Guitar Master On 180g Double LP!

Legendary guitar hero Paul Gilbert returns with his 2019 release, "Behold Electric Guitar" on 180g Vinyl Double LP. Featuring 12 new original tracks, this record is Gilbert’s most expressive and inspired guitar playing to date.

For this album, Gilbert enlisted the help of legendary producer and engineer, John Cuniberti (Joe Satriani, Sammy Hagar, Aerosmith, Train), as Gilbert was primarily interested in John’s expertise with "one mic" recording. Gilbert expounds, "it’s so easy to make albums with overdubbing and editing these days, but I really prefer playing live and just getting the music to sound right." After hearing Gilbert’s band, John agreed that the music worked best as a live performance. "There is not one overdub on the record," clarifies Cuniberti. "Everything you hear is four guys jamming, listening to each other, and making room for each other’s sound."

Talking about the songwriting process, Gilbert explains, "I began most of the songs by writing lyrics. This gave me a rhythmic and melodic puzzle to solve. I have a really good time working out the melody with the right chords, arrangement, and groove. It’s such a joy to have these limitations removed, and to have the freedom to write melodies as if my voice could make any athletic leap."

Guitar fans will notice that Gilbert’s harmonic vocabulary has expanded considerably on 'Behold Electric Guitar'. "I’ve been studying other genres like blues and jazz for years now," says Gilbert. "I’ve incorporated those influences on the new album. There are so many interesting sounds here."

Paul Gilbert was voted fourth-best on GuitarOne magazine's Top 10 Greatest Guitar Shredders of All Time.
