He’s correct, but It’ll definitely make you look better when playing hahahaha. It could make you play better aswell, I find that my playing hits it’s peak when I’m most comfortable and that depends on all of the guitars specs, contours and shape. A guitar like this with a thin non gloss neck and low action would definitely suit my needs and would allow me to play more quick and accurate. I find that guitars that aren’t gloss allow you to slide around and move your arms and hands more freely instead of having friction which slows you down. Of course the tone would also be amazing and it’s the same guitar he uses so it’s at least a step closer to playing like him.

I feel this is mostly off topic from your intention, but I've always kind of made a joke to myself along those lines as observed from their live DVDs. His change from Ibanez to Music Man seemed mostly inconsequential to me, but the MOMENT he cut his hair was a decided marker in differences in his performance: after Metropolis 2000 he lost most of his quirks and animation. First DVD of theirs I got was Budokan, so it was really weird picking up others (in high school, so one at a time after saving haha) and seeing the same man barely any younger and outwardly having fun with the performance and audience. The change was so drastic that it seemed like he had a lobotomy with his haircut hahaha

1:58 was the first guitar riff from John Petrucci I ever heard, downloaded from Kazaa around 2002. Necronomicon eventually got me into Dream Theater! Such a blast from the past to see this posted here.

It's the Triaxis. It's absolutely unforgiving. I play one for the last 3-4 years and when I started with it, I was like "WTF???" you play a bum note, it tells and it chokes...I Sticked with it, it's my favourite tone of all times now. And the effect it had on my playing was enormous. I can play through any shit now and my skills are so solid and trustworthy, I don't give a damn. Especially through a Marshall-y/EVH kind of tone, I feel I don't even have to try. Buy a Triaxis if you wanna be better at guitar.

People always say that distortion covers up mistakes. That's flat out BS. Distortion only covers mistakes if your tone is crap, a good tone will highlight your mistakes.

Back in the day I was to decide for my first decent guitar from my first salary after playing an Epiphone SG for a few years. I was in store and they had the Ibanez JPM 100 in purple Picasso and a USA Strat priced the same...I went for the Strat...I still CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT AN IDIOT I WAS......

I wish DT sounded like this.

Is it just me, or is that opening riff a slower version of what ended up in the False Awakening Suite? I've seen DT 25+ times since first seeing them in '97, and I still miss the Picasso from those early tours (including the '99 LTE show I saw at the Roxy in LA). A visual reference that makes me nostalgic.

He has advanced so much from this melodically, in his phrasing and arrangement. He was good back then, but now he is way beyond this. Here he is playing much more in the box. Now he dances on the boxes.

Is that chorus or flange he’s using on the rhythm sound

@lathrin

Жыл бұрын

Probably chorus. Flanger adds a bit of a wobbling to the sound if you know what I mean - almost like a phaser but not quite as predictable or noticeable (for good examples listen to Third Eye)

John must have stick on Ibanez for his whole carrier rather than musicman i think. He's a perfect match with Ibanez.

The internet: " Ibanez guitars don´t have good toanz because they´re made out of basswood and that´s a bad toanewood..." Also, the internet: "Man, Petrucci´s toane was soo much better when the played Ibanez JPM. ( which is made out of basswood.)
