We figured you could use a shot of complete guitar insanity to kick off the weekend.
Here's a 10-year-old clip of the amazing Paul Gilbert, just sitting around, using a looper and getting some fretboard help from a friend (since two hands aren't always enough). It has, understandably, been viewed more than 6 million times on YouTube.
This video is (or was?) associated with the December 2006 issue of Guitar One magazine, which I think can be found in a huge stack of old guitar mags on my desk. Enjoy!
By the way, Gilbert has a new studio album out. I Can Destroy was released in Japan in December. For more about that, plus the 2016 edition of Paul Gilbert's Great Guitar Escape, visit paulgilbert.com.
“I walk in and Hans has me sit down. And he goes, ‘Let’s just get down to business. I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately’”: After his spiritual awakening, Tim Henson is ready for anything – heavy Polyphia, trippy solo records and A-list film collabs
“There’s amazing players like Josh Smith and Eric Gales, and I thought, ‘OK, I’ve been missing out. I’m learning the blues’”: Tosin Abasi said he wanted to release a blues album – is it still on the cards?
