Paul still loves being a student. It's always so great to see his positive attitude.

I think cause real masters (as professors -scientists) are in some sense "students" until the end of their life - they still try to learn something new

I've met Paul a few times and he was a very kind, humorous and humble person.
0:57 - 1:26 thirty seconds of pure bliss. I used to watch Balmer at jazz clubs in Portland back in the '90s, he's always been so fun to listen to!
paul gilbert besides being a excellent guitarist and super humble , I am unconditional fan
How can PG ever be faulted? He's always open to exploring new styles and is willing to learn. A real musician.

paul so humble...even though he is a legend a living legend. But always humble...I love em
I love learning and watching Paul, he has such a look of enjoyment everytime he plays the guitar
This series is just brilliant, not only for the content but also by showing how much love for music a legendary, technically superlative hard rock/metal guitar player still has after all these many years and after all his incredible musical accomplishments. Paul Gilbert, shredder extraordinaire, loves the guitar so much he is still going to school in order to grow musically - brave enough to step out of his own gigantic shadow and to really learn from true greats in other musical genres. Thanks so much to Paul and everyone else involved! Just fantastic and a lesson to all musicians everywhere...
loved this, i could watch this kind of stuff forever. Its fun seeing this part of your journey.
Years ago, I guess when the "United States" album was released, I was really bummed and ran across Paul Gilbert's web page, the old one with all the funny photoshops of his head on all the Beatles meeting Ed Sullivan and the like. It really made me laugh and picked up my spirits so I shot off an email thanking him and "just in case you actually read this" asking about the guitar he was playing in the "Barks" video with he and Freddie Nelson jamming to "Pulsar". Paul actually took the time to answer and tell me what guitar it was, where he bought it (I'm not revealing his "secret" lol! ) and telling me that it "is KILLER." Despite also living in Portland I've not seen or talked to him since that exchange but to my mind he showed himself to be a total class act and a decent human being, in addition to being a crusher on the strings! As for Dan, my mom of all people came home with one of his CDs and it was totally badass! I want to say that one of the songs was called "we'll be right back" or something but that was "around" 1988 so a ways back :) I've not seen Dan live, I was a full on metalhead at the time and the Portland metal scene was thriving and providing a good show at least biweekly but I do remember as a young guitarist being blown away by his chops.
I love this video! Paul is an amazing guitarist and he has this infectous curiosity to expand his own knowledge of music and guitar styles and he takes you on the journey with him. You can't help but want to try this for yourself, and at the end of the day, isn't that what music is all about. A shared experience using a language we all love and are learning to speak on our instruments of choice. Keep it up Paul! I love these videos.
Never heard of dan balmer before. This guys got an awesome style.
Dan Balmer Is Amazing! :D
If Paul Gilbert comes out with a jazz album I'm buying it.

Can see Paul isn't in his element but still has come a long way since the 80's
wow, I used to live in portland. I know Dan, good to hear him again, But it´s amazing to hear Paul , I was never into his thing, but he´s just incredibly melodic improvising. I´m gonna check him out more now!
Awesome!! I can smile for the rest of the week after watching and listening RNR
Paul is type of guy who would be wonderful neighbor. He's about as natural as you can get, but still a great, popular musician. Why is it so many rock "heroes" think they have to be weird assholes?
I love these videos. Thank you so much.
Man this is awesome. Paul you need to do a Jazz album as a side project. Haha.
these guys are really awesome... PG so open to play different styles...
That Paul Gilbert can learn from anyone else is a testament to why he is so good. And Dan Balmer is amazing also!
Paul is so versatile
This might be the best guitar jam on KZread! The first Gilbert solo might be one of his best.
I'm a huge Gilbert fan and love all his shred-tastic metal in all it's glory, but there's a part of me that would love to see Paul take his chops into the jazz world and see what it would sound like. Would love to hear his ideas over a standard like Autumn Leaves or All the Things You Are.
Oh my godness the tone melts.. as the word itself it melts..!
melody is and music is melody! what a great melodic jam!
Not only is he a killer player, but he's sporting a Federer hat. I knew I liked this guy
Thank god at least one person that moved to Portland had something to bring to the table.
what an awesome video..just amazing..
its funny to see paul gilbert as a student kind of haha, the greatest !!
Beautiful!
Respect for Paul Gilbert. Beside the fact that he is one of the greatest rock guitarists, he is so humble and open to learning new things.
Amazing video. Amazing to see paul as almost mortal (almost)
Incredible! Gotta love how Paul still wants to learn while being cinsidered one of the best rock/metal players out there. That solo in C was awesome :D
Cuanta infoo!! Gracias x subirlo!!☺👍
I could watch this for hours!
It seemed like Paul was in student mode until Dan stopped talking during the C major solo. Then he was like "holy shit, i forgot im amazing. Check this out!"
Paul Gilbert is...just....so....awesome...
C major pentatonic scale sounds so awesome??!!.. I never knew.... Paul Gilbert is Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved this
That was killer, thank you!!
The little jam in C major sounded great There is a hit song there guys !!
Gosh I love Pauls tone! is he still playing the vintage moderm marshalls?
C maj pentatonic, the sound the peace

5:00 Mr. Big-ish ...
Uh, well, you can tell that Mr Balmer is a freakin theory and guitar genius....not that Paul did not acquit himself - he did very well and sounded very musical
Huge fan of gilbert, but it's pretty clear here Balmer is way better than gilbert here and it is pretty sick he's seeking knowledge in this pursuit, rather than sticking to blues kinda stuff for like the past decade or something lol It just seems like there's so much more tension and color to Balmer's phrasing..
Does this guy even know who Paul is?
God exists...
It's the third time I burn my guitar
Paul Gilbert is amazing but why the fuck is everyone talking about him here? Dan Balmer is playing much cooler stuff than him in this video. That solo at 0:57 is like the physical manifestation of a boner's energy and everyone is talking about Paul's improv over C major (which is good but is nothing we haven't heard before).
It must be a woman why would Paul leave the sun of so cal?
paul is a master class in all areas this looks boring to him
