I started this exercise 4 years ago at 88 BPM I am not at 155 BPM And I've been practicing very consistently, either it takes years to build up speed and accuracy or maybe my muscles have some type of deficiency.
It's all just numbers .. I'm probably about 65 bpm right now at something like this but man I wish I bought into this when I was 16 and had all the time in the fucking world to play guitar. I'm 42 now with a job/family .. and I live for my 60min a day on my axe.
I practiced a lot as a high schooler but never practiced these things. I just learned to play songs. I dedicated my highschool free time to learn "...and justice for all" by Metallica
For the rest, I absolutely agree that effort and discipline is paramount in achieving anything worthwhile, let alone playing skills comparable to Petrucci. Due to my work I don't get to play and practice as much as I'd like, but it's still enough to play in a prog metal band, though I'd say I suck ;)
@ironmaiden146 all the greats must have felt like you do, but it takes practice, passion, and perseverance. I wanted to play the best guitar songs and solo's when I didn't even know what a scale was. It's better to play slow and clean rather than fast and sloppy.
Yeah, some people will. Not most. ;) It's not like these are opinions, this is research-backed. Put a friggin link. I actually went to the site and then tried to search for it, and the search doesn't even work if you use the Enter/Return key but only if you click on the button. Inexcusably bad usability.
you're telling me, john petrucci himself, came to your house, kicked down your fucking door his his giant horse legs, and dragged your ass on youtube and brought you to this page?
Ohh! Look at his selfcontrolling it's very hard thing for a lot of people to control their hands & mind to connect them in such things and this is a key part of all virtuostic things I think... The Jordan's schools are the same...

*lol* That means: "let´s say you´re a human being and can´t shred like that, you probably feel a bit dizzy and might think this it difficult. Let Petruccinator help you!"
Sure. He already talked about that and its on is mind but Dream Theater and his next solo album are more important for him so... Kind sucks, he have to wait and pray xD
Holy shit, hire someone with a bit of online marketing skills. You get Dream Theater to spread your video but you provide no link whatsoever in the video or in the description for me to buy this? Are you placing bets on how well you can avoid making a sale?
"Say, start at 100." Thanks John. I think I'll start closer to...well...ten.
I remember ordering this back in the 97 when I was 15, i couldn’t believe how accurate he was. A machine.
Very old but one of the most "have to" dvd's to guitar players. This just goes through the times and always stays actual ;)
Best instructional video for guitar of all-time!!

2020 !! Came here to watch this 😍
That's actually what I was about to post XD I'm glad someone else noticed that haha!
Keep at it, man. It all pays off.
I didn't say he said that at 2:00. Read the comment again. Look at the quotation marks. JP was referring to BPM. I typed 200, not 2:00.

I know exactly how you feel.

Very informative and helpful. Also, did JP bring you here?
The secret to great playing is PRACTICE-
James Brabham yea only GREAT practice makes great playing
Easily the best guitar player ever!!!!!
I love the solo he did with Periphery :D
I wonder if they could make the whole video go to warp speed and many people just die watching it. At 5:01 - he clicked the "kill zone" switch mode.
My favorite part... "I was at 200, let's say that was 'difficult.'" LOL

Oh John, when he was still a little bear cub...
and he did it 82 times?
Ohh! Look at his selfcontrolling it's very hard thing for a lot of people to control their hands & mind to connect them in such things and this is a key part of all virtuostic things I think... The Jordan's schools are the same...

My max is like 100bpm lol, can’t even start at his “slow” 120pm
Sure. He already talked about that and its on is mind but Dream Theater and his next solo album are more important for him so... Kind sucks, he have to wait and pray xD
