Paul is a true guitar geek. He was born to do a rig rundown.
Only Gilbert...guitarist discussing differences between vintage and new Makita drills :D I love this guy.
And ironically his preferred drill (from at latest the early 90s) was the really cheap version with the single speed and no break. Guys would try to do car audio work with me and have these things and sheer off screw slots and stuff. Funny. And yes... vintage!
I prefer the vintage makita myself lol!!!
Super cool guy, met him in 1990, absolutely no ego at all and mad skills.
Miss you buddy. RIP... Will never forget you.
I'm so sorry for your loss. At least he got to meet one of the greats before his time. Again, sorry
Much respect for Paul as well as all of the guitarists that do the rundowns themselves, rather than getting their techs to do it.
paul loves to talk about his gear and he's a true gearhead
There are so many things to love about Paul. He never seems to be stressed or having a bad day. Also his pinky is as long as my index finger, wtf.
Hey! Where did you get this number in your nickname? :P And I'm Paul Gilbert's style of playing fan and yeah, I love this guy too as a human.
Possibly the nicest gentleman in rock and roll
Dave Bertoletti yes!
I think Grohl might take that place!
I really want to have a beer with mr Gilbert and mr Govan!
+sirspikey Same here! Both knowledgeable and really cool.
Govan might have the chops but Gilbert just has the magic I can't explain it. He would be a nightmare to improvise against lol
I did couples of weeks ago, in fact it was a great moment because not only jamming with such a great guitar player like him is a gift, but we've really had a good time jamming, with a smile on each one's face, I think he's really a kind person, more than the great shred master we all know.
@@chrisa586 Gilbert is just as impressed by sweet chunky pentatonic licks as he is speed, though. Possibly more so. It would probably be a fun time.
Paul, one of the most amazing human in our planet. His picking speaks. His tone screams. Still its sweet enough to listen whole day without getting bored. True artist, true talent.
Paul Gilbert is such a nice guy.
Paul Gilbert is the best. Him and Slash both score high on the sanity chart. It's such a relief to hear him explain stuff.
i like how he actually demonstrates each sound. every other rig rundown ive seen, the dudes just talk and talk about technical bullshit and dont actually show you how it sounds. also, dude is a class act.
I've never really been into Paul's music but he seems like a really good guy and definitely has great hands.
I feel the same way man. He just seems like the best dude ever?
Every time I see Gilbert interviewed he seems like such a nice guy.
Totally, he seems like he hasn't started to hate his job or the fans like some musicians have.
Paul is a great guy. We went to school together at MI in Hollywood, played together a few times. I hosted his visits and translated for him a few times here in Osaka. A massive talent - but totally nice guy.
Never listened to his music but I liked the way he played a few licks to demonstrate the pedals. If only they would all do that.
I thought exactly the same. It's simply the best way to demonstrate a pedal ^^
PAUL actually demos his own gear and doesn't leave it to his busy guitar technician. Cool guy forever
Paul Gilbert seems like a really cool guy, and to be honest I'd love to jam with or even get a guitar lesson from him, learn some Mr. Big and other epic tricks by him
I love how Paul is constantly trying different things. I have just begun to get my feet wet in the world of stomp boxes and various effects after years of firmly being a "one guitar, one amp" kind of guy. Experimenting with all sorts of guitar pedals has really revived my love for the instrument.
Having a separate lead out for the singer is awesome. The Mr. Big members seem to really respect each other.
Just watched Steve vai, yngwie, petrucci, etc. and Paul's rig is so off the cuff and simple and his personality is so humble and cool. It reminds me why I like him so much lol
"in a humbucker guitar I never really used the tone control" ... we finally got an answer to his insane trebley tone lmao. Gotta love this guy
that guy is so cool, I don’t know if I prefer his rig rundown or satch’s both these guys know their thing and are so inspiring, love them
Class act. Most of these interviews are done with the guitarists tech. Paul is an outstanding individual and it's nice to see him take the time for those who are truly interested.
Paul such a humble virtuoso.. no hesitation to share and always play from hearts ❤️.. 🤘
5:03 when Paul Gilbert casually says "My hearing is going"...
that hit hard :(
I love these videos when the actual artist is talking about their gear, but I love it even more when they actually demo it. Paul is such an awesome guy.
Man, hanging out with Paul must be like hanging out with an amazingly talented and guitar-crazy best friend!!
One of the best guitar related videos on youtube. thank you.
It's so inspiring to see super-human musicians that have equal amounts of humanity. Thank you Paul Gilbert!
I was at a Music store sometime ago and i was playing this riff and shredding a lil bit and paul walked in and was listening and i looked up and stopped playing and he said no dont stop that sounded great..and i was said oh i was just noodling and he said thats some serious noodling and i said well i learned it from you and he said really and i said yeah man i was a big fan and learned alot of your licks from your video's and thats how i built some technique up. he was just a down to earth guy!
Yes, I am totally convinced that this indeed did happen.
coolguy4sho unfair!
Besides being an amazing guitarist Paul is indeed a great person, very humble, just make me respect him and admire him more. Paul you Rock!!
He's the most down to earth guy ever. His music is a great inspiration and he's a perfect example for every musician.
I got to see him [and meet him] at Brents Music Store in Ft Myers Fl-He was 27 then-and after each song-he ask-Is That cool-He was very humble-knowing that there was a room full of Guitar Players-but only one like him-He said that he doesn*t use drugs-and never had-I loved that Clinic-he signed-photos with an Ibanez and Laney Stack!
"it does touch you in the way that other guitars don't" hahah what a genius!
Paul's personality is just fantastic! He seems like a such a genuinely nice guy with real passion for music. :)
May he stay on earth for a loooooooooooooooong time. Lovely man and effin evil good player.
Nobody cooler than Paul Gilbert
great guitarist, great man! great kind of person!
AWESOME. Paul just seems like an awesome dude and the rig is incredible!
The best thing about Paul Gilbert besides him being a guitar virtuoso is his humbleness and politeness. He's a great human being, we need more people like him.
He such a cool guy and it's so much more personal when he shows it himself and not some random guitar tech.
He seems so down to earth. I remember watching his guitar lessons on VHS and he explains things so easily
Someone give this man a latenight show!! haha
I've never met Paul (thou I wish too) and from the countless videos of him you can tell he's an honest straight up easy guy without any hint of arrogance.
Great magician on the guitar too.
The notes go right into your heart!
"When you're a guitar player, you must tweak!" Lol Love it!
just seen this,the bit at the end of the interview, where he holds the drill in a menacing way, brill
This guy has always been cool ! I like it when they demo there own grear
I totally agree with Gilbert about pick thickness. I'm a shredder (among other things) and have ALWAYS stayed with plain old Fender mediums for the exact reason he said, there is so much more dynamic range that drops off when you go thicker.
It's totally true what he's saying about Dunlops, they totally don't get tore up when you pick slide with them. I have Purples - I think they're 1mm - on call specifically for the rare occasion I wanna pick slide
I play bass and guitar with .73s (yellow) tortex picks and they sound so much better than the paving slabs people tend to use. For bass, using a thin pick sounds like a cross between picking and slapping because of the pick release twang.
CorrosionMedia Good call. I'm a .73 Tortex user for bass. Rock on man!
I use fingers on bass for the most part, but when I do use picks on bass I just use 1 mm because those chubby Gibson picks piss me off. As for guitar it depends what I'm playing but for the most part it's 1 mm because I'm mainly a thrash/punk kinda guy.
i love paul gilbert. you can tell that every second he doesn't spend playing guitar is a second he considers wasted. that's true love :)
Paul is one of the few muscians who is open about their hearing loss. Believe me those headphones are not just for show! I have tenitus (ringing in the ears) from not using protection in the construction industry. Trust me protect your hearing!
his lead playing is so clean
I didn't even know Mr. Big was still a band.I remember hearing them for the first time way back in the early 90's on Letterman I think,and the next day I went out and bought their CD,had a train wreck on the cover.Going to have to check out some of their latest stuff now.
Any Guitar mag, channel, whatever, will always get attention when offering PAUL GILBERT CONTENT. Thank You Premiere Guitar!
Saw Paul with Mr Big in '93 in a smallish club in OKC, was very much worth it. Sheehan was beating his depth charge simulator and Paul was on top of his game in front of his wall of Marshalls. Nice to see the tech behind what I knew was less than simple.
the melody of his speech is so positive
It's nice too see someone actually demonstrate their gear by PLAYING. Makes the rundown more complete. Pauls the man.
finally, after years of searching for Paul's rig rundown!!!
"John Denver clean" lmao. Paul is hilarious.
paul gilbert rock!!!very generous n humble guitarist i ever met
This is perhaps the best rig rundown. This guy is something!
Love the way the camera guy focuses on the pedal board the entire time Paul is shredding.
My favourite guitarist, and one of my favourite people on this planet. I totally love Paul Gilbert.
pg is talking to pg! but which pg is which?
Of all the Rig Rundown videos, this is the one I could most see myself using.
best rig run down, i love when the player gets into it and doesn't just want to run off and say yeah i got a fuzz and a wah, and some marshalls
Gilbert has got to be one of the nicest dudes to hang with. I have gotten so much out of his columns. What a talent!
Paul Gilbert is one of the most humble guy I've seen so far in all these rig tour kinda video
Paul is The Man. Cool guy and a stellar, world-class player.
I've always liked the fact Paul has a simple set up, he doesn't seem to be fussy about effects and amps, he just lets his fingers do the talking!
I never forget the first time i meet paul gilbert, he's an awesome dude man ~
i love how paul gilbert is, so fuckin down to earth and is fun and just loves to show other people wat he does!!!
He's so cool
Really happy to see that Paul himself is participating in this interview, not his tech (like most other players)
Rig Rundowns with the equipment plugged in are the best. It can be the tech or the artist. Irregardless, hearing the gear is better than just talking about the gear. And Mr Gilbert is one of the more articulate artists to speak with.
i've never heard a guitar player having a favorite string!
Jacob Crowell Sounds like you've never heard of Emmure lol
MrGabbo97 0 0 00 0 00 0 0 0
I love that fireman. I played one the other day and the neck profile is awesome.
This is my favorite Rundown host. He makes the players the most at ease to talk. Bohlinger (sp?) stresses people out! Too awkward.
I like that he's talking about his Vintage/Modern marshalls settings for bass that are not being used and his little 2061x is plugged straight in to the cabs.
awesome rundown the best I've seen so far...Paul is soooo accomodating
Saw PG at the very first time in 2000, when he did Asian Clinic Tour at The Hard Rock Cafe Jakarta, I was 17, when I saw him, my jaw like dropped D, "Man, he is 6,4 tall 194cm like office tower walking around the cafe😂, and he was super fun Rock Star, humorist down to earth kinda guy!! That Pinky 7 strings Ibanez was so cool!!
I love that man so much, Loves to explain and interact!!!
Thanks again Premier Guitar!!
PG is such a chill dude
I keep watching this video over and over again. This gut is soooo f***** smooth. Premier Guitar, what about Protest The Hero rig rundown?
I always find myself having much more respect for the artists that actually go through and personally talk about their gear in these videos, not just having the road crew do it. I mean I know not every musician is a gear head but it just makes them that much more personable and appealing.
nice and simple yet overloaded with talent
his guitar tone is AMAZING...
PG on PG - fantastic!
5:50, that chorus sounds perfect!!!
The pickup is close because the area pups and injectors have very low magnet pull and need to be close to the strings for max output. I don't have my injector that close but I run it closer than other pups. Have an old 90's USA peavey predator with injector neck area 67 injector bridge with CTS 500k pots no mid tone wired 50's style and it has to be my favorite all time most versatile strat sound ever. Hugely underrated pups. PG is a great dude.
What a lovely guy Mr PG is!!
A monster player and a cool dude.
This guy is making my day
I went to see him at a Guitar Clinic Here at Brent*s Music store in the late 80*s-Really down to Earth and helpful!!!
Paul Gilbert seems to be a cool person, i've never heard songs from him but he got good gear and feelings
If we were visited by Aliens and they said "bring forward your best human", it'd be Paul Gilbert.
@rockstarnyancess I had the pleasure of meeting him, late 90's, He was as un-rockstar as you can get and easy to have a conversation with.
Awesome. Paul Gilbert is great. Great attitude and sense of humor. Plus he can waaaiillll
Love Paul Gilbert! Always have. Always will!
did anyone else get slightly bummed out when he said "my hearing's going"
+William Bierce well look at beethoven and what he did after he lost his hearing heheh hopefully Paul turns out like that too
William, I did bum out when he said that, and I was for sure I was the only one. It is shifty to hear anyone say that. My dad taught me that like first thing, when he took me to my first show the "Dead" and jamin at the house. And I'm very thankful.
yes
Fucking guy playing elevens on a thick neck with a floppy pick and still fast as hell.
