Then the camera turned to Dave Grohl, who was just tearing it up. Head banging, horns in the air, big smile on his face. That's the moment I knew I loved that dude.

The first chord in Hemispheres, the final chord of Far Cry, throughout Xanadu, etc. Such an awesome chord!

      My guitar is just something I enjoy. Sure, I'm good at it, but I was totally good enough 10-15 years ago. Shoulda, woulda, coulda. Didn't, and now I regret it.
      Trust me, if you're some young guitarist and you're good enough to play a full set of basic rock songs live - start now. Nobody cares that you can only sweep one pattern or only know your scales in one position, whatever. Audiences don't care about that. People listening to your Soundcloud won't even know.
      Just get yourself out there (in whatever way you do that in 2021) and start rockin'. It's not like you will stop learning about music. You'll also learn about running/promoting yourself as an artist/with a band, learn about playing live etc.
      Most people don't "make it". I've known way more talented musicians than myself get dropped from record labels, replaced on support tours, or just not even noticed at all. Become session musicians, tops.
      Don't wait. If you wait.. you'll never do it. There'll never be a time when you're happy with your skill set and feel like there's nothing more to learn.

    That "Petrucci" chord is actually known as the "Alex" chord (Alex Lifeson from Rush) when you play it with F# in the bass. Go check out Cygnus-X1 Book II. The entire intro guitar part uses that chord. John was massively influenced by Rush so I think it makes sense!

    What you said at 8:30 is so true. Ive been thinking that exact thing for years. Some of the best, most original songs I've written, were during times when I was not trying whatsoever. Shit, the song ive written that I'm the most proud of, I came up with the main part during a damn sound check. "Oh hey, that was pretty cool. Im gonna record that real quick." I'm glad to hear you put that idea into words, its just so hard to "not try". Because at that point, you're trying, to not try.
    Its one of those things that just happens at random. You can't control it. Just be grateful when it does.

A lot of his contemporaries were sort of miffed they didn't have that same gift of catchy melodies Brahms did.
