  • "I don't really do that much fast picking", said the fastest, cleanest picker ever. Also appreciated, "classical music... neither of which I'm particularly expert at." Yep, Guitars from Mars part 1 absolutely doesn't feature PG playing a dozen classical pieces perfectly... This is why I love PG - just a humble, down to Earth human being without an ounce of ego, but who can melt fretboards and faces like no one else

    @jsl21@jsl216 ай бұрын
    • Lol that's what I thought. The idea of making fast picking harder because you want your pick scratches to sound better is such a Paul thing to do.

I worked at a music store amd a co worker that worked at the tacoma store knew him, so thats how i was introduced. Such a nice guy!!!!!! He and my coworker friend were going to go out to a restaurant for some dinner and Paul was like "cmon man, lets get some food". But like an idiot i turned the offer down as i was hoping to meet the scorpions "which of course didnt happen". Again, he's super friendly and cool, not to mention a fanominal player.

Jaw-dropping doesn't come anywhere close to adequately describing the experience and when you add Billy into the mix it was a bucket list item for sure. Nick killed it too!!!

  • Somewhere around 1974, I was hanging out with Doc Kauffman in his Santa Ana home as he was "tuning up" my Strat. I knew how to adjust my Strat --- I really just wanted to hear Doc's stories. During that visit, he finds one of the new plastic milk cartons (in the trash, pre-recycling) and cuts out a pick shape. Then he takes one of those old railroad conductor hole punches and puts 3 holes in the new pick. He hands it to me and says "that there is the Doc Kauffman pick." It looks so much like Paul's multi-hole pick. I still have it! (Hi NDV!)

  • It’s impossible not to like Paul Gilbert. He just seems like he’d be the coolest dude to hang out with. The thing that blows me away about him is how he can shred like there’s no tomorrow and then grab a slide and play on the same guitar without bottoming out and clacking on the frets. You’d think the action would be super low for shredding yet his slide playing is so smooth.

  • I love the magnet idea, I've always been looking for a way to mount it to hold, and make accessible, that runaway slide in such an effortless way. I remember watching Eric Johnson switching back and forth with the slide. But he would hold it in his mouth, as it wasn't long before a stream of drool would come trickling down. Great performance, but very undignified. That problem is now solved. My alternative idea was to hire a midget to stand to my left side and hold it, apply it, and release it. It was very hard to find such good help.
