Its just insane how good this guy is.

Yeah, Marco is a good drummer, plays some tricky multiple polyrhythms in some projects. I wish the guitar player in the video would be able to play some of that stuff.

[dvscool]

Yeah, this is a great tune. Paul is such a great player. He can shred like a motha but also has great feel. One of the best ever.

[Codex]

Yup, love this video. Here's the whole session

[j2379]

the scary part is when they've asked him about other shredders and he's like oh yeah but he'd play it more like this, and rips off this crazy lick in someone elses style.

[Hellbat]

He's playing Jazz standards now...

[javert]

Yeah, Paul is amazing. Can't believe I didn't know about him until a few years ago (although Endrik seems to think he should work on his rhythm skills). I find somebody like Satriani boring by comparison. It also doesn't hurt that he seems to be a super nice guy with a great sense of humor.

[P I K A]

Hes a great teacher and seems like a nice guy. Ive been listening to him for decades. Heres anotherpiece you might enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeX8kD9ybFs

A great guy (I've met him) and a great talent; I can't help but wonder how much easier it is for him because of those freakishly long pinkies!

The guy is a God on the fret board! Not only does he have speed and feel but his note selection is amazing as well. Also what Racer X said is absolutely true. I have met Paul on several occasions and he does have freakish hands. When he shook my hand his hand basically engulfed mine. I could barely see anything but my thumb.
