One of my favorites too! So many great songs. Green Tinted Sixties Mind is probably my favorite off that album. Almost learned how to play it too!I love this song, this album. Paul Gilbert is so awesome!
Not too many songs give me goose bumps.
Couldn't really get into the album, so I passed. Would've LOVED to have seen them on this tour though (the one from the video), but unfortunately, I hadn't heard of them until very recently.Did you end up seeing them on their US Tour?![]()
Ever seen the movie Singles?So awesome!

I love green tinted 60s mind! I couldn't play it in a million years, but it sounds so cool! Lots of great songs on that album.One of my favorites too! So many great songs. Green Tinted Sixties Mind is probably my favorite off that album. Almost learned how to play it too!
It's harder than it sounds.I love green tinted 60s mind! I couldn't play it in a million years,
Im sure i could play the lick you posted. Maybe ill see if theres a lesson on YouTube. I saw them on that tour, opening for RUSH on their Roll the bones tour. Also one other time about 10 years ago....maybe 12, not sure.It's harder than it sounds.
Can you...
If you can "pull off"
- on high e, 0h2p0 b0?
- on high e, 0h5h7h12p7p5h17
those two maneuvers, you could most likely learn it. You have to take it in sections, commit them to memory (so you can look at what you're doing), and build up a callous on your tapping finger for the slide! Lol
I'm working on it right now, and the hardest thing for me, since it's played on 3 different strings, is stopping the strings from continuing to ring when you change to a different string.
That's a trick I never used to pay any attention to, but since I am so in love with higher gain tones (even if it's used just to get that "creamy tone", (as opposed to a ton of distortion), it's something I work on constantly.
But it's actually simple: We do things with more than 1 finger all the time. I just have to use that same thought process, and find a free finger, and lightly touch it to whatever string I need to stop ringing, at the exact same time I hit the next note. It's just not something my brain is used to. I have to treat it likes it's just another note that needs to be played. Just very lightly.
Like in that first lick above, I touch the high e at the same time I pick the open B.
