January 29, 2008

Guitarist Paul Gilbert (ex-MR. BIG, RACER X) has issued the following update:

"My brand new guitar instrumental CD is finished! It is entitled 'Silence Followed by A Deafening Roar'. It was released in Japan on January 23rd. 'Silence Followed By A Deafening Roar' will be also be released in the USA and Europe. I'll have release dates soon.

"The musicians on the album are:

Paul Gilbert: Guitar
Mike Szuter: Bass

"If I had to use one word to describe the new album... well, that would be impossible. And actually, so is most of the guitar playing. But above all, my goal was to make the album ROCK so I can have more good tunes to add to my LIVE show."

Video footage of Paul Gilbert's performance at this year's winter NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) show, which was held January 17-20 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California, can be viewed below (courtesy of "zrhero1").

Gilbert composes music in a wide variety of styles including pop, rock, metal, blues, jazz, funk and classical, but is perhaps best known for his versatility and speed, which helped him be named as one of the "Top 10 Shredders Of All Time" by Guitar One magazine. He is also considered to be one of the best proponents of alternate picking, tapping and string skipping.
