Paul Gilbert is not only one of the best players in the world but is also a talented teacher.

[melvynobrien]

I've been teaching for over twenty years, and I've never seen anyone articulate musical ideas for guitar in words and playing as well as Paul Gilbert. I learn something every time I watch a Paul Gilbert video. Brilliant!

Had the pleasure of meeting this gentleman about 10 years ago. I worked on a Mr. Big music video in a recording studio in LA. It was a small crew of about 4 people and the guys were all top class musicians and wonderful people. No egos, great sense of humor, and very approachable. Legends. RIP Pat.

Paul Gilbert is so amazing. You can just see in this video he still has the child-like love of guitar.

He taught Brian Carroll. If y'all know, y'all know. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but hearing Buckethead talk about his parents driving him to guitar lessons with Paul, and how much he changed his life, is pretty fuckin heavy. Hearing Satchel from 'Steel Panther' talk about living in the spare room when Paul went on the road with 'Mr. Big' is epic as well. Just a great man, who happens to be one of the greatest and most inspirational guitar players/guitar teachers of all time.

When I was a teenager I saw Racer X in Hollywood and was able to get on to the back of the stage and actually sit on top of one of Paul's cabinets with my buddy beside me for about 3 songs before we were kicked off! I think it damaged my ears but it was totally worth it! Paul is amazing. One of the most mind-blowing guitarists ever and now I see he's an amazing teacher, too. This makes me smile and want to play along with all of his lessons. Thank you, Paul. You're the best!

I love Paul Gilberts "think like a drummer" approach to guitar. He references this in many of his videos. And when you listen to him play, he really treats the guitar like a percussion instrument just as much as a melody instrument.

[michaelmiller]

Being a drummer/percussionist has helped tremendously. It's getting the hands to find the right notes/string to make the music I hear in my head that's the problem.

[goblin]

paul has such a great attitude for teaching. very friendly and soft spoken while being articulate in his explanations

[thought]

still one of the best teachers and guitarists on the planet.

[jitsroller]

This is probably the best piece of advice I ever could have received at this time in my playing.

[Slears]

phrasing is simply the part where most musicians fail...so yes it is the hardest part off all

[Mr.Bassman]

Such a cool dude on top of being an amazing guitarist and extremely knowledgeable teacher. Class act.

[georgioskaratsoris]

I always learn something new from Paul Gilbert! He is one of my favourite guitarists of all time!

[thelukester]

I always wondered why i felt like my phrasing could use an improvement. This video taught me the improvements i need to make in my phrasing. Thank you paul gilbert.

[josephpeccerillo]

Great lesson. Too many musicians, myself included, just take rhythmic content for granted. We practice hours a day learning our scales, arpeggios, chords, etc., but if it doesn’t have a rhythm you can’t make music. I had a guitar teacher that had me use flash cards. Each card has a one bar phrase written on it. He had me shuffle them and randomly lay them out in a sentence. First tap out the rhythm, then play notes in a phrase to match the rhythm. Very helpful in getting the creative side working.

I started doing this years ago by total accident, I was doing my usual warm up with a metronome and when I'd stop in-between I found myself doing exactly this so I started to bring this in with my warming up practice routine, its especially fun when you start to increase the metronome bpm .

[SamBellGuitar]

There are a lot of great tutors out there, I find myself coming back to Paul all the time, even after years of playing, his advice is always refreshing and gets me back on track.

[KKoerli]

Had teachers for years that tried to teach me improvisation. Paul comes along with a ten minute videos and nails it! I totally understood it know, the basics at least i mean^^
