Paul Gilbert Visits the Six String Shed
Check out Hal Rodriguez ’ s guitar blog , the Six String Shed , at www . canadianmusician . com / blogcentral . Previous guests on Hal ’ s blog include Andy Timmons , Billy Sheehan , and Marty Friedman , though most recently , he had the chance to speak with guitarist Paul Gilbert ( Mr . Big , Racer X ) about his latest album , I Can Destroy . Here ’ s a snippet , but check out Blog Central for more .
CM : The track , “ Gonna Make You Love Me ” is a real feel-good ‘ 70s rock tune with a I-IV-V blues chord progression . How do you take classic chord progressions and make them interesting ?

PG : One of the first things that comes to mind is if you take a chord and you make it last longer or shorter than the listener expects . For example , in “ Revolution ” by The Beatles , which is also I-IV-V , the first chord changes to the next chord at an unexpected beat and it wakes up the listener . It poses a question to the listener and then the band resolves it . The same thing happens in “ Gimme Shelter ” by The Rolling Stones . They stay on that C # chord for a long time and build up a lot of tension . That might seem like such a simple thing to do , to stay on one chord , but they ’ re masters of playing with the expectations of the listener . When they finally do change chords , a release happens that ’ s extremely powerful . So how long you stay on a chord or using a pause can be amazing tools for making standard chord progressions cool .
