    Throughout his illustrious four-decade career, Paul Gilbert has cemented his legacy through a voltaic intersection of blazing speed, technical mastery, soulful soloing, and an unrivaled spirit of performance innovation. We don’t just mean the drill with that last one - have you seen his string-skipping technique? Armed with an Ibanez for nearly the entirety of these 40 years, Paul’s not slowing down any time soon, and neither is his ongoing collaboration with Ibanez. His PGM50 represents the latest entry in a long line of time-tested tone-crafting tools that have undergirded his work from Racer X and Mr. Big to his solo records and the dynamic sound spaces found throughout his latest full-length record, The Dio Album. Each guitar weaves within it the evolving ethos of Paul Gilbert’s multidimensional musicality, exceptionally equipped for the immense range of play styles that Paul has deployed throughout his discography. Sweetwater Studios had the pleasure of hosting Paul Gilbert for a hands-on showcase of his signature Ibanez PGM50, displaying his tenacious talents and peppering in lessons of the performance and life varieties along the way. Check it out: this is Signature Gear!

      When Paul plays, it looks like he's trying to catch flies in his mouth. lol! He's a master though.

  • @joesatchton212

    Though he didn't necessarily show it here, I honestly believe PG knows every single song ever played on guitar. Truly, a human jukebox. And that's on top of being one of the finest rock shredders of all time. What a pleasure to watch Paul's career and style evolve over all these decades. Taking the Mr. Big job was absolutely the greatest move he ever made - to not just be stuck into the [admittedly awesome but] limited style of RacerX, but to slow that thoroughbred racehorse speed and learn how to ease in and write amazing songs with even more amazing, melodic solos. Gotta love PG - what an ambassador for guitar.

    • @livingbeing1113
      @livingbeing1113 Před 4 měsíci +1

      Right here. It was much better than the muddy one he has now. Surely Paul's hearing loss isn't helping him finding a good tone.

    • @zxbc1
      @zxbc1 Před měsícem +1

      @@livingbeing1113 Losing hearing means he lost more high end frequency hearing than mid, so now he is basically skipping the entirety of the high end, almost like a hard cutoff. It's not entirely bad when put into a mix, the high end usually get buried anyway, but if you listen just to a solo guitar in a studio setting it does sound very compressed. The guitar and pups themselves should not be limited, I think more of his sound is augmented by his pedals. The demo doesn't exactly give the full sound of the guitar.

      I need him to make a PGM model that looks and sounds exactly like his orange one in the Technical Difficulties video. I believe it has a tonezone and air classic, and if he puts locking tuners on that like in this model, I'm sold.

    Paul is amazing but man, sometimes those tones are nasty. This is really not a good advertisement for this guitar. "okay, we need to do a marketing thing for the new Ibanez PGM so lets play it through something that sounds like a Pignose amp. Shall we use a Friedman, or something? No, a Pignose will do!" 🙄
