Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@TonyCazorla @Guitarkadia #guitarchat Hi Tony, The Great Guitar Escape is going to be amazing this year!
Shawn Persinger@50GuitarBooks
@PaulGilbertRock #GuitarChat Whatever happened to Electric Fence?
Shawn Persinger@50GuitarBooks
@PaulGilbertRock #GuitarChat I watched all the Electric Fence videos as a student at MI. I can't believe Paul SANG "Achilles Last Stand"!
Shawn Persinger@50GuitarBooks
@PaulGilbertRock #GuitarChat And he played Bad Finger solos beautifully, note-for-note. Give us more Electric Fence.
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@50GuitarBooks #guitarchat I think my guitar was tuned down really low, so I could sing it. I love playing covers.
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@50GuitarBooks #guitarchat I usually include some surprise covers in my live shows.
Ralph Johns@Ralphonzo1
@PaulGilbertRock #guitarchat Hi Paul, I know you like to cook. Can I ask what your favourite food to make on tour is?
DarkDayz@ta2dmillionaire
@PaulGilbertRock wat do u think of shredding today? is it dead? #GuitarChat
Picka Picka@GoldTGtr
@PaulGilbertRock To you, the toughest part of being a touring musician is: ___ #GuitarChat
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@GoldTGtr #guitarchat Waking up early to go the airport... right after a late show.
Ralph Johns@Ralphonzo1
@PaulGilbertRock #guitarchat Hi Paul, I know you like to cook. Can I ask what your favourite food to make on tour is?
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@Ralphonzo1 #guitarchat On the road, I just bring an orange juice squeezer, and make lots of juice.
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@Ralphonzo1 #guitarchat Chinese dumplings!
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@ta2dmillionaire #guitarchat Any style of music is kept alive by the players who play it. The most important thing is to do it well.
DarkDayz@ta2dmillionaire
@PaulGilbertRock wats ur opinion of all the new modeling rack units?are u a fan of these or do u prefer tube amps live n studio?#GuitarChat
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@ta2dmillionaire #guitarchat I haven't plugged into many new amps. I like old music and old amps!
Shawn Persinger@50GuitarBooks
@PaulGilbertRock #GuitarChat Any chance of you and Guitar Player magazine putting out a book of your articles for G.P., with audio?
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@50GuitarBooks #guitarchat I'd be happy for that to happen. I've just been busy with new stuff.
Guitarkadia@Guitarkadia
@PaulGilbertRock What came easy for you when you were learning guitar? What was hard? #GuitarChat
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@Guitarkadia #guitarchat Technique did NOT come easily. But I could also hear notes and rhythms. Especially rhythms. I could feel them.
Tony Cazorla@TonyCazorla
@PaulGilbertRock @Guitarkadia #guitarchat Amazing, cant wait to be there and JAM ! I would like to learn some of your jazz-blues new stuff !
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@TonyCazorla @Guitarkadia #guitarchat I'm going to make sure to give EVERYONE a chance to jam with me at the Great Guitar Escape!
Le Petit Cabron@Bultacosaturno
@PaulGilbertRock Alternate picking is the most dificult thing to sincronize w/ fretting hand don´t you think? #guitarchat @Guitarkadia
Guitarkadia@Guitarkadia
@PaulGilbertRock What's the biggest myth about improving technique? #GuitarChat
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@Guitarkadia #guitarchat That 3-note-per-string scales are useful!
DarkDayz@ta2dmillionaire
@PaulGilbertRock how bout the new 8 string revolution? have u ever got accustomed to the 7 or 8 string guitar? #GuitarChat
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@ta2dmillionaire #guitarchat 6-strings is plenty to occupy my brain. Any more, and it will melt!
Shawn Persinger@50GuitarBooks
@PaulGilbertRock #GuitarChat Understood. Just want you to know those articles are classics, they deserve to be revisited. Thanks.
Ralph Johns@Ralphonzo1
@PaulGilbertRock #guitarchat I remember you saying this in Plymouth last year with Mike Baugh :)
Le Petit Cabron@Bultacosaturno
@PaulGilbertRock I use soft picks like you, it seems to help w/ picking and are very versatile picks, you´re still w/ 0.60? #guitarchat
Tony Cazorla@TonyCazorla
@PaulGilbertRock @Guitarkadia #guitarchat Nice to hear it !! Paul, thx for the opportunity, last year I learned a lot, lot of ideas !!
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@cithara917 @Guitarkadia #guitarchat Take the time to be excellent. Find good people to work with. Play songs!
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@xecretcode #guitarchat Hi Nick!
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@cithara917 @Guitarkadia #guitarchat I would have told myself to choose lower-range songs to sing. But for guitar... I'm happy!
Guitarkadia@Guitarkadia
@PaulGilbertRock What makes a good guitar instructor? I've always found you broke things down for students very well! #GuitarChat
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@Guitarkadia #guitarchat I try to really LISTEN to the student's playing. And give them something that they can play right away.
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@TonyCazorla @Guitarkadia #guitarchat Thank you!
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@Bultacosaturno #guitarchat I've been using Tortex .060mm for ten years. I love them! Great tone, great pick scratches, and plenty fast.
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@ta2dmillionaire #guitarchat I hope I can remember all the things that happen to me. I'm still too busy doing them, to write about them.
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@Bultacosaturno #guitarchat What ever is comfortable and get the tone you want!
Guitarkadia@Guitarkadia
@PaulGilbertRock How did you join up with @ArtistWorks ? #GuitarChat
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@Guitarkadia @ArtistWorks #guitarchat It's been nearly a year that my rock school has been open. My students have been getting BETTER.
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@Guitarkadia @ArtistWorks #guitarchat I was excited to take my decades of rock playing and teaching and make it available online.
DarkDayz@ta2dmillionaire
@PaulGilbertRock jus wanted to thnk u fr all the great music n inspiring me to keep playin n practicing !!#GuitarChat
Le Petit Cabron@Bultacosaturno
@PaulGilbertRock Are you still studying jazz? Was it hard for you to improvise w/ chord progressions and soloing w/ chords? #guitarchat
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@Bultacosaturno #guitarchat Jazz is very challenging for a rock player... those chord changes are crazy! But it helps everything.
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@ta2dmillionaire #guitarchat Thank you. I'll keep practicing too. The more that I play, the more I love the guitar.
(weird. The next question, from @GoldTGtr, was sth like 'did you ever make it to the lucky 666 students at AW?' It's not in the transcript.)
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@GoldTGtr #guitarchat Ha ha! It's not the quantity, it's the quality. And all the people at my online school are fantastic.
Shawn Persinger@50GuitarBooks
@PaulGilbertRock #GuitarChat I've seen your Italian jazz lesson on Youtube. Any thoughts on doing a jazz recording?

Guitarkadia@Guitarkadia
@PaulGilbertRock Any guitar albums from the past 5 years you recommend we check out? #GuitarChat
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@Guitarkadia #guitarchat I hope that "guitar" will work it's way back into "regular music" so that every album is a "guitar album"!
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@Bultacosaturno #guitarchat Jazz is very challenging for a rock player... those chord changes are crazy! But it helps everything.
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@Bultacosaturno #guitarchat I always like to learn songs. I studied songs by Chaka Khan, Steely Dan, and more...
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@TonyCazorla @Guitarkadia #guitarchat First priority: Jam with everyone. If there's time after that... I'll squeeze in some private lessons.
DarkDayz@ta2dmillionaire
@PaulGilbertRock #GuitarChat ive always played by ear...is learning music and theory xtremely helpful n improving my playing??
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@ta2dmillionaire #guitarchat Music theory helped me understand chords. I love 60s and 70s pop music, so I was happy to know more.
Picka Picka@GoldTGtr
@PaulGilbertRock Well, first you tackled speed, then rhythm/time, now clarity. What's next? #GuitarChat
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock

Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@Guitarkadia #guitarchat I wish there WAS a routine. Mostly, prevent disasters, and the rest of the time, play guitar!
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@Guitarkadia #guitarchat In a perfect world, I love to practice in the morning. My brain is fresh, and I get better ideas then.
Le Petit Cabron@Bultacosaturno
@PaulGilbertRock But...it seems you´re admiting you have trouble getting out of bed xD #guitarchat @Guitarkadia
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@Bultacosaturno @Guitarkadia #guitarchat Nah, I just end up doing non-musical things first. Something is always breaking!
Guitarkadia@Guitarkadia
@PaulGilbertRock What's the one piece of advice you'd give to someone who is searching for a voice in his/her guitar playing? #GuitarChat
Paul Gilbert@PaulGilbertRock
@Guitarkadia #guitarchat You used a good word... "voice." Just play what you hear in your head. You have to hear it first.
Guitarkadia@Guitarkadia
@PaulGilbertRock Excellent advice! Thank you so much, Paul, for taking the time to join us tonight. It's been an honor!! #GuitarChat
