    About Paul Gilbert


    Rock Guitarist Paul Gilbert began playing by ear at 9 years old and spent his teenage years playing in bars around Pittsburgh, PA. At 17, Paul moved to Hollywood to attend the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT.) At 18, he was hired as GIT's youngest instructor. At the same time, Paul released the first album with his band RACER X, which became one of the top-selling acts in the L.A. club scene. In 1988, Paul joined forces with bassist Billy Sheehan to form MR. BIG. The band went on to have #1 chart success with their single, "To Be With You," and sell out multiple nights at Japan's Budokan arena. Paul's "Intense Rock" series of instructional videos became legendary for their clarity, humor, and jaw-dropping technique. Paul has also recorded over 20 albums as a solo artist, performed on Joe Satriani's G3 tour, is a long-time endorser of Ibanez guitars, and hosts The Great Guitar Escape camp. Through his ArtistWorks course, Paul breaks down all his iconic playing techniques and practice drills with the enthusiasm and approachability he's known for.
