@@larrywhitted7333 That is the worst statement ever, actually what makes Petrucci so amazing is that MOST people who are at the top get arrogant and cocky, the few who remain humble are those we applaud and this is why they feel special, otherwise people wouldn't be so amazed when they see how down to earth he is.

Incredible content. Every single one of these guitar tips is a trademark of John's work in Dream Theater, tracing back to the early beginnings. For example in Images & Words: 1- Alex Lifeson Chord = Metropolis Pt 1 solo break 2- Fifth Below the Root Power Chord = Pull me Under main riff 3- Chord Intervals = Metropolis Pt 1 main riff 4- Vibrato = Under a Glass Moon intro 5- Flat Fifths = Under a Glass Moon solo

It makes me so happy to see that the Alex Lifeson Chord is so influential among musicians such as JP

I knew exactly what chord Mr. Petrucci was going to play before his fingers touched the neck: that F# bar chord with the open B and E strings. (0:56) I remember having the same discovery of that very chord from the Hemispheres song book. It opened up this whole new world of playing chords with open strings ringing. (same technique is employed heavily on 'The Spirit of Radio') Amazing chord from a great album by Alex, Geddy and Neil. May Mr. Peart rest in peace.

Saw him live recently. Never seen anybody play so perfect. Legend

I wish I had a teacher like John. Super cool of him to do this video.

Guitar god, seems like such a great guy. Who wouldn't love lessons from him he's so patient in his explanations.

I learned to play by slowing vinyl records,& likewise adjusting the pitch. New & young players, yes, even knowledgeable players, invest in a variable pitch turntable,& some vinyl. This is a wonderful way to both learn,& play along! Thanks, I was returned too my youth by this video.

He is like a God of Guitar literally.

14:48 thats child in time material!!! always enjoy JP teaching stuff

Amazing how he can still remember his early days after decades of mastering the instrument

Thanks for uploading these vids. As others have said, it’s inspiring to listen from the masters themselves and more so realizing they’re great persons. Cheers

Great lesson! These chords and licks blew me away!

I listened to Dream Theater a while before I really listened to Rush and the ‘Alex Lifeson Chord’ is implanted into my head as the chord that is played in the riff before Myung’s bass solo and Petrucci’s solo on Metropolis: Part 1

Wow he Is so good and calm guy. I started liking him after the g3 live in tokyo

the way he talks.. the way he explain things.. is EXACTLY the same as his instructional video way back years and years ago when I am starting to learn more from guitars.. hehehe.

The "Alex Lifeson Chord" also appears in Eddie van halen's stuff...

Awesome!! John Petrucci is a guitarrist impressive!! I am big fan!!!!

I love all the references. Great job.

Oh, god, the TONE. AMAZING tone.

This was awesome....I so love the look and feel of the majesty he's playing Cool tips I like his manner of explaining how to

At 6:15 did someone else knelt? wasn't just me right?

That's a monster tone!

Thank you Mister Petrucci. Thats Great!

When Petrucci played the "Alex Lifeson chord", the song that came to me was first big chord on Far Cry, off of Snakes and Arrows. A bit forgotten as a Rush song, but a masterclass of the Lifeson style.

Incredible.

All great basic tips to put in your repertoire. I learned the fifth trick from mustaine lesson long time ago def adds meat to rhythm tracks. Anyone else miss the Ibanez guitar tho?

6:17 can't wait to go home and try that move!

I really like all of your creativity

A Great and Yet Humble Guy. Ace Frehley use to practice the same licks over and over all day and he learned how to bend and create cool licks and riffing just by practicing it over and over again. It works for me too. I'm getting my sound and feel too by doing it over and over religiously. Simply easy bends etc... A craft if you will. It all comes from the way you palm mute, rake, etc. I'm establishing my own sound now. Practice, practice, practice.

Man...that amp sounds f'n amazing.

for progressive genre guitar God every thing he play the timing seems right which is incredible

That first chord can also be found in villa lobos prelude 2 for classical guitar, he also moves it around there. It should be called the villa lobos chord

LOL Of course he mentions Alex Lifeson. Gotta love it. :D

0:19 “Soo the first thing that comes to min-or” lol 😂

If he will continue, I know He can make it to the top and earn money to buy new jeans.

The hawks that are the individual notes, swirling around him at the mountaintop, would be easier to discern if he backed off the gain quite a bit. But still awesome.

Oh yes...its so easy...thank you

Superb :)) keep it :)

The chord of life(son). Nice.

you have way too many Majesty's , probably should go ahead and send me one your Majesty

14:48 is actually found that same way in The Necromancer from Caress of Steel

Something to work on ...loving how basic . Thanks man...**** INSPIRED ******

His look is awesome

It's nice to see how even a player of his skill level isn't perfect, showing that he is only human haha. As an aspiring guitarist and musician myself it makes me have hope of becoming as good as him someday

John Petrucci : *choke the bridge* His guitar : "harder daddy"

John Petrucci was influenced by exactly the same great music I was influenced by when I started learning guitar in the early 1980s. I totally relate to him about the discovery of the "Alex Lifeson chord"! It's a chord that I still always love playing after all these years. I'm a huge Rush fan, as well as a fan of Iron Maiden, Queensryche, Dixie Dregs, and amazing guitar players like Allan Holdsworth, Yngwie Malmsteen, Vinnie Moore, Gary Moore, Frank Gambale, etc. Now, if I could just start wood-shedding so that I can get up to a level of playing that's even remotely close to John Petrucci's incredible playing. :-p

I don't know about you but I'm getting an extra dose of JP and Music Man content these days!? I'm a happy guuuuy! \m/ :D \m/

lmfao the older john gets, the more he sounds like jordan

The fact that John is self-taught I believe makes all the more difference when he is teaching stuff... He tries to show things the way he found out or stumbled upon them with practice and it makes it seem easier for beginners

So called "Alex Lifeson Chord" has been used in guitar pieces long long before this. I first encountered in in a piece by Hector Villa Lobos, and yeah its sounds really cool

Forever wishing I could grow a majestic beard like his

Interesting how big of an influence Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson has on Petrucci! Never knew that before and learning the Lifeson chord.

Vibrato was a big deal for me also, I remember my moms console record player in the 70s had a 78, 45, 33 and a 16 rpm that worked out almost an octave down so I would tune my sg down a whole octave to learn the faster stuff. but regarding vibrato,, listening to records that slow confused me into thinking that some solos were bending down first (this is before Floyd’s and kahlers) so I would ghost bend and change pitch from high to low but that error helped me develop a style that was different from anyone I played with, some cool shit comes from trial and error so in a way I feel bad for this note for note tab and video lesson generation that never used the broken bathtub faucet drip as a metronome also great acoustics in the bathroom, lol

Just because of JP I subscribe this channel.

at 11:32 when he said , vibrato is like fingerprint , i just tought of yngwie .. few seconds later he said his name ! yngwie's vibrato is gorgeously amazing !

always keeping it simple.....

This dude has good taste

I could be blown away too, If only I can discern some'

So what got me started was I heard this song by band back in the 70s called Deep Pupil or something like that. They did a song called Stroked on your Daughter and I knew I wanted to play guitar. 👍

The Root Power Chord is one of my favorites because it makes the guitar sound really heavy. Fun Fact: Kirk Windstein of Crowbar uses that a lot.
