Given that our musical tastes are a little different & our levels of ability are miles apart, I wasn't sure how this interview would go. But I needn't have worried!! John is such a cool, humble & easy to get along with guy. He was so engaging & happy to talk about whatever we wanted to in the interview. He even let his lunch go cold when two young fans saw us eating & wanted to talk to him! I know this is a long video, but take your time, stick it on the big screen, kick back with a beer & take it all in!! You'll learn something for sure. Thanks to John & to everyone involved in making this interview happen. Loved it!!
These are all so fantastic Cap. You have something really special in this channel.
I'm glad to see someone as massively influential as John in one of these videos. Dream Theater is the first prog band I ever listened to, and while they're not my favorite, they do have some of my favorite prog songs of all time, and I never would've gotten into bands like Meshuggah, Periphery, and Mastodon without hearing DT first.
On the topic of prog metal musicians... Nolly from periphery would be amazing to see a Capt. Meets of. No idea if he'd be willing to, but I think every single bass player in your audience would implode simultaneously if so.
CaptAnderton Thanks for this interview, Lee. It made my week.
Lee you're interviews are by far the most in depth and laid back I have seen! We really get to know the artist, completely different league to interviews elsewhere. Top stuff, keep it up and thanks very much!
CaptAnderton Awesome !
*Sees Capt Meets JP video* - "YES!!!"
*Sees video is two hours long* "YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!"
same hahaha
this is the best thing to ever wake up to lol
It's a prog length interview :D
😄 Brilliant! And my thought exactly! 😄
I too am elated.. but sadly I have to break it up into 30 minute doses.. time is money afterall.. or at least time is time I could be sleeping
Dang... there goes two hours out of my working day!
good thing this works as podcast, at least that's how I listen to these
Samma här :S
That's what we want to hear :) Enjoy!
Well, I'm working while watching it actually xD
EPIC !
Mr. Petrucci is a genuinely good man. There is no arrogance about him. No duplicity. He's down-to-earth and kind. And one hell of a guitarist!
"The last thing you want is like a flubby, loose bottom end. Thats not only in the sound, but as a person." ~ JP, 2017
1:04:56
You gotta love him!
I laughed out loud at that. Hilarious.
2 hours with Guitar Jesus? You've shattered all expectations.
tharris3600 this is the best comment ever! Why is it not top comment?
Then who is guitar God?
David Gilmour?
Chelonia Mydas Danish Pete?
you're confused, this episode is with John Petrucci, not Guthrie Govan
greekfreak1980 He's Italian so more accurately Guitar Jupiter but he's really got the Norse look down so Guitar Odin?
The Captain needs to have Eric Johnson for an interview about gear secrets and what his tone inspirations are, please upvote this so the captain can see it :)
Play a Strat, mix of Marshall and Fender Amps, and roll off the treble.... It's not rocket science.... Those three things will get you 90% of the way there.
I'm not saying you will sound *exactly* like the guy, of course not, but saying the above tips will get you a majority of the way there.
I have an autographed pickguard of his 3 feet from me. You get a like for your request!
A Musicman MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!
A Musicman
Yess please!!!
I would love to see Cap meets Devin Townsend
Juanma Perera yes definitely
Hell, get the real Townsend.. Pete should live nearby by, Yes .. or perhaps I mean who?
No offense to the great Pete Townshend, but Devin's better.
Please
Might want to consider getting Chappers in the room on that one as well, would be the most hilarious interview ever. I'd watch two hours of that, and more.
I love how he's so comfortable saying: "Yeah I don't know the answer to that" When a statement is being made. An open mind like that seems like a rare occurrence on YT
I know people are already saying this ... but this is how you know Petrucci is the nicest dude. He took his time with this interview, he intently listens to the captain, and there is no arrogance whatsoever about anything he says or does. I love this guy so much and he deserves every bit of legendary status he procures.
Yes
Rick Beato and The Capt in one week? John is killing it!
Maybe the best clean sound for metal I've ever heard!
Lee... thanks for all those great interviews. That relaxed style of talking to great musicians in _human mode_ instead of _celebrity mode_, off the beaten path and the usual questions of fans and magazines, until what started as an interview becomes simply two musicians chatting about their passion is rare, refreshing, and very much appreciated. Greetings from Austria!
I love this interview. I feel that John Petrucci often gets very miscast as a player. People often focus on him being this amazingly fast and technically proficient virtuoso guitarist. And don't get me wrong he is that and that's impressive enough on its own but he's more than that. He's also a player with a fantastic sense of melody and phrasing who can make the most beautiful chord progressions and some absolutely monstrous riffs. The guy is a true master of the guitar and he's also incredibly humble and comes off as a really nice cool guy.
he could have been the greatest modern jazz guitarist
I love how John tells his story. He's full of humility, but also oozing with skills...and facial hair.
The point where John says" One thing i don't like is timid players"..... To Lee Anderton.....
I feel you....
@Eric Byrd He isn't anywhere near as good as he used to be when playing the much better sounding Ibanez. I have just bought a Jem floral from 1990 and it sounds better than these Majesty guitars and the other Ernie Ball guitars he has been using.
@@MICKEYISLOWD i just bought another ibanez and as much as i love it to death because im still in the honeymoon phase with it, I wouldn't try to deny the greatness of his majesty line.
Mickeyislowd yea..he hasnt progressed as a player in 20yrs cuz the guitar isnt as good 🤦🏽♂️
He is the man who with his guitar rig regulate the energy output of the sun, remember those videos? Anybody become “timid” before him.
The Captain meets Jimi Hendrix please!!!
are you being serious
Nico Rios Cardona I'm not sure if that's possible
Nico Rios Cardona it is only if you believe hard enough
Nico Rios Cardona than he has to meat philip Sayce
Make sure the ventilation is working well.
It's extra long cuz Dream Theater
김우진 Literally the best comment here, haha
김우진 hahaha
lol
Too right 😂
If it's not longer than the commercial norm, it's just not Dream Theater.
What a great guy. Not only an amazing player , probably the best guitarist of the world right now , but a very nice person. HE MANAGE HIS OWN AMP AND SOUND. great great video.
What does Maddie do?
John is so down to earth. You can tell he's a caring type person, even if it wouldn't be about music. He seems to be so open about what ever the subject maybe.
HOLY SHIT WHAT NO WAY THIS IS REAL
1:38:39 to hear John do a big gulp BTW
Filthy Pete the Internet Peasant hawt
didn't expect john to be this chatty. This is a real treat !
Oussama Okbi I was thinking that too - JP is like Mr Chitty chat chat ha ha ha
I swear I can hear Rabea having a pull in the corner.
So, this was a comment from 2 years ago, and I've come back after 2 years of pondering. And I'm here to say:
What the fuck
I haven't been this hard since my sister got donkey punched.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is that you patrick rafter?
Hahahaha. It’s rare a comment makes me laugh but you my friend succeeded and I read as John was chugging away 😂
It took the Majesty demo to encourage me to spend 2 hours watching this, but what a great interview! John Petrucci is just amazingly impressive, not just in his playing, but his personality. How many huge guitar heroes would generously give hours of his time for a TH-cam interview? I suspect, not many. Many people could learn from this.
I'm not a huge DT fan at all, but he seems like such a wonderful human being that I just had to watch the whole thing. That man truly loves his music and his fans. You can tell he's not acting or pretending to be down to earth. He really is.
As John grows more powerful....so does his beard.
Very Samson-like.
Well of course! It's the source of his power.
Same as Zakk lol
Every cord he has played in one of his songs he has a hair for
Still waiting for him to join the metal santa club with Tom Araya and Al Cisneros
I like that Petrucci is so down to earth and not showing off at all...
john always manages to play exactly what i want to hear with his solos. whatever i want to come next does its insane
I know exactly what you mean 🤣
Is that a bad thing tho? If a musician plays everything as expected, doesn't that lose the element of surprise? I like John because he plays things out of my expecation, and I think that's what makes him a great musician
@@jimyang8824 I guess some people find comfort in expected things happening. He could also mean that JP always delivers the style he likes, but the element of surprise is still there.
just wonderful to seat and listen to a humble guy talking about his passion and success
John is the man. Humble. Incredible. I've been listening since Images and Words. They are THE BEST BAND on the planet hands down!!!!
John is probably the best sales man ever for his gear without coming over as a sales man :)
TFW your god tells you to scoop the mids
He just tells ya to listen with your ears not your eyes.
Gear Gods LOL
I believe in to each ther own though. If someone likes there own tone, then they do. Sometimes some people want to tone match a bit sometimes though like I do and sometimes I like using my own made tones.
@@SpartanLaserCanon Right. people seem to chase the tone of others. Then everything sounds the same and lacks originality
Beautiful music is in the ear of the beholder.
Hes just such a humble down to earth dude with no ego given hes one of the most talented musicians to come down the pipe over the last 30 years.
Thank you for not letting Chappers get within 100 yards of Petrucci! This interview is both professional & highly instructive. "The good of the many outweighs the good of the few."
Given John's aesthetic, I've always been very wary of him. But I'm so honestly overwhelmed by how mild mannered he is. He seems like one of the most polite, dedicated and intelligent people I've ever come across. His knowledge of every product his name is on is far superior to most who just want the attachment. Truly great interview.
He really is a super mellow dude. Met him after a show, and after some chatting, I straight up asked him if I could have a hug. Sure enough! He's my role model, and I'm so happy he's such a chill guy.
usually how it goes with heavy metal / rock musicians
I have an exam tomorrow but fuck it. I'm gonna watch this 3 times.
That's probably a bad idea, buddy. lol
Onur Uysal you've got company bruh! 😅✌️
10 page research paper on gas turbine blades due tomorrow... here I am.
Amazing mr. Petrucci!!!, please Captain meets the incredible Brian May
The only thing that exceeds John Petrucci's playing and ear is his personality and humbleness. Hands down my favorite Captain interview and video.. great job Captain. The Mesa Boogie Mark JP-2C sounds absolutely beautiful then monstrous and then both at the same time... Boogie knocked it out of the park with that amp.
JPs tone is like drinking the finest wine there is!!!!!
that tone 😍😍😍
Liked and faved before I even started watching.
same here haha
This is by far the best Petrucci interview on youtube
I like the fact he is talking , showing settings, demonstrating everything about his equipment. To bad others didn't do more of this. He is a GREAT GUITARIST that's for damn sure. I love there long songs so much texture and all are phenomenal players. Can you imagine remembering everything that they all play for each song and concert. Just unbelievable!
Hard to imagine a player more inspiring than JP. The way he approaches his technique, his gear, etc. is nothing short of mastery and it's an attitude that you can carry into other aspects of your life.
Welp, now I want a JP boogie head. That thing was fucking magic. Really enjoyed this one, was lost in awe the whole time absorbing all his info. Very well spoken informative guy.
Well I suppose check out the victory range before you make that decision ;p
Cheeaaaahhhh
I had the pleasure of sitting about 10 feet away from him as he did a guitar clinic years ago and man even though most of his concepts went right over my head, i still took away so much. My favorite part was a fan asking "have you ever tried Taking your guitar knowledge and applied it to something other than music" although it kinda stumped him he managed to respond "like what, baking?" It was brilliant
Or the Mark V..... I absolutely love Boogie and would never switch again.... But it is an acquired taste, just like anything else.
Just get a Kemper Profiler
wooooooahhhh. Anderton's is now officially a 5 star TH-cam channel.
Soooo, based on the gear references on this interview alone, a "sound like JP without busting the bank" should be pretty much out of the question.
I got to meet JP and Steve Morse and these guys are just so down to earth in every way. I talked to John about his Ibanez days and he was so gracious and willing to just talk.
What a great musician, guitarist. intelligent and humble person.
"and Sterling put hand cream on my arm......"
you should invite rick graham!
was just thinking that! Rick is a true beast...
Fernando Moreno does he have any signature gear that Lee can sell...?
David Tomkins he's an Ibanez artist isn't he? Must be an angle somewhere :)
I don't think he is.
***** he met guthrie so the cap is ready to meet anyone lol
SECRETARY, CLEAR MY SCHEDULE!!
Not really a DT fan at all but I find myself clicking on these JP interview because he seems like such nice dude to hang out with. Gentle demeanour. Always listens attentively to his interviewers, is polite and seems happy to be there. And of course he has a wealth of guitar knowledge and experience, so there is always something to learn.
JP is probably the most inspiring guitarist that has lived yet. Always evolving and focused. He has all of the packages. 👌🏻
I got into DT when Guthrie Golan transcribed the solo to Under a Glass Moon in Guitar Techniques magazine. I still have it.
GOVAN!
Alan Angel - Guthrie had flu when he transcribed that solo for GT and STILL nailed it perfectly. The bastard!
Love this. Would have paid gladly $40 for a VHS tape of this interview back in '94
JAFO-PTY Please, for JP you have to get the Betamax to fully appreciate his beard 😂
Oh hell yeah man!! Well said
94 - Awake - my favorite album
Wow, didn't see this coming at all.
As a fellow Long Islander (South Shore baby!), I'm proud of the way John conducts himself, an absolute gentleman.
True. Grew up in KP. He was always a nice, unpretentious person. Greetings to the Southern State Prkway.
I like how relaxed John is when he plays and even before I saw this video I had a feeling he was really a respectful and humble guy , like most of the 'Very" best guitar players seem have the humble quality, it's stunning to see these kids coming up and play some of John's music almost note for note and I'm glad John has a Mesa Boogie with his name on it .
every time JP plays you can see Lee's mind getting blown.
The Captain Meets Richie Kotzen!
THAT would be great indeed!
Yes pleaaaassssseeeeee
"Engage the shred" -John Petrucci (2017)
John is so thoughtful in his approach to creating music, playing guitar, building tones, rhythms, melodies and songs. He speaks with as much thought as he plays. What an incredible gentleman. It's great to see one of the greatest guitarists of all time have such a well-grounded personality. Very refreshing.
I got to meet Mr. Petrucci at a meet and greet the other week. He was awesome! He signed my strat pickguard, dream theater cd's and got a signed photo of him!
two fuckin hours of John Petrucci, this is unreal
Looked at the length, thought "2hrs is too bloody long". At the end I was hoping there was a part two just as long. Absolutely epic and great that JP was such a cool dude.
Captain meets Richie Kotzen next, that would be as awesome as JP.
The Captain Meets is a really awesome series! I would love to see Steve Lukather on here!
brilliant interview. Captain, you are so right, John is so humble and an incredible player.. Pull Me Under brings me to tears.
The Captain meets Yngwie
Just IMAGINE THAT for a second
Joseph Quinlan Rob would probably have a fanboy meltdown if that happened
After this one, I started to believe this might actually happen.
Malmsteem is such a huge dork I don't thing the Captain would enjoy it
Currently imagining a boring wankfest of arpeggios and massive egos and I'm not liking it
You just triggered a population of Yngwie haters.
that beard has the power to bring world peace
Thx Captain. This has to be the best interview to date. JP is such a nice dude. Not a hint of arrogance what so ever. I have copied his amp settings but I still don't sound like him. Funny that 😜
There's less shame in dying in the field of battle than there is not sounding like Petrucci.
Ian Thornley is my 2nd fav
Half the tone is in his fingers
@@Crovax that's a myth
Yup! yeah, right, uh-huh, yup, yeah....
To sit with a guy of this caliber and have him always portray a calm, pleasant regular guy personality is awesome. John your an amazing player.
This is him . I see him a few times a year at our local grocery store and talk a bit. He is always very cool and down to earth.
Of all the rock musicians, I have always found JP is the humblest. He is always so cool and gentlemen.
Just a lovely guy, with such good heart! It's clear he came for a reason to this world, and he's been filling his destiny with style, riding high. Thanks for all the best!
I love you John Petrucci, so humble and smart. And a great salesman too, now I NEED a Majesty guitar! hahahah
Throwback to when the Captain challenged Jared Dines to a shred war, and Jared still hasn't responded. What's up with that, Lee?
Salty Sea Pickle I'm being totally serious, think that Lee would thrash him
Considering Jared gets destroyed in 90% of his videos, yeah.
Wow, best video in Andertons. Petrucci is a genius in all he does. All his gear rocks hard.
What a genuine humble guy. Him and guitarists of his era are a dying breed
The Captain meets Brent Hinds? Oh my god that would be hilarious.
Dick Baguette yes! Or with troy sanders, he's such a funny dude and he has the voice of Morgan freeman XD
Dick Baguette ... hilarious idea
His story is so damn inspiring. Sadly, too late for me now but I hope kids give this a watch and and take something from it.
Richard Littlewood it's never too late
Connor Agnew I agree!
Congratulations at being the best guitar chanel around. Please keep doing 2 hour interviews with amazing guys.
Probably the best interviewe yet. JP is such a awesome human being. Well done JP for more musicians like you!
With John's success and abilities, it is inspirational to see how humble and open he is to sharing how he arrived at his accomplishments. Thank you captain for providing an open environment and some good questioning to let us get a better understanding of amazing musicians.
man its not only the amazing guitar skills petrucci has that makes me love him but his sense of humour too. he is just so down to earth and i just love him and his playing more than anything else.
Captain meets Steve Lukather, or Pete Thorn:D!! It would be awesome!!
I love JP. He seems like the kind of guy you can sit down with and have a few beers and he’s this god actually listening to what you have to say yet teaching you so much if you listen.
So refreshing to see such a humble, friendly and down to earth guitar god. Great interview
Meets John Myung - (Guest interviewer Dave Hollingworth :D)
John is such a humble and down to earth guy.
many many many years I dreamed that one day John Petrucci will be on the show, this is fantastic.
Ok, next one Alex Lifeson!!!!!!
Captain meets Andy James
Love the interview. Big Dream Theater and John Petrucci fan. I own a Majesty and a JP-2C...best sounding equipment on the planet. Going to the John Petrucci Guitar Universe in August...can't wait!
JP is such a nice dude. No heirs or graces, no prima donna bullshit attitude... Just an everyday guy with not-so-everyday musical ability.
After all these years johns nerdy passion for playing and gear still hasn't changed I love it, people here saying he's not has good has he used to be blah blah blah, who the fuck cares ? He doesn't need to be, hes payed his dues and given loads to the world, and I very much doubt you will ever be half the man he is when it comes to being a decent human being.
thankyou captain for another top notch interview.
Captain meets Robert Fripp?
dat tone with that delay doe holy shit
One of my heroes! Petrucci's such a good player and a chill dude!
I love the intro. Like he leaves us hanging until the resolution. So satisfying
