Any of you guys signed up for his online classes? good? bad? feedback, thanks.

I just want to sign up because he seems like an awesome guy

Do it!

He has been one of my favorite guitarists since his Racer X days. Monster player.

 

[electronpirate]

Great guy.

Some of that Racer X stuff was at truly silly speeds. And Mr Big where Billy would actually mirror some of those stooopid fast runs he did.

In my top 2 for him was the little acoustic solo in 'Just to be with you'. It fit perfectly and was fun to play.

A good friend of mine plays drums for him. Recorded his latest album and recently went on tour. He says he's also a sweetheart.

My buddy and sound engineer did the audio engineering on a bunch of his lesson content.

 

[symphx]

He rules

Phenomenal educator and his stuff with Racer X up until the third Mr big album is untouchable IMO. I'm not the biggest fan of his solo albums or his more modern tones/playing but I do have a massive amount of respect for the fact he's evolved and changed as a player.

That acoustic solo in "To be with you" is a masterpiece too!

"It's hard not to meander..."

I love this guy!

"Be with you"...yeah, Paul explains the solo here:

 

[guitarded]

Paul definitely makes the short list of my all time favorites.

 

[Jimmytwotimes]

He is awesome - I have learned a great deal from him when he used to have his columns in Premier Guitar I think it was ??
Anyway - class act - AND he lives in Portland. I keep hoping to run across him at some point, somewhere...

 

[NightWalker]

awesome player,awesome guy!!

 

[shatteredsquare]

Who here has ever heard of the song "Viking Kong"

An ode d'schizophrenia, a neoclassical metal duet played by one man, he starts with a maple fingerboard and ends with a baked maple fingerboard.

It always killed me that his pinky is like 6 inches long and he could probably play bar chords with his thumb!

 

[plexi59]

My favorite player, and has been for years. Also, his pinky is longer than all my fingers combined. I envy that pinky pretty badly every time I have to play anything above 12th fret on the low E string.
