Even a very skillful guitarrist, like Matt or Corey, can't stand a chance on Petrucci, Romeo, Gilbert or Vai. I envy Matt, he earned few tips direct from a monster like John... Kkkk
Nobody is debating who the more experience and acknowledged guitarists are. The comment was about his attitude. He's genuinely coming in with the mentality that he should learn as much as possible, he never became cocky about what he can already do. That's how you become the best. Just look at Tosin Abasi, the difference in his ability between the first album release and now is out of this world even though his playing on the first album was already at a level most professional guitarists never achieve.
whats a good way to get your fingers matching the pick hand as you go thru the scale building up speed when your 1st starting out sweep picking? Anyone have any tips? Or other lessons to watch that are good?
Haha lol that's exactly what John Petrucci is trying to tell Matt and everybody, that it's important not to feel like a bad guitar player!!! just go for it and yeah it takes time!!! speaking from my experience, but don't be afraid to jump into sweep picking. You really need to take it seriously and instead of watching tv or play pc, play on your guitar so it becomes a part of YOU ;) if you understand? and if you think it's more important to Watch tv you shouldn't have a guitar!!! I imagine a lot buying guitars, just to be cool, that's not the right way to become good ;)
So cool John mentioned Frank Gambale considering Frank is a sweep monster and just a guitar beast in general. It's always good to enjoy other types of music so we can find these great musicians. And of course, John is always amazing.
I started to ask myself, "How does Petrucci play literally without effort?" And then I remembered that he's a god. If I were Matt, my face would have melted.
i just wanna say to everyone that you would be nervous af if you were sitting there with one of your guitar idols growing up. matt is a great guitarist in his own right and anyone that thinks otherwise is clearly ignorant. of course john is better, he has 20 years on matt, but he was impressed by the one handed arpeggio that matt was doing. i would also like to point out that john went to college for guitar, matt is self taught.
I don't like Trivium, but I really appreciate Matt's willingness to learn and listen. I've heard other musicians who thought they were the best and when someone told them they were doing it wrong, they scoffed and brushed them aside. Rude bastards.
Think about it: you're a professional musician who's hanging out with one of your idols you looked up to. Wouldn't you feel a bit annoyed that your idol is "Showing off" how amazing he/she is compared to you? Petrucci can absolutely destroy Heafy but he has enough humility and integrity to put aside his ego and give him excellent advice.
Matt Heafy is very humble. I don't know of another artist who shows publicly what he CAN'T do. But you can be sure he will work on it like crazy and master it soon enough. That's a great attitude.
I'm not much a Trivium fan but, from what I've seen so far, I admire the fact that he's ok with everyone seeing him taking these lessons, showing his "weaker" spots if he has any, and I really admire his humble attitude towards Petrucci and the public. Nice vid.
Matt Heafy is my favorite guitarist of all time. I love his melody, I love his speed, I love his style. And he is very very young. I think he has potential to be one of the greatest shredder of all time.
There is a saying in my country that "padi semakin berisi semakin merunduk". It means that the more knowledge you get, the more humble you should be. And these two guitar gods really cut it
i think one of the most overlooked things about being about to play advanced guitar is that you have to have the right kind of hands with long lean strong skinny fingers. i have the opposite and cant move fast around the neck because my fingers are so short and fat.......
I've never listened to Trivium, but Matt Heafy seems like a really cool guy. He seems genuinely interested in taking Petrucci's advice into consideration.
Man Petrucci makes guitar playing look real real easy....a damn monster..I would love to see a Petrucci and Buckethead video playing together..that would be awesome
In petruccis head he's like why don't you just ask Corey for that stuff , why haven't you already , you have a great shredder in your band and you want me to teach you this?
No. That's why he puts his picking hand on the neck. It mutes all the other strings so when you do sweeps with hammer ons and pull offs you don't get noise from any of the other strings you're not using.
i get what you are saying. most shredders dont play les pauls, they arent the best for that sorta thing. shredding is much easier on a Jackson, ESP, or Ibanez. there for a while, matt used dean guitars. but yeah, les pauls are better suited for rock or blues style playing.
Pause it when ever they are both in camera view. How typical does this guitar lesson look?!! The young metal guy learning as much as he can and the wise veteran master.
"I tried learning your sweeps...I-I couldn't do it" "Yeah." lol
In mouth: "yeah"
Deep down on JP's heart: "lol you noob, you can't copy my style"
Yep, and then JP lays down some divine knowledge and all of a sudden he can do it. :-)
Finally I´ not the only one..Mat couldn' t too LOL
I've always liked Matt, he's got a real down to earth attitude and still very respectful of the guitar gods even when his playing is as good as it is.
Even a very skillful guitarrist, like Matt or Corey, can't stand a chance on Petrucci, Romeo, Gilbert or Vai.
I envy Matt, he earned few tips direct from a monster like John... Kkkk
LambChopper678 AYE ITS LAMBCHOPPER, truth though man!
LambChopper678 I couldn't agree more. he is so reverent and respectful. pls z John is gracious and helpful. It's actually awesome to see.
Nobody is debating who the more experience and acknowledged guitarists are. The comment was about his attitude. He's genuinely coming in with the mentality that he should learn as much as possible, he never became cocky about what he can already do. That's how you become the best.

3:08 "That will definitely take awhile" "YEEEEEEEH"
2:27 Oh yes, the Pacman technique.
+TheAtb85 herman li approves
awesome analogy
whats a good way to get your fingers matching the pick hand as you go thru the scale building up speed when your 1st starting out sweep picking? Anyone have any tips? Or other lessons to watch that are good?
made my day
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"It's pretty easy" lmao
It's very easy when you activate the pedal that slows the earth
Nicolás Bascuñán ok you made me laugh with that one.
When Petrucci says oh ya this sweeping pattern is very easy..... im gonna go cry now.
1:41 Matt: This will impress you :D
2:07 Petrucci in "I´m your God" mode on.
2:34 Petrucci: Better... Look at this!
2:40 Matt: :'(
With Petrucci's way of speaking, it almost feels as if they're flirting.
Francis Santos I felt that too XD
John is like an old Jedi Master, he’s got a cool and humble attitude, like he doesn’t have to prove shit to anyone, anymore.
He never had to
i feel like a shitty guitar player right now
If you feel like that you probably don't practice enough. His sweeps doesn't sounds good. (the guy on the left)
Haha lol that's exactly what John Petrucci is trying to tell Matt and everybody, that it's important not to feel like a bad guitar player!!! just go for it and yeah it takes time!!! speaking from my experience, but don't be afraid to jump into sweep picking. You really need to take it seriously and instead of watching tv or play pc, play on your guitar so it becomes a part of YOU ;) if you understand? and if you think it's more important to Watch tv you shouldn't have a guitar!!! I imagine a lot buying guitars, just to be cool, that's not the right way to become good ;)
***** I think his name is Matt Heafy and he hasn't developed his style since 2011 or something....he is seriously still playing the same sweeps!!!!
couldent agree more man :)
PowerVoltaire well technically he's the rhythm guitarist. Even tho they say they're both lead
Typical John Petrucci:3:41 - after face-smashing arpeggios and making strings start to smoke he says "It's pretty easy". Love it.
Jesus Christ and Joseph Gordon Levitt on guitars.
Hahahahaaha.
lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
everytime john says his line " Hello this is.... " I must flashback the scene from that blooper reel with James :D :D
if JP tells you that you sound awesome, you are awesome! Love JP!
2:27 Pac-Man!
Heafy is so humble and eager to learn it is dope! They are both awesome.
Petrucci is such a cool guy: not showing off and casually talking to another guitarrist about technique without sounding arrogant.
Matt: *Playing chords on accident when he's trying to sweep*
John: "Yeah, the goal is to separate the notes..."
Petrucci is a very cool guy.
I don't even play guitar and I'm here watching these videos one by one
did you start playing now? just curious because of your profile pic :)
Sadly I did not :( if I'm not mistaken this picture is from Jeff Waters (Annihilator), just some old pic that I never minded to change haha
ah ok haha, if have interest it's still never too late to start playing guitar and always a great decision :)
So cool John mentioned Frank Gambale considering Frank is a sweep monster and just a guitar beast in general. It's always good to enjoy other types of music so we can find these great musicians. And of course, John is always amazing.
Matt, who I consider a very good guitar player, looks like a beginer...
A meet between John Petrucci and Mike Romeo would be fantastic.
Michael Romeo and John Petrucci would be a hell of a pair
tosin abasi
lucky guy, gets free face to face lesson with the Progfather himself :D
+Paolo Gilberto not really. He is amazing on his own right.
THAT, is gonna take some time! This is a nice match up for guitar discussion, I'm loving it.
I started to ask myself, "How does Petrucci play literally without effort?" And then I remembered that he's a god.
If I were Matt, my face would have melted.
i just wanna say to everyone that you would be nervous af if you were sitting there with one of your guitar idols growing up. matt is a great guitarist in his own right and anyone that thinks otherwise is clearly ignorant. of course john is better, he has 20 years on matt, but he was impressed by the one handed arpeggio that matt was doing. i would also like to point out that john went to college for guitar, matt is self taught.
John dropped out from the college.. he didnt even graduate from berklee
Matt tries something... Petrucci “Hold my beard”
the diference of levels is high!
1:53 Petrucci looking at him like "Noob"
I don't like Trivium, but I really appreciate Matt's willingness to learn and listen. I've heard other musicians who thought they were the best and when someone told them they were doing it wrong, they scoffed and brushed them aside. Rude bastards.
Me sweep picking would be a dramatic turn of events.
Think about it: you're a professional musician who's hanging out with one of your idols you looked up to. Wouldn't you feel a bit annoyed that your idol is "Showing off" how amazing he/she is compared to you? Petrucci can absolutely destroy Heafy but he has enough humility and integrity to put aside his ego and give him excellent advice.
Not surprising since John used to be a teacher at Berkley.
tuck234 Oh man I'd pay big bucks to have him teach me...
tuck234 He never taught at Berkley. He was a student there for one year. He taught privately outside of school though.
Really? Huh... I remember watching an interview where he said he taught at berkley...
You might be thinking of Mike Mangini. He taught at Berkley for 10+ years.
Inspiring to see such great players being so humble to eachother and sharing knowledge.
Love you John and Matt
Matt Heafy is very humble. I don't know of another artist who shows publicly what he CAN'T do. But you can be sure he will work on it like crazy and master it soon enough. That's a great attitude.
Holy shit Matt's posture it something to be amazed about
"that is gonna take some time" putting guitar down
This proves no matter how good you are or what you do there is always something to learn. as yoda said "Much to learn you still have."
It doesnt matter how good a guitar player you are you are never too good to get guitar lessons from John Petrucci!!!!
After ever compliment John gives him, fill in the blank with ''but you'll never be as good as me no matter how much you practise. ''
LITERALLY my two biggest guitar role models. Great video!
Matt is far better than I thought because I'd never really listened to Trivium but in 20 years he will be one of the best around.
He's such a great teacher and patient
I'm not much a Trivium fan but, from what I've seen so far, I admire the fact that he's ok with everyone seeing him taking these lessons, showing his "weaker" spots if he has any, and I really admire his humble attitude towards Petrucci and the public. Nice vid.
seems like the two of them are hitting it off really well in this part.. think there will be some love making in part 3
i like matt's humility
loving that reference.
Matt Heafy is my favorite guitarist of all time. I love his melody, I love his speed, I love his style. And he is very very young. I think he has potential to be one of the greatest shredder of all time.
That bit had me in tears.
John is saying, that sounds awesome. Man you are really gooooodddddd.
Matt: That's gonna take some time.
John: Yeah...
LOL
Rofl...2:43
Matt : That, is gonna take some time.
John : Yea.....
*menacing stare as John sweeps*
Human: Hi, I'm puny human.
John: Hi, I'm God.
Human: Yeah fuck me , right !
Matt - “And I’ve tried but I just can’t do it “
1:06
*fucking plays it perfectly *
There is a saying in my country that "padi semakin berisi semakin merunduk". It means that the more knowledge you get, the more humble you should be. And these two guitar gods really cut it
Matt: i tried to do your sweeps
John: Thats cute
haha
THIS IS MY KIND OF GUITAR PLAYING.. EXTREMELY EDUCATED GUITARIST SITTING DOWN DISCUSSING THE TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF GUITAR...
3:41 John: "It's very easy"
2:27 PACMAN!
i think one of the most overlooked things about being about to play advanced guitar is that you have to have the right kind of hands with long lean strong skinny fingers. i have the opposite and cant move fast around the neck because my fingers are so short and fat.......
Not true look at Karl sanders he has pretty stubby hands
John: It's pretty easy
99% of guitarists: ❗⁉️❓‼️❓⁉️❗‼️❓❗⁉️❗‼️
PEtrucci seems like such a cool guy
So helpful I definitely change technique between tempos
Petrucci did not learn from Joe, although they did share tips when they were on the G3 tour together
when you play guitar yourself you learn from everyone you watch playing guitar,its just the way it is.
at 2:26 John does the down 3 up 3 sweep which sounds like pac man eating dots so it should be called the pac man sweep..
3:42 john "It's very easy"
matt "for once im the guitar noob"
3:40 John: It's very easy i mean its not........ (oh crap)
Camera focuses john. LOL
Trivium - Caustic Are The Ties That Bind
I've never listened to Trivium, but this Matt guy seems pretty cool and very humble in front of Jesus.
I've never listened to Trivium, but Matt Heafy seems like a really cool guy. He seems genuinely interested in taking Petrucci's advice into consideration.
After watching this video I just want to yell at my fingers "WHY CAN'T YOU DO THAT GOD DAMMIT!"
Man Petrucci makes guitar playing look real real easy....a damn monster..I would love to see a Petrucci and Buckethead video playing together..that would be awesome
0:34 DUNCAN COFFEE JINGLE SOLO !
At 2:20 I heard the intro to Zephyr Song by RHCP
In petruccis head he's like why don't you just ask Corey for that stuff , why haven't you already , you have a great shredder in your band and you want me to teach you this?
1:02 EPIC Thanks man!
Petrucci's boots are awesome
No. That's why he puts his picking hand on the neck. It mutes all the other strings so when you do sweeps with hammer ons and pull offs you don't get noise from any of the other strings you're not using.
I have been trying sweep picking for more than a decade, and still can't do it.
The moment when you realize Matt flips off everyone with his picking hand
these are great!!
Herman Li needs to watch this.
Matt is all of us :)
I also have the "missing B string" issue when sweeping like Matt!
2 great guitar players .
3:06 "yeah that's really cool".. if i am there, that is all i can say.. =)
I love how modest John Petrucci is lol
ROCK JESUS
john would be an awesome teacher :P
It's crazy he wants to play all this technical stuff on a Les Paul. Very rare
+Rusty Shackleford --------________---------
+Remmy 315 don't forget the most technical guitar player that uses a les paul..... Buckethead!!!!
i get what you are saying. most shredders dont play les pauls, they arent the best for that sorta thing. shredding is much easier on a Jackson, ESP, or Ibanez. there for a while, matt used dean guitars. but yeah, les pauls are better suited for rock or blues style playing.
His signature guitar is and Ephihpnoe les paul
I Shred Prestige Slash, a technical player? HA
Caustic Are the Ties that Bind.
It's off of In Waves.
I recommend listening to their shogun album. Some heavy stuff on there!
Matt can't wait for puberty to kick in, so he can have beard like JP.
Jesus Christ i'd be scared sitting infront of John let alone play!!
Youre not the only one cant learn that sweep matt :")
Pause it when ever they are both in camera view. How typical does this guitar lesson look?!! The young metal guy learning as much as he can and the wise veteran master.
Gracias!
Petrucci just like ''ok, i'm seeing your left ear, but's normal''
When John Petrucci told you to play with metronome: You fucking play with metronome no matter what.
