Behold! A new album from guitar master PAUL GILBERT
PAUL GILBERT - BEHOLD ELECTRIC GUITAR New album from master guitarist out May 17, 2019 on Music Theories Recordings PRE-ORDER 2LP (LTD.1000) / CD / DIGITAL
Paul Gilbert returns to Music Theories Recordings with Behold Electric Guitar, featuring 12 new original songs. Most songs are instrumental, except for his poem, "A Herd of Turtles", where Paul opted his best Liverpudlian accent to recite his poem of hope, and inserted some ferocious funk riffs for musical contrast in between. The songwriting process on Behold Electric Guitar is interesting, and not what you would expect from a virtuoso shredder like Paul. Paul started most of the songs by writing lyrics first. Then the melody, with the right chords, arrangement and groove is formed. And then the lyrics are translated to a guitar melody, completely tossing out the lyrics. The result is Paul's most expressive and inspired guitar playing to date.
Behold Electric Guitar will be released worldwide on CD, double vinyl and digitally. The vinyl is limited to 1000 copies, and includes a code for a complimentary MP3 download of the album.

"I finally wrote a song with long guitar solos! It took me decades to stretch beyond my pop song structure habits, and it feels great to be FREE, and just play, and play, and play. The song still has melodies and themes, and those were inspired by the idea that when you have something good... You still want MORE. Havin' it... don't make me stop wantin' it!" - Paul
