Andy Timmons and his band opened the show, followed by a solo set from Gilbert, and finally Racer X.

On June 30, 2010, Gilbert’s new album Fuzz Universe was released in Japan, with a release in America and Europe soon after.[10] It is Paul’s 3rd solo album being entirely instrumental.[10] A cover of Johnny Cash’s “Leave That Junk Alone” is featured as a Japanese bonus track.[10][11]

3 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 world’s 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 efficient, 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 fluently. 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 film 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 modified to accommodate a fixed 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 amplifiers, Gilbert used A/DA preamps (A/DA MP-1) and rack effects units early in his career prior to switching to Laney amplifiers. 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 (specifically JMD501) ampliIn August 2014, Gilbert participated in the G4 fier along with his Vintage Modern amplifier. Paul uses Experience—a week-long guitar camp—with fellow Jim Dunlop Tortex picks, of which he prefers the orange guitarists Joe Satriani, Andy Timmons, and multi- (.60mm) picks.

Gear

Paul Gilbert primarily uses his Ibanez PGM signature series guitars,[15] identified 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 effects: Paul also used a modified 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 flanger had been modified. He would set the flanger to self oscillate, which would make the pitch of the resulting signal

alternate up and down to create a sound similar to a dive bomb or a pull up on a whammy bar. Unfortunately, during Paul’s 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 flanger mode and a mode which can be set to create a close approximation of the A/DA pedal’s 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 (née 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 Gilbert’s wife Emi gave birth to their son, Marlon Kanzan Gilbert.[25]
