Hey everybody, its your good buddy Uncle Ben Eller back again with a full lesson on how to survive the HARDEST John Petrucci licks featured in Overture 1928 by Dream Theater! If you're trying to get into learning DT tunes, this is a GREAT song to start with, but there's still a handful of parts that can be brutally hard to play. In this lesson video, i'm going to break down the toughest bits of the song, that way you can nail them and dominate this tune!
Gear:
Suhr Modern Satin
Dunlop T3 .88
Suhr Woodshed Compressor
REVV Generator 120
What John Petrucci song do you need help with next? Let me know in the comments!!!
Thanks for learning all my survival tips for Overture 1928! What Dream Theater song should be break down next?
Can you go over Metropolis Part 1? There is some deceptively funky runs in that song or the solo Arrival of Love by Circus Maximus. That solo has me totally criss crossed constantly.
Not a Dream Theater song but it is a progressive masterpiece. Can you break down the solo to Steven Wilson’s Ancestral. A Guthrie Govan classic.
Hero 🤘🏽 Cheers Uncle Ben. Maybe Innocence faded or solo to Under a glass moon. Thanks again
In the Name of God
I believe in you
Maybe Erotomania, Learning to Live, or The test that stumped them all?
Finally...my step-mom was asking whole day "Hasn't that handsome ponytail guy uploaded a video yet?"...
Tell her I said hi!!!
I bet she's hot
This is why I call him UNCY BANG! For hot step-mom milfs everywhere!
Hahahahah fuckin Ben Eller, my girlfriend likes him too. Everytime I'm watching and she comes in she stares for a second and every now and then she goes "I like this guy", and I just go "I know you do baby"....
@@mediumtalented9250 it's really the guitar playing
Love the nailed it face when you finish a killer lick
I LITERALLY just finished learning this song yesterday and was trying to improve my execution of these sections!!! Thanks a lot Uncle Ben!
I never have listen to dream theater read his articles but your lesson breaks down what a great guitarist he is and you for teaching us this you are very skilled thankyou
Ben, you're a beast! Gonna have to try this one this weekend.
OMG dude I've had so many teachers try to teach the swiping out of my playing. You are awesome.
It’s great for certain things!!!
@@BenEller I'm too much of an alternate picker - I see the value in swiping but alternate picking works for me
Just signed up on Patreon. I love your channel Ben!
Great job! And to think you broke all that down and didn't once ask why John left Ibanez or why MP left DT? Amazing clarity and focus! :)
This is the first dream theater guitar solos I learned. It was so fun making my guitar sound like John's i didnt play anything else for atleast a month lol
I have been learning this for a couple weeks now. Impeccable timing, Unc
Finally, Step-Dad Ben is touching me in a way I never thought possible. More of this please.
The best guitar tips in TH-cam! Super Uncle Ben🙌🏻🎸🔥
Awesome content. Subscribed!
Can you do Erotomania solo's ? nice vid btw
11:40 - yup
Good day students today we're going to watch the teacher play....
Tuning? Never mind, standard.
I don't want to learn this, its way too easy and simple.
funny
Yup same i learnt it by ear
these type of players right? the official tab is perfect but... I KNOW better so listen to me right? my last guitar player same thing mad chops but could never come up with a liric or a song! just focus on being a copy of john petrucci and playing JP licks.
If anyone wants accurate dream theater tabs for the classic albums (image and words all the way through metropolis part 2, and the latest album, and john petruccis solo album) go to Evan Bradley's channel and email him.
if you can, donate to him because he emails these tabs for free, and has a transcription company.
great video as always!
I probably listened to this song like 400x in the past month
Get a life then.
And please, change that profile picture.
@@Kevin-gb8gb you find me sexy?
So real talk... ever since i found your "this is why your hand sync sucks at guitar" video i've been like... that's the key.... i can finally play overture 1928 once i do like 6 months of metronome work. that was 5 months ago, and it's almost there. I think this lesson will push me over the goal line.
the tab i had for the fastest sextuplet part was just wrong. I think it'll be a lot easier with what you showed here.
The cross picking thing is really cool. I was trying to do this section with sweeps and it wasn't really working out. I was ready to be like "well... this part will just sound like shit and i'm ok with that", but i'll see if i can work out the cross picking thing.
Once again, thanks for all the lessons! I'll work out some way of giving you money once my step dad give me my allowance.
Best lesson digest this masterpiece...I gave up learning this song a few months back. Thanks Ben for making we want to reattempt it.
And if possible can you make a similar video for the Under the Glass moon solo..I think it might be great
I always love a good slow blues. Thank you, Uncle Ben.
First comment! Great vid, as usual. One of the best TH-cam shredders is Uncle Ben!
DUDE YOU NAILED IT! Oh btw Satan called he's burning up 🔥👹
Riddupp- Riddupp Froggy.
ROCK ON BEN ! 👊 🎸
Have u checked out the band, THE HU? MONGOLIAN METAL \m/
I was planning on learning this song fully when my RG1570 comes in the mail next week. Thanks Uncle Ben!
i just noticed the screws on the neck pickup at least are in perfect alignment. i am so dang satisfied right now, even my step dad couldn't ruin my mood!
Bought my first ever guitar 3 months ago (Harley Benton CST24 Deluxe), and desided Overture to be THE song I want to learn.
I'm way over my head here 🙆
Haha that’s a STEEEEEP learning curve for sure. Peruvian Skies isn’t too bad, take a swing at that one.
This combined with strange de ja vu is such an incredible piece of music
4th favourite dream theater song!!
Thank you Ben! I’ve been playing this song for years, and just now realized I’ve had a few notes wrong in the unison section. Time to grab the guitar and go to work!
Your patented “Step Dad Speed” really helps work out those sections easily. Thank you so much for always posting stellar guitar instructional videos🤘🏼🎸
It has 1928 likes, i just cant give it my like sorry xD
Where were you last year when I had to learn this ungodly mess of a song ON MY OWN, Uncle Ben?!?! WHERE WERE YOU?!?!
Dude I’m literally putting the final touches (midi keyboards parts etc) to a guitar cover of this song. Where the F was this video like 2 months ago! Hahah awesome work. I was learning this song from my old tab book, and the timing on the “picking purgatory” section took longer to nail than the rest of the song combined.
Gracias uncle Ben! I'll be working on this one over the weekend.
Am I the only one that finds "step Dad speed" still really fast? Is there are a step Grand dad speed?
Okay I love this song and the video but the thumbnail led me to believe that John Petrucci would be making an appearance 😡
This is perfect timing holy shit thank you!
Dang this was a very fun and hard for me 15 years ago. I wish I had this back then. Well done!
✋ *Uncle Ben! Step-Dad Luey here!*
Can you make it even more slow-li-er ? Tha-anks ! 🤗
Thanks for sharing, probably eleventeen in practice years away for me but still really enjoyed it. Cheers
Surviving step dad abuse ;)....*
Best explanation I’ve seen ever! (Still way to hard for me, but let’s practice).
You're the bestest best step dad on the interwebs with arm hands. Seriously, awesome lessons. You're definitely one of the best teachers on TH-cam. Quality content bro
The perfect place to START!? 😲 I'm screwed lol
Perhaps once my jewelry is delivered I will be better at guitar..
Hello Ben,
Thank you very much.
Also my absolute favorite DT song ever. Haven't played this tune for a while.
I am currently practicing it again after watching your video.
These are excactly the parts I was struggling with.!! :-)
That album is just sooo damn cool... love it
My goodness uncle Ben, your effortless picking technique frustrates me.
Awesome stuff!
"Ben knows Kung Fu!"
Great video, Uncle Ben!
Beautiful Suhr there.
Can someone explain how can one use a very high-wattage amp at home and still get a good tone at non-earth-shattering volumes?
I did a lot of digging but nobody seems to have an actual concrete answer.
Dude, the REVV has a built-in Two Notes Torpedo, so you can run it straight into your interface and monitors at any volume. It’s also switchable to 10 watt mode!!!!
So my Google Pixel's news feed recommended this video to me. Odd, right, but I'm glad it did, because I love it!
We used this song as a benchmark to prove ourselves back when we were 16 in 2006.
Just to get the initial downward scale half right could crown you local guitar God of your town.
Greetings from Italy.
Endless Sacrifice!
11:15 imo its a chromatic run on D string (14 15 16) after that everything is correct (14 16 17), that sounds a little better and still playable :D that kinda makes this lick Gb blues
Your technique is insane Ben!
WE NEED MORE "STUFF BLANK DOES" VIDEOS UNCLE BEN!!! Im not even a guitar player, im a drummer. And I can't play the drums without the neighbors below me freaking out! I watch your videos because of your ridiculous personality and boyish good looks!
You sir, are a drummer.
@@lueymeteora1410 guilty! What tipped you off? Was it when I said I was a drummer?
@@Blindashitmetalasfuck Cor! You got me! Lol
That cross picking section has been haunting me for the last 15-16 years!! Argh - time to get it DOWN!
JP song next? The glass prison intro(You know which part..)
Awesome video;)
This was great. All the tabs out there for this song are wrong and I resorted, like you, to slowing down some videos to learn the trickier portions a couple years ago. I doubt it was 100%, but I gave it the old college try. Or, a "step dad try."
You should absolutely do In the Presence of Enemies Pt 1 for those insane unison parts that I can't even physically move my fingers fast enough to play (damn you pinky!), or Stream of Consciousness/In the Name of God. Another good idea would be a seven string song with some very tricky riffs like The Enemy Inside.
Bro what timing. I was literally listening to overture a couple months back and I was like, I wanna learn this song. Then finally 3 weeks of struggling I was able to get all the parts down except the part after the second solo so I gave up. But I just revisited it again to see if I can play it and I still can't play some of the parts with 100 percent speed and accuracy.
Ima upload a cover to youtube when I can do it. I'll post it here
great video Uncle Ben
That's so weird! That's the DT clip I was watching just 15 minutes prior to getting notification for this tutelage.
Awesome video as always dude! Any insight into John's picking technique with regards to pick slanting and such? I've wanted him to show up on Cracking The Code for sooo long.
Ok , time to get frustrated
Ben, love you vidoes, man!
I love you ben! Your lessons make me play better every day! Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
Hey Ben. Yes. Us Britishers got a mench! Cheer mate !,
haha cheers man!!
Tighter than a frogs asshole! Holy crap you had me dying. But seriously this is awesome! Thank you! This will be my next dream theater song to learn now. Definitely a great song. Just never thought to try it.
Benjamin: “YOU’RE GONNA HIT THAT GODDAMN CAT!!”
OH MY GOD!!!
@@BenEller I love you still
The stems are from Jammit, if you're handy you'll find them on google.
I must say I like those Rubik's cubes my fellow nerd. You have the fast fingers, what's you best solve time bro?
great vid ! that upstroke trick helped a lot. my fingers trip up on the riff just before the riff that includes the unison section. maybe i'm missing something simple? I didn't see it covered in this vid.
Finally!!!!!!, Thx Uncle
7:31 See this is why my fingers hate you Ben!!!
Nice lesson uncle Ben!
Need to learn some DT? you guys should check out Mr Evan Bradley.
Great breakdown! This song is a challenge we should all accept!
Great musicians, but I never liked the music, way too congested and pretentious for my taste.
I’m always on the lookout for the self congratulatory smile when you nail a tricky solo. Love it!
Best lessons on TH-cam. Per usual, thank you for uploading.
It's probably the Dream Theater instrumental that I know best though there are bits that I definitely never learned properly and still fudge my way through even after 20+ years of playing it. It's also one of my favorite DT songs overall.
I've finally learned this properly in its entirety along with strange deja vu after it. It only took 2 years of playing it every time I pick up a guitar. I'll probably forget it after a month of not playing it.
ah so it is the last 4 notes of a sextuplet, which obv do not have a downbeat played, followed by the downbeat of he next sextuplet.
syncopation thing?
As usual, a stellar effort! Love this! Shanksh!
2:52 I got a straight 6 watching this video
Challenge accepted - can you do the main solo on "Voices" all the way to the end.
Random question: What are you using to raise your guitar up while it's on the right leg (like at 2:46 for example. It also looks like you lower it again at 4:40). Is it just a footstool, or a guitar rest or something? I've always found playing on my right leg to be tricky for the higher frets, so I'm wondering what your solution is.
Hmm honestly I wasn’t aware I was doing it haha.... I probably just had my foot on the roller leg of my chair.
Where did you get that necklace?
Etsy!!!
Fantastic, only just started learning this recently
thank god you mentioned pick slanting for the first fast scale, it helped me a lot!
That sextuplet riff made my fingers pregnant
This is probably a bit controversial, but I always preferred this as an instrumental over dance of eternity
Me too. This one sounds like a little narrative, Dance sounds like an anthology of complex riffs.
This is my favorite DT song by far.
I think one complements the other perfectly. Overture is a perfect album opener, the arrangements of the main themes you're going to listen on the album are just amazing, and it is a very satisfying composition to listen to. The Dance is the opposite: dark, chaotic, but still incredibly well written, each part flows into the next one seemlessly, which is one of the achievements of Overture as well
Awesome song. Really glad you did this one.
I just needed some Uncle Ben in my life
if u add tabs to your lessons I let u have my aunt for a night.. :l
in britain, it's actually known as YouValve
Woah! hair looking nice
Haha thank you!!!
Ok that Revv is a beautiful thing.
I've been waiting for this video since 1999
This song rocks! Do Erotomania next!
Great vid , such a killer song.
