Just returned from the firework shop to find this news from Rich Murray who spotted this news item... a real cracker that's sure to rocket up the charts...OK, no more fire work puns...

Anyway Rich spotted that Paul Gilbert is headed to the studio for another release. Which is double bonus news as Paul's truth in shredded birthday is on November 6th! Paul says:

It's November, 2007 and I'm back in the recording studio making a brand new CD! After the success of the "GET OUT OF MY YARD" CD and playing on G3 this year, I am feeling inspired and still very much in the mood for guitar music. So this new CD will be all-instrumental as well. I will announce more details soon, but now I have to dedicate my time to writing new songs and making new sounds on the electric guitar!



Also, I now have SHIRTS and HOODIES available for sale on the internet. Please go to the RACER X website to order and get more details. www.racerxband.com/store.htm

plus a 2000 interview on guitarmessenger.com

I wish I had time to go back to school! Just take advantage of where you are and learn everything you can. Organize your life to have as few distractions as possible and keep your hands moving on the guitar for hours every day. Play things that you LIKE, so that this experience is enjoyable and you want to keep doing it. Find other musicians to play with. Make recordings that I will want to listen to. Because then I can enjoy more music!

Another top quality interview from the boys at alloutguitar.com with Paulo Gilberto...some great inside information..including what I always suspected...what Kevin Elson did to Paul Gilberts guitar sound with Mr Big...

Paul Gilbert says

Initially I was just really excited to be in a band with Billy Sheehan: I was a huge Talas fan. I’d also heard Eric’s voice…! But what ultimately surprised me was the lack of volume shredding and excitement: I’d expected more! I was so much younger and less experienced than the other guys that I did not grab the bull by the horns and so was basically a follower for what Mr. Big became. Ultimately, to me the band was a bit of a disappointment never really reaching the excitement level I had anticipated despite the commercial success. After Racer X – where every millisecond of free space was to be filled with some humongous musical excess – Mr. Big was, in reality, pretty tame! The first album sounded to me like a lot like Bryan Adams filler material, although I think the second album had some really great songs.

Plus some more good news for the future...

The instrumental album was very hard; but I really enjoyed the process and the end result, and so I want to do another of those. Also, watching Joe and John really gets you an idea of how much a great instrumental tune can move an audience. I want to write more of those tunes.

Ye Hah...Saddle up Apone...Racer X dynamic duo is back...Bruce Bouillet and Paul Gilbert...plus that little old pressure cooker...Racer X! maybe I'll get to see them both this time around!...

This from Paul

I have very good news.

The double-guitar team from RACER X is back! Yes! I have been rehearsing with BRUCE BOUILLET, and he will be joining my band for our upcoming tour of Japan!

Bruce has just completed his own all-instrumental guitar album and has been concentrating 100% on playing guitar, so I thought it would be a great time to join forces and bring our wall of guitar solos, harmonies, and riffs to Japan for the first time ever!

Backed by the power of Mike Szuter on bass (and great vocals!) and the amazing Jeff Bowders on drums, Bruce and I will create the biggest, most exciting guitar sound since we played together last in 1988!

I can't wait to stand onstage, feel the guitar power, and share it with my fellow heavy rock fans in the audience.

I'm planning the setlist now. Of course I will be performing many songs from my new "GET OUT OF MY YARD" album. But I will also be playing some songs from my vocal solo albums, MR. BIG, and of course, RACER X.

Before we leave for Japan, we'll be playing at the VIPER ROOM in Los Angeles, on January 18th. I hope to add some other U.S. shows as well,
so keep checking back for additional dates.

Do not miss this amazing tour!!

Thank you,

Paul

Pseudo shredders prepare to meet thy maker. The king will finally release a solo album:
This from his official web site:

Guitar shredder Paul Gilbert (RACER X, ex-MR.BIG) has posted the following message on his official web site:

After living in Japan for six months, I'm back in the Los Angeles and starting production of my first guitar instrumental CD. I hope to record the most frightening guitar work I've ever done, and scare everyone within hearing distance with a towering monument of glowing guitar metal intenseness. The first step is practicing my guitar 100 hours a day. So off I go..."

Gilbert will be teaming up with DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy, Billy Sheehan (MR. BIG, DAVID LEE ROTH, TALAS) and Gary Cherone (VAN HALEN, EXTREME) to pay tribute to THE WHO by playing three very special shows across America. Dubbed AMAZING JOURNEY, the band have lined up the following dates:

May 27 - Whittier, CA @ The Center Theater Stage
May 30 - Chicago, IL @ Durty Nellie's
May 31 - New York City, NY @ BB King's Blues Clu

Technical Difficulties


Background:
Paul Gilbert was born on November 6, 1966. He was born in Carbondale, Illinois, he started playing guitar at the age of 5. After failing at the age of 11, he took up the guitar again. By the age of 15 he was not only touring local clubs with his band Tau Zero but was even spotlighted in Guitar Player alongside fellow up-and-comer Yngwie Malmsteen

and is the guitarist of his own band and Racer X and formerly of the band Mr. Big. After he parted ways with Mr. Big in 1996, Gilbert pursued his career as a solo guitarist and has evolved into a successful solo artist/singer/songwriter.

Born in Carbondale, Illinois, he started playing guitar at the age of 5, but soon gave up, becoming frustrated with just learning simple nursery rhymes. Around age 11, he took up the guitar again, but with a skewed memory of the technique; he played only with upstrokes, and only used his middle finger to fret notes. Frustrated after trying to play a fast metal song with a galloping rhythm using this technique, he took lessons, and his teacher explained the error of his ways. His technique corrected, Gilbert continued practicing, and by the age of 15 he was not only touring local clubs with his band Tau Zero but was even spotlighted in Guitar Player alongside fellow up-and-comer Yngwie Malmsteen.

Paul teaches at the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT). He works a great deal with GIT's division in Japan where he lived for a time before relocating to LA.
