"When I first heard you guys' music it sounded like a herd of steel toed buffalo stampeding blowing fire out of their nostrils." - Steve Vai talking to Munky on a Guitar World interview gathering of seven string players.
You guys should check out players like Lenny Breau, George Van Eps (Who actually had the very first production made seven string signature model by Gretsch) and (8 string player) Charlie Hunter to get the big scope on what a seven string can do in a Jazz setting.
I miss John Petrucci using an Ibanez Guitar or his old JPM models. watching his video clip just shows that he's not suppose to be promoting and making ernie ball music man guitars! the sample chug from the mirror sounds exactly the same in the album. That's one of the most distinct sounds Ibanez have that ebmm guitars can't produce. "JOHN IF YOU'RE READING THIS, GO BACK TO IBANEZ PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I love Ibby, but the EBMM models are works of art. If Ibanez had worked with him like Ernie Ball does they would be the top company hands down (production that is). But John has so much control with Ernie Ball, there's no way he would go back now.
because he couldnt find a string that would go higher without it breaking under the stress they make them now though.....still he also did it for an affect
And i know why Tony Macalpine play with his jazz band called Cab play the 7 strings guitar is the more versatile electric guitar player from 7 to the 8 strings guitar
And forget said for the jazz is the genesis of this 7 strings guitar of course the video shows the variations between electric, acoustic and jazz style for me Tony Macalpine and Petrucci and Vai are legends And Vai put on the market the electric 7 strings guitar, thanks Vai.
Mark Lowery It was released in 1998. Petrucci was taped while recording “Falling Into Infinity” in June & July 1997, as you can hear him riffing on the solo from “Just Let Me Breathe” from that album as using a fairly rare custom Ibanez 7-string guitar that he only used for a few shows in 1996 and this album recording in ‘97.
Dennis Teti The copywrite date on the VHS rape & sleeve is 1998 (yup, I actually haven’t put my original copy on ebay as of yet!). I believe the individual segments were recorded in 1997, as John Petrucci was taped while Dream Theater was recording “Falling Into Infinity” in June & July 1997, as you can hear him riffing on the solo from “Just Let Me Breathe” from that album and playing a rare custom Ibanez 7-string guitar that he only used for a few shows in 1996 and that album recording in ‘97.
I respect your opinion since you're entitled to it. However, I disagree with you 100% that those Music Man guitars are works of art. One TH-cam user did compare both guitars and unanimously, he picked the JPM. How many Ibanez people (like me) will say that it was a bad decision for JP to leave? Probably a lot. But if you ask was it the best decision for Ibanez to let him go? The answer is NO. Ernie Ball was only lucky to have him thanks to Tony Levin. Otherwise, he could've picked Jackson.
This video makes JP seem like the most boring player out of all of them. They couldn't have just shot some footage of him shredding that thing into pieces to kinda, showcase him a bit more?
yeah yeah, "Jp's sound was better with Ibanez" we know! it was necessary for him to change when he did and the EBMM guitars he designed are great too. Get over it people
Mark Lowery Excellent point! As a *longtime* Dream Theater fan from _waaayy_ back, there are aspects that I prefer in his Ibanez JPM models (and 1st Gen EBMMs, as their were much closer in woods and pickups compared to his later BFR & Majesty models) such as the “openness” and complex chord definition from his old DiMarzio Air Norton/Steve’s Special pickups, but even back then on their heavier material I wish he had something closer to his post-“Train Of Thought” chunky metal tones. Oh well, that’s growth as an artist for you! ;-)

Man, Petrucci's tone is so much better with Ibanez
But the beard is stronger with Ernie Beard uh Ball
@jasper426 damn, that's sad to hear. I always loved the look of the JPM7 in the black and white Picasso finish.
"I believe this is definatly the guitar of the future!"
...And then came the 8 string...
Ibanez one-upped Ibanez
I love how there’s so much footage of young Petrucci!!

6:08 Wow!! Is that a F Inverted Power Chord on a 7 String Guitar? Sounds very Heavy !!! 😲🤟🤟🤟
Daaaamnn.. Head is like a robot.Just Munky play first sound of Blind and he get straightened and get ready
Gveir even all addicted to crack and he still could do it

Bucky Pizzarelli actually used a 7 string for jazz. He used them even before Vai did.
@TheHappyFaceBoxMan THAT MADE MY DAY!!

Petrucci and Vai are more versatile!!!
HOW ARE THE GUITAR USE FOR JOHN PETRUCCI...
why does wes uses two high string for??? kind of strange
And i know why Tony Macalpine play with his jazz band called Cab play the 7 strings guitar is the more versatile electric guitar player from 7 to the 8 strings guitar

Did any of Petrucci Signature Ibanez guitars were 7 string? All I can find are 6 string ones
The JPM100 black and white, you can find it in their performance of Just Let Me Breathe
5:55 The Mirror
Does anyone know the song the riff is from around 0:55 ?
@kigawman that woulndt let him have his own shape which he clearly loves though.
Timmons is more hippie wave style , i hear his records but he never play though riffs on a electric 7 strings guitar only paul gilbert
Curious when this was released? Got to be late nineties
i figured about around '94. John Petrucci is playing riffs off the Awake album released in that year..so i estimate around '94

@wtfjaftw Are you joking? I honestly can't tell.
Seems to me Wes isn't much of a talker. I've seen many interviews with him, he doesn't talk a lot

Limp bizkit are too posers , i like more Dino style , Petrucci
Haha John Petrucci does have silly facial hair but I think all his testosterone went to his muscles and fingers.
what?
This video makes JP seem like the most boring player out of all of them. They couldn't have just shot some footage of him shredding that thing into pieces to kinda, showcase him a bit more?
