Paul Gilbert: Intense Rock, Vol. 1 and 2

Gilbert is a master player and instructor - and I think we all know that those two things don't necessarily go together. His technique on this DVD is jaw dropping. I really don't think it would be possible to alternate pick faster with the clarity Mr. Gilbert brings to the instrument. Paul seems to have both sides of his brain fully developed - the artistic left side that rocks out with gut searing intensity and emotion, and the geeky analytical right side that can perfectly explain and break down why it all works. I own literally thousands of guitar instructional materials that I've purchased over the last thirty years, and can honestly say that this DVD ranks in the top three. If you are at all interested in shred guitar, you simply have to buy this. Many of us paid $40 or more per VHS tape for the original videos (parts I and II), so this DVD is an amazing bargain at this price. Thanks, Paul!

This was produced going on 20 years ago, (the 1st half anyway) but is still relevant today. After the post-grunge backlash of the early to mid 90's it is good to see this style of playing coming back. Paul is an unassuming character whose delivery & instruction of his style & technique is very helpful & down to earth. The 1st half of the DVD was done in his early Racer X days & really reflects the licks from that era, as the 2nd half naturally exposes the Mr. Big pop oriented offerings. This DVD will either inspire you to attempt to reach his level of technique, or really discourage you. But again, I believe his good nature will inspire most. I was able to meet Mr. Gilbert at a clinic shortly after "To be with you" was a hit for Mr. Big years ago & he was still really down to Earth. A whole new generation have the opportunity to learn from him & really should make this DVD part of their library. Just do your best to ignore the 80's-90's "production" :) Also the addition of the .PDF files for Vol. 2 is a nice touch!

Kick ass dvd. He's supercool and fun to learn with

I've been playing guitar for years and years. Have many books, CD's, etc. This is my first on "shred" techniques... holy cow! It's like I'm back to square one.. but that's good.. basic techniques are well presented in logical format. I was able to move through some of this fairly quickly, in theory, but still working on speed speed speed! Wish there was TAB for Vol.1, but I found that online. Vol.2 tab is included in PDF on disk. Would be nice if there was something to paly along with, it's presented and you're off on your own to practice. All that said, it's a good bang for the buck... plenty of good techniques and lessons to work on for a long long time.

Probably because I'm at the beginner/intermediate level, this is taking a long time to digest. I've spent the last month just working on the very first and second exercise in disc 1. So it might take me the rest of my life to get through this, if it's even going to be time enough! I'm not complaining though, this is a great value and I think the content is amazing!

This somewhat dated vid is must view for serious rock guitarists. Paul Gilbert is a guitar god (still) and these tips/tricks exercises are a great starting point for future Shredi Knights and Shreddie Van Halens.Tabs are easy to find online for all the exercises.

If you want to rock on guitar, if you want to shred this is the guy you want to learn from. He will teach how to take scales and play the most awesome licks, runs and riffs and it`s not as hard as you think. When it comes to shred(playing awesome licks and runs really fast) I can`t think of anybody better to recommended than Paul Gilbert. Just do the exercises that he shows you and be patient and before you know it you will be the baddest guitar player in the neighborhood and maybe city and state. Paul will give you the tools but it`s up to you to put in the time and practice. Jesus is your answer and God bless you :)

I have been playing forms of rock/metal for a few years, but never really tried my hand at leads so I figured I would give this vid a shot. I watched the video through a few times and obviously Paul is very good at what he teaches, but I got left in the dust right off the bat. I eventually decided to focus on some of the easier patterns, memorize them and run though them everytime i pick up my guitar. I am a lot faster now than before I started, but still nothing close to paul---even on the simple ones. I would say this video is more for someone that can already play fairly fast and is either looking for more licks or wants to play faster. Don't get me wrong it is a good vid, i just wish I were more up to speed when i bought it.

non ho ricevuto (ancora) l'articolo ma il venditore mi ha di sua sponte restituito tutto celermente. Nulla da dire, cinque stelle meritate.

Estos vídeos de Paul son muy buenos para quien quiere mejorar su técnica, humor y material de primera clase.

Informations-reich und dazu unterhaltsam . Tabulatur auf dem Schirm oder als PDF. Niveau - Mittelstufe bis fortgeschritten . Gute Preis-Leistung.

One of the best players to come out of the late 80s and 90s, if it's fast controlled playing you want then this two in one DVD will give you what is needed. Seems to be a natural teacher.

ヴァン・ヘイレンがライブで弾くようなカッコいい速弾きフレーズを、少しずつ、丁寧にゆっくりとしたペースで教えてくれます。今更言うまでもないことですが、ポールギルバートはピッキングが物凄く上手い！他の方も述べていますがTAB譜も下の画面に出ます。そのため自分で実際に練習してみる時にとても便利です。import版ですがら、音声は当然すべて英語です。とは言え、ギターの演奏に関してですから、ある程度聞き取りが出来れば（guitarとかpickingとかstringとかが分かれば）意味を類推することで、そこそこは理解できると思います。良いところとしては、フレーズを細かく区切って、遅いスピードから教えてくれるところ。手元を（右手）大きく映してくれるところも良い。ピックの持ち方や、腕の振り、手首はどう動いているのかが分かるので練習する際に、とても参考になります。とても良いギター教則dvdでお薦めです。自分の購入した市販の教則dvdの中ではベストなものと言えると思います。（余談ですが、彼はやっぱり髪が長い方がカッコいいですね！。）
