      The 4x6 tuners on the music man leave essentially zero natural tension between the bridge and tuners, it's one of the very few guitars with dead straight string routing from bridge to tuner on all 6 strings. That's part of why the G string is so hard to get to stay in tune.

    @BHAKTIBROPHY 5 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    This is where theory comes in handy, kids. U2 played the infamous 1 - (5 - 4 - 3) power, or double stop, riff in 1983 on the WAR album, but WITHOUT the pedal 5th in the bass, and no doubled notes etc.. John took that technique HE learned from Queensrýche and added the extra 5th in the bass and in the open string... I learned this from his 1993 instructional video and it added such a meatier sound to my playing. The added 9th was my favorite (another sus chord, but theoretically called an add 9 because it's an octave higher than the 2nd)... but without the third it's beautiful; with a minor third even moreso (1-5-9-b3), it's no longer a power chord, but a minor(add9). A powerful chord to have in your toolbox.
    Anyway-- it's amazing when you don't need the tab to know what he's doing, because he's pulling everything from the E major scale (except the last example in the key of Em [Relative G major, which is why C & D are major chords)... it's a beautiful thing to be able to see the patterns a player is culling the notes from just by watching. Something I learned from Vai (and PLEASE don't waste time saying who's a better player. I'm friends with Steve-- he said he and John [and Joe] are like brothers and call each other to bounce ideas off each other all the time. They think this comparing of the three is ridiculous).
    So thank you Guitar World and John for taking the time to explain the Rush extended power chords technique, and John's ultimate technique. Great lesson! Guitar World was a priceless tomb from 1980 - 1990, my first 15 years of playing. I still have Steve's 10 Hour Workout from 1990. Thanks for all the Dream Theater, Vai, and Satch cover stories throughout your almost 40 year anniversary.
    It's a beautiful thing to finally be able to hearing the chords John's playing and recognizing the intervals. The diminished 5th (b5) is brilliant as a power chord! (Smoke on The Water is a 1-4 power chord, as you know. But good place to really hear the difference between the basic 1-5 and 1-4 power chords. The fact that they're Perfect intervals really makes then resonate harmonically.)
    Great lesson!!

    JP is such an incredible person. The explanations make perfect sense. The thing about the double-stop chords being a hint for major or minor also occured to me during ny guitar playing, but I was never able to actually identify it as being just this.
    BTW: He talks so gentle and IS so gentle, he even mutes his guitar gently as he accidentally rings some strings while he talks at around 6:42. :) I just love listening to him, either talking or playing.

    @gr8guitarplayer 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    With all those 3rds, 4ths, flat 5's added to basic power chords, you're starting to get into inversions, which is commonly how piano players approach playing their chord shapes. We guitar players don't automatically see these differing ways of playing chords, but it really starts to add some "flavor" to our playing when we start blending these inversions into the chord shapes. This is a reason why it can be important to incorporate the way other musical instruments play chords, especially piano, into our writing and playing. Matt Bellamy is a good example, because he takes chord shapes the way they're played on piano, and brings them into his guitar playing, and gets some really cool sounding chord progressions.

    I love how artists will explain an idea and just play whatever comes to their fingers first that happens to incorporate that idea, and then Guitar world latches on to that exact lick, attaches a figure to it and presents it in the magazine like it’s a run that was intended to be played note for note.
    I just find it amusing. It was especially apparent during the recent Steve Vai interview.

    I feel like JP is shape shifting into a Viking God right in front of our eyes the last 10 years. The transformation seems to be about complete. LoL, but in all seriousness I've never seen someone's look change so drastically. Some weird stuff's going on I think because he's got his brain stuck on guitar mastery, so much so, in a laser beam type way is his focus. I am starting to think his brain is actually making him grow/change in whatever way is effective to be able to improve eventhough he's an adult and shouldn't be growing at all. I really believe that he's possibly unlocked something, some power in his brain that we all have but few ever learn how to use or gain access to. I believe basically anything's possible with our brain power it's just we only know how to use 5 percent of it, or so I've heard it's something like that. Obviously the other 95 percent isn't just mushy brain matter.

    Yeah name of the lesson should be changed "playing rock without power chords" - he is brilliant he realised quite early that it is very repetitive to constantly make riffs with power chords to he put effort to come up with new functional chords which is amazing btw as a good example checkout orion of Metallica where entering main riiff doesnt have power chords and based on major and minor triads!🤔

      David Aghamalyan I mean he didn't exactly invent these types of chords. You'll hear doublestops that are just a root and 3rd in lots of Pantera and Megadeth stuff too. I kind of figured some of this stuff out on my own too. Very interesting hearing him explain it though and I'm starting to think about them a little differently after watching this.

    • @MsDavo123
      @MsDavo123 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Julian Rose actually now that you have mentioned megadeth it clicked in my head same holy wars has exotic power chords!About Pantera i never noticed them going beyond the power chord but riffs are very bluesy and brilliant-maybe i mislooked tha album cowboys from the...Anyway try to write metal riffs without using power chords i guarantee you will have so much fun!

    Yes it's great for that style of music. But if I tried that in my apartment I'd have WWIII with the neighbours unfortunately. Love his Music Man guitars. You can't get them in Australia at present. And when they do arrive they'll be super expensive.

    That tone is so well shaped, it has balls but is designed to sit in a perfect sonic position with the bass and keys. It also cuts through beautifully. It took him ages to get it right.

    Chord i think you mean chord with a lot of collor Dmin sharp 11 b 5 . clean sound D / 5 power distorsion . More collor in the chord less destosion . your fab Mr Petricci .
