I just got this dvd a few weeks back and I can already feel a noticable improvement in my technique. In the first section, he goes over picking, 3-note per string scales, chromatic and harmonic minor licks, hammer - ons and pull - offs and different arpeggio techniques, including sweep picking and string skipping. In the second section, he gives more practical applications of the techniques and offers insight on how to improve phrasing and how to practice soloing. Paul is a great teacher and he will keep you interested both with his playing and his sense of humor.
THE best dvd for learning how to shred August 23, 2007

I actually bought this video (vol 1) when I was 11 or 12 when it first came out with my allowance that I saved up. As a guitar teacher and someone with 20 plus years playing experience, I can say that this is the best video on shred guitar technique. Volume 1 alone is well worth the price. My only issue(a VERY minor one) is that he doesn't talk about the metronome and its usage. But any good teacher can explane that in about 2 minutes.
Volume 2 while not quite as shred heavy is still a great dvd to have(and just as important content). It concetrates more on phrasing, dynamics, rythmic ways of building phrases, etc. Don't worry, there is still plenty of shredding as well.
These volumes are the best investments I ever made as a guitar player,teacher and student. Anyone who wants to learn how to shred, get this dvd package, and a book on music theory(or instruction by a teacher) and a good chord book and you'll have everything you ever need.
Keep in mind, no matter what, you still have to practice(alot!!!!). No book, Dvd, or anything is going to MAKE you play well. If you are a beginner(or even advanced), you still have to work hard. However, this is a big help.
Essential!!!! March 10, 2007

I own every Paul Gilbert video that I am aware of. These two volumes have dramatically improved my technique, speed, phrasing, picking, etc. Paul is an amazing teacher. He explains everything in depth so that even the novice guitarist will understand most everything covered. I own many other videos including Yngwie, Vinnie Moore, Richie Kotzen etc. None of the other videos can compete with the Paul Gilbert videos. I often watch Intense rock 1 and 2 as refresher courses or just for plain entertainment. If shred is your game, then look no further. Learn from the best!

Paul Gilbert got my attention in a tiny article from Guitar World, maybe Guitar Player, back in I'd say 87? maybe even earlier. he had just won a guitar gun slinger contest in the LA area and was heaed to GIT. ayway, I kept an eye out for him along the way, and sho nuff, he is a technical monster. he may not send quite the emotional chills of say, I don't know, Eddie Van Halen (78-84 that is)? but the cat definitely sings some soul with his axe too, don't get me wrong. I'd say, get his chops down, maybe some DiMeola master's level stuff too if you are into fast, clean, alternate picking as I try to be, then fuse your own soul with it--put some Clapton, SRV, Jimi, and Eddie in there--don't forget to bend it and shake it! you may come out with some really fresh, really good stylistic new frontiers--At least, that's what I'm after. just don't forget to make it YOUR OWN! balance in all things. this video is all you need to get started on the Gilbert part of this equation. its full, complete, and well done. His work with Mr Big is seriously good too, if a litte poppy, particularly their first two (I never got to hear too much of the later work. enjoy, work the technque down to perfection, cleanly and slowly, then rip it up full speed when you're ready. keep this vital part of intense rock alive and then, lift your goblets of rock!
a must have!!!!!!! June 30, 2007

I've worn out this video over the years cause I got it on VHS,now its on DVD! My few comments on Paul Gilbert is that through his playing,he show's alot of discipline and passion on the way he play's. but most of all, he's passionate about music thats why he got to the level of where he's at. I've meet him couple of times at a NAMM show and it was like talking to the next door neighbor. no rocks star attitude just plain Paul Gilbert DOWN TO EARTH...If your like me who's alway's practicing to get better all the time and to learn more, GET THIS DVD and apply the skills you learn from Paul in a band situation when its called for. I happen to be fortunate that growin up in the 80's doing this stuff called shred playing was the NORM back then, so I caught up to this GIT style real quick and for the most part,this was the ticket to be in a band back then.
if you've never done this kinda stuff then be prepared for some seriouse learning curve adjustments. Dont give up keep up on practicing and discipline,some things dont come easy but when you get there, its personaly an awesome accomplishment,convidence builder. but most of all one's you can master 2 or 3 of Paul's licks it comes easier cause it builds on top of each other. happy picking and have some good laughter on Paul's humor...
