Matt Blackett Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Mr. Gilbert had so much great stuff to say when I interviewed him for the Sept. issue that I couldn't fit it all. Check out this bonus piece where he talks about his decision to switch to DiMarzio single-coils, using a bow, and playing Pete Townshend guitar parts. This guy just flat-out rules! http://www.guitarplayer.com/article/paul-gilbert-bonus/jul-08/86633 Matt Blackett Associate Editor Guitar Player Magazine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarPlayerFL Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I love Paul's playing and his sense of humor. He EASILY had the best set in last year's G3 tour with Satch and Petrucci, although I'm a Satch freak and Petrucci was good (a bit too serious, though). And for those who think his music matches his playing, he really writes melodic tunes that are humorous. He's brilliant. Thanks for the extra interview.

Terrell Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I'm a subscriber and read that one twice already. Thanks for the bonus! I love that guy's playing, he's a musical machine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gifthorse Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Cool interview. I heard his last CD in Oregon last year when I was visiting friends. His playing has evolved alot, and so has his TONE!! Just think how far recording technology has come in the last 20 years.. Shrapnel was kicking out tons of shred albums in the 80's but now someone can do that in thier bedroom. I liked his tribute to Eddie on his last one. As for songs, I really haven't heard much of his material since Racer X. My buddy took lessons from him at GIT and liked him. Funny how he mentioned Guthrie Govan too. That guy is a complete sicko. Nice interview http://flagshipmile.dmusic.com/ http://www.myspace.com/gifthorse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg B. Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 If you want to see more of his sense of humor, go to www.paulgilbert.com and click on the photoshop tab. He does some hilarious stuff with photoshop. Racer X kicks @$$!!!!
