John is just the best, such a nice and humble guy
Maybe it's just the name John, John-5 is super nice and humble too
Yeah every interview he’s so gracious, humble, relatable and so interesting to listen to. Great job Fluff!
As John once said "You don't know me well...". So maybe he's not that humble outside a camera.
Such a personable, humble man despite all of his accomplishments. He clearly just LOVES what he does and is more than happy to chat about it with zero ego. John truly is a legend in every possible way.
well said... totally agree with your statement
I've met him briefly. Can confirm.
You mean despite being God?
27:53 they actually talk about the Majesty 8 string! It’s a thing!!!!
Man, just have a close look on the guitar behind him.. :D
@@marvinzimmermann_ exactly!😂
@@marvinzimmermann_ idk, looks like a 7 string to me.
@@piyushsharma5177 looks like a 6 in line strat headstock and 2 on the side to my eye (8 string)
Ummm... yes please. But no.... I’m already pre ordering guitars this year. Uhhhg my wallet is hating me!!!! But ill get that!!! Overtime it is! Lmao
I'm a simple man.
I see Petrucci, I press like.
It helps that JP is a super nice, down-to-earth guy and a true statesman in the world of guitar, but big props to Fluff here for making this an overall superb interview. Loved it.
Fluff, I have been studying every interview for John to prepare for mine. Yours is the most that has connected with me. I'm glad you didn't ask the common questions, and even if it was a common theme, I like the way you went further. Thank you and cheers!!
The talent, intelligence and humbleness that Petrucci has, are out of this world!
(People who dislike this need to get a covid test done. Lack of taste is a major symptom)
I can't believe I just heard him mention Ibanez
Great interview with my favorite guitarist!!! I've been playing for 35 years and currently have 34 terrific guitars and my Majesty rules them all.
34 guitars!? Geezus man! Is there one in every single possible tuning and you just grab whatever you want? That’s quite a quiver of axes to be had! 🤘🏻🙂👍🏻
@@cwoodside907 Thanks man!! 3 are bass guitars, there's 1 six string acoustic and 1 twelve string acoustic, 1 seven string electric and the rest are six string electrics. Some are signature models from my guitar heros (Vai, Satriani, Derek Trucks, Petrucci, Pete Thorn, Keith Merrow, Malmsteen) and others I bought just because they're really nice. I couldn't afford even 1 really nice guitar when I was younger so I've been making up for that. The best part is that they all get played a lot.
I have the majesty in glacial frost and I only have three guitars
Its the best guitar I own,which I never thought possible when I got the jp6 mystic dream,ten years ago
Ibanez staff is surely regretting not developing John’s ideas for his guitars 😂 back in the days.
It's amazing how much love and respect the guitar community has for John. Well deserved too, gotta love this guy.
John.
Everyone’s favorite dad.
Great interview Fluff. You do a great job at these. JP is just the nicest dude.
Listening to Petrucci always chills me out. Great interview Fluff. Can't wait to check out the 8 string.
Hopping on the comment train here, JP is such a humble, pleasant dude despite his all-powerful guitar god status.
Oh, and the subtle drop that there’ll be a new Dream Theater album to look forward to later... mmm
To Echo Holk, John is so pleasant to listen to. His humble nature is so genuine and his appreciation so real. LOG Mark Morton and Willy Adler will poop a little when they hear John referencing their tone along with Chevelle of all bands. As always Ryan you knocked it out of the park!!
Well... I mean, both of those bands have SICK guitar tone.
@@joelcprice I would fall over if someone like JP complimented my tone or anything else.
Legend has it John’s beard kicked Chuck Norris’s ass
I heard it just ate Chuck whole...
I been kind uninspired to play lately but something about this interview got me wanting to play again. JP is the fucking man.
Same
Amazing! So cool.
It's not in my budget, but the Majesty is the single best guitar I have ever played in my life. The "Sterling by Music Man" version of the Majesty is a very, very good guitar for a lot less money. It's still a grand, but worth every penny.
Also, John is an amazing player and person. I haven't yet seen Dream Theater yet, but I really want to, once tours are back on.
Didn't even talk about his signature beard products on Beard Chat.
Hahahahahaah The Boss is a Troll, he had one of those 8 strings prototypes on the back all of the interview!! If you count there is six tuners on the left and two on the right! 😎 Loved the interview Ryan BTW great stuff!!
@@faberbootlegs you might be right dude and I saw the picture before on instagram, but I just looked back again and since is a low quality image is hard to tell, but honestly that fingerboard is way thicker than a 7 string majesty, and plus the prototype is a majesty.....and if Ryan got permission from Musicman to talk about it, it makes sense that it’s probably one of those on the background!
@@mariogarza1563 the black couch makes it look wider.
God stuff dude! John Petrucci is one of my all-time favorite guitar players. But I absolutely agree with you about his signature models. As much as I love John Petrucci and as much as I love Dream Theater, my love and my connection with my Majesty has nothing to do with either of those things. Music Man truly make the best guitars in the world.
Probably one of the biggest regret for Ibanez will be letting John go. Look at what Music man is now!! I heard somewhere that JP and Majesty guitars are highest sold artist signature guitar.
I think 20 years ago, at that time, Vai was their biggest "star" and imo he was the only musician who would get his requests met. But I agree. The openness of EBMM with JP's request was very good investment
I think it was inevitable that he end up with Music Man I like Ibanez but I have never played one that stands even close to my JP15 it’s just a superior instrument.
@@bernieolszewski4963 yeah, once you go music man you ain't going back!!!
Amazing interview dude! I was smiling all the way through that with ya! :)
Nice interview!! Now to just get John on Hot Ones so the beard can eat all those wings.
John Petrucci Hot Ones would be the peak of youtube
That was a really good interview. It is nice to hear a conversation where the interviewer deeply understands the subject so the questions and answers are actually interesting. I am a big fan of you both.
I had a chance to meet and chat with John a couple years ago and I can say with no hesitation that you held your composure much better than I did, lol. Excellent interview.
I was lucky enough to be able to scoop up a 7-string version if the Purple Nebula last summer and good god, a sports car is definitely the right term for it. That thing is an extremely high performance machine and you can tell that years of innovation and several iterations have contributed towards its current status as one of the most iconic guitars out there. Honestly, I don't even feel qualified enough to be playing the damn thing, lmao.
Super excited to be getting both a new LTE AND Dream Theater album this year. Those, in addition to John's new solo album and live DT DVD last year have made the last 12 months a VERY good time to be a Petrucci fan.
I saw Dream Theater in October 2019. John's live tone was absolutely the best I've ever heard. And his performance exceeded my expectations. Zero mistakes. Everything was perfectly audible. He reproduced every tone from Scenes From a Memory exactly the way I remembered it from the album. His playing was absolutely beautiful. Seeing him live made me appreciate him even more than before.
very cool interview. So cool to listen to a legend like John
Great interview Fluff ! Now everyone will be salivating for the 8 string Majesty
Ill only salivate if it's at least 27 inches in scale length lol
He's the LORAX of 🎸🎸🎸
This was a great interview, really interesting to hear his perspectives on gear, song-writing etc. Great questions too, the best thing you can do is just prompt someone and not get in their way! Awesome
Great interview. That was one of the fastest 30 minutes I've ever experienced.
Nice to hear some fresh takes instead of the same old questions. Great interview.
That 8 strings gonna break the internet!
That was Amazing.
John is such a great guy.
John is such a nice guy, thank you so much for this interview.
Can I play like Petrucci if I grow my beard too? 🤔 😂 Such a humble and pro guy! 🙌
Great interview Fluff. I have a EBMM Majesty 6, love it! Took me a while to get used to such a thin neck but killer instrument. I bought the Axe FX 3 instead of the JP2C, but JP2C was a razor close 2nd. His signature chorus is sick AF too.
My Sterling JP150 isn't even what I would consider a true JP guitar and it's STILL the best feeling/playing guitar I've ever owned!! I've had several Ibanez Prestiges, higher end ESPs, Gibsons, etc (haven't had a PRS yet) but this 800 USD dollars guitar blows all of them out of the water. I can't wait to get my hands on an official EBMM JP.
I play an artisan 7 string majesty... Its simple I cant live without it.
LTE, 8 string, new dream theater later this year mind blown. Great chat Fluff!
I was fortunate to get a backstage pass from the musicman distributors,strings and things,based on the uk
Met JP and he was so humble and really friendly
I asked if he would sign the scratch plates of my jp6 mystic dream and majesty,glacial frost
He didn’t hesitate and genuinely thanked me for buying the guitars,and was asking if he could have done anything better in the production of the guitar
It was like talking to a close friend
The old adage of never meeting your heroes can be true,but definitely the opposite with JP
This series is great, Fluff! Keep up the fantastic work!
Enjoying this series, thanks for that, Fluff.
Thank you for conducting this more like a conversation rather than a really awkward interview. The way you did this made it really insightful and entertaining, so thank you!
That was fucking amazing! i mean really really really amazing. Thanks Fluff!
Great job on the interview. Love me some JP.
It’s really interesting that both John and Tosin Abasi (nearly two decades later!) essentially left Ibanez for the exact same reasons.
HOLY SMOKES! 8 strings majesty and a new dream theater album to be released later this year. CAN’T WAIT!!!! So glad I snatched a Harley Benton 8 string guitar haha!
So much beard in this video. And of course, guitar Jesus himself.
what a really cool interview. JP's interviews are sometimes really boring. You guys nerd a lot and still was entertaining to listen. great job
Great Job! Just enough fan boy mixed with interview !!!!
Great guest Fluff
GREAT Great Episode Thanks, gentlemen!
I see beard, i click.
I see petrucci, i see beard.
🤘🤘🤘
I thought Ola's interview with JP was epic.....until I watched this. Fluff your Jedi master interview skills are 🔥! Well done and props to JP for keeping it real as always. 👍🏻
Would love to own a Majesty
OMG PETRUCC!!!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😍🚨
OMG HE GOT JIM PAGHETTI!
In all fairness, JP is a complete scholar AND a stud.
Good human to have among us.
This is a really good one Fluff. A+
There was only one photo of the 8 strings missing, besides the interview was incredible (Including one of the best that JP has given recently).
My favorite guitars right now are the Schecter KM7 mkiiis but man is it not a dream to one day own a Music Man....specifically the Richardson7...that burl 🤤🤤
Majesty 8 =
Awesome interview, Saruman certinaly knew about guitar gear in his early guitar wizarding beginnings.
Excellent Interview Brother - Kevin
Outstanding interview Fluff! I can't thumbs-up this enough.
Awesome ,
I got that mod you mentioned (I asked about).
I already put it in works awesome on Mesa boogie triple rectifier.
John’s beard literally makes Guitar Jesus and it’s awesome
Wish it was a long video but damn, JP is just so humble and cool 😎
Great video Fluff, may I suggest The Bearded Billy Gibbons.
Great interview, loved it.
i may worship different guitar gods, but i respect the hell outta petrucci, and it's cool to see he's such a good, humble dude!
This is sick. John is the best
Great way to start my day
Nice chat ! Petrucci's tone is way better now with the beard, I don't know if pickups or wood make a difference, but the beard definitely affect the tone way more.
Me trying to process the fact we're getting new Dream Theater on top of the LTE album makes me want to scream in excitement. I'm only just at a point where I'm happy that I've digested DOT enough to make my overall opinion on it 😅
Great interview. Thanks from Sweden! 🐻❄️
Fantastic video!
Thank you Ryan! 💖
Well, he DID NOT say it's a new JP, but a Majesty... I hope everyone could sign a petition to EBMM to make an 8 string straight fret 27" JP model WITH piezzo. Maybe if everyone become a backer of the project and chip in some $$$$ and get as a discount or something really bespoke like custom paint or something whenever the instruments are ready, could be a great deal like super limited run of 1000 pieces. Anyone?
I have heard a few artists talk about how they left Ibanez because they refused to do the customizations the artists asked for.
He is officially guitar Jesus
Yes!! Excited about this
Not one mention of beards lol 😂
Awesome interview!
Fantastic interview, well done!
How about offering the beard files as podcasts?
Great interview! Well done, sir
Super cool. I thought the 8 was a JP as well.
Killer interview thank you both!
Super interview. Thanks for this.
Your design is complete not when there is nothing left to add but when there is nothing left to take away.
Ok, when are we going to talk about having a Ibanez JPM100 reissue? Probably a lot of people will like it.
Very nice interview, really enjoyed
28:21 majesty 8 string. Fanned fret. Fixed bridge
Awesome video! Such a cool guy! (Fluff i mean) 🤘
When dad talks with god.....damn..that sounds like a good song title :)
Super cool! :D
John is slowly turning into Leland Sklar
Not gonna lie, I fully expected this to be a chat about beards. 😆
