This is Gary Oldman's best performance.... never breaks character, nails the accent, even learned to play guitar! Helluva actor.

[ruechel]

Another musician in full command of his instrument who hasn't lost his humility and humor. Cool dude PG.

What I love about Paul is whenever he talks and plays guitar, his passion, joy, and enthusiasm makes it seem like he just discovered the instrument yesterday. He gets excitement out of the simplest things like a bend in an almost child-like way. For someone like me who's been playing for 20+ years, that's incredibly inspiring.

[RoyBoldsWildFriends]

I love when he says “within my limit of ability”. How many guitarists have his level of ability. Such a humble class act; Paul is great!

[suzannecoholic]

Back when the full video interview came out, I watched. I love Paul's energy, honesty, and his humble attitude. A rock guitar hero for sure.

Paul playing the Rocky theme just made my day!! Pablo Gilberto Forever!

[Bigirondoug]

The world is a better place with Paul Gilbert in it.

[ckallaher]

The Rocky Theme shows beautifully what Paul has that many virtuosos lack, which is wit in their playing. He’s a very serious musician who has a light, joyful approach to the instrument, which is why we all love him so much.

Paul is such a crack up, " Leave that to the professionals" 😂. He's always so down to earth and humble, no arrogant attitude. Truly one of the best guitarists ever.

[martymcpeak]

Paul is such a great teacher that it's ridiculous. there's only two words to describe what shows on his face when he plays... musical joy....

[JJvienneau]

I ❤ Paul Gilbert as a guitarist and even more as a genuine human being!

[Tomekkplk]

Listen to 6:41-6:47 then skip to 7:06. PG is a legend and a hero for a reason. Dude burns people braincells with his shredding, knowledge, and technique and is abnormally humble. Definitely rock legend in my eyes. Glad people like Rick exist doing these types of interviews. You're doing every guitarist a favor.

[sole__doubt]

Its so encouraging to hear The Man himself has trouble with finger picking and hybrid picking. I certainly leave that to the professionals, lol

[tnourse]

I don’t think anyone loves to play guitar more than Paul. Amazing. 🤘

[markoakley]

The way he plays so fast at the end… OH MY GOD!!!

[MichaelSorensen-blec]

I was a classically trained pianist prior to playing guitar. My brain too wanted to make my fretting hand move in a linear fashion, it took a lot of effort to overcome that instinct and think across the fretboard instead of up and down according to pitch. Met Paul briefly one time at a guitar clinic, he was very gracious and polite, despite obviously being jet-lagged.

[basilandrigsby]

Paul Gilbert is pure joy! Lights up my day to watch him!

[michaelrains]

The way PG still plays with such a sense of joy and wonder and creativity is inspiring.

[dresdrum]

Paul is a beast! Listening since Racer X

[micklilley]

Paul is an absolute legend and such a great guy.
One of my favourite guitarists, awesome 👍🤘
