A huge thank you to Paul Gilbert for taking time away from designing signature guitars and transcribing vocal melodies into beautiful slide guitar riffs to speak to us. Paul let us in on his process of translation, his awesome new Ibanez Fireman guitar, and of course how he got his Spice Girls autographs.
