    Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, this is the greatest thing on RUclips. I have been trying to learn DT songs from tabs and stuff but this is great. Along with explanation of the guitar parts, you are giving some great music theory class FOR FREE!!!!. You don't realize how helpful this is going to be for me to up my skills. From the bottom of my heart thanks boss.

    x-mas last year I started on the journey to learn all images and words songs in order. The next one is surrounded. That one will be as "easy" as a DT song can be. And then ... metropolis ... it will take months alone. It is barely achievable for me. But holy, this will be so much fun if I can play it decently. Thank your for making such a tutorial. The amount of work u had to put in must be of the charts

  • @forestrobinson3087
    @forestrobinson3087 2 года назад +2

    Very nice! I like the theory explained throughout. The only thing I would improve is to show the ENTIRE TAB of all gtrs linked together at the end or beginning, so the whole song can be observed and parts are easily returned to rather than the only tab being the pieces and snippets as you explain it. This makes it very cumbersome to go back and forth to different parts of the tab of the song...

    • @RomanovaMusick
      @RomanovaMusick  2 года назад

      Glad you dig it.. I've been trying to include as much as possible in one line as far as the tabs go.. I don't like the way 2 or more lines looks with the presentation so I avoid doing that.. It may be cumbersome but let's be fair here you're learning metropolis pt 1.. Haha doesn't get more cumbersome than that.

    • @RomanovaMusick

    Damn dude, this is going to sound corny as hell, but you're like a lost brother halfway across the world. My girlfriend literally shouted out 'It's you!' when she saw me watching your vids and playing along to see if we played the songs in the same way 😂
    Metallica, Dream theater, gaming, the mesa boogie, the corny jokes, the interest in music theory, the hair and beard, the love of verbose verbiage, and the acceptance of our lord and savior, sir Kevin Moore,...
    When I found and was finally able to buy a Mesa Boogie Quad preamp after working several summers as a teenager 20 years ago, the very first thing I did after switching it on was playing the intro to metropolis. It sounded exactly and immediately like the record out of the box, and I've been a Mesa fanboy ever since. Of course, I already was a firm Petrucci fanboy then.
    Anyways, enough of that parasocial creeping! Just wanted to say this is a hidden gem of a channel. I will make sure to donate next month when my funds finally permit.
