Well George Harrison developed his technique quite a lot over time. Especially later he was able to play his solos with a much better technique. John Lennon is also very underrated as a guitar player. Although I agree with Paul it's not like they still sounded as they didn't improve on their technique over time. I think he really should have pointed that out. The Beatles were also less about solos but about complex chord structures. They used quite unusual chords for a pop bands.

I saw a video of him taking the pentatonic and dropping the 3rd and replacing it with the 4th. All up and down the neck too, not just a box solo. So, like in A minor pentatonic he dropped the C and added back in the F. I was like, wait, you can do that! Lol. Guy is just awesome.

Ok so I have a Paul Gilbert story. Back in 2012 a few friends of mine and I attended the winter namm show. PG was playing at a very small hotel bar one of the nights. It was a killer show. One of my friends who is also a massive Gilbert fan was getting absolutely hammered during the show. Lol. The minute the shows over Paul runs off stage and out the main doors and up a flight of stairs. My friend says “let’s follow him! Maybe we can get an autograph or something.” I said “uh No. that’s a bad idea.” After a few more pleas from him I caved. We go up the stairs and at the end of the hall was a conference room. We could hear talking from inside. My friend opens the door and low and behold there is Paul in the back end of the room about 15’ away standing in his underwear. The moment my friend sees him he blurts out “Dude it’s Paul Gilbert just loud enough that he hears him. At this point my friends got his back to PG and I’m facing him. After PG finishes getting dressed he heads towards us and I’m thinking he’s gonna be super pissed and have us escorted out or worse. The moment he gets to us he says “Hey guys did you guys see the show?” We are both shocked he wasn’t angry by us being there. We proceeded to talk about the show and his gear for a few minutes and then took a few pics and went on our way. Just goes to show how great of a guy PG is. I’m sure any other rock star would have had our asses kicked and thrown out.

He was born at one of luckiest times to grow up with music. He’s old enough to remember the Beatles when they were still a band. He was about 5 to 8 when 70’s Bubble gum/glam (Raspberries/Sweet/T-Rex & Alice Cooper, Bowie) ruled the rock airwaves. He was about 10 going into a being young teenager when 70’s hard rockers like Zeppelin, Aerosmith Sabbath & KISS were giving way to new super skilled rock bands like Boston, UFO & Van Halen. He got a full ear of Punk and New Wave and then the rebirth of British metal with a renewed Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath, Scorpions & Judas Priest. Which then of course introduced new rockers like Iron Maiden, Dio, Ozzy, Def Leppard. Loudness and Anthem in Japan. And in the US, bands like Motley Crue, Quiet Riot, Dokken, WASP, Armored Saint, Black and Blue, and Lizzy Borden… And of course Paul’s Racer X. Every time you hear Paul Gilbert’s interviews and playing, what your hearing is his distilling of all his growing years of listening to hard rock and 70’s AM pop. I’m from Paul’s era. I grew up in L.A. worked at shows when he was with Willie in Black Sheep m, right up to the Racer X show at the Country Club when they essentially co- headlined with Anthem from Japan. We even opened for Racer X early in their club days having no idea who they were or what their significance to hard rock would be some 30 years later. Every time Paul does an interview, I can’t wait to watch it because it always leaves a big smile on my face and many good memories about growing up in the same era that he did, and of all the music that has worked its way into my memory banks, down into my heart and then back out thru my fingers. This was one more of those moment’s.

By far my favourite episode. Paul's always been part of my guitar journey and his unwavering enthusiasm for the guitar is so incredibly infectious. His knowledge and ability are, pretty much, unsurpassed. I'd give anything to have ears like his and I've not lost any of my hearing. Thanks for this episode Tyler, pretty sure it's one I'll be re-watching.

He’s definitely not underrated. Just look at the career he’s had so far. We were worshipping him in the 80’s!

Why do people always say that? That sentence is on loads of videos and the amount of times people say it and it is just nonsense is ridiculous! A video about Leonardo DaVinci, "Hes SO underrated!" ..about Jimi Hendrix, "Hes SO underrated!" How is Paul Gilbert underrated? Its such a strange thing to say... I know you are trying to pay him a compliment by saying it, but its simply not true, he is a very rated guitarist!

He's not underrated. The only thing is that he is sometimes mistakenly seen as only a shredder, and his versatility and feel are not always recognized.

OMG, he asks Paul what's his #1 guitar right now and he goes and pulls out an exact copy of my first "real" guitar. Ibanez Roadstar II in the purple burst finish with gold hardware. The only difference is mine has the black plastic pickup covers on them. Bought it new in the mid 80's when I was 16 and played the crap out of that thing. it's in need of some work and has been in it's case for the past 7 or 8 years. Seeing Paul pull that out was really cool.

Man, I love Paul Gilbert! My favourite thing about him is his unfathomable level of nerdiness, like in the middle of an interview he'll reference a very specific part of a song just to get a point across. Like once he said something like "The last two notes of Hang 'em high by Van Halen" when explaining his delay settings! I find that so relatable and its awesome! XD And of course, it goes without saying how insane his playing is. He's equally good at shredding as he is at blues which is a really cool balance. I can't play any of his stuff but I had his guitar pedal (JHS PG-14) haha!

When he talks about the lick that was a breakthrough in his picking...my breakthrough was the same lick, from a GIT Paul Gilbert ad in a guitar mag. He said to practice it until it sounded like a popsicle stick caught in your bicycle spokes. So I sat down on the couch, turned on the TV, and did just that. After a few hours of watching TV while doing that exercise I could alternate pick.

If Paul really is losing his hearing, that sucks. He’s not even that old. Cool guy, awesome player, always willing to drop knowledge.
