DVD Reviews of Ultimate Guitar Techniques: Shredding With Arpeggios
DVD Review: Misleading-- not really for beginners
Summary: 3 Stars
word of warning-- this dvd is a bit misleading. it's really for intermediate to advanced players. it's strange because the first 3 or 4 chapters are aimed at beginners but then it jumps immediately into stuff that's fast even for advanced players. I definitely learned a lot from this dvd but I wouldn't advise it for someone just starting out. here are some of the things that weren't included on the dvd:
- no tablature. the teacher wastes so much air time saying what string and fret every single not is-- these are arpeggios so that's a lot of notes! it would have been much more efficient if there was tab and he played the parts at normal tempo, then slow, and with tips for playing clean and fast. instead he plays the riff at normal tempo, then he goes through this long boring process of speaking out every single note. it was much faster for me to just figure out the riff at normal tempo. but tab would have been even easier.
- he discusses really basic theory at a slow pace, as if to a beginner, and then suddenly he's playing arpeggios really fast-- there's no transition! he doesn't even share any tips for playing at that speed, it's up to you to figure out! for example, he doesn't explain sweep picking or when to up or down pick. he also doesn't explain the importance of muting strings when doing arpeggios on barred triads. he doesn't say when to hammer on or pull off, you have to figure it out for yourself. there are numerous little things that he DOESN'T talk about that make all the difference in the world.
- most importantly, he doesn't even mention the correct way to practice! the only way I could play these arpeggios to speed was with a metronome, starting very slow and concentrating on getting the up and down picking sweeps as accurate as possible. it took a long time and a lot of practice but eventually I was able to get up to speed. he never once mentions how to practice with a metronome (which is definitely a skill that will improve your playing more than anything else).
all in all, I felt a little bit cheated by this dvd. I could find some arpeggio sweeps online for free and just practice the tab-- wish I would have saved my money and done that.
