    Honestly the fact the Neon was born from a failed Tomo lesson should tell every guitarist how incredible Tomo is as a teacher and musician.

    Tomo is one of those RUclips guitar players that you can easily overlook simply because he is the most humble RUclips guitar player you will see. Humility and Excellence is his MO.

    Great thing about that chord at 7:04 is that John Petrucci uses that to transition in a dream theater song, "Metropolis Part 1". He uses that chord to add feeling in other songs on later albums, but the way he uses F sharp to kind of transition into different sections is inspiring when you hear it.
