Paul is one of my favorite players. Puts on a hell of a guitar clinic as well. Super nice guy.

I remember hearing Paul locally a few years before he went out to GIT (as a student) and he was a great player even then!

When the 1st Racer X album came out, I wanted to give up the guitar!

Love his twisted sense of humor, too.

Yeah, big fan of that guy too. Makes me want to give up the guitar. Seems so effortless for him ...

I found this one of Eddie on there also, it's pretty killer!

That's from the Balance tour. He, supposedly, didn't want to play solo's like that anymore, everyone else pushed him to do it. Thus it is rushed and, believe it or not, not overly great, for Ed.

Try find one from the 1984 or 5150 tour.... it's like a different player.

Note: He's playing his EBMM, so that's early or midway through the tour. Toward the end he was playing ... err, other instruments.

Gilbert is fantastic. Anyone know what live show that's from? They have a couple live DVD's out don't they?

I love this stuff here... http://www.youtube.com/?v=T1x-6becWuw

Him and Billy Sheehan playing off each other.

I've had the good fortune of meeting Paul a few times (even got to jam with him once ).

Incredibly nice guy and an amazing player.

 

[Spudmurphy]

wow!!!!!

 

[Eilif]

Is that a Sterling that Mike is playing?

That EVH looks like it's missing a neck pickup...or am I seeing things?

Thanks for sharing.

EVH in this video has a Fernandes sustainer pickup in there. Shame he cant play like this now, rushed or not!!

I saw Paul Gilbert clinic once, he played Led Zep and Sabbath riffs over a Spice Girls song! It was awesome!
