I dont think this particular solo is a good representation of that -- he was kind of just noodling around pentatonic licks. Not something a shredder would do, but not very melodic either.

Man this was a totally different John Petrucci. I still love John Petrucci but I sometimes wish he comes back to more of his fusion based stuff :) so many memories!

I always wondered why he dropped Ibanez for Music Man guitars. His Picasso Ibanez has to be among the coolest looking guitars I've seen in ages. I'll bet the action is buttery-smooth on that axe.

I heard music man guitars are really good, but still in relation to Petrucci's tone and style, I prefer the Ibanez era.. or maybe if he didn't build that huge muscle mass, his playing style would still be the same as before.. just my opinion..

Music man sucks. You're out of your mind. I wouldn't pay more than 700 bucks for any of their garbage. Look at all the players who use them now: EVH, petrucci, Vinnie Moore... They all sound mediocre compared to the superheroes they sounded like with their original axes. And the Ibanez were always the best. Vai, skolnick, petrucci, Moore, Satch, Paul Gilbert??? Do I really have to go on???

Dude, this video lesson taught me so much guitar. What is particularly cool about it is the fact that Petrucci was really trying to teach cool and practical things about guitar playing and not just showing off how hard his solos were and how well he could play them. It is like watching a lesson from a master, who brings himself to other people's level in order to truly teach something.

his tone is sooo amazing here

Love his tone here ! 🖤🎶🖤

Petrucci in Ibanez was way better than the present petrucci in Musicman. Ibanez petrucci was very Epic

Best tone EVER...!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is still one of my fave videos

i love how the sound trails off when he flicks into the next pickup position. it works on almost any guitar and sounds cool

Early Petrucci Is the Best of all of them.

He looks so happy in the beginning. :)

What a genius, absolute guitar God.

This was after Images and Words(which had Under A Glass Moon on it) around 94 when Awake come out so really, he already had the lick written for lets say, 2 years before he played that solo there. Just some trivia for ya ;) I could be wrong with the exact dates but for the main part, this Instructional Video was recorded after he had recorded Under A Glass Moon.

when Petrucci plays, he just makes every guitar look small no matter how many frets it has...God bless him :)

So fluid.. He's great..

wish he'd take some of this and put it in the new solo album. i'd also love to hear gemini recorded properly

deltafit I agree with others it is more a mind over matter thing. The size of your hands is a very small portion of playing. It only matters with things like figuring out what radius feel more comfortable to you and so forth. For example I have short fingers for my size. This makes it easier for me to play 11 to 14 radius necks because they are almost flat and I don't have to reach over a radius to grab a note. Ibanez wizard necks are awesome to me. I got a fender, peavy, dean and schecter. The one I am more comfortable playing is the schecter simply because the radius is just right on it. Don't worry you'll get it and those fingers will be flying over the fingerboard soon enough. Just practice practice practice. Good luck dude.

Awesome!

his guitar look freaking awesome!

This is the real Petrucci! The gifted one who still played with soul and feeling. Now He's just a cold shred machine.....

Rock Discipline was a very helpful DVD for me. It's kind of antithetical because he doesn't explain scales or gets too involved in theory, he simply goes over right hand and left hand technique and provides you with knowledge of how to improve your "chops" but not necessarily how to play melodic guitar solos.

Wow... amazing.

Milky chocolate tone with melodic cool licks master petrucci

What the title of backing track?

As a response to porpoisefathom (since I can't respond to him because KZread sucks donkey balls now), you have no clue what you're talking about. Petrucci uses a number of linear patterns, but is far from up and down. I mean, just listen to the Under a Glass Moon solo. lots of switching between modes in very subtle and clever ways, not to mention some chromatics, and it's very anti-linear. As for Govan, I'm absolutely stunned. There so many examples of him ending on places other than the tonic I don't even know where to begin. He also frequently uses odder patterns and skips degrees within the patterns (and when I mean frequently, I mean A LOT) so to say that he is linear just blows my mind. Govan is one of the least generic and least linear guitar players in HISTORY. Porpoisefathom is a really good example of unfathomable stupidity.

i love the color of those pickups

John Petrucci ... my guitar hero!

Is this an actual song or just improvisation? Sounds awesome!

I agree. The Petrucci's Musicman guitars are amazing, especially the bluish one that shines about fifty different colors, but I like the Ibanez sound alot better.

I just listened to it and i liked it. thanks for telling me.

Amazing!!!!😍😍

The way he plays here will always be better than blurring out notes at high speeds. That is-if that is all someone does.

When he was little, all the bullies at school I insulted, because it was clumsy, overweight, and could be inattentive in class, then she decided not to leave the house more, and so he took a guitar to pass the time, and focused only about her, 24 hours a day, and so was born Petrucci

what a phrasing. incredible. long life to the king JP
