Paul Gilbert, 2006, from *Get Out of My Yard*. Solo by *Paul Gilbert*.

The title track of Gilbert's instrumental album, full of his humour and fast picking.

Get Out of My Yard is Paul Gilbert having fun, and the playing reflects his mix of serious chops and playful spirit. The track bounces along on a catchy, almost pop-like theme, then opens up for bursts of his famously fast, clean alternate picking and wide-interval runs. What keeps it from becoming a mere exercise is the sense of humour: cheeky phrasing, sudden stops and melodies that sound like they are grinning. Gilbert has long been a teacher as well as a performer, and the piece shows how technique can serve personality. Listen for the moments where he repeats a short, catchy figure at high speed, turning a technical feat into something you can almost hum along to.
