    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.

      @tollerest Před 10 lety

      yeah i learn alot about melody from singing lessons and ryhthm from drum lessons

    • @TomMilleyMusic
      @TomMilleyMusic Před 10 lety +1

      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.

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

    one of the most underrated musicians if you ask me

    • @paulcox9728

      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.

  • @mattressgiant240

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

    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.

    • @adityatyagi4009
      @adityatyagi4009 Před 8 lety +1

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

  • @TheNelsonGonzalez
    @TheNelsonGonzalez Před 14 lety +1

    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.

  • @billholt174
    @billholt174 Před 6 lety +1

    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 CZcams, 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    @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.
