    This is my entry (which won 1st place!) for Lincoln Brewster's "Show Me What You've Got" guitar solo contest. Thank you Lincoln Brewster for having this awesome contest!
    The solo from Lincoln Brewster's song "Reaching for You." Ima let you finish, but this is one of the best guitar solos of all time... of all time!!
    There are a couple tiny mistakes in timing, but I was more focused on getting the feeling right. Don't hate though... it's difficult!
    Used my Ernie Ball/Music Man John Petrucci BFR6 into my Mesa/Boogie Roadster head using a Marshall 1960AV cabinet with all Celestion Vintage 30 speakers. The only effect used was a little delay using an MXR Carbon Copy delay pedal. Recorded using an SM57, an M-Audio ProFire610, and Fruity Loops.

    @tcsballer11 Just remember, "Practice makes PERMANENT!" :) Even if you practice a lot, if you're doing it the wrong way, you're going to keep playing incorrectly! Always start at a slow enough speed that you can play it perfectly. Even if it sounds ridiculously slow, if it's the fastest you can play it right, then that's the right speed to practice.

We need another contest, maybe the "all to you" live solo? Thanks again for your encouraging words on my post, the speed is slowly coming, but just love doing those bends though!

I don't care too much about Lincoln's contest I just wanted to throw that video out there b/c we play that song in our worship band at church and i gotta know that solo so i figured what the heck.

    1. I have this one, plus my Fender American Deluxe HSS Strat, which is tuned to drop B or something right now. I'll have to break that out some time... I also have a Gibson Songwriter Deluxe for when I play acoustic stuff.
    2. Anything is possible... and more Dream Theater songs are very possible!! :) But it takes a long time to learn something Petrucci plays! He's the man!... and so is Lincoln Brewster! lol
