frannie01 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) I once spent months learning a set of tunes which included Scarified and Jack hammer for Paul Gilbert.I tried to explain to the festival organiser that this was [font=inherit]beyond my pay grade but he seemed to think that I'd be able to cope with the musical onslaught.[/font] [font=inherit]After the initial learning process and a change of several pairs of under pants, the dreaded day arrived, When PG got to the gig he pulled out a set list that looked a bit Saturday night pub band.( I can only assume he thought that he would be working with a local UK rhythm section myself and Pete Riley,and that it might be best to dumb down the gig.[/font] [font=inherit]I was a little dissapointed having spent 4 months learning his tunes and we ( as a rhythm section) kind of coerced him into playing the more difficult pieces) I'm glad we did !! [/font]not sure if he felt the same though ,but one can dream right ?[font=inherit] [/font] [font=inherit](The bass is quite low in the mix but the drums and guitar are quite frankly staggering)[/font] [url="https://soundcloud.com/frannie01/sets/paul-gilbert-igf-2005"]https://soundcloud.c...ilbert-igf-2005[/url] not sure if he felt the same though ,but one can dream right ?

Daz39 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Just looking at Paul's hands makes my ears melt. I can't imagine how scary learning parts for his tunes were. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
