Nice of him to come down from Mount Olympus for a bit.
I was thinking more Moses lol
Ian Galbraith hahahahhahaha
really cool from a player like John to do this
@@chrisdaviesguitarI never know moses has big muscles
NICE hhahahaha
A guy who can play the craziest shit imaginable but still doesn't mind teaching novice stuff like this. I love how down to earth he is. No ego at all.
I met JP in a small music store in Lille (France) in 2005 before a Dream Theater show. He was very down to earth and cool with everyone in the store.
@@thatoneguysven774 he seems like a great guy and humble in spite of his amazing talents
“craziest shit” 😀
That's what makes him great.
Little known fact. The basic shit strewn together is what makes advanced techniques. There really isn't anything special or magical about what he does. He just does the basics incredibly well.
I really admire how down-to-earth and humble he is.
Usually the best ones are very humble.
@@larrywhitted7333 That is the worst statement ever, actually what makes Petrucci so amazing is that MOST people who are at the top get arrogant and cocky, the few who remain humble are those we applaud and this is why they feel special, otherwise people wouldn't be so amazed when they see how down to earth he is.
plus he is a serious weight lifter in the gym. Sorta like if Arnold Schwartzeneggar was a master guitarist.
Mesa- boogie,
Bunch of majesties lying around
God preaching
Good vibes.
ONLY ONE JUDGE GOD ALLMIGHTY AND HE HATES SIN LIKE TAKING HIS AWSOME NAME IN VAIN!!!
Vishwadeep Sonawane sermon on the mount
It took him his whole career to be able to play that slow.
Took him one second of practice to play that fast
It makes me so happy to see that the Alex Lifeson Chord is so influential among musicians such as JP
Simon Gonzalez
Check out villa lobos prelude 2. He did this chord long before
100th like, yw
John Petrucci is the most humble and the most skilled musician world has ever seen. My favorit guitarist by far.
Listen YJM
You ever heard of Andy Timmons?
I wholeheartedly agree -- I love his sound.
@@Arkoudeides. yes, very humble guy that Yngwie
Allan Holdsworth
Love that he appears in so many videos. He definitly should make his own channel.
Incredible content. Every single one of these guitar tips is a trademark of John's work in Dream Theater, tracing back to the early beginnings.
For example in Images & Words:
1- Alex Lifeson Chord = Metropolis Pt 1 solo break
2- Fifth Below the Root Power Chord = Pull me Under main riff
3- Chord Intervals = Metropolis Pt 1 main riff
4- Vibrato = Under a Glass Moon intro
5- Flat Fifths = Under a Glass Moon solo
I discovered the "Alex Lifeson" chord a while back on my own. Never really listened to Rush or ever learned a chord like that in a song.
Very neat idea and I'm glad it came to me somehow. Gotta start listening to more Rush now.
Shrub Plays wise choice. Start with Xanadu, Hemispheres, and 2112
JP the living legend...
I love how he references Steve Morse. Such a killer player. Petrucci is just so awesome all around. One day I’ll get that Music Man!
Saw him live recently. Never seen anybody play so perfect. Legend
From the series “Petrucci for dummies”...
The "Alex Lifeson chord" as he calls it, I always called it the "Dream Theater chord" lol because they use it so much , especially on their older albums
Same
The tone just rips, scratches, beats, crawls around. It is so wild man.
Back then there was no internet, youtube, ultimate-guitar... It was all about imagination and listening to records
Sheet music, literature, tabs, instructional videos, and personal tutors existed back then too. Times change, but not by much
I know that's how I learned how to play by ear
Well ultimate guitar tabs are pretty much only used by absolute beginners (At least I hope so)
His Majesty with his Majesty.🤘
I literally worship you as my Idol. The real God. Thanks for the inspiration. Such simple way of teaching yet powerful and of course the soul resides in ur music Love from India ❤️
At 6:15 did someone else knelt? wasn't just me right?
The "Alex Lifeson Chord" also appears in Eddie van halen's stuff...
I wish I had a teacher like John. Super cool of him to do this video.
Amazing how he can still remember his early days after decades of mastering the instrument
I knew exactly what chord Mr. Petrucci was going to play before his fingers touched the neck: that F# bar chord with the open B and E strings. (0:56)
I remember having the same discovery of that very chord from the Hemispheres song book. It opened up this whole new world of playing chords with open strings ringing. (same technique is employed heavily on 'The Spirit of Radio')
Amazing chord from a great album by Alex, Geddy and Neil.
May Mr. Peart rest in peace.
Petrucci's lesson was as helpful as the staff at Sweetwater... Excellent 🤘
😎
14:48 thats child in time material!!! always enjoy JP teaching stuff
Guitar god, seems like such a great guy. Who wouldn't love lessons from him he's so patient in his explanations.
this is like lebron teaching us how to dribble...
Or Cristiano Ronaldo teaching how to do a powerful kick
@@Kuroiwa1988 teaching us how to hit the wall on every free kick
From the royalty to the people:
It must be one of the best timbres in the music world. My building is shaking hard, even my neighbour came here to complain. Love you John.
He is like a God of Guitar literally.
I listened to Dream Theater a while before I really listened to Rush and the ‘Alex Lifeson Chord’ is implanted into my head as the chord that is played in the riff before Myung’s bass solo and Petrucci’s solo on Metropolis: Part 1
Kids, notice he keeps mentioning Alex Lifeson. Do yourself a favor: listen to Rush.
Rush best band ever
bloody oath!.
I learned to play by slowing vinyl records,& likewise adjusting the pitch. New & young players, yes, even knowledgeable players, invest in a variable pitch turntable,& some vinyl. This is a wonderful way to both learn,& play along! Thanks, I was returned too my youth by this video.
Great lesson! These chords and licks blew me away!
I want to see his tutorial on growing the beard.
“Burn it Down” by Alter Bridge uses that Alex Lifeson chord. It’s fun to play.
Oh! An Alter Bridge fans are also here! Good to know! : ) Greetings from Poland!
How bout one last breath by creed both Mark Trimonty
I love all the references. Great job.
Man...that amp sounds f'n amazing.
Oh, god, the TONE. AMAZING tone.
Wow he Is so good and calm guy. I started liking him after the g3 live in tokyo
Thanks for uploading these vids. As others have said, it’s inspiring to listen from the masters themselves and more so realizing they’re great persons. Cheers
When Petrucci played the "Alex Lifeson chord", the song that came to me was first big chord on Far Cry, off of Snakes and Arrows. A bit forgotten as a Rush song, but a masterclass of the Lifeson style.
the way he talks.. the way he explain things.. is EXACTLY the same as his instructional video way back years and years ago when I am starting to learn more from guitars.. hehehe.
That's a monster tone!
Thank you Mister Petrucci. Thats Great!
This was awesome....I so love the look and feel of the majesty he's playing
Cool tips I like his manner of explaining how to
Awesome!! John Petrucci is a guitarrist impressive!! I am big fan!!!!
6:17 can't wait to go home and try that move!
I really like all of your creativity
holy mother of tone!
for progressive genre guitar God every thing he play the timing seems right which is incredible
Incredible.
awesome. my Hero. love JPP
Would love to see JP do a full play of ITPOE
Awsome awsome teacher
4:58 is how I check to make sure my interface isn't clipping lmao
That’s hilarious 😂😂
Lmaooo same the all mighty chug
14:48 is actually found that same way in The Necromancer from Caress of Steel
The chord of life(son). Nice.
A Great and Yet Humble Guy. Ace Frehley use to practice the same licks over and over all day and he learned how to bend and create cool licks and riffing just by practicing it over and over again. It works for me too. I'm getting my sound and feel too by doing it over and over religiously. Simply easy bends etc... A craft if you will. It all comes from the way you palm mute, rake, etc. I'm establishing my own sound now. Practice, practice, practice.
He is a really sympathetic guy!!!
Me.encanta esa forma de equalizar en v llevando los cortes de la media frecuenfia bien cerradas
All great basic tips to put in your repertoire. I learned the fifth trick from mustaine lesson long time ago def adds meat to rhythm tracks. Anyone else miss the Ibanez guitar tho?
JP2C+Mesa 412 is a dream rig....And I have a LOT of stuff already...I am very close with my Triaxis rig etc...but still...Also the the Zoom captures the sound REALLY well!!!
Hallowed be thy name, john
Sweetwater and Petrucchi equals stability and power.
Oh yes...its so easy...thank you
That first chord can also be found in villa lobos prelude 2 for classical guitar, he also moves it around there. It should be called the villa lobos chord
Superb :)) keep it :)
The hawks that are the individual notes, swirling around him at the mountaintop, would be easier to discern if he backed off the gain quite a bit. But still awesome.
0:19 “Soo the first thing that comes to min-or” lol 😂
The fact that John is self-taught I believe makes all the more difference when he is teaching stuff... He tries to show things the way he found out or stumbled upon them with practice and it makes it seem easier for beginners
LOL Of course he mentions Alex Lifeson. Gotta love it. :D
7:06 the number of the beast iron maiden
Interesting how big of an influence Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson has on Petrucci! Never knew that before and learning the Lifeson chord.
I never thought I could learn so much in 15 minutes. Thank you guitar god, for you have blessed me with knowledge.
always keeping it simple.....
lmfao the older john gets, the more he sounds like jordan
His look is awesome
you have way too many Majesty's , probably should go ahead and send me one your Majesty
Something to work on ...loving how basic . Thanks man...**** INSPIRED ******
I could be blown away too, If only I can discern some'
So called "Alex Lifeson Chord" has been used in guitar pieces long long before this. I first encountered in in a piece by Hector Villa Lobos, and yeah its sounds really cool
If he will continue, I know He can make it to the top and earn money to buy new jeans.
Great guitarist...and nice guy.
I am looking forward to a John song (or maybe an album) called "When I Was Younger"
Forever wishing I could grow a majestic beard like his
Petrucci god of guitarists. He seeks to teach the week but holds the power of the mighty
It's nice to see how even a player of his skill level isn't perfect, showing that he is only human haha. As an aspiring guitarist and musician myself it makes me have hope of becoming as good as him someday
So what got me started was I heard this song by band back in the 70s called Deep Pupil or something like that. They did a song called Stroked on your Daughter and I knew I wanted to play guitar. 👍
Fire in her thighs...
at 11:32 when he said , vibrato is like fingerprint , i just tought of yngwie .. few seconds later he said his name ! yngwie's vibrato is gorgeously amazing !
oh Jesus.thankyou
John, tell us about vibrato with a pinch harmonic. Like zakk wylde over uses

Good job, Sweetwater!
John Petrucci : *choke the bridge*
His guitar : "harder daddy"
🔥🔥🔥
Wow the third example was really cool how he wrote that song using an idea he got from Iron Maiden.
The Root Power Chord is one of my favorites because it makes the guitar sound really heavy. Fun Fact: Kirk Windstein of Crowbar uses that a lot.
Just because of JP I subscribe this channel.
John Petrucci was influenced by exactly the same great music I was influenced by when I started learning guitar in the early 1980s. I totally relate to him about the discovery of the "Alex Lifeson chord"! It's a chord that I still always love playing after all these years. I'm a huge Rush fan, as well as a fan of Iron Maiden, Queensryche, Dixie Dregs, and amazing guitar players like Allan Holdsworth, Yngwie Malmsteen, Vinnie Moore, Gary Moore, Frank Gambale, etc. Now, if I could just start wood-shedding so that I can get up to a level of playing that's even remotely close to John Petrucci's incredible playing. :-p
