Every teacher ever : "playing guitar requires a lot of theory and knowledge on how to play gracefully"
John Petrucci : "haha guitar go wee woo"
Alternate title: John Petrucci of Dream Theater breaks down a Slayer solo
Does anybody know what type of beard he's using?
baahahaha
kratos beard
hahaha!!!
Santa Claus Mark II.
Heavily hair dyed.
"Eheheheheh, that's fun."
such an adorable guy
Axel Ytreberg in this lesson he behaves like a child, i love it
Axel Ytreberg My heart got really warm and I smiled when he did this and I felt sympathy for my friends because I knew I'm going to remind them of this maybe eceryday and act like a 14 yo fangirl lol
Holy shit, phil´s voice is lower than my income😂
New wave of British Heavy Metal Holy fuck hahahah
Imagine how fun it is to be this good
john petrucci from zztop
Gianmarco Garcia Giglio Petrucci and ZZ Top, Petrucciztop!
1:57 - 2:06...that tone is breath-taking, and the articulation of the notes is so clean! Not fast playing there, but none the less, 9/10 guitarists would've allowed a buzz to occur when going from the B to the E and vice-versa, Petrucci has the whole muting thing down!
That's when he demonstrated Holdsworth
guess im not the 9/10 whoops . . .
What a freaking beast this guy is
Bear. That's what beast he is.
Yep a hairy beast :)
beard
Step 3: Draw the rest of the fucking owl
The10000lbGorilla an owl that's funny
It's always surprising and fascinating how many hard core musicians could look like they're just gonna grab you and punch your face or even hearing their names makes you think they could just hit you with a guitar, but then you start to hear them talk off stage and realise they're some of the nicest most gentle guys.
Strange sentiment. But you know a guy with a beard that long isn't going to get far in a fight unless it's a fake beard
@@LeeGee guys with that long beard don't fight. They shoots
I love that reverb isn't that popular on youtube but they still have the best content. keep up the good work!
can one tell me how I may purchase a MusicMan Beard?
Simon... No purchase necessary. They're free. Just throw away your razor.
Flick it to get the the cricket
Flick it! Flick it!
Fktitktkititiittkikitk
Back to plucking our G-string
@@perojalenarddeniel5574 "pling"
Calalalalalalalalalala
Petrucci looks like a younger Santa Claus
AlpaQ more like gandalf tho
Petrucci created Santa...
Cat stevens
Tom Araya could be his dad
He IS Santa[shhh!]@@AriVD
I fucking broke a string fluttering like him at the start AAAGH
Before you play like him, you need to go to the gym, and grow a beard.
Beefcake 4000 required!
Have killed a Balrog yet son? This is definitely part of the training process.
Novander the lesson is never try whatever he does
if you broke a string check the saddle of the string. I bet you find a burr you can catch with your fingernail. #1 reason breaking a string. When you were agitating the whammy bar the string just shifted and it caused it to cut it at point a sharp edge is. It will always be the area where the string breaks that there is a problem. Notice a string never breaks in the middle unless there is a bend in the string. It always happens at either a saddle or nut.
I have a telecaster
Why does i'm watching that video?
You can put a bigsby on there!
John patruci on a bixby😂😂😂😂😂
I put a Floyd i my tele lol
Why does you English bad so much
Saw them perform scenes of a memory last year. One of the most amazing things I'd ever seen. His playing was unbelievable. Didn't know weither to practice more or quit!
More practice
he's trying to give a small lesson and all people talk about is his beard...
Why do you talk about his beard?
+Steve Gould I'm not im saying other people do lol
Actually, he is not giving a lesson, he is trying to sell his products. You easily see his endorsed products all over the room and sitting on top of his amp, standing up so you can see what he is using very easily. He even spends a few minutes talking up his newest model of guitar right in your face. Take the video for what it is.
Because his beard is more interesting than silly whammy bar tricks.
Well.. This comment section is quiet funny..
okay, what tuning is that beard in? is it an active or passive one?
Glitchmob Couture 6-strings are tuned to B-E-A-R-D-O and 7-strings to B-E-A-R-D-O-N
well, considering it’s always plugged in, it looks like it’s passive. not sure about the tuning
It's high alpha obviously
I think his beard is a 7,000 to 15,000 string...
Active. Boosts the mids.
2:04 That TONE 😍
No matter how many signature models you get, your best guitar will always be that colorful Ibanez of yours you used in the 90's, so raw and powerful!If only you would go on tour with that, i would be so grateful!!
Be careful expressing opinions on the internet, might get in an argument.
1:58 is my favourite whammy bar application
thegatesofsleep likewise!
His beard is hypnotic
1:57 transforming to Steve Vai
It is lydian mode has nothing to do with certain person
@@apriyudapratama2543 I'm actually adressing more to his whammy bar playing
So is the beard a part of his rig now?
I met Petrucci last month. Nice guy
Next time tell him his beard is teaching guitar lessons in youtube.
You don’t meet John Petrucci, he meets you.
Nice. Wish I could I love this guys playing
Bo Shredd why can’t you lmao
One of my favorite guitarist! 👍
I play guitar. This man plays guitar. But we do not play the same instrument.
I am always blown away by his technique. But it almost seems more like an athletic event than music to me.
Nick paflas Yeah exactly, like I see him as a god, but I'd still rather listen to some simple Frusciantesque/Mayerisch chord progression.
His technique is rare
Style is unique
He is god
nah, his compositions are amazing. He's not just a robot shredder. He's an all-round master
John is such a master and nice guy! The professor !
he's hairier every time i see him
"Majesty beard" is a part of his rig
it's been said before but he's eventually going to become a pair of eyes surrounded by hair, his skin will soon be hidden completely
Lol Cousin Itt with eyeballs
MusicMaing pretty much
Next time, his amps and guitars will be hairy.
I saw Dream Theater play live a couple of years ago and they are just an incredible band live!
I love the fact that he aknowledge the musicians he picked up these techniques from!
I don't even have a whammy bar
Do you have a beard though?
Nick Sm I'm and adult male so obviously.
Nick Sm im an adult asian....so no beard...
+haventgotoverit
oh hi mr myung
I'm gonna be the one person who makes a Quake 3 reply. You knew one of us would do this.
That lead tone is POWERFUL
My favourite black Santa-claus bearded guitarist.
Kilty MacBagpipe you mean a black bearded santa clause guitarist? Not a black santa clause with a black beard ://///
🎅🏿
Santa got an alternate skin?????
2:26 "So i always say, you know, with your whammy technique as far as vibrato, is that you wanna try to go for this smooth... thing..."
At least he is beast at playing the guitar, instead of talking about it
I personally love the Music Man bridge now more than the Floyd Rose. Both are great, but I love that I don't have to worry about the stupid locking nut and locking bridge. I can do all the tricks with the Music Man bridge and never go out of tune either. But, It's neat that they offer this for people who want a JP Model with Floyd though.
I agree with you on the music man bridge. I bring my JP60 from standard to drop D all the time with no tuning issues. I had difficulty doing this in the past with locking nut / tuners.
Makes sense for Music Man to make a model w/ a floyd though, there's plenty of other options with their bridge.
So this musicman tremolo is floating like floyd rose right ? Can go up and down
Dudes insane! I personally like a fixed bridge but I gotta admit whammies are fun to mess with.
Love reverb just joined yesterday!!! Legendary Tone!!!
he sounds very modest when he mention EVH and Satriani.. i respect these guitar legends including Petrucci.
5 minutes of Whammy bar and not a single dimebag squeal??!! Did they all forget about it on youtube haha.
Dime got it from VH and Vai.
EthnHayabusa Yes but it is still not in the video, and it was dimebag's signature move.
Sure, Dime did it a lot. Just a decade after Vai and Eddie. Petrucci probably just didn't get it from him, so why would he mention Dime? He didn't call the bar flutter the Brad Gillis. ;)
Nothing against Dime. Hell of a player.
EthnHayabusa My point is that this technic does not appear in the video. Do you get it now?
Teve q trocar a guitarra pq aquela não afina mais
Truuuu
It's always nice to hear someone so well spoken and articulate. Steve Vai comes across very well spoken in interviews as well. There are others, but it's always nice. But I digress, lol
Everything he plays sounds awesome!
I just bought that exact beard at PARTY CITY $ 19.99
Petrucci, Gandalf brother..
love doing that Satch trick
The holdsworth thing was so dam sweet had to go back for another helping! John is the man ! 😎👍👍
That whammy beard
0:58...when you're waiting for your dial-up internet to connect
That guitar just looks amazing!
What he does at 5:25, is just the definition of "beyond of this multiverse". Period.
John Petrucci Drunk! ---> Speed 0.5
Metal guitar god Dimebag brought whammy bar back into life
Epic playing and somehow (I didn't think it was possible) even more epic beard. Petrucci is the man.
Brilliant tricks!
I follow the guitarist Andy James on Instagram, and when someone recently asked him why he doesn’t use a whammy bar he said: “Whammy bars are for people who can’t bend and do vibrato properly” and I immediately thought of this video. 1st: that was an extremely cunt-y statement 😂 2nd: John is a god who completely proved that statement wrong.
Wow! It's really cool to see John supporting smaller artists and jamming out to Polyphia for the intro!
which song is it?
All of them. They do whammy stuff in pretty much every song.
+Dean Marshall it was a joke dude, not talking seriously, I think because they use a lot the whammy
Aviator featuring Jason Richardson
Massive tone!
Thanks John
The horse is literally every old school death metal solo
You gotta flick it to get the cricket
Nice Stevie T reference
Calallalallalaalala
Flicketategatacricket
This is awesome!
Love the man. He is a great guitarist, and a great man too, very down to earth. His music man guitars are one of my dream guitars. Hopefully one day i would get it if my fate allows!
Uploaded one week after stevie T's vid about whammy bar. Coincedence?? Lol..
It actually IS a total coincidence! But we love Stevie T - and that's a great video too!
if youre talking about steve terreberry, all i can say is, at least I don't have to look at john petrucci make a bunch of stupid faces while he teaches me guitar
Both good videos. I preferred Stevie's because of his comedy style but both are good.
find Steve t is a better teacher..
flick it to get the cricket
if you give him an afro wig he would look exactly like Reggie Watts.
if you do nothing at all he looks like Luke Harper
if you look at him how he is, he looks like John Petrucci
+Alex Sharp which sucks because he just looks like Reggie Watts without the afro.
and sound just like him!
I fucking love when he does that first whammy trick in Under a Glass Moon 👌🏼
Beautiful Sound with whammy bar Schnazertrucci...!!
John Petrucci: Plays with Whammy bar and doesn't break a string
Me: Plays with whammy bar
Also me: Breaks a string.
Better hand control better tone..
Did Jesus just give us guitar instruction?
It was
Gsus
What you did there, I see it.
But is he djesus
Don't take the name of god in vain
LGsus
Ultimate guitarist! Idol!
killer tone
dem tonez doe
Props to the person who engineered the audio of this video. He (She) made John sounding way better than Richard Chycki.
danielnahuelpi 😄😄
Beautifull guitars and beautifull man! 😘💪
i love the whammy bar i use mine so often i had to go with the lsr nut i always wore out the plastic nuts took me a few years to find the right stuff...lsr nut makes it more dynamic also... i had a locking nut floyd rose one time i did not like the allen key string lock...but was cool in its own right...
He is such a good guitarist
Didn't Petrucci and Dime have beef back in the day?
There was no beef. John just wasn't a big fan of Pantera mainly because of Phil.
+sammy reynolds most musicians dont like phil
duckeradin13 i understand why
Does anybody know what types of microphones they are using on his cab? They sound great
We used a Royer R-121 and a Shure SM-57. Thanks!
Thanks! :)
SM-57. Never fails.
I was just going to comment on how good the audio is in this video.
Nice job Reverb!
Great video!
Loving the Dunlop: John Petrucci Guitar picks. Best guitar-pick I have ever used. I can't be without them so I bought 10 packs. Nice info here. oNe LovE from NYC
A JP with a floyd? Sweet.
I wonder why you guys aren't playing super bowl half time shows and winning grammys every year, Dream Theater is an amazing band
Now I better understand whammy bar's purpose! Thanks for the video!
Man, that guitar is so killer and the sound too
The "Van Halen" technique is my favorite. It's sexy and melodic at the same time
On tour, his beard has it's own trailer...
Awesome.
Yeah! Cool tricks, I'm going to pick up my Les Paul and start practicing now!!!
Damn this beard :o How long does it takes to have one like that
0:26 "Certified Guitar Hero" LOL
I think they meant "certified guitar god"
Love the holdsworth.
The first time I heard the flick trick was via Brad Gillis with Night Ranger, super cool and many don’t employ it.
"Certified guitar hero" 😜 Cool description.
Petrucci's tone used to be amazing back in the day
Omair Sheikh Agreed. Now it's all high gain and fluid. I kinda liked the crunch from 6DOT and Train of Thought eras.
The crunch was at it's peak on Awake and ACOS imo
I love how he references Eddie Van Halen because he is what made me get a Floyd Rose trem system with a Wolfgang standard
So yes, part of his great personality
Do you think you could do all this with a bigsby?
hehe
You definitely can if you raise the trem bar. However, a Floyd trem system - or something similar - is better suited for the more dynamic techniques found in the likes of Petrucci, Vai and Satriani, as demonstrated in the video. A Bigsby trem system is designed to make a more subtle impact on the pitch of the guitar strings.
no, you cant go that extreme. that buzzing like vibrato at 1:06 is also not possible
"Certified guitar hero, composer"
Well done Reverb haha
interesting class JP
I dont even use whammy bar and i am watching this awesome stuff. I wish i could be that kind of player in the future.
