Paul talks to us about technique, practice regimen, recording and orchestration, his influences and his recent tour with Joe Satriani and John Petrucci. I know he’s just being polite, but every nuance of that phrase is singed into my brain. That was great!” are his exact words when it’s over. Paul picks up his hollow body Ibanez (which I find out later he got off eBay!) and starts us off in a simple groove in the key of A. Soon an amplifier is set up and the six of us sit in a semicircle around Paul, about to experience the most exhilarating, harrowing and unforgettable jam of our lives.

Paul’s going to be a little late as he has gone out for Chinese food. I wait in freezing cold for 45 minutes before meeting the other VIPs all of whom have far more intimidating guitars than I do. November 14, Astoria 2, London: The VIP ticket says the lesson begins at three, so I’m there at two. None of my years of dreaming of catching Paul Gilbert live prepared me for what actually happened. The day that revelation dawned on me was the day I started worshipping Paul Gilbert.Īll of us have fantasies about meeting our heroes. When I discovered Racer X as a natural progression through the world of metal, I had no idea that the guitarist, Paul Gilbert was the same guitarist as in Mr Big. Many years later, as a teenager, in the traditional rite of passage as a student in Bengaluru, I was introduced to the world of heavy metal through Iron Maiden and I have not looked back since. At the age of four, I used to glue myself to the television screen every time the video for ”˜To Be With You’ was on. Mr Big was the first rock band I ever knew.
