Avis sur le produitIntense Rock 1 & 2 (DVD)

INTENSE ROCK INDEED!!!!!!

This DVD has the best production values of any instructional video I have ever seen. I love the way Paul uses the entire video to tell a story, and entertain as well as instruct.
The only drawback is that Paul assumes that everyone who watches this video knows their scales, and chords. It would have been nice if he could have given the scales, even if it were only a cursory overview. Then the student could interpret them in his, or her own way. This would have opened up a whole world of possibilities.
But, on a whole this DVD kills! The information Paul delivers is very enriching. As for his technique? Forget about it. Paul is just one of the best!

entertaining, but disorganized

Part 1 of this DVD is crammed with standard shred licks...but not much in the way of how, when and where to use them. In that respect, it's one of the more disorganized guitar instructional videos I've seen. Despite Paul's youth and enthusiasm,, the material gets relatively advanced rather quickly (and he can play the licks so fast and perfect, it's just as discouraging as inspirational).

In Part 2, he sporadically mentions things that would be aimed at relative beginners...which definitely doesn't belong on these videos. On the other hand, Example #7 is so much more intricate/difficult than anything else on this disk, it seems out of place. The best thing on the whole disk are the 2-note per string/string skipping arpeggios (wish I woulda started practicing those 10 years ago). There are a couple of other cool licks, but the video ends up a mess of a lot of talking...my mind wandered.

Before attempting to play along, you should already know all the major scale modes and the melodic minor scale. Your alternate picking should already be very controlled/synchronized and you should be experienced with string skipping. It also contains some extreme finger stretches/intervals that a lot of people might never be able to do (a shorter scale neck or extraordinary long fingers will come in handy here).

If you don't already have the skills mentioned above, I highly recommend Don Latarski's "Guitar Theory Basics" and Frank Gambale's "Chopbuilder" be bought first. Sequentially, they'll introduce you to all the basic mode fingerings and get your alternate picking, control and speed somewhat closer to Paul's level.Lire l'avis complet...

The way to shred is here!

I had bought PG's "Get Out Of My Yard" instructional video hoping to get the basics in shred technique. I should have gotten this DVD first. It is filled with what one needs to really master before going any further. I have "unlocked" speed that I didn't think I had just by following PG's excercises especially on hammer on and pull offs.. I suggest that you go to that section first before studying the more difficult alternate picking excercises.

Highly recommended instructional DVD. Very informative, effective, and entertaining, too!Lire l'avis complet...

Great set of DVDs - fun and informative.

This has a lot of useful information for a guitar player, from technique tips and exercises to riff writing and conceptual issues. And PG's sense of humor comes through to keep things interesting.
