“I went from wanting to be a Beatle to becoming a 'widdly-widdly' guita...” — Paul Gilbert Quote

“I went from wanting to be a Beatle to becoming a 'widdly-widdly' guitar player.”

“I especially like the songs Hurry Up and The Curse Of Castle Dragon, and I often include them in my live show.”

“I remember walking into a department store and you would hear an instrumental version of a Beatles song and it was usually kinda cheesy and very un-rock. Kenny G, for example, is a musician that I certainly dont want to sound like, but technically he is flawless but somehow the rock and roll aspect has been sucked out of it.”

“I don't like the word 'rock star' or 'super star.' I am a guitar player, a songwriter who got lucky because I stayed at it and didn't give up, long enough that people noticed me.”

“I am, by nature, a guitar player... I learned all of these other instruments around that, and around the theory that I built learning the guitar.”

“Sometimes it's hard for me to just be the guitar player and lose myself.”
