huge hits...more flops
4 out of 11 songs are bonafied head bopping hits: "lights", "blood", all sparks" and, to a lesser degree, "munich" are so good, they'll be on my favorites list forever. The rest is garbage that I won't listen to twice. Furthermore, the sound quality is truly "indie" (as in less than perfect indie). Borrow both this CD and get "an End has a Start" off their second and you'll have enough songs for a great E.P., but this one alone isn't worth my money.

Still Relevant
Good card, but it basically only has 3.5 GB of VRAM (a opposed to the marked 4 GB). The 3 GB GTX 1060 is supposedly a better card at a similar price, but if you can get the 970 FTW+ model for $200 or less, it's still completely relevant and a great value.

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.
