JOHN PETRUCCI 1999 Ibanez Clinic
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ค. 2022
- Me and My Dad went to Finland to catch this clinic since he didn't go through Sweden in October of 1999.
My dad ended up filming the whole thing HAND held . Filmed on a Panasonic digital camera.
IF YOU CAN'T SEE THE VIDEO it's because it's been demonetized, rightfully so since I'm uploading someone else's musical works. However that might mean that the video won't be available in certain regions/countries.

1 hour and 42 minutes hand filming! Jesus Christ, props to your father for providing us with this gem!
And six seconds.. after 1:42:00 every second matters
I did the same for a Buckethead Chicago concert a few years ago. Not worth it lol, has like 2k views on TH-cam.
Jesus Christ is Lord.
jesus... my arm hurts just thinking about this
Woah..it is actually hidden gem of guitar knowledge that might be unreplay again...
Petrucci's tone in this era was god-tier. The Ibanez + the original IIC+s = heaven
He's using the Triaxis + 2:90 in this video though ;)
@@FedericoMK I think you're right yeah. good spot!
@@FedericoMK Yup, Triaxis.
Never got why when JP talks about his past tone he says it was immature... it was just perfect.
@@francescopomona2086 Where have you heard him say that?
He truly is one of the best guitarists.
My favorite Petrucci/DT era. The music, the tone, the guitars. It was perfection.
same here
What era was this? Like what range of albums?

@@bcbitchkkv Thank you!
Seeing him with that guitar is so nostalgic.
Thank you Ola and cinematographer Papa Englund for this valuable historical ARTIFACT of the guitar world circa 1999.
Little did John know that in the audience that day was a young lad who would go on to be the world's greatest TH-camr
Wow, In the same audience as Ola too. Amazing. Who is he?😅

What a cool dad you have. Thanks for uploading this. And. I WAS THERE MAN. And for me, this clinic was one of the pivotal points in a 16-year-old dude's guitar-playing career. I wasn't that familiar with Dream Theater or John Petrucci prior to this, but a high school buddy of mine and his older brother were going and they asked me to come along (the brothers were very much into music, they had a band near Helsinki, a drummer and a guitarist, much like Van Halen - a shout out to Lustig brothers if you're reading this!). Up to this point I'd been a huuuge metallica fan and Kirk was the guy for me. After this night everything changed. John pointed me the way of practicing with a metronome, going for smaller Jazz III picks, learning scales, an overall more methodological and paying your dues approach to guitar. I even installed a DiMarzio Air Norton in my RG. The mere down to earth presence of John was so captivating.
After the clinic was over, John was there to sign autographs for us outside the auditorium. I got into the long queue to wait to my turn. I noticed the guy in front of me had a guitar with him. When it finally was my turn, I didn't know much to say other than a mere "Hi", but John handled it cool and signed a black-and-white Ibanez promo shot for me. Later when I looked at the signature, it was Petrucci signature alright but also a giant silver marker test scribble that John had done before signing the guys guitar in front of me. My buddies later teased me "what's that on your signature". What unique piece that was.
23 years later, I still vividly remember moments from the clinic. Like that brave guy who walks up cold and tests John's gear in front of 200 like-minded poeple. That must've been a little hand-shaky moment. And when John was asked what he thought his weaknesses were.
I've been waiting for this to be uploaded ever since I read in some old Dream Theater / guitar message board that there was a full bootleg of the clinic. Perhaps Ola himself commented this back in the day. Thanks for uploading it man!
Good times man. I remembered the signing as well, I remembered no one dared to walk up to him when I was there so I just snuck through and had him sign my SFAM album.
@@OlaEnglund Hi Ola, with your dad playing jazz etc, what did he think of John's playing?
Great tale of an encounter with this most influential of guitarists. I saw JP at a clinic in Melbourne Australia maybe 10 years ago. John was here because G3 were doing their first visit to Australia. I think the positive reception convinced, because DT itself had its first Australian tour not long afterwards.
Was nerve wracking meeting my idols including JP of course, but like you I got something signed; in my case the live 'Score' DT DVD. Gee, DVD, time has flown...
@@OlaEnglund Cool Ola! I had John sign the back of the headstock on my JPM P3... that I foolishly sold to fund the new EBMM. The EBMM was an excellent guitar... but it never quite fit me like the JPM did. I still miss that Ibanez!
When reading this comment I imagined John Petrucci as a giant hulking monster signing your paper. But he wasn't yet. He was a little skinny fella
Still my favorite Petrucci guitar. The MM's are amazing but being an old school fan - its just classic to see him with a picasso ibanez
@@dennis4113 it's his old rig
I also really like his old Ibanez custom. But as a huge Ibanez fan, I must say his JP music man model ends up being as cool as the old JPM ibby, however the Majesty one is... just wierd.
THIS is the John Petrucci guitar image that really suits him.
Sorry EBMM, love your guitars.
But THIS is THE guitar that started everything.
Thanks for the upload Ola.
Black mirror, I agree to a large extent. But more than just the gear change, I miss JP's willingness to play things that are less 'metal'. There are all sorts of jazzy bits that JP used to play that simply don't seem part of his current stylistic make-up.
I also miss the JP from this Ibanez era who was known to sometimes have 'solo spots' during DT shows that were almost completely unaccompanied and mostly without much in the way of effects. I'm thinking here of the awesome solo spot in the 'Five Years in a LIVETime' concert recording from the Derek Sherinian phase of DT. JP's technique and his control are on full display because rather than his more recent solo spots that are likely coated like treacle in delay and sugary keyboard pad accompaniment; this spot is raw, often without any delay or reverb.
Many of us also look at JP's famous bit at the end of 'To Live Forever' from the 'Live in Tokyo' concert as an example of just how broad and wide JP's improvising CAN be, but doesn't seem to be these days.
@@DanielVerberne Absolutely.
One hundred percent agree.
It really seems that Petrucci somehow manage to lock himself inside a persistent and almost mathematical world of reverb and delays that tuneled his way of playing.
Not saying he is a bad player, of course he’s not, but he is just not that expansive same Petrucci from “Awake” and “scenes from a memory”.
They should really let him release a Picasso musicman
@@DanielVerberne totally. He was way more jazzy and creative with his improvisations at that time.
@@DanielVerberne i started noticing the change in his playing style by the time he joined the G3 jams.
Dang! that guy who got the balls to try to attemp playing paradigm shift is hella lucky. He got the chance to not only hold john petrucci's ibanez in 1999 the peak of dream theater but he got the opportunity to play it and get taught by John himself. Man what a lucky guy
I can't wait for the part where he teaches us how to control the temperature of the sun with his amp, and even more excited for killzone mode
Best DT era, best Petrucci’s Tone ever.
Your dad is a hero for filming the whole clinic without a stand
Hey Ola, love all your vids man. Thank you for sharing this.
Just if you wanna hear the songs that he played here on this video.

@@kraunchmontozin Done, my friend. Thanks
you know its good when you see the 4:3 aspect ratio
love this old videos
This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen. Petrucci is one of my biggest influences and it’s so cool to see him in a clinic from the late 90’s with an Ibanez. Absolutely amazing!
To me this is John at his best, I really digged the late 90s vibe, I was a kid and that was exactly what I wanted to look (and hopefully play) like once grown! And what great music he managed to put out in those few years, two LTE, Scenes from a Memory, An Evening with JP & JR... I should've convinced my father to take me to his clinic in Italy, I was planning to go to the autumn 2001 one, but it was canceled last minute for obvious reasons... Thanks for sharing this gem, lots of nostalgia! ♥
the good old Ibanez days, for me his best sound , both his playing and his equipment
So awesome you uploaded this Ola, I bet you never thought years later you would be interviewing The mighty Petrucci on a coffee with Ola 👍 it’s become full circle 🤘
Petrucci In dazzling shape! The precision and hand reactivity just incredible, a pioneer, you see a lot of guitarist and clearly you can see where came from!👌🏻…
I remember Dream Theater was playing a show in Oslo around 2002 and I friend of mine and I were skipping school to attend Petrucci's guitar clinic at the local guitar shop in Oslo. We arrived and the guard told us we were the last two to be let in, (phew!). During the guitar clinic Petrucci there was a Q and A. Almost everyone raised their hands eagerly in the air to ask some technical question and for some reason he picked me to go first. I had absolutely no question prepared so I just winged it and asked: "Uhm... so how was it like to play with Steve Vai?". I could hear the collective sigh of annoyance from all the other guitar nerds in the room but John seemed more than happy to answer that "Oh, it was great". The other nerds got their questions answered eventually though, including my friend who had prepared a whole list in a notebook. Great clinic, cool guy, good times.
This guitar clinic by Petrucci is amazing how much depth he has when playing music you just forget where you are for the time being ❤🔥
Favorite guitarist of all time. His playing and song writing is amazing
Thx Ola... So much wonderful memories... John was so amazing. Probably the most beautiful and inspired period ! LTE 1, 2 and falling into infinity are master class of my favorite John playing...❤
This is an absolute gem, thank you so much for sharing Ola!
This is incredible! It’s even more inspiring to see a 1999 clinic like this uploaded of my biggest inspiration 🎸. I can’t imagine what it would’ve been like to have witnessed this in person. Thank you for uploading Ola! 👍💯
Shout out to Papa Englund's great camerawork for almost 2h.
This is a jewel! Please deeply thank your dad for filming it, and thank you so much for sharing it!
Thank you so much Ola for sharing this material, it's amazing. I agree that this was the best Petrucci tone ever and a big reason why the classic DT albums sound so great... how he fills the room with his guitar, the "orchestration method", is awesome.
Man, this takes me back. Thank you for the upload. It doesn’t matter if JP plays EBMM for the next 100 years, the Ibanez JPM + Triaxis days were IT for me.
Agreed. Petrucci has always had a fantastic guitar sound, but the Ibanez JPM into his old Mesa rack rig was simply magical.
@@AdrianNWB I agree, also it could also be his playing as well? i feel like the notes, modes, scales in his phrasing or whatever he used back then gave it such a unique sound. It captured the time and gave DT that magical, mystic and dreamy sound that we all remember fondly.
Nailed everything, what a performance, thanks for sharing Ola! 🙏🙏
Just finished watching the whole thing. JP is one of my biggest influences. Thank you for uploading the footage with minimal editing.
yessssss thank you for this. I really enjoy watching these just for nostalgia's sake.
this is awesome props to your dad for filming this especially for this long!
Thanks Ola..and your Dad of course!!
No doubt you love for music and guitar is so sincere.I love the way you interview your coleagues, and mainly Jen , and you Pantera stuff , the news, the hardware trial videos, and your joking stye..
Thanks for all ..
This is iconic!!!
Thank you for posting this video. I love 90’s Petrucci
Thank you so much for sharing this, it was my favorite Petrucci period
This is gold. Thank you so much for posting!!
Hey Ola. Thanks for this and a HUGE thanks to your dad. Big repsect to pops 👍👍
Awesome! I can't wait to watch this later. Thanks for uploading it, and thanks to your dad for filming it.
OMG!, that tone !!
John's finest music times. You feel something special with that Ibanez, Mesa, and that amazing..Amazing!! feeling playing guitar.
Thanks OLa😍
I know this guy's mindset very well.. he didnt sip the water because he was thirsty, or even for general hydration... he did it to lubricate the tendons in his hands and fingers, lol. Love this guy, and one day, yes, we will have an arm wrestle... lol (inside joke, if he's reading this, he'll know) : ) (Hint John - Glen Cove Mansion). Awesome hand held vid, thanks for posting this Ola, and yep, I have a Randall Satan 50W head, (and gifted it to my awesome son.... because he's very persuasive) lol
This is so cool! And also still my favourite era of Petrucci tone - Thanks for sharing!
Petrucci playing Ibanez guitars😎🤘😎🤘his best period imho - THANK YOU Mr. Englund for this invaluable piece of history🙏
Thanks for preserving this, man. Love stuff like this!
Man, this is a gem; the sound in this video is so good, quite amazing for that time for a live cam recording.
Props to your pops!! Thanks for uploading this what a treat ✨
Thank you Ola for uploading this gem and props to your dad for the stamina and patience! Video and audio quality are outstanding ❤️
Eternal thanks for uploading this video 🙏
Thank you so much for this master Ola and papa Englund!
I love how he just shreds on the guitar while speaking to the audience but isnt even paying attention to it or realizing it 😆 michael romeo always did that in his old vids too. Just nervous probably. And probably still sounds 10x better than anything i can do if it were plugged in 😆
Give a guitarist a guitar to have in their hands and they'll feel less socially awkward and be able to concentrate better despite random noodling.
@@AJPMUSIC_OFFICIAL i bring my guitar to parties sometimes "to jam" but really its my coping mechanism to do just that lol
No way Ola. This is a huge service to everyone. Also so funny that you came to Finland to see John! I loved those Ibanez art guitars, one of the most unique and recognizable.
Ola thank you so much. This is just awesome and your awesome and we’re all awesome 🤩
Divine and priceless, 23 years ago, just a magic man very simple and cooooooool
Tx for uploading this !
Reguards
Always lovef JPs Ibanez era, it was heavier and had more feelings somehow, can't explain
Thanks a ton Ola for sharing this gem!!
Thanks so much for sharing this gem Ola.
Ola, this makes me so, so happy. Thank you (and your dad) so much for this footage!!
Sometimes i miss the 90's a lot. Cooler days... the CD days. When we would buy CD's and get good surprises by many bands. Amazing times. Very little internet, way more into playing guitar, spending lots of time with it.
the best video you've upload on your entire channel :) thanks so much for this!
Go dad!!!! This is awesome!!!!! Thank you for sharing Ola!
wow, what a gem. thanks to you and your dad!
So awesome man! Thank you so much for uploading this. Primetime Petrucci. GOLD stuff right here!
Yesssss, thank you both 🙏🏻 💖
Wow that is a flashback in time for sure .. your father is an excellent camera man... Not much into dream theater but John is amazing guitarist.. seems very humble too... Have to check out the band ....thanks for loading this up....
Thanks Ola for uploading this gem!
Ola you rock! Thanks for sharing this amazing piece of guitar history!!!
First proper guitar clinic I went to, this was so awesome (and still is). Thanks for sharing the video!
Thanks for sharing this!!
I have the Rock Discipline DVD as well, John is an excellent teacher...
I could listen to John talk about guitar and gear all day, such a wealth of experience and knowledge and genuinely a nice guy.
Awesome! Thanks for uploading, Ola!
blast from the past!
and still blowing minds
lucky kids
thanks ola!
and ola's pop
Cheers for sharing this! That tone sure is the best JP ever produced, not to mention those gorgeous guitars.
Thanks so much for this, Ola.
It's really inspiring to me to see someone playing guitar with a backing track like I wanna do but all the way back in the year of my birth, just goes to show that doing it all yourself isn't such a modern phenomenon afterall!
Cheers for this. Not seen it all the way through yet but I love this content!
Thanks for this, Ola and Dad Sir!
Ola THANK YOU for this man this is so awesome
Thanks for the upload, Ola! To think you got to meet and interview him recently - loved your content since the FearedSE days.. so happy for you man. Also, massive props to you dad for filming this gem :D
this is _so_ awesome, thank you so much!!
Wow what a memory! I was in the Italian one. It was the night DT released Scenes From a Memory. After the show we went to a pub waiting for midnight to hear the album… and Petrucci came too.
It was a pity that they did not allow us to film the clinic. In the previous clinic tour I made a video bootleg too. Soo cool!
Thank you ola for giving this to us
Incredible thank you! JP was just effortless back in these days. He is still amazing of course, but it seems like he was so much more accurate in the Ibanez days. I think he may have still practiced a lot more then
Thank you very much Ola. Realizing this clinic was the one held in Finland, I was also part of the audience.
Amazing times... :') Thank you Ola!
So good! Love seeing new old content! thanks!
this is an amazing window to the past. thanks, mate.
It is amazing how good JP is. Thanks for sharing Ola! 🤘😎
This is amazing! Your dad is so cool for filming all of this for you!! God I wish awesome stuff like this happened when I was in school!
He did something similar at Musician's Institute that same year. So lucky to have caught it. Love that your dad filmed this. It was certainly worth it.
Petrucci is the man!!! What an awesome guitarist and person, so humble and down to earth.
It has been a long time since I have encountered the charm of Petrucci in his Ibanez days.
The pickups will probably be DiMarzio DP193 Air Norton ＆ DP161F Steve’s Special.
Thank you for sharing Ola!
I like JP in all eras, but Ibanez IaW/Awake/LTE era is the best for me.
I decided to throw a Steve’s Special and an Air Norton S (the single coil sized version of the Air Norton) in my Ibanez RG565 reissue that I bought last year. Even through my main high gain amp isn’t a Mesa (I use a Revv Generator 120), those pickups definitely get me in the ballpark of classic ‘90s Petrucci tones.
I'd say these are the pickups Petrucci used to play back then. I have the same combination on my '98 RG and it's just perfect to match his tones (to the best of my abilities 😅).
@@AdrianNWB good job man! I bet you sound amazing!
@@pablomilano7320 Thanks! Is my tone amazing? Yes, but my playing could use some more work lol!
Thank you so much for this 🥰
Thankx for this amazing video!
Nice of you to attend a clinic of one of the greatest guitarists of his generation.
Oh man, this is so awesome!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Thank you Ola :-) This made my day!
Ola your dad is a god for holding the camera perfectly and zooming into parts perfectly. Kudos 👌👍
