Talk:Paul Gilbert

message: Paul Gilbert is regarded as an extremely clean alternate picker and string skipper, but I never heard of him being an exceptional tapper. Sure he taps well, but he did not bring anything new or wasn't exceptional at tapping like Stanley Jordan or Reb Beach.

thread_title: Paul Gilbert and his technique

message: "Paul also teaches at the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT) which he attended as well Gary Hoey and many other talented guitar players." I'm having trouble parsing this sentence.  I think an 'as' in "as well as Gary Hoey" is missing.  Maybe it should be "attended with Gary Hoey"?  Or is it trying say that Gary Hoey and others also teach there?   It's so awkward that a one word change might not be enough to fix it and it should be rewritten.  Better yet, the whole Gary Hoey unconnected clause could be dropped.  I would do it, but I don't know what that sentence is supposed to say.  Chiok 12:22, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Paul Gilbert's real name 

message: I am only guessing this, but I am going to add Hendrix to the list merely because of the amount of cover's he's done and the obvious influence in his music.
Second thoughts, nevermind- if someone has some source ad it, I guess the 'blues' as an influence works enough, just thought that Hendrix seemed such a huge influence.
I don't believe a citation is needed regarding the last sentence, as among guitarists this is common knowledge.
I disagree strongly with the sentence regarding his legato technique. He is a very efficient picker and can both alternate-pick and use legato technique for blazing speed. No - he has blazing legato speed and uses it as often as alternate picking.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brprivate (talk • contribs) 21:43, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  instructor at GIT (specifically teaching buckethead) 

message: At the top of the page, in the mini-bio, it says he left Mr. Big in 1996, while later on in the article it says 1997.
Just wondering which is consistent. Mattz1010 19:45, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Small timing difference? 

message: Where has it been posted that the name if his 2008 album is going to be "Hoko"?  I have been to his website and I didn't see anything about the name of the album, but maybe I just missed it...

thread_title:  2008 album 

message: Paul did not switch from ADA preamps to Marshall Vintage Modern amplifiers - he used Laney amps for much of his career. Only recently did Paul switch to the Vintage Moderns.
Also, it would be helpful if someone put in a list of the pedals Paul uses, such as the Xonic AC Booster, or his modified ADA Flanger.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.212.247.0 (talk) 16:40, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Gear

message: I would like to include Revelation by Darrell Mansfield Band (1985). Paul Gilbert was the guest guitarist on a few songs. If I hear no objections I will add it to the list.

thread_title:  Addition to the Discography: Other appearances section 

message: This citation for "Top Shredders of All Time" is pretty lame. It's someone's personal website, for crying out loud. I can agree that Paul Gilbert is an amazing guitarist and probably belongs somewhere in the top 10, but come on, this is not a definitive source. Maybe if there were a poll ran in Rolling Stone and the results were cited, that would work, but not this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.17.195.11 (talk) 19:06, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bad Citation 

message: It seems like I read, years ago, that Paul Gilbert sang backing vocals on the two new songs on Sammy Hagar's Unboxed, but I haven't been able to find anything about it on the internet. Anyone know anything about this? Perhaps something about this could be mentioned in the article? Gringo300 (talk) 14:28, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Racer X live albums 

message: The second sentence in the article is:
“ He is best known for being the co-founder of the band Mr. Big.”
I think this is either outdated or just never was true. As far as I can tell, he was always best known as a guitar instructor (either at GIT or elsewhere but more likely his videos). I don’t see where this claim is backed up by any reference.
