Per Nilsson's Scar Guitar Instructional DVD

[Wings of Obsidian]

After a good long time of waiting for the finished product, it has finally been released...

...and it ARRIVED IN THE MAIL TODAY!

Per Nilsson's instructional DVD! (I haven't gotten any learning resources such as books or DVDs for guitar in years...but this sounds promising, so I had to snag a copy while they are hot! Per does a great job teaching and actually breaking down everything so that the viewer can understand it! Very inspirational!) - Orders began shipping out the week of January 21. And I finally just got my copy today.

Previews and teasers:

his work with Kaipa is very impressive.

 

[MrCthulhu]

The DVD is great. Really captures a side of Per I didn't really know about, he is a great teacher, and he explains everything using a great amount of theory, but never sounds like he's going over your head. A must buy for anyone who is a fan of Per. He is so versatile!

Sick. One of the resons I got a 7 in the first place was scar symmtery and his genious playing. Can't wait to get this!

Got mine a few days ago, but I've been too busy at work to have any serious go at it. Watched the first half hour or so, and it seemed pretty good, even if it was mostly a bunch of scales.

sorry for getting a bit off-topic here:

I only know Scar Symmetry by name, I just checked out some clips on YT, and it sounds awesome!
What album(s) would you guys recommend for me to get?

All of them?

They're all good, but Holographic Universe is probably my favorite.

Received the DVD today and watched it this morning. I was impressed, very well put together.

All of their albums are consistently on par. (They are just one of the those bands, like The Faceless or Necrophagist or even The Contortionist, where you cannot pick or choose just ONE album as a favorite or personal recommendation because all their outings are on the same level with quality, production, songwriting, technicality, melodical elements, etc. I am in no way comparing Scar Symmetry to any of these bands, don't get the wrong idea. I am just making my point of reference...like...ALL NECROPHAGIST ALBUMS ARE AMAZING SO YOU CAN'T RECOMMEND JUST ONE.)

Anywho, good choice, mate. I got all their material.

 

[Ralyks]

If I had to pick one album, Holographic Universe.
But I have to admit, I'm not as familiar with the two-vocalist albums as much as I probably should be...

Holographic Universe and Pitch Black Progress are the ones that are always talked about and favorited.

I think more people like Holographic Universe though.

 

[bushyg]

Man, the DVD is fantastic and contains alot of stuff. Really hope Ivan and the folks get the opportunity to get more artists to make DVD's of this caliber.

 

[fantom]

I'm chime in Holographic Universe followed by Pitch Black Progress as well.

As far guitar parts, I really like the lead work and syncopated rhythms on Symmetric in Design. The vocals aren't as strong and the structure is much simpler. The new albums are good, but losing Christian Alvestam was a huge blow to their popularity.

And are we considering For Aeons Past as a Scar Symmetry album yet? (yes, joke)

 

[dan0151]

[EcoliUVA]
