Guitar Techniques: exclusive soloing masterclass

Abstract

FOR MANY guitar fans, Paul Gilbert is the ultimate rock guitarist. He’s got bucketloads of technique and speed, has great vibrato, plays with a rich overdriven tone and is full of creative curiosity. We’ve seen that over several decades from his work with the US rock band, Mr Big and with his own solo career. It’s that curiosity that has also had him involved with tribute albums and tours focused on Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles, and performing a staggering variety of songs spanning the music of Abba and Stevie Wonder, to Genesis and The Spice Girls.
