I could listen to JP talk about their writing process all day
SAME
Same
Yep
Ctrl+c - ctrl+v
You need a ten hours version.
Whoever set that guitar up deserves a medal. The intonation sounds perfect.
That would be Maddi Schieferstein!
@@coopercarter where can i hire this man
Exactly!!
You can see his tips here ruclips.net/video/HRd38tJ21ro/видео.html
the coolest dude of all time
"Proggy Chords" Those will be my final words when I die.
Mine would be "Mid Tempo"
Very Count of Tuscanyesque riff. That is a DT signature and yes, proggy chords sums it up nicely!
I've thought the same.
Holy hell! That beard itself is gonna play his guitar one day very soon!
It's cut right after piezo switch ! :)
Holy hell?
Very cool! That main theme is sticky. Definitely a grower. Can't wait to hear the rest of it! 🤘🎸🎸🎸
The new album is 🔥🔥🔥
Love the cheeky Octavarium reference in Sleeping Giant
This song gives me serious Systematic Chaos vibes, and that album is one of my favourites, so I absolutely love it!
Fabulous. What a brilliant rhythm player Mr Petrucci is. The way he nestles those diads into a dense mix whilst giving them character is an art in itself.
I want John Petrucci's beard, but on my head.
John has an amazing personality and is an amazing guitar player. DT FOREVER
Awesome stuff! I hope there is more from different songs where he breaks sections down
Such awesome tone and outlook on prog melody. Great video. 👍
this man has skills, he should join in a band
He is in a grunge band.
Yes right he explained it very well.. he says they wanted to make a normal human song among all the other long and instrumental songs! Cuz they are GODS😍! Cant wait to hear those epic long songs too!😍😍
this is why DT IS a legendary band. The writing process is more than just a fancy riff solo etc. There is a music science here.
Unfortunately, then comes their singer and transfer all science and art into dull shit.
John, this song is awesome!! Love the melodic choices.
His voice calms me down
when I grow up I would like to have your talent. I love John!
DT are many bands within one, with many songs within one. Congrats! ;-)
that melody gives me "Are You Afraid Of The Dark?" vibes 😂 love it
Amo esa guitarra.
This was a blast to learn, and I really liked the way John taught it at a grown-ups pace. Some lesson videos can be so freaking slow.
That guitar/amp/mic/preamp signal chain sounds FANTASTIC...the intonation on that Majesty sounds piano level good. The intervals are spot on.
It has to be or otherwise he would not be in tune with their keyboard player
@@kennhern Are you new around here or something? Lol, sorry...not meaning to jump down your throat. I've been a huge DT and JP fan since the mid 90s. I've got a guitar signed by John, I've seen DT fourteen times live, I got a Majesty tattoo, and my whole guitar career has been shaped largely by this man.
I don't have that precise intonation on any of my standard tuned instruments. It's close, but not as good as his. In a full mix it sounds lovely, but solo is when you can hear it the best. Cheers.
If this is the song that balances out the album, I can’t wait to hear the rest!
That first variation riff at 8:16 is so f**king awesome. Would fit perfectly at the end of the Trial of Tears solo. Love how "DT" that sounds.
The last album was OUTSTANDING because MM was pretty involved in it!!!
The riff that gets played over the second verse (Hiding, Never showing it’s face). Best part of the song.
Always nice to hear from John on these things.
Awesome timbre, the quality of musical sound is really awesome!! great quality!!
The riff at 8:15 is so cool! But im glad they sticked with the one in the song cus it fits the heavy vibe of the song
JP seems really inspired again!!! The fire is back 🔥
JP is just the best. What a cool painting too
El messi , maradona y pele de la guitarra ¡
Cambio totalmente el juego y el enfoque de lo quees un guitarrista de rock/metal
Best idea was writing this song. I just loved it!!!
I just love the fact that my favorite guitarist (who can play circles around pretty much everyone on the planet) can explain stuff in a way that I can actually understand it. 😜
Guitar playing is not a sport, although the kids and immature adults seem to talk about it as if it were. And it is impossible to say one guy can play “circles around” everyone else when there are players like Paul Gilbert, Guthrie Govan, Buckethead, John 5, Ron Thal (guy is insane), and many others out there.
I can swear my BOSS KATANA sounds like this.
I agree, you can get a feel to it in a practice setting. I’m happy with my jp6 and boss katana practice setup
That Beard Sweeps betters than me
It's a simple technique, but damn it sounds great! Jp always the best!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Please, tell me you guys recorded another video with John Petrucci, can't wait for more of this content.
💪🏻😎🎸
That painting by his side is sick.
JP truly master!
Reminds me of the Are You Afraid of the Dark? theme, especially the outro theme.
He's looking at all of us.
Hope the honey burst I ordered looks and sounds this nice!
5:09 love that sound
This sounds awesome! Reminded me a lot of Danny Elfman's Batman Theme.
bring more of this breakdown!
Thanks for the tips
We need that painting as merchandise!!!
i noticed the painting, nice touch!
Sounds good..
John did not explain the end of the song, that solo takes variations of the main melody but modulating to other tonalities. They DO write music when they do. Spectacular
Hold my beer.... I'm out of beer.... I'll just watch.
Exelent
Best album DT ever made. The older they get the more refined their music gets, it’s just smart, clean, thoughtful, and the parts make sense. I think Mangini plays a huge role in that, his playing ability and music mind is unmatched by any drummer on the planet. Sorry not sorry
God. He's amazing.
Yes John Queensryche is great.
02:45 Petrucci HUMOR!!
That beard needs it's own interview
When ZZ Top playing prog
John sits with his guitar properly.
I'm waiting for that moment when that beard will replace as JP's sig guitar belt 🙏🏻🤣
John P. with MM JP20th with gold shield on frets board
The best 👍
"You have a cool chord shape" No john this cool everything about song
He seems not using his signature amp but it sounds like that. Which emulation sounds like his signature amp?
You can profile your exact amp with a Kemper.
@@modelcitizen1977 Have a good profile?
Definitely his signature amp, if you notice his other studio videos , amps and fractal fm3 set in the rack , no emulation sounds so punch and clearly like this
I like your old school beard.
Yeah, i realized that have some riffs, inspired by Queensryche, i must think that's song like 'Eyes Of A Stranger'.
2:51 The monster is supposed to be invisible, yes ignore it. cool painting!
B to E (V to I) or F to E are Tritone subs
Yes master
3:17 "Dream Theater Queensrych-e thing" ? 3:22 "I don't believe in love" power chords !
When will there be an 8 string dream theater song?
Hope on next song,, cant wait for it
In Awaken The Master he uses it
And hopefully a part 2 for the solo lesson?
riff kinda reminds me of Opeth - Reverie / Harlequin Forest
"queensrychey dream theatery chords. proggy chords"
"It might be that guy" lol
wow
Papa Petrucci, teach me please :)
I find it very humorous that people think JP is a god because he knows harmonic theory and applies it to his writing.
Guitar Viking!
🤘🏼
kinda on the backs of angels part 2. cool.
Wow that beard is another level
grate
Can't decide if this sounds more DreamTheatery or Queensrychy, but it's definitely proggy.
Awesome lesson!
I’ve got a cover of the solo if anyone might want to check it out, I’d greatly appreciate any feedback!!
Um, how many gold or platinum cds since Awake?
John playing with new picks? Dont looks like the Jazz or Trinity picks. *sharp eye*
Gandalf dyed his beard and learned to play the electric guitar
We wanted to write a Tool Song. Seeing how popular they are.
who?
👍🎸🤘
What's with the random out-of-place painting?
Which scale is it? If if fits any...
We can see it around the mustache already. The transition from jesus to gandalf the white has begone...
Learn from the "Visible Master"..🙂
What is that esoteric painting next to John?
🎸🇮🇩
