Hey…at 54 years old and growing up in the 80’s every guitar player and their brother were shredding and bending on every song…BUT out of all those crazy years very few guitarists stood out above the rest and stood the test of time and Paul Gilbert was like a master teaching pre schoolers and he’s still here today winning over new fans. He’s THE genius! My 5 favorite master guitarist in order are Paul Gilbert Rik Emmett Randy Rhoads Yngwie Melmsteen and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Paul Gilbert is hands down the greatest guitarist of all time. Like his music or not (and I'm not a huge fan of his music, I like his music, but I love his seemingly unparalleled ability), he is better than anyone who has ever picked up a six string. He can literally do anything and everything, and he does it better than anyone else who has ever done it.

No, but secret to Paul play is really simple, not driving the notes too fast, or too slow. You just fit them in the tempo, and do the normal scale runs with very slight variations or any variation you like. Paul is really doing the master-easy by the book job, that's why he is too good.

In my opinion Paul's stuff is way more interesting that Yngwie not to mention of all the virtuoso guitarists out there watching Paul's mechanics he makes it look so deceptively easy and his compositions are far more catchy than anything Yngwie has done in 25 years still dig Yngwie but Paul is way more diverse .

I don't think anyway is doubting Malmsteem's technical ability, but a lot of his songs are pretty repetitive and in my opinion don't hold as much diverse, melodic, beauty as Paul Gilberts or even Jason Beckers. I think that is where Paul Gilbert wins. You notice that in this song Paul isn't just doing scales the entire time, but adding more emotion.
