Guitar Noize - guitar news, crazy guitar designs and cool guitar videos

This DVD slipped under my radar for a while before I noticed it one day on Amazon.com and promptly ordered a copy, I had previously bought and reviewed “Get Out Of My Yard” DVD and also owned his Intense Rock II on VHS many moons ago so I knew what to expect and knew it was going to be worth the money. Thankfully Paul has reverted to his bizarre recording style of using blue screen backgrounds which bleed into the reflections on the guitars and look very cheap and silly, much like the Intense Rock videos, the last DVD was far too serious. The musical interludes are pretty cool with Paul jamming on his 70’s Ibanez accompanied by his wife on hammond and the instruction is clear and concise as ever, oh and he has a whopping great white Randy Rhoads Marshall Stack with another Marshall head on top, not sure what that one is? anyone? Bueller?

Anyway the DVD is broken down song by song from the album “Silence Followed By A Deafening Roar” and small sections which Paul has obviously selected to cover as many different techniques as possible are discussed in detail and thankfully tabbed! Yes the tab is included on the DVD which is great and as a bonus the final section of the DVD is the Shred Annex which includes crazy licks in different keys to build up your shred vocabulary. If you are a fan of Paul Gilbert or you just want to learn some cool alternate picking, string skipped arpeggios or tapping then this is a great, fun video which inspires you to pick up your guitar immediately!
