this solo Chug ?😁😁😁😁
I will support you when that wicked X SHAPE gets released!!
amazing this takes me back to learning this solo during mid 2000's😀
Were you using the Petrucci NeuralDSP plugin?
@@andresilvasophisma yes!
John’s ballad solos are his best work. His best solo ironically has never been played live. The best of times. It’s in my top solos of all time.
best of times is my favourite solo of all time, its incredible, it alone could make me cry.
YES! Hands down one of the best solos of all time, up there with 2112
Cannot argue with that there man
Is 2112 a good solo?
I really like that solo. I had no idea that they never played the song live.
"Who 's hurting you, John?"
The song was written as a way to deal with his dad having cancer ("They took pictures of our dreams" - what an unbelievable way to talk about CT/MRI scans, right?).
"Take Away My Pain" (from Falling Into Infinity) was written after his dad eventually passed away.
I never knew exactly what the song was about, just that it effects me profoundly. I'm so glad I learned this today. It explains such a amazing otherworldly solo. Thanks.
Love how ola is leaning more into his shred chops, hopefully he drops the whole "I'm a rhythm guitarist I don't play lead" thing
Doesnt he play solos with his band?
@@yarek549 I think so but he's always said he's not a lead player and then keeps proving himself wrong
@@finnvanderbar3935 he’s a rythm player but that doesn’t make him a non lead player if you can follow me somewhat
@@yarek549 exactly that's what I'm saying as well. He can be both and be amazing!
@fenrirsghost2051 I think it's true that playing solos doesn't inherintly make you the lead guitarist in the band, when you play a solo (aka lead break) you are playing the lead, part whether or not that is your role
Man, loved this. i think every guitarist is inherently insecure on some level, be it thinking others are better, feeling they're cheating when they can't pick up nuances learning something, feeling they're creatively blocked and can't create something original. to see someone as accomplished as him go through the process, using everything available to him, just as us and be very human in the process is so encouraging. Great series.
Hands down one of Petrucci’s best solos. So much emotion and feel, yet not lacking in technical prowess and shred either.
His older playing was so much better I think. Less shred for its own sake I think and more interesting phrasing
@@Golem29 I agree.
@@Golem29 Exactly. I find his playing from the 90's a lot more tasty. Wider influences. I think he's soul left with his Ibanez.
@@Mulukkis What? Breaking All Illusions, Barstool Warrior, A New Beginning... Just a few gems to revisit if you really think he lost something along the way.
@@orshy1 Yes, you just have to accept the fact, I don't like their sound after 6 degrees. I'm not hating the band, I just prefer their older stuff.
Once again Ola proves to me that he has one of the best "feel" vibrato's I've ever heard.
Who else feels better about themselves seeing Ola getting a tab book with his eyes filled with frustration🤣?
The opening solo in this song has been my phone's ring tone for probably over 5 years. I never get tired of it! One of my absolute all time favorite songs. Still can't sing along with it to this day.... Doesn't stop me from trying🤣
This entire record is a masterpiece! It definitely needs a vinyl reissue. Way to kill it, Ola!
certainly one of the most beautiful solos by master Perrucci
Absolutely love the less shreddy more feelsy john petrucci solos. The second solo in stream of consciousness is one of my favourites.
Isint second solo of SOC like one of the most shreddiest solos of his?😅
Goodnight Kiss
A Change of Seasons (4:08, 15:38 & 17:00)
In the Presence of Enemies part 1
Breaking All Illusions
The Spirit Carries On
At Wit's End
Through Her Eyes
Chosen
The Best of Times
Peruvian Skies
Out of Reach
A View From The Top of the World (the soft middle section at 11:49 & 13:13)
Octavarium
THAT'S WHY HE'S THE GOAT!! THE GOAAAT!!!!
@@eemilhilden4202 He's obviously not talking about the main solo but the melodic one at 9:28 in the song ;)
He is such sn inspiration! Nothing he does, is simple. His ballad solos, bring tears to my eyes 😭
Learn the second solo in "Erotomania". It's truly a work of art.
That is an astounding, jaw dropping piece of music that has remained untouched to this day.
That's one I did play! It's just the rest of the song and solos that are impossible :D
John has amazing feel in his solos. He's a GOAT.
Goat?
@@sansubrabbrevation of Greatest of all time. People use it to describe people in say, sports that are the best, or their favorite
@@michaelaker4531 Ah okay
I had a bad day today, but you made it so much better, brOla. And that face you made reaching for that tab book for the second time - pure awesomeness :D Love it, love you and love the solo - amazing!
Said a prayer for you my friend. I hope the rest of your day improves and tomorrow will be better. 🤘
@@joeyvanostrand3655 I appreciate the good will! Thanks :)
John has to be to be the most consistent maestro, top notch player of them all. Back when Mike was still with Mapex drums we had the chance to follow a string of 10 gigs almost in a row and witnessed this precision up close (sometimes soundcheck and/or backstage). It is no wonder why he is soooo good. And people do not give him enough credit for his emotive playing - I totally agree. Listen to the vibrato and melody in under a glass moon. it is not just a juggling trick it is well thought out and executed. Has to be my fav John solo. UAGM.
When I see Ola and anything dream theater, I am allllll in.
One of the most beautiful songs ever.
That's crazy that the Petrucci plug-in is Exactly like the Tone on the Album thick and rich in Sonic Flavor Crystals!!! I love all the new videos man Ola Englund makes new videos like Mark Weins eats spicy soups!!!
So glad you did this! I tried to learn solo this during my years studying music in high school, 94-97, and never managed to pull it off. I also think the the addition of Jay Beckenstein from Spyro Gyra is a nice compliment to this amazing ballad! Cheers Ola and keep being a bad ass!
Fun fact this song is about John’s aunts cancer diagnosis that’s why there is so much emotion. Also the line “die another day”
I thought it was about his dad?
Ola's leads are so smooth. Most people know him for his chugs, but he gets all the little feely things right in his lead playing. The vibratos, the slides, the pick accents, the bends. A lot of people just play the notes, but they don't play the solos. Ola's got dat feel.
This solo has the perfect ratio of being technical and melodic. Now after watching ola learn it, kinda feel motivated to learn it myself (dont know if i can pull it off as well as him in one day though haha)
Easily one of the best solos ever written. Great job Ola \,,/
No matter how many times I’ve heard this solo it never fails to give me goosebumps. Brilliant transcription Ola🔥🔥🔥
What you did Ola was siple amazing. You are teaching to the new generations how to use all the tools and resources to get the porpouse. There are amazing ways outthere with tremendous ear listening habilities, but you really understand that sometimes we will have not other choice than to find other ways to fix some parts (for example play parts solo of petrucci)... that´s what we have to do..... that´s how the world works.. use what you have to reach your target... Thanks man :) I really appreciatte your full dedication
I am so excited about their show in Netherlands. It will be my first time seeing them.
Images and Words is one of my top ten albums by any band ever. It literally take be back to my family cabin on the lake, every time. Time machine! \m/
You make me want to channel my inner Jordan Rudess. I have yet to learn some of my favourite DT songs or solos. Love this solo!
Yess, this is my favourite solo. The feel is unbelievable. Great job Ola, you've nailed it
This was the Dream Theater solo I ever learned in its entirety. I cheated of course by using tabs, but the solo is one of the most beautiful I have ever heard
One of the best Dream Theater songs and JP solos. Great pick, Ola!
One of the most memorable and melodic of petrocci's! Very nice job Ola! Love it.
One of the best songs ever written 🤘🏻. Another amazing Petrucci-solo is in the masterpiece "the count of Tuscany"
Great video 👍 this is my second Favorite solo by JP. In my mind nothing tops ending of “ Best of times “
Outstanding! JP is my guitar hero as well. My favorite solo is from "The Best of Times". I feel it is too very underappreciated, being 10 minutes into that song. I learned the the slow start part of it and each time I hit the notes I feel like I touched a tiny part of his genius lol
I waiting for that moment my entire life
Great! One of my fave songs by DT! Your lead sound is pretty close I think 🙂
This solo is freaking beautiful. Man, early DT was perfect (I miss Kevin Moore era so much). To me, the greatest prog metal album ever recorded in human history is Awake, everything about that album is heavy, dark AND beautiful. Also, my favorite Petrucci solo is the Voices solo. Very fun video, by the way. Cheers from Brazil.
I saw the title and I just couldn’t resist😂 great work ola ❤
Yayyyyy
Hello my dear Jen !
This is cool that it's one of your favorite solos too. It's just so perfect and tasteful.
Excellent choice! :). I also think JP is an amazing guitar solo writter. One of the best solo ever played is on Lines In the Sand
That plugin sounds glorious!
Great video again Ola 😂…And you’re right Petrucci is an amazing guitarplayer, and this solo is one of his best on their best Record imo! Keep up the great work 😊
Any time you nail something from JP is a good day. Nice work on this one. Two other ballady favorites from him are Lines in the Sand and Our New World
What a beautiful solo, gunna have to learn this GEM
I think I need to go back to learning this song after 20 years... Thanks for this feature Ola! :D
AWESOME performance 💪🎸🔥
Dream Theater is a huge musical influence for me for more than half of my life now. Still the only solo I've ever been able to figure out is the one from Peruvian Skies 😂
The way you express is on top level for guitarist hat off big respect from nepal
Ola the shredder ... seriously is there anything you can not do lol .. stay amazing Ola your loved by alot of people
One of my favorite Petrucci solos and my favorite album. Maybe cause it was my first DT album I ever heard and bought. Great job Ola!
5:30 Yes he does also have a tremolo picking technique he leans into sometimes, where he just blazes across the scale while picking super fast and the two sides don't necessarily line up. It seems more of a feel thing - he isn't necessarily trying to make it perfectly clean during those runs.
These Ola Learns videos are awesome. I wish I was good enough to be disappointed that I only got that far in an HOUR!!
He's got his soul into it i guess ❤amazing solo I've ever heard! Another day
It gives me great relief to see Señor Ola check with RUclips on the fast runs. I always feel so beat when I get to that point.
Whoever says John lacks feeling should listen to this and lines in the sand. I have goosebumps hearing this everytime
One of the great things about watching you play things like this is you understand PHRASING! I've seen a million guitarists on RUclips play the notes and get it...but the phrasing is all wrong. If I closed my eyes and listened to you play this (once you did nail it), I'd have a difficult time distinguishing it from the man himself...and that's a HUGE achievement on your part. I also hear it when you cover Dime's stuff. Your attention to the little details is what sets you above many guitarist, and most guitar playing RUclipsrs. Mad respect Ola!
Thanks man!
Thank you for not being embarrassed to admit that you peek at tabs) I am a person who makes these tablatures and when selecting songs I often encounter the fact that it is generally impossible to hear what is playing there, and there is nowhere to peek) There are now programs for this case , which parses the sound into notes, does not work very well, but as an instrument of last chance it will do just fine)
Wow…. This video brings back memories of countless hours in my early 20’s learning solo’s
This is soooo relatable. I recently had the privilege of finally getting around to learning thjs solo and it’s so much more nuanced than I’d initially expected.
And JP doesn’t get as much credit as he deserves for his solos - he can write incredibly melodic stuff filled with feels, the solos from The Spirit Carries On, The Best of Times come to mind immediately.
Learning to live has the best solo of all time. Beautiful masterpiece.
You're a beast, Ola! Awesome
They are one of those bands where everything is over the top polished.
This solo is already on the list of great solos! Melody, technique and interpretation by John Petrucci.
Great guitar lesson!
Wholesome to watch you learn Ola. One thing about learning guitar is one never gets to see their guitar mentors learn or practice lol.
The solos from Images and Words are incredible, that album as a whole is one of the greatest in prog music imho.
I mean seriously, this solo and the one from Under a Glass Moon are UNREAL! Would love to see ya giving that one a go, too!
You never let us down Ola! Amazing job taking on this solo head on. Chug life.
3:09 - That thought, as you might have figured out later on, is a trap :)
5:47 - "I can watch John Petrucci playing himself" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
10:37 - 😂😂😂
14:24 - basically my whole life as a guitarist ._.
Aaand look at that - you pretty much nailed it!
Ola started as that riff guy from RUclips to a much improved soloist. Props dude!
14:12 - Misses the solo, 14:17 James LaBrie: YOU WON'T FIND IT HERE!
my favorite series! please keep making more of these
I can't hear what he's playing > I can't figure it out slowed down > I can't see what he's playing > I can't play it from the tab > I can't play with this pick > sad screeching sounds... such a relatable video.
14:41 It’s like realizing there’s no Santa and there’s a person inside Big Bird. 😂
Love me some dream! His ballads really have the best solos.
Cool Ola cool! Now you got chops for lead guitar Ola! Way to go buddy!
This Ola Learns series is great! I think you captured the feel of the solo, and you definitely mastered those opening bends and vibrato! You've inspired me to listen to the rest of the song and attempt to learn the solo myself. I hope the neighbours' windows are insured...
Beautiful brother.
All love and respect from my family and I to you and yours OLA. Cheers from Seattle. Sitting with my coffee, in my work truck..waiting for my work day to start, and watching you. Hellyeah 🤘🎸🎼🔥
You can really see the influence of this solo on the one on stars & ponies, one of my favorites from ola, that lick its just awesome
aw man, this one is a good one, great choice... _right into the feelss_
Him and Dimebag are probably my favorite guitarists. The feeling they put into their solos is unmatched.
Ola it's so cool watching you figure this out because you're doing it exactly how I (and I'm sure most of us) would. Just using your ear, not using any complex theory. I think working it through like this makes it easier to remember and incorporate your own style into the solo rather than just reading tablature (which is normally wrong anyway).
Rock on man
if you searched "another day isolated guitar" you could've found tabs along with the isolated track from a yt channel named 'realsongbook', I use that channel to learn piano parts of DT songs
Great solo. One of my favorites to play.
I just learned that solo few weeks ago, I love it. Cheers from Argentina!
Cool solo, Ola! I tried to guess it before I heard the audio by just watching your hands, and was right guessing Another Day 🎯🤘🔥 👏, grab that Ibanez Picasso next time that thing is sick!!!
This is such a lovely solo, super underrated.
Great video Ola. We are very lucky now to have RUclips, Tab books, and things like Songster to look up how to figure parts out. I remember trying to learn solos from cassette tapes, the feeling of rage not being able to slow it down to hear it. Its not cheating to use the tools available to you and makes live easier and stress free.
This was great! Also a great throwback to myself 11 years ago practicing this solo and making youtube-cover of it on which you commented on back then :D Your comment "Well done dude" was a very cool thing - thanks!
I agree 100%, I tried learning some of the "easier" DT songs years ago and there was always one little lick or run in JP's solos that I couldn't manage. Older and wiser, you've prompted me to give them a try all these years later!
Yes Ola!!! Impressive work!
Great job, not only the notes in time but the expression is also reproduced with presicion. One of my fav JP solos too (along with Scarred, Breaking All Illusions, Sacrificed Sons, and a thousand more). I will definitely use this video to get the solo on my keyboard.
The first solo in The Count Of Tuscany was one of the first full guitar solos I ever learned, and still one of my favorites to this day
Sure his shred is good, but when he plays with Feel, I just love it
Fuck yeah man, that next day take gave me chills. Absolutely one of the top solos of all time.
Fantastic! Would love to see you tackle Under A Glass Moon.
Oh man, you are so relatable yet so much funnier. Really makes my day watching you having a go at this. Guitar, awesome. One of JP’s finest, awesome. Ola learning/playing it, freaking awesome. There’s a holy trinity for you! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing, I'm with you- a hell of a solo, indeed. IMO DT peaked on that record in terms of creativity. Man, listen to songs such as Take the Time!
I can SOOO relate to this. Classically trained violinist would look at the sheet music and do it, us self-taught rock guitar players do THIS instead. A lot! The struggle is real!
