I like the guitars but I haven't watched the video
This guy is indeed awesome. I've subscribed a few months ago and I've always enjoyed his videos.

True, I didn't remember that your keyboardist is a girl.
Awesome! Great purchase you made there! I tried it once and I really liked the neck and how it played. You're going to enjoy it. To solve the neck diving thing you could just put a bit of weight on the electrics cavity.

The Paul Gilbert clinic was AMAZING! He did covers of Muddy Waters, Johnny Cash, and Robin Trower to name a few. And apparently he thinks the "best song on earth" is Light My Fire by the Doors, which is the song he ended with. So after he played songs, with some dialogue and advice in between in each one, he let us raise our hands to ask questions. I was lucky enough to ask one also 
I asked him what the best exercise is for memorizing the fretboard in terms of staying in key when you're improvising. He said that you should print out some guitar grid paper and write down the shapes of things, like the Dmaj. chord shape for example. And also know your tonal chords...which he told me to ask my guitar teacher about, but I didn't wanna tell him I don't have a teacher Anyway, he wasn't very thorough in his answer cuz the manager of the store was telling him to hurry up and just pick one more question. What I hate tho, is that some of the questions were just a complete waste of time. For example, the first guy who he called on asked, "What are some good exercises for string skipping?" I mean, are you serious!? You can look this shit up on youtube and on countless guitar sites online. What a waste of time, cuz poor Paul actually went on for a long time answering this guy's question. And thn another douche asked, "what amp are you playing through" and another one was "what's on your pedal board"? I mean, honestly, all these can be answered by searching on line. Like why not ask him something that involves his opinion and advice and isn't already out there on the net.
Here are some pics of him on stage and playing:
And the most awesome part was that when I walked up to him, he said I asked a great question (and I guess it was compared to what most other people asked). But I told him I've already done what he suggest, and we started talking about modes and scales. Then one of the security ladies was getting annoyed cuz he was talking to me for so long, hahaha. anyway, we weren't allowed to pose with him for a picture, so my friend just took a couple of pics while I was talking to Paul. Here's one:
I didn't want to take up too much of his time tho, so I told him "thank you so much for doing what you do. I really appreciate it." He smiled and said, "you're welcome, and thank you". Very polite guy, so modest. Oh and I think I'm gonna be in his documentary or something cuz some guy was going around and filming the fans, and then he came up to me and said he wanted to get the view of the other gender so he kind of interviewed me with a bright camera light shining in my face and he was asking me questions like how I got into PG's music and why I like him and all that. We'll see what happens with that tho.
Sorry for the rant. It was an amazing night. After Paul left the stage, this guy helped me get this Ibanez banner off of the stage while we were waiting in line for the signing. I had to roll it up really quick tho so none of the Guitar Center people saw I took it, lol.
Above it, you can see the little poster thing that Paul signed for everyone.
p.s. me an my friend got a tonne of footage. I'll post it up on jootube sometime soon.

Awesome Twisha! Glad that you had so much fun and enjoyed PG. Also, it'd be cool if you get on Paul's DVD, that'd make two known faces on it
