Paul Gilbert

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 

Does anyone else appreciate this guitar player immensely? 

 

His work with Racer X and Mr. Big are great, but also his solo albums too. I'm listening through his "Get Out Of My Yard" album again, and it's fantastic. The recording quality is pretty awesome too.

 

Only reason I ask is because he has a new album, Fuzz Universe, coming out tomorrow (in Japan).

I'm a fan as well, underrated in my circles. His solo work is really great, Burning Organ and Flying Dog in particular. Oh and his contribution to the Guitars That Rule The World compilation is total win - "I Understand Completely" is his best composition IMO.

Very, very underrated. Not only that, lots of people haven't heard of him!

 

I suppose I appreciate him especially because I'm a guitar player myself... he's a fantastic teacher and his songs are very, very fun to learn.

I've never heard of him.  What kind of style and what distinguishes him?

He doesn't have a "style" - he can play pretty much any genre. He plays some awesome classical/acoustic stuff, but he can shred his ass off on an electric too.

I like! A lot!

 

This guy is clearly no gitar-god wannabe.  Aside from the technical prowess, he has a lot of imagination.  And better yet, sheer joy in playing.  Thanks!

 

Now for one of the old guys (give it enough time to get to the long solo after the bass solo).  You'll be able to see why I like Paul Gilbert's imagination.

Huge fan, saw him at G3 a while back and loved it. Love his Racer X and Mr.Big work. Dont like his solo stuff as much though, but there are some very good songs here and there.

Oh wow, he's great. Thanks to you too!

 

Yes... I love Gilbert's enthusiasm too. I get the feeling he'd be just as enthusiastic as he is even if he was just a smoke on the water on a single string kinda guy.

 

You guys might be familiar with Buckethead. Paul taught Buckethead.

Soooo jealous. Like seriously, jealous.

 

Listen to the album "Silence Followed By A Deafening Roar" in its entirety - that's a badass album.
