm not even a guitarist and found this lesson quite useful!

Eargasmic Lesson.. Sweet advice...Always learn something everyday..Thank you Paul G and band...

I still can't thankyou enough pual, it.'s been years now i don't even know how long it has been, your humble advice has been guiding me in approaching the rigjt way to become a better musicianshio. Gid bless you Pual...​

this is what makes paul such an awesome guitar player and teacher. Some of the things he talks about are so simple but so effective, and he explains them in such a way that any guitar player with any amount of ability can use them. F*cking legend.

This perfectly illustrates why Paul is arguably *_the_* 'best'. In the wake of Paul's rise on Yngwie's heels in the mid-1980s, there are now literally countless ace players, both known and obscure. Some are artists, others are practiced technicians. Paul's genuine *_style,_* well beyond perfected chops, defines his excellence. Total package. His lucid explanations and practical demonstrations are as accessible as they get. To me, Paul's also the most underrated -- or perhaps better-said, the least recognized -- and most in-the-pocket rhythm guitarist to appear thus far. He's an absolute groove monster whose facility as a rhythm player has always been overshadowed by his own prowess and fame as a 'shredder'. Nice guy, too. He allowed me to videotape a clinic he did back in '95. I *_MUST_* get that on KZread, all these years after the fact. Great clinic, with a lot of improvisation played off of audience involvement. Paul Gilbert is 'the best', as much as I dislike and discourage the use of that title, because his aptitude represents an ideal combination of what can be taught and what can only be gifted. Style.

Bill Holt waiting for your upload man! Yes, Paul is the most humble, down-to -earth guy when explaining his craft

5.17 the moment paul says "drummers" look at the drummers face! aww he caught the smile before he went un rocknroll but we saw it! must feel great having Paul Gilbert refer to you as a "master" ; )

The world is a better place with Paul Gilbert in it.

One of the BEST lessons i have seen yet on youtube! I love this guy! Its great that he does these clinics because hes such a natural teacher and due to his career, teaching is probably not on his radar screen at all. You can just sesnse his pure love for the instrument in these videos. Would be great to have a one on one lesson/jam with him.

i've never been so happy to know how to play smoke on the water on guitar because now i can play something that paul gilbert plays

My favorite guitar lesson ever!!!! Along with the facial expressions.

That was GREAT advice!!!

Paul Gilbert!!!! I need say no more... but I will. From Chet, to Jimi, to Eric, to Rik, to Eddie, to Yngwie, to countless others of greatness, I feel Paul is not only up with the best but also a great instructor and teacher as well!

Paul's lessons are among the most helpful I've seen - what a nice chap he is too!

Another great music lesson from the legendary Paul G!

I love '70s bands too. I love seeing him play Rush.

6:33 Oh my God! He fucked up. He's human you guys. He's just like us. *weeps wih joy*

he did it on purpose to make us think he isn't a robot, he does it once in a while... but the "i can destroy" album cover gives him away

This was awesome, Thanks Paul Gilbert!!!

This has just changed my life!

1:35 oooohhhh myyyyy goooodddd i have watched a thousand videos of paul gilbert and always thought(knew) that he was a robot but he makes a mistake so hes humans its possible for humans to play like paul gilbert.. this gives me one hell of a lot of hope for the future

well this man obviously just opened a whole new realm of ideas infinitely for me one of the most useful videos ive ever seen

mind blown, amazing concept and skill!

Thank God for PG. He makes the world a much better place.

I can't stop watching these vids

that was such useful information!!! paul gilbert rocks !!

This proves that everything in music is a inspired variation of something else. Creativity is being able to make something of your own out a inspiration from something that was done by someone else before you.

used to do this with vocals to guitars, i don't know what made me stop doing it, probably my teacher because he made me learn loads of licks (not that its bad). well thanks for reminding me Paul, big fan :D

maestro you are great!!! ΘΕΟΣ ΕΙΣΑΙ ΣΕ ΕΙΔΑ ΚΑΙ ΣΤΗΝ ΑΘΗΝΑ!!! I SAW YOU IN GREECE PAUL!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!

7:18 I need to practice that handshake. Picks always fall off my hand if I try to do that.

Awesomeness with a BIG touch of good vibe... That my friend is the formal definition of Paul Gilbert

simply love these videos ;)

Paul Giblert is not only an INCREDIBLE guitar player, but an EXTREMELY AMAZING teacher as well. He makes everything easy to understand, he's a god.

Paul is truly amazing. Never new he was a really good vocalist. Putting the guitar and his vocals at the same time is something I was really inspired by. Truly a great artist. Would love to take lessons from him , I really don"t think I could keep up with all the scales he uses though.

that was absolutely awesome!!! he's professional definetely

when he says rhythm, it's also about having musical space... divisions between the group of notes instead of just constant flow of notes in insane speeds in typical shred.

Man, everything he says makes so much sense! I've got to try that phrasing thing out with my drummer!

really good advice paul! thankyou!

Damn, that was the best information I've heard in a long time

When Paul and the drummer are doing a little jam, I enjoyed it greatly

paul! you got me out of said rut! :D never thought it would end. although half the licks were racer x riffs n such so you kind of put me there to begin with. damn you and your great song writing and guitar skills. also thank you and your great song writing and guitar skills

Thank you!!!!

Paul Gilbert has to be one of the coolest guitarists

Maybe he's sweaty because his guitar is like 13 pounds heavy hahaha Anyway, these videos from this clinic are like one of the best video-lessons I ever saw, and they are free. Anyone else would make this a DVD and charge us some bucks to see it.

Give this man a cigar! I'll have to look up more of his stuff.

another valuable video .

amazing info...thank u!!!

great advice and inspiration.

Good to watch

dame that was awesome!

This guy is probably the coolest guitar player on the world. I'm always amazed about him :D!

This is awesome…

Awesome lesson

this.is.awesome!

I love Paul Gilbert; what a fantastic guy.

Cool, this is something I can use!

Paul. You are modest, dominant, one of the best, and everytime i watch you i'm inspired. Everything you play is golden and I wish I knew 1/20th of what you know. Thank you Paul for everything you do :) ps.......i love you... LOL

Im inspired........Amazing guitar player!

Wow when a guitar is in my reach I will start trying this.

that smoke on the water thing blew my mind!

Great lesson!!

awesome talk

A freakin' Music Doctor and a Guitar Sergeon!.......

paul was blessed with an incredible mind, and some realy long fingers too.

such great advice.

The first person I've heard outside of Deep Purple who can play Smoke on the Water and have me not want to roll my eyes! Well done Paul!!!

so inspire,,really....thx paul... Gb

he knows all the epic songs in the universe...

Awesome guy!!!

awesome advice and a great guy and player.Too many of us players spend a lot of time of lead and solos cuz it's cool and who doesn't want to sound cool? But rhythm is the stuff,without it there are no tasty solos or songs,The backbone of all music.

That rhythm trade off melted my face

I don't play much guitar at all. I'm honestly only watching all of these videos because this guy is so well spoken and interesting. And he's a fucking boss

Well said! The power of this lesson should not be under estimated:)

That made me laugh heartily.

thanks paul

amazing phrasing!

He's so cool

Man, that guy rocks

Amazing hero!

I liked Blackfoot's version of wishing well best..... Great lesson PG ....!!!!

true musicianship

great, thats what opens to me ))

The drummers is thinking. "Damn man, im just sitting here, nah its ok i'm getting paid anyway."

6:45...Killler Tone!!! Excellent advice as usual. Nice one Paul :)

@mccheese95 He 100% explains exactly what I'm talking about within first 2 minutes. It's impossible to make some creative without some sort of influence. Even if it's a bird singing or a car horn honking, that influence is what triggers creativity. The genre of hip-hop was created using samples of music. People have sampled Jon Bonham drum beats when producing hip hop and created something new with that influence. The Paul Gilbert and Deep Purple example isn't that direct,but it's the same idea.

Single best facial expressions ever.

the drummer owned paul gilbert at that little jam

Legend

@TonyMistry I couldn't agree more.. Paul is a honest down to earth COOL guy..

Paul is so cool....

Someone please feed Paul Gilbert!

7:36 says it all!

that was actually a lot of fun to watch.lol

Genius.
