Paul Gilbert is back with an insanely sweet, cool, totally unique sounding musical fusion played and recorded at the highest level Behold Electric Guitar.
Making solo records since 1998, being world famous with the band called Mr. Big, having a musical project like Racer X, countless special guest appearance with highly anticipated artist both on records and live, doing guitar instructional videos with invaluable knowledge share, Paul Gilbert is one of the hardest working guys in the music industry, if not the most hard working. His talent is beyond words.
I do believe with his intangible musical talent, techniques and capabilities Paul Gilbert will never get bored surprising us real true music listeners with something totally new and fresh like he did with his latest solo record Behold Electric Guitar again.
On Behold Electric Guitar mixes musical genres and styles like Blues, Rock, Jazz, Fusion, Funky and beyond just as smooth as a bird flies. Mixing up and using the mentioned musical root styles results in a very unique Paul Gilbert feeling, mood with real sweet fulfillment for the true music listener throughout the album.
Overall I do believe he's a magician who happens to play the electric guitar like no other person on this planet. He knows all the tricks, mastered all the scales, can feel an inspiration from anything really that touches, motivates or moves him even just a little bit and turns that tiny, little things to sweet or hard, touching deep inside instrumental music. When touching the wah-wah guitar pedal, that's I guess my favorite special thing about this album, because the way as Paul Gilbert uses it gives another unbelievable new dimension and also layer of flowing with the music deeper, deeper and beyond any other kind of feeling.
Yes, as you already see I happen not to go song by song as usual in my reviews, rather just feel all the energy coming from the record and I feel like I totally united with the universe of music once again. Well, maybe not just the universe of music, but the all the stars, the sweet happiness and sadness throughout this beautiful universe of ours. Thank you Paul Gilbert for this release of greatness for the music listeners again in 2019! 10/10 ---- can we go any higher with points? :)
