There were also other instances, but Yngwie and Paul have never played together which is sad because they are some of the greatest to hit the stage and I would pay to see it, but Paul even said once "Shawn Lane is the most terrifying guitarist of all time."

When Yngwie first hit the scene he took them all out, his vibrato, phrasing, and tone was the best by far. The bottom line is... Yngwie is a pioneer and innovator of modern rock guitar playing. He has inspired guitarist around the world including myself. He should be respected, that's all I'm saying. Btw... I also like Gary Moore, Vai, Gilbert, Stump etc... but Yngwie is the king!

Just pure skill, he is a master of the guitar!
Rack mounted Compression sir
he cares
It's 2020 and Paul Gilbert's energy is still going harder than his licks on this song
Still in 2021! Paul Gilbert Rulez!
Still in 2023!
I love how accurate player he is!
Exacly man
deadly true, I was thinking the same!!!
Doesn't miss a note. It is nuts
Everytime I think Im good at guitar, I come here to get my ego turned down. What a great musician
DO NOT! compare yourself to Paul Gilbert, it will only end in heartbreak.
It's amazing that even when Paul writes an Yngwie based song it still screams out Paul's personality.
Saw this video years ago. Never actually noticed this. Tells you how original and great Paul really is.
One could hear a lot of both to be honest, wheb Paul play licks which Ynwie don't like to use, it scream Paul, but then he goes into licks Ynwie would use, it's all Yngwie, just makes me think they both should have one stage performance together, it would be great
What a beast. I get a bit inspired and frustrated at the same time every time I hear or see Paul playing.
Same here brother
It's okay dude, sometimes i literally weep for my shittiness
He is great, and very humble person Múltiple times he had recon Yngwie's influence and showed to him high respect
Same... how did he get that good... gifted and hard work and just insanity. He's incredible. Well let's all keep practicing... one day! :D
Man you cant get frustrated. I always pick my guitar and start playing some exercises when i see paul playing.
This is the best thing Gilbert has done. hands down.
Absolutely
my hands are anything but down, busy trying to play this thing
Technical difficulties pretty bad ass too
This is the type of guy who doesn't sell his soul but still outperforms everyone The type of guy who understands the pain of fans with guitars without tremolo bars, so he removes his
Even his fast picking arpeggios are clean af! Top tier all day long.
An absolute celebration of human ability. This puts a smile on my face.
I can’t understand why Paul Gilbert isn’t more famous, same w/ Mr Big, truly a supergroup. Paul can play anything, one of my all time favorite guitarists.
Love the thumbs-up at 5:58 after that crazy ass solo, like "you guys can pick your jaws up off the floor now".
I must have watched this a thousand times and every time it gives me goosebumps
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.
Just to add to my already ass-kissing comment.... This video is one of hundreds that show how he is literally just better than everyone else.
Paul Gilbert seems like a totally chill dude. So cool that someone in the guitar god camp is apparently completely unaffected by his status. Cheers.
Always coming back to this live. One of the best versions of Viking kong no doubt !
agree! also - you should hear their version of "While My Guitar Gently Sleeps" with Yellow Mustard something.. he played with DreamTheatre's Mike Portnoy. That version/cover is sick and full of PG's master guitar playing, in a really awesome pop rock melody.
I’m a massive yngwie fan but this is better than anything he’s put out
Lmao this struck yngwie's career so hard, even though there were plenty S tier shredders, nobody really had that much neoclassical clout. Then gilbert came and mopped the floor with everyone, saying I can do that Classical Shit any fuckin time of the day
@@_azu7 true this video is a massive flex on guitar mortals
Paul's technique is flawless
PG was pissed off when the crowd laughed at him when he said he had made it easy form. So he burned his whole energy in this performance and the legend has been born
Amazing.....paul has very accurate picking, timming, dynamic, emotion, phrasing, and screaming sound in this video 😎🤘🤘....my all time favorite guitarist 👍👍👍👍👍
f~~~~~n AWEsome
i watched your videos it was awesome
O teacher from the happy distant past..
This man can play anything what a musician I've always love his playing
My face just melted 🤠
I like this song when he plays it with Nuno Bettencourt. Btw, PG is out of this world but there's only one YJM.
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 can really hear the influence he had on Buckethead especially when it comes to monstrous epic riffage
Do you have a link to where paul plays it with nuno?
@@klbax63 I agree here. 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.
From technique to musicality to personality, Paul is superior to YJM. You cannot change my mind lol
These were probably finger exercises before he decided to turn it into a song.
Paul Gilbert is so awesome what a guitarist never heard anyone like him my favorite guitars is Jimmy Page then Angus Young number two
@@RLA-xt6ou Have you seen Paco de Lucía play?
@@jga3323 he's amazing
20 years later...Paul is still the best of the best shredders out there.
This brings me to tears for some reason...
5:30 to 6:00 completely blows my mind....the entire song is amazing but when he tilts that guitar back to play that and that look on his face and his right hand....OMG
Not only is he amazing being "Paul" in his playing you could totally hear where Yngwie would be playing and could even mark where they start and stop. AMAZING.
Where the fuck does he find those notes? Does he have frets I don't have?
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.
That makes him a great guitarist, for me and you and everybody to watch, copy and learn from him. Because most of his work is just solid.
One of my favorite shredders ever. Not just because of his incredible shredding, but he has the most insane bends and vibrato. That paired with his tone, just amazing.
Paul STILL NO.1 in picking....😍
Magnificent...... This is Viking wild,. My air guitar just shredded the lounge room up... cool :)
this really sounds like a Malmsteen song, but it's more tasteful. :D
That's a great way to put it.
no, its not close to his clean neo classical shred
It reminds me of giardino
Tushar Sharma No idiot
Its called neoclassical style. Thats all.
This is the meaning of life! See Paul to play viking kong.... I´ll still alive to see this one more time...
Absolutely amazing!
Inspired by yngwie or not, it is one of the coolest songs paul has ever done! Amazing!
5:31 onwards, holy fuck.
HotZin 6:11 you can see him acknowledge that he just absolutely nailed the solo
Couldn't have said it better.
Who rockin' Paul Gilbert in 2020!?!
Gilbert is god of shredding.
Your comment is correct! He's the one Shredder I just never get tired of listening to.
love the casual thumbs up as if to say "yeah that was pretty good"
WOW, PAUL PLAYS YNGWIE LIKE HE'S WALKING IN THE PARK. AMAZING PAUL, AMAZING.
What a composition! Stellar
Always been awesome, Paul Rocks!!
Love Paul, always astonished by the tennis racket sized hands of his...makes it look so easy. LOL
Definitely conjures up Yngwie's early 'feel' even from his days back in Sweden... At any rate, respect to Paul for one of the best instrumentals ever and respect to Yngwie for the inspiration! They both RULE! \m/
Never get tired of watching/listening to him
I love it.... so melodic and soulful.
Probably the guitarist who mastered the best his right hand technique
He didn't really dedicate this to Yngwie, he wanted to play a duet with him and Yngwie declined. Paul Gilbert had already played with his hero (Shawn Lane) at the NAMM show. They played Let It Be and Paul let Shawn take the whole spotlight. There were also other instances, but Yngwie and Paul have never played together which is sad because they are some of the greatest to hit the stage and I would pay to see it, but Paul even said once "Shawn Lane is the most terrifying guitarist of all time."
Yup Shawn is nightmare material!!!!
It's Always Amazing to Watch this video.. even 10 years later. 😎🤟❤
I keep coming to old videos like this, pre 2010, it just brings back memory Downloading youtube videos using keepvid haha
Sin duda Paul Gilbert es el guitarrista más tecnico y creativo que haya escuchado jamás
Im not a big fan of shredders but Paul has so much style and feel not just aimless pace and repetition.
Inspiring to watch. One of the best.
This song is so dope !!! Love his vibrato.
5:30-5:47 That picking though....So nasty it's unreal
Thats just string skipping + legato
@@brotherfiretribe9566 yea but no one heard u play that clean and fast so shut up
I'm pretty sure Yngwie didn't do the duet for fear he'd be shown up. Paul Gilbert is King! Or do I mean Kong? ;)
thats what i was thinking
:)
Dellani Oakes lets be honest, yngwie is a much better songwriter, and I love Paul..
Dellani Oakes agreed!
No.
Awesome! I love Paul Gilbert.
Wow!!! Amazing!!!
Those are all the notes I have. I don't have any more notes.
Man this video would be sick with Malmsteen, shit even without him it's fantastic
Amazing.
Shreds baby...shreds.......... This ladies and gentlemen is what alternate picking is all about.. One of the greatest most beautiful inventions ever made by the human race...the guitar. And and angel came down from heaven yesterday,he stayed with us just long enough to teach us how it should be played.Thank you Jimi. And now i'm gonna go for another lightspeed fretboardride on the Paul Gilbert Shred Rollercoaster!! Baroque n Roll
being a good instrument player is a one thing, but being able to compose is even greater, he's got all of this.
Aside from killer playing all around, that pick attack is E-ville!
Still love this video in 2021 Thank you for not taking it down after 14 years
guilt you are an outstanding guitarist I truly believe you are one of the best in the world
How inthe F can he NOT miss one. Damn. Note. FFS Paul, you are a damn genius!
i love how everyone laughed when he said "make it easy for Yngwie" lol
This dude is really freaking amazing! I wish I had his guitar skills.
Love the rhythm on that and of coarse his solos are just incredible..Paul is for sure among the best..like way up on that list..!!!..
Those Diminished String Skips are so clean. He seems to be spot on throughout this whole concert.
That intro and first minute, minute and a half...sounds like Cacophony with Marty Friedman and Jason Becker
ViAaRo YES!!!!!
Right?
Reminded me also of something from the Perpetual Burn album.
What impress the hell out of me is that break... If there's no click track it means that he's able to stay in time for a very very long number of bars and come back perfectly on the beat.
my feeling was that the backing track ended/paused, he solo'd for as long as he wanted and then gave the sign for the track to continue at 5:52. I could be wrong, but it was just the way the track came back on just after the hand movement
this guy is just amazing..
To all you would be guitarists, for your own benefit please don't try and play along 😂
mom... i wanna my pinkie that long
Mabe you need bigger ears?
Ok so he really does have an unnaturally long pinkie doesnt he?
@@THEmaggspie excluding the thumb, he has 4 middle fingers
Mom: We already have a pinky at home The pinky at home: Your Pinky.
..so does your mom.
Beautiful
So Clean Wow !!
Man, there will never be another like him. He alternate picks in places it would make more sense to legato-tap. But then again, "he can" & where we could only dream of doing. His skill is right up there with Stevie Vai & Satch. Awesome performance. I envy your pick attack Paul!!! Brutal.
Paul should make a duet with Steve Vai, and call it "Vai-king Kong" haha!!
a Gigant, a guitar hero. excelent.
I've been periodically watching this video since it had about 10k views. almost a million now. almost a view for every note. Paul Gilbert for life!!!!!!!
1,000,105!
After watching the whole video I understand why Yngwie didn't want to play with Paul. This would have been a tough act to beat! Paul is the ultimate Shredder, it would have been nice to have had Shawn Lane too. :-)
Shawn was amazing, I had the pleasure of chilling out with him on several occasions. Exentric to say the least. And a god heart, pretty nice guy. you gotta give those next level guys some leeway sometimes though, they're in a different place mentally. got to jam a couple lessons with him, impromptu, and fun. he'd show me some impossible shit and break it down for me. He's missed. And, oh yeah, Paul's git a fire, agressivenes that seems rate. his technique, the look of him when he plays is ruthless. prolly my favorite!
The last part is super insane but surprisingly its not hard. Its an A Harmonic Minor string skipped arpeggio. Its so funny because hes only picking three notes but because of the hammer ons and pull off it sounds like a billion. The problem of playing the lick is the cleanliness and speed. IF you have most of his string skipped arpeggios down its quite simply a slightly bigger stretch
it's a diminished arp, though it fits into a Harmonic minor scale contextually...its still just a diminished arp. Harmonic minor refers to a minor scale with a 7th raised by a half step.
+Leo Pollock I know I am very well aware of that, this comment was back when I didn't know much music theory but thanks for clarifying that
its really amazing
Such a showman; shreds the hell out for several minutes then comes back in with a casual thumbs up as if it were nothing.
I'm pretty sure that YM can not pay many of paul gilbert licks... You can check the dvd "intense rock1" when he was like in his 20's
Guerreros de la Eternidad Yngwie is still one of the fastest Shredder guitarists out there
To Joshua Tweed... but Yngwie was one of the first to incorporate baroque music in rock/metal at a high level. When Yngwie first hit the scene he took them all out, his vibrato, phrasing, and tone was the best by far. The bottom line is... Yngwie is a pioneer and innovator of modern rock guitar playing. He has inspired guitarist around the world including myself. He should be respected, that's all I'm saying. Btw... I also like Gary Moore, Vai, Gilbert, Stump etc... but Yngwie is the king!
@@damienfaustmandibleresecti3833 - probably Blackmore was the first and then Uli Jon Roth right behind him. Yngwie took what they started and brought it different level.
Whoooo.... Love 💗💗
Paul is a great composer and is amongst the greats as a guitarist. Man!! He's just an awesome player. His riffs, chops,technical prowess is otherworldly. A virtuoso he is.
