@@gen-xennial3826 I mean the gear is the same but half of your tone comes from the fingers, and ALL of us, including Ola, damn wish they had Petrucci's fingers.

Its wonderful to see a metal guitarist who understands melodic playing can sometimes occur at speeds much less than a million notes per second! Most metal bands don't understand that, it's part of the reason why I lost my love of metal music after the heyday of those great Dream Theater albums from the 90's. I hope Ola is turning himself into the next Petrucci of our time, the next great melodic metalhead!!! Keep it up man, the world needs more like you!!
Truth. I actually did the same cover but with pure software (BIAS),. and I think it is accurate, maybe not my playing but the tone. just in case you want to check it: th-cam.com/video/qRXwUZcm4tk/w-d-xo.html
Ola didn’t imagine that in two years he’ll interview John Petrucci via Skype. Cool guitar 🎸 I especially like that the “Ibanez” logo has a dark gold color.
Actually you don't need an old Ibanez to sound like that. It's just a matter of buying Indonesian made and upgrade to Dimarzios and some good tremolo stabilizer. I did that with my white RG350DXZ and at that point it was just a matter of twiking the correct settings on the AMP.
I love how you put effort into nailing the appropriate tone and feel for each cover you do, your heart is totally in it. I hate when others don’t. It’s like watching someone do Iron Maiden covers that sound and feel like Metallica, no effort.
What a great song, what a great cover! Am learning this aswell and this helps a lot, seeing how you play it and tweaking my own play here and there... Thanks a lot!!
Amazing! A Dream Theater Masterpiece Album, for sure. Good and honorable cover. Great. I played for hours and hours that album along. But I cannot play like JP. No one does. But this teachs you a lot. And it's so fun. "If I die tomorrow, Ill be alright 'cause I believe that" Ola can play E standard along. :P Cheers,
One take. Jesus Christ. There are two small parts of this song that trip me up with the timing. That little sweep that slides down into the last unison part towards the end and the transition out of the riff between the solos (the chromatic part into the triplet run)..so freaking hard to slow down and figure out what is going on. This is flawless.
No, imo the 4 sounds completely different from the 2c+. It has a more soft/liquid sound, it lacks the raw aggression that the 2c+ imo have. It still sounds phenomenal, don't get me wrong (i actually prefer the 4 for the leads) but when it comes to percussive sounds for riffs, the 2c+ remains unbeaten. Even the 2c+ mode on the mark V still doesn't offer that in your face aggressive tone. Never tried the new petrucci signature, so i cannot comment on that beast.
Davide Pannone have you tried the "IIC+ setting" on a IV and compared it to a IIC+? Because I have and they sound almost identical. Also, all IIC+ sound different due to the hand made transformers used for each one.
Exactly. The 4 and the IIC+ are barely comparable just because they're 2 very different amps structurally. They sounds yes similar, i never said they sound completely different (they're still both from the mark serie) but they do sound different. Not to mention both the 2c+ and the 4 received more than a revision over the years. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Both fruit but they're different in their very core. I've never owned a 2c+ as they're hard as hell to come by but i have played it plenty since my guitar teacher used to own one back in the day and i was never able to recreate that iconic 2c+ upper mid growl without making the 4 sound either too "nasal" or too thin/bright compared to the 2c+. Btw, the IV has no 2c+ setting, it's the 5 that has it.
Davide Pannone well, I happen to own a Mk IV and one of my best friends has a IIC+ and a iV and we manage to make then sound almost identical. With the V is different story. It sounds nothing like a iIC+ or a IV. The secret to make a IV sound like IIC+ is in the switches on the back, not the knobs.
Man, you just need to buy an Ibanez Indonesian made, updage with Dimarzios and some good tremolo stabilizer, and then buy a blackstar HT5R and a delay pedal. I know it's not the same tone, but you will get some actually huge tone! You can get all that gear without selling your house!!!
Awesome playing. It's not often I watch full covers of songs. But I enjoyed this very much! Dat tone! I knew already that your rythm playing was crazy but this actually surprised me a little!
Yay. Ola in E standard.
JiTiAr35 it's definitely like coming home after you've been in drop for a while
LOL! He got a great tone, not actually JP tone but pretty amazing one.
@@gen-xennial3826 I mean the gear is the same but half of your tone comes from the fingers, and ALL of us, including Ola, damn wish they had Petrucci's fingers.
JiTiAr35 wait that’s illegal
And yay Ola playing Solos 👍

Ola's covers are always really good however, this one is exceptionally high caliber. I bow to your awesomeness.

You're listening to the wrong bands then, lol
Al Truist, To become a Petrucci they need to be born) If he himself came up with something like this
JunkieMonkey321 he probably thinks nu metal is all the 2000s got to offer

Whoa, what a massive tone.
Ooh, you were practicing this song in the kitchen with your super-cute little daughter!

D'aw, that's adorable. XD Also, bitchin video as always.
"that's great dad, but where's my damn breakfast?!"
Nailed it sweet cheeks. Bill Bailey would be proud. Never seen an AC/DC song played so well!
Takes me back, I used to jam along to this every day
Ola, you just impressed the fuck outta me playing John Petrucci note for note. You’re amazing brother.
One of my all time favorite DT tunes. Thanks Ola!
This made me happy. I remember learning this over ten years ago and never finished. I need to finish learning it!
When your so metal your hair dose a power slide 2:09
Hajahahja Blond Hair Slide technique jjjj
Secret swedish metal power move
listening to you playing Ola, is like feeling the sunshine on my face
Ola didn’t imagine that in two years he’ll interview John Petrucci via Skype. Cool guitar 🎸 I especially like that the “Ibanez” logo has a dark gold color.
If only those old ibanezes weren’t so damn expensive.
Cornelius Larsen Proud to say I still own the rare JPM P4. Still an amazing guitar to this day. I think I got the first one to arrive in the UK
I have a 1989 RG750 (bought new) and never ever see any for sale.
Actually you don't need an old Ibanez to sound like that.
It's just a matter of buying Indonesian made and upgrade to Dimarzios and some good tremolo stabilizer.
I did that with my white RG350DXZ and at that point it was just a matter of twiking the correct settings on the AMP.
I own an old Picasso Seven strings version... it’s just perfect
Chapter 7 The Best of Times stabilizer for what? Never had a issue with a properly set up lo pro, or edge
Good job Ola! Although I will say not continuing through Strange Deja Vu is a crime!
SUBCONSCIOUS STRANGE SENSATION
UNCONSCIOUS RELAXATION
What a pleasant nightmare
And i can't wait to get there again
EVERY TIME I CLOSE MY EYES
Oh gosh my fav DT album, so cool to hear this from you!
Woah, that guitar is beautiful
Greatest cover from the greatest guitar youtuber to the greatest guitar player ever
I love how you put effort into nailing the appropriate tone and feel for each cover you do, your heart is totally in it. I hate when others don’t. It’s like watching someone do Iron Maiden covers that sound and feel like Metallica, no effort.
What a great song, what a great cover!

Tone is amazing. Playing is spot on. Great job Ola.
Mad respect for Ola!
That is an absolutely beautiful guitar.
Nothing short of awesome...
I am waiting for John Petrucci to write something on this video
Amazing!
A Dream Theater Masterpiece Album, for sure.
Good and honorable cover. Great.
I played for hours and hours that album along. But I cannot play like JP. No one does. But this teachs you a lot. And it's so fun.
"If I die tomorrow, Ill be alright 'cause I believe that" Ola can play E standard along. :P
Cheers,
Awesome job with that Ola!!!!!
You nailed it, Ola. I'm astonished!
Hell yeah! What a treat to wake up to.
maan the tone on this one is the besssstttt i wish i could get a tone as good as that
Watched this morning and I've had it stuck in my head all day. Had to come back for another fix.
A more tender side of Ola is shown here. Beautiful.
That's....a f***ing awesome tone.
Sick tone man. You are the best. Love from Ecuador, in South America.
Great job! One of tge bedt DT songs ever. Definitely their best album. Love it
Right on man! It was awesome to see and hear you play that great tune. I love that JPM!
Bravissimo Ola!!
Hope to see more Dream Theater awesome job ola love the videos.
Glorious!

That little sweep that slides down into the last unison part towards the end and the transition out of the riff between the solos (the chromatic part into the triplet run)..so freaking hard to slow down and figure out what is going on.

This is awsome!! in my opinion Ola nailed it....
That tone man, so sick
You definitely DESTROYED this cover, Ola. FANTASTIC work my friend, I'm sure JP approves.
Ola, that was amazing.
It is not often you hear someone play John Petrucci as well as JP himself! Awesome job brother!
DAT GLORIOUS UPPER MIDRANGE GROWL ONLY MARK IIC+ HAS THO
You can get that growl pretty much with any mark (from the IIC+ and on)
No, imo the 4 sounds completely different from the 2c+. It has a more soft/liquid sound, it lacks the raw aggression that the 2c+ imo have. It still sounds phenomenal, don't get me wrong (i actually prefer the 4 for the leads) but when it comes to percussive sounds for riffs, the 2c+ remains unbeaten.

That was amazing Ola
You really are a fine player Ola.
Nailed it!
Awesome playing and great tone!

DAAAAAMN!!! Such a nice cover!!! Flawless Ola!!!

I would sell my house to get this lovely tone.
me too
same
Hirk Wahmmet find yourself a 2c+ or get a new jp2c I’m pretty sure it’s much less then a house
skubadoobie tone is IN THE FINGERZ
Man, you just need to buy an Ibanez Indonesian made, updage with Dimarzios and some good tremolo stabilizer, and then buy a blackstar HT5R and a delay pedal.
I know it's not the same tone, but you will get some actually huge tone!
You can get all that gear without selling your house!!!
Im a big fan Dream Theater and this is the best cover Ola!
