hood interest in playing guitar. Gilbert is also a great fan
of The Beach Boys and The Beatles. He stated on the
Space Ship Live DVD that George Harrison is one of his
favorite guitar players. Guitar World magazine declared
him one of 50 of the worlds fastest guitarists of all time,
along with Buckethead, Eddie Van Halen, and Yngwie
Malmsteen.
Paul Gilbert composes music in a wide variety of styles,
including pop, rock, metal, blues, and funk. However,
Gilbert is perhaps best known for his hand speed and
stylistic versatility. He is noted in particular for his ecient, staccato-like picking technique: playing extremely
complicated passages of music at blindingly fast speeds
without relying on legato to do so (unlike many other guitarists).

Instructor

Paul Gilbert wrote his own section of the British guitar magazine, Total Guitar, where he normally demonstrated guitar techniques in the magazine and accompanying CD. Even before that, he contributed instructional
articles to Guitar Player Magazine in a late 1980s/early
1990s series entitled Terrifying Guitar 101. His period of working with Total Guitar spanned thirty-one issues until the November 2006 issue. Paul also teaches at
the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT) regularly, and
is also an honorary dean of the GIT division in Japan.
Paul visits Japan, enjoying the lifestyle like his Shrapnel
labelmate Marty Friedman, who still lives in Japan and
speaks Japanese uently. Gilbert is known for his instructional videos, which are often comical in nature. One
of his instructional videos includes him pulling a rabbit
out of his guitar, putting his guitar in a straitjacket and
having presents thrown at him by members of the lm
crew. Paul also was, for a short time, the guitar teacher of
Buckethead, Joey Tafolla, Russ Parrish (A.K.A. Satchel
from Steel Panther), Michelle Meldrum (The late wife
of Europe guitarist John Norum) and Nicole Couch of
Phantom Blue. Gilbert now writes a column for Premier
Guitar entitled Shred Your Enthusiasm. In May, 2012
he launched the Online Rock Guitar School with Paul
Gilbert as a part of the ArtistWorks Guitar Campus.

Gilbert playing his signature guitar 2007

many of his guitars (such as his main PGM300) were

modied to accommodate a xed bridge after he stopped
using whammy bars in the early 90s, hence the Ibanez
PGM301 guitar. Along with his signature guitars, Gilbert
often uses his sticker-covered Dino Ibanez RG750, in
addition to a wide variety of Ibanez solidbody and semihollow electric guitars. Recently, Gilbert has been using
Ibanez Fireman (a reversed-body Ibanez Iceman with
single-coil pickups and an extra cutaway) guitars, which
he designed himself.[16] A red version The Ibanez Fireman is to be mass-produced for consumers at a more affordable price than the Ibanez PGMFRM1 (current Paul
Gilbert signature Fireman) in Fall 2011.

Regarding ampliers, Gilbert used A/DA preamps

(A/DA MP-1) and rack eects units early in his career
prior to switching to Laney ampliers. He praised the
Laney amps as having the best natural distorted sound of
any tube amp ever heard Since the G3 2007 tour however, Gilbert stated that playing with Joe Satriani and
John Petrucci inspired him to take a closer look at his
own guitar sound. As a result of his search he found the
Marshall Vintage Modern series. He currently uses the
Marshall Vintage Modern 2266c combo amps. Paul now
uses the Marshall JMD:1 (specically JMD501) ampliIn August 2014, Gilbert participated in the G4 er along with his Vintage Modern amplier. Paul uses

Gear

Paul Gilbert primarily uses his Ibanez PGM signature series guitars,[15] identied by the unique painted
on F-holes. Although earlier PGM models featured
the Ibanez Lo-Pro/Edge double locking tremolo system,

Paul has been known to use the following eects:

Paul also used a modied vintage A/DA Flanger from the
1980s (source: Berlin VIP session interview). You can
hear it on tracks like 'Bucket of Rocks, and he also uses
it on the 'Snowball of Doom' DVD. Paul stated the anger
had been modied. He would set the anger to self oscillate, which would make the pitch of the resulting signal

bomb or a pull up on a whammy bar. Unfortunately, during Pauls 2008 European tour, his original A/DA Flanger
broke. Thankfully, before the pedal broke, he and Ibanez
collaborated to make a similar pedal, with both a regular anger mode and a mode which can be set to create a
close approximation of the A/DA pedals sound, and the
pedal has been released as the Ibanez Paul Gilbert AF-2
Airplane Flanger. He also uses the Psilocybe phaser and
THC chorus pedals from Home Brew Electronics.

8 Personal life
Gilbert currently resides in Los Angeles, California with
his second wife, Emi Gilbert (ne Yamamoto), whom he
married in 2005. [23] Prior to this, Gilbert was married
from between 1993 to 1998 to Patricia Patterson.[24] On
24 August 2014 Gilberts wife Emi gave birth to their son,
Marlon Kanzan Gilbert.[25]
