What is the Paul Gilbert lick NOT teaching you?!? Paul introduced us to his favorite alternate picking lick back on his OG Hot Licks video, and he has since disavowed it as being the be all end all alternate picking workout. It's a great outside picking exercise, but there's a lot it DOESN'T show us if you want to become an alternate picking PRO!
In this video, I'm going to show you variations on the PG lick that will get you inside picking, outside picking, and crushing the game while learning the fretboard MORE BETTER! It's a smashing little etude that's gonna turn you into SHREDDY KREUGER!

You dont need some fancy 7 billion dollar course to have fun with the instrument OR learn theory. Just play the damn thing and you'll get better, its not rocket science nor worth more money than you paid for the gear.

    Sounds great bro! Regarding the tapping run, he actually ends on an F note (A str, 8th fret), not a C. Goto 3:10 in this recording and you'll hear it. The notes go as far down as the low E string then back to the A string to resolve at the 8th fret. ua-cam.com/video/ok3R7Aj9eI4/v-deo.htmlsi=CXa6TNwWEy8RI4n1 Also, the high E and B string notes do indeed start with 15th fret taps as you mentioned. For the remaining strings he begins with hammer ons/pull offs, THEN taps. Like this: B string: ...tap 15, 13 12 10 G string: hammer on 11, 9 10 12, tap 14, 12 10 9 D string: hammer on 12, tap 14, 9 10 12, tap 14, 12 10 9 A string: hammer on 12 E string: hammer on 7, 8 10 A string: hammer on 7, 8 10 12, tap 14, 12 10 8 I know lol it's a lot harder this way and honestly if you run thru it fast enough w/o the hammer ons it'll still sound good but I'm quite sure this is how he does it on the album.

You have them down, and you nailed a subtlety most miss when chasing this tone. Flanger, but subtle flanger, just enough to make those high bends sing. Not EVH flanger! And yes, I have small hands and cheat on the big stretches; it helped my string skipping though. lol ✌❤🤘

    Hi, Uncle Ben! The Paul Gilbert lick has troubled me with pickslanting for a very long time (i.e., changing the pick angle when hitting a new string for a one single note, and then coming back to the previous string, like at 5:47). Can you elaborate on how best to practice this with pickslanting? Are you changing the pick angle at all when hitting the new string for a single note, and then coming back to the previous?
