you bet your ass im still listening to this
Agree
What songs from Distance Over Time and A View From The Top Of The World would you make #s 15 and 16?
you know hes playing dream theater when he has to sit down
😂✌
Andrea, this video of yours made me discover DreamTheater
I am forever in your debt
There are like the most amazing band, they have enough good songs from multiple good ballads to long instrumental masterpieces, some of them are one of the hardest song to play
*you chose wisely*
I’m so happy someone else has had the experience of discovering Dream Theater. My first experience was one of my friends putting on Scenes From A Memory while we played video games at his house back in 2006 or 2007. My life has never been the same.
Well, mine was a goosebumps-worthy. I was at the lowest point of my life so far and reach the point of wanting to get the answer of the reason of my life and suddenly while playing random songs on Spotify there goes 'Where did we come from, why are we here, where do we go when we die...'
8:01 The solo of "The best of times" is absolutely outstanding. The context of the band in that moment, the reason the song was written for... the perfect notes for a funeral song, and for goodbyes.
Black Clouds & silver linings is and has always been probably my favorite dream theater album. It doesn’t have the legendary concept status that SFAM has, but the songwriting, riff writing, and solos have to be my favorites.
@@rustyshackelford4503 SFAM?
For me one of their best solos ever. So emotional
JakeDean scenes from a memory
@@rustyshackelford4503 ah gotcha
Some of Petrucci's best solos combine shredding and melody all once. And some blues licks that even David Gilmore would be proud of.
it does sound like a combo of Pink Floyd and later Queen
He's so good at writing solos. He knows the balance between shredding, melody, and licks.
I don't think that I've ever been this impressed by a guy in jean shorts
Jorts and an SG with Dream Theater. Can't make this shit up.

Holy shit dream theater solos are no joke and you nailed them
Petrucci is at the top of greatest guitarists of all time. His sense of melody and excellent technique is beyond imagination.
I didn't want this video to end. Ever.
If aliens ever visit earth, we need to show them Dream Theater
Jose Boobtwista hahahahha totally agree
then they would say hi to their old friends
And the Aliens will geht down on their knees.
absolutly.. lol
First we'll have to explain to them that pitch is a constant rate of air wiggles.
Now 50 riff from Dream theater
you mean, play any dream theater song
Miguel Fernandez Millan what
He means any given DT song contains more riffs than you can shake a stick at. It's a compliment.
well... its an suicide attemp.. 50 riff from dt is gonna burn your fingers and brain.. 😂😂
Dance of eternity cover..??
8:01
"Close your eyes and begin to relax. Take a deep breath, and let it out
slowly. Concentrate on your breathing. With each breath you become more
relaxed"
9:35
"Imagine a brilliant white light above you, focusing on this light as
it flows through your body. Allow yourself to drift off as you fall deeper and
deeper into a more relaxed state of mind."
TheShiver Lucid Dream Theater feat. Tipharot guided hypnosis
Apart from your resplendent and immaculate solos, I absolutely loved the way you combined the different ones together. Justice has been done to the bearded god.
“the bearded god” 🤣
Seriously this, the transitions were perfect! I find myself expecting those when I listen to the real songs now lol
Plebs: "John Petrucci has no feel"
Me: "ehm..."
The Stargazer yup, people seem to think that if someone's ridiculously technical that they can't also have feel. JP has both
These guys who say that are either stupid or never actually listened to Dream Theater.
The Stargazer, that solo on "Beyond This Life" is killer. By the way, that entire song is pure feeling.
OR maybe he FEELS TOO MUCH.
Steve Vai has no feel XD he is shit.
Every solo is executed so perfectly, yet it felt so awkward after every song because I know all of them by heart and they transition so quickly that my head can't get around it.
*thinks of the next part of the song after solo*
*solo changes*
wait WhaT?!
That was me during About To Crash
"Where's the rest of the solo (for me the best part)???"
i like the transition because it shows creativity putting the tracks together.
Yes, its normal u feel this, but the guy did an Amazing job with them, rly cool, professional and talented work really. Congrats
dagerhabid snakeskin that was me during Overture 1928 and This Dying Soul
I cry even when I hear the Best of Times solo
i cry every time i listen to that song. the lyrics are so happy but nostalgic, and nostalgia always hits me. it huts even hardwr since that nostalgia is fun one had with their now deceased fathe
I don't think I had ever heard it before until now, but holy crap it's amazing.
One of his best
Sacrificed sons has to be one of their most underrated solos.
indeed.
once again you reminded that DT's music is unbeatable on this planet
Gojira would like to know your location
Music is a competition?
@@sieni221 it’s an opinion
@@jonahm3121 what? Gojira makes completely different music and much less complicated than Dream Theater!
"Instead of requesting 50 ___ riffs i'll just comment on how amazing your playing is" - said no one ever
The Best Of Times has clearly one of the best solos I've ever had the fortune to listen to
Lines in the Sand is one of my favorite DT songs. The album, Falling Into Infinity, is vastly underrated.
Agree, very underrated!
Also very hated. One of my favourites DT albums, i think Derek Sherinian did a fantastic job on this one, particulary in Hell’s Kitchen/Lines in The sand and Trial of Tears. He doesn’t gets the credit that he deserves.
@@CLord Guys u r soooo right!!! But Derek in our eyes, deserves all of the
best, best, best!!!! Only stupid can hate Falling.....only stupid musically deaf
I really love Hell's Kitchen + Lines in the Sand combo!
I agree with you....I love the entire album
Greetings from die-hard DT fan from Poland. I love you because:
1. you play a lot better than me :)
2. you picked solos very tastefully (although from Metropolis I would pick The Spirit Carries On, more emotional)
3. you saved the most beautiful one for last :)
good job!
save the best for last. perfect
yeah he sould have picked the spirit carries on
Totally agree. I would have picked "Spirit Carries On" and "Repentence". That solo gives me the chills everytime. But apart from that, I'm speechless. The guys nailed every solo.!! I could close my eyes and swear it's JP playing them.!!
The solo from the spirit carries on is kind of long. Just staying a fact, I would have picked it too.
Best of times is hands down one of the best solos ever
Pooya Shirazi I completely agree the solo by itself is amazing but in context with the song it’s special
Best of times is the best ever
Liked bro
Setuju bro!
Yes, it is.
Best of times is the best of times! haha!
Most beautiful guitar solo
“PeTrUcCi HaS nO fEeL hE cAn OnLy PlAy FaSt”
Petrucci had feels. Today, meh...
@@StefanoBorini I think their new stuff since mike mangini joined is no where near the level of what it was when they had mike portnoy.
When has anyone ever said Petrucci can only play fast?
Go listen to celine dion..
@@StefanoBorini Check Barstool Warrior, At Wit's End.
Lines in the Sand ........ beyond emotions and words ..... i miss old DT
3:25
Just had to leave this here so I can repeat it over and over.
The best of times = The best of solos
My list
Afterlife -WDADU
Learning to live - Images
Voices - Awake
Another world - change of seasons
Lines in the sand - falling into infinity
The spirit carries on - Metropolis
Goodnight kiss - SDOIT
This dying soul - train of thought
The razors edge - Octavarium
The ministry of lost souls - systematic chaos
The best of times - black clouds
Breaking all illusions - ADTOE
Illumination theory - self titled
Our new world - Dream Theater the musical
At wits end - distance over time
AVFTTOTW- AVFTTOTW
The solo on Goodnight Kiss is literally one of the only Petrucci solos that has almost brought me to tears. The melancholic nature of the song combined with the that soaring solo always gets me.
Barstool warrior and Constant motion
@@JamesEnsor Same here! :)
I pretty much agree with all of these, just The Count of Tuscany intro solo for BCASL, but The Ministry of Lost Souls is the only solo to make me shed a tear. also i pissed myself at "Dream Theater the musical"
Barstool Warrior - DxT
The Alien - A View From the Top of the World
I love how you kind of injected your own personality into these solos, too. They're JP's notes and everything, but I can hear your playing "tics" through it all. Takes a great player to take solos from someone as top-level as JP and make them your own. Kudos!
I'm crying when it comes to Breaking All Illusions and The Best of Times solo guitars.
John Petrucci is a genius!
A total genius!
Well done ma man
My favorite of all these solos is definitely the one from The Best of Times. I'm no guitarist myself, so I may be saying nonsense, but I feel John Petrucci managed to capture perfectly the feelings Mike Portnoy had at that time. Sadness for losing his father to such a terrible illness. Joy for the time they spent together. Grief. Loneliness. I remember being brought to tears when I heard the song for the first time, and I showed the solo to my father. He was almost crying as well by the end of it.
You don't need to be a guitarist to say that. I totally agree I always cry uncontrollably when it comes on
The solos that bring a tear to my eye are Sacrificed Sons, Repentance, Illumination Theory and Spirit Carries On and last but not least Glasgow Kiss!!!!
50 Riff from Dream Theater!!!!
This is true art, the best youtuber
The way you joined all the solos together seamlessly in post edit is next level!
I love the transition from Our New World to Sacrificed Sons😍 goodjob mate! 👍
the solo from lines in the sand is played without wah because I hate wah and I don't own the pedal.
I know that a change of seasons is an EP, but I decided to put a solo from that anyway.
in these videos everything is recorded from zero, no external backing tracks are involved.
thanks for watching
Andrea Boma Boccarusso ohh , kirk hammet will hate you!
kirk hammet will hate you
How can someome hate on wah??
Personally, my favorite solo of this video was "Lines In The Sand". Good job, man!
Waldo Torres well if you listen to too much Kirk hammet
50 DREAM THEATER RIFFS
DEATH riffs come first man
0:00 The moment I hear that note I know...
That's how you know a solo is well written and memorable.
Lines on the Sand is by far the most beautiful DT solo. Congrats, man!
Next time somebody says "John Petrucci can only play fast and has no feel" show them this video as prove them wrong
Derrick Fox - wtf he is not Petrucci
Exactly show them John playing not Andrea
Hassanbulat Games tbh objectively Andrea really ain't far off, he truly is a polished player
Petrucci have feeling... like Steve Vai...
Juan Pablo Alvarez Doesn’t matter.. these are Petrucci solos executed to perfection by Andrea. If anyone wanted a glimpse of some of the finest melodies by Petrucci , this video would do justice :)
YESS dream theater, thank you!
The solo from Overture 1928 is the closing melody of Metropolis pt 1 omg
MostlyIrishCarGuy literally everyone knows that
Jacob Rapoport I didnt. I'm pretty new to DT
MostlyIrishCarGuy oh true. Listen to stream of consciousness then its fire
Just keep listening to Metropolis Pt.2 until you can sing along by heart - best feeling ever
@@qwantinmoe6215 I'm more partial to In the Name of God. Singing that last part in a room with good acoustics is pretty amazing.
The beginning of the Best Of TImes solo is totally an homage to the chord changes in Mr. Crowley. Awesome job! 🤘
How can The Spirit Carries On be not on this list? Every time i hear that solo I wanna cry.
it seems solo from the best of times is very very important for Andrea. He took the more time in this video to play this solo than previous ones)) But it is great becase it would be crime to cut it.
It is really beautiful one. John is genius. And You Andrea did the great job!Thank you so much! And the special thank for TOOL riffs and TOOL "Vicarious" vocal cover!
Maybe because is the longest one of all 14 solos? idk maybe thats why
Other solos are longer in original version too)But they were cutted)
Grolon Fearreal Because that solo is the Best, That's it. And you can see how he really enjoyed that part
I would do it that way to, that solo is amazing it gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
“The best of times” simplesmente o melhor 🙏🙌🏽👊🏽
Primeira vez q eu ouvi foi no carro do trampo com o meu patrão. Nossa reação no final desse solo maravilhoso foi a mesma, lacrimejar e falar ironicamente "john petrucci n tem feeling". Q solo fantástico mesmo dps de mais de 10
8:04 my absolute favorite solo of all bands probably...
it's beasty yet emotional with mixes of feelings
Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks Andrea... amazing covers!!! DT is my favorite music band.
Keep on rocking..
TheGrinchGE *DT isn't a music band, it's a Masterpiece band ! :)
Dream Theater is a music band
The others are song bands
its my favorite band from now :)
I have been waiting for a video about Dream Theater THANK YOU
Amazing!
No trem's; no 24 frets!
Nailed it!
That solo and passage of Erotomania is absolutely of the most great piece of music ever composed
The Best of Time. You nailed it man!
I used to think Lines in the Sand was my favourite, but I'm now all about In The Presence of Enemies. The combination of that solo and the chords underneath it are just epic. JP is a *very* melodic player and I'll fight anyone who says he isn't :-)
6:36 Breaking all Illusions Solo is my favourite with The Best of Times, such great and melodic solos
6 years had passed and still it is one of my favourite cover music video on TH-cam.
Andrea, thank you for it!
15 Megadeth solos for each album respectively
Fuck yes! I desperately want to see him do Hangar 18.
@@theaterdreamer hangar 18 alone is 15 solos
The solo in Another Day is absolutely phenomenal
This feels like a whole song itself with all these solos beautifully organized, creating a masterpiece.
I have covid 19 and now I'm hospitalized. This is what I listen to every morning.
Did you get better?
@@pedroantonelli2073 I'm back on my feet, was in the hospital 15 August - 1 September 2020. Thanks to Dream Theater.
Sono un italiano semplice. Vedo un altro italiano che suona i Dream Theater, clicco mi piace.
Ma quanti italiani ci sono che ascoltano i DT?
Anche a me è preso il patriottismo quando ho visto che era italiano :D
Allora non sono l’unico italiano qua?😂
A me è piaciuto tantissimo e avrei voluto commentare in inglese .. Poi ho visto con stupore "l'italianitá"... Quindi complimenti e ottima scelta ed esecuzione dei pezzi!!! Ps. Peccato non avere messo "Take away my pain" che ha un assolo che con 3 note (rispetto agli altri) ti trasmette l'universo...
Ps2. Ci sono altri italiani!!! 😉
Petrucci Giovanni ....santo subito!!!
I'm gonna see them in October for the first time in my life .. So excited 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
mody T Indian?
Sohum nop.. Saudi
How was the show? I've seen DT ten times in total, but not since after the Octavarium tour. I really need to get off my ass and go see them with Mangini. He's one of my favorite drummers. Saw him play with Extreme. Holy shit, the people complaining about Portnoy just need to see them with MM.
I come back here all the time, amazing playing
This is the best "The Best Of Times" solo cover among the all cover from TH-cam. Thumbs up 👍♥️
You show a lot of talent and dedication. Well done, Andrea!
well done sir. I like that you could feel the emotion in those solos! I feel it really shows in this video.
What a time to be alive, wiping my *ss to some of the greatest written solo's in the music industry.
Speechless. You are incredible. Thumbs up!
This was absolutely astounding. Thank you for posting.
50 Death riffs
Shiver it would be awesome
Been waiting for a good while now, would definitely love to see this
Shiver hell Yeah!!!
Hell yes!
Yess! Up!!!
I've watched this video at least 30 times. JP is a musical genuis
Yea same, I keep coming back to it every once in a while because it’s so beautiful
Andrea great job, what a great way to place all this epic solos together 🙌🏻
I'm surprised you didn't go with Another World for A Change of Seasons, The Spirit Carries On for Scenes From a Memory, Goodnight Kiss for Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, Razor's Edge for Octavarium, Repentance for Systematic Chaos, and A New Beginning for The Astonishing. However it was nice to hear different solos for once and you played all of them perfectly. And playing The Best of Times was the perfect way to end this video. Probably my all time favorite guitar solo.
i think is because he try to do a continuous. Some stuff are hard to match.
I think he also took into consideration how they sounded when played together. This combination of solos just flows really nicely.
Nigga read the title it's "14 meldic dream theatre solos" NOT "ALL melodic dream thaetre solos "
Thats your favorite nigga. This was his list and his video.
X2
I imagine the work you just had just in the backing track of this and glue'ing all together almost seamlessy ... KUDOS for this!
Absolutely brilliant man! Superb playing and syncing of all the solos together!
I haven't heard all Petrucci's solo, but "the best of times" solo gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. It is truly amazing, melodic, sweet, fast, it has got everything I want in a guitar solo
Glad to see my favorite DT song, Illumination Theory, represented! Great video!
Davvero bellissimi assoli suonati benissimo. BRAVOOO🤘🤘🤘
This blew my mind dude, the segues between each song, the masterful replication of each solo, I've been into DT for around 12 years now and you've got my approval! I love it!
happy that I found this channel. every video is amazing. Subscribed
Absolutely amazing playing bro! The margin for error is so infinitesimally tiny that it barely exists...
Millions will learn and play guitar, many will succeed and rock, many will fail and quit. Many will Djent, but few will shred.
Even fewer still will emulate John Petrucci, and out of the many that will succeed, none, if any will nail the phrases flawlessly... Lest you are Andre or JP himself
Out of all those levels of Petrucci Guitar Initiation, NO ONE have proven their capabilities quite like you. Like your other 50 Riffs videos, they're just PACKED with flawlessly executed playing, mixing and presentation!
You're truly one of a kind and I aspire to play like you someday.. you're in every sense of the word a 'Guitar Hero'.
Thanks for the inspiration and badass audio.
Peace from Philadelphia!!!!!!
-Shane Boynton
The best of times solo is....the best of its time.
Amazing Medley !!!! I totally loved this collection of solos, and you've played it very well, congrats !! S2
Andrea this is absolutely outstanding, all my congrats for your technique. Specially The Best of Times sounds terrific!
50 Riffs from Pink Floyd
Wow. Your take on 'Another Day' (one of my top five favorite guitar solos ever) was breathtaking! Great job man!
Still waiting for a video showing us your recording setup. ;-)
Wow, congratulations. You killed that the best of times solo bro, speechless.
Video fantastico, grazie Andrea!
2019 back here! best part in this video 0:00 - 10:57
3:27 that transition was so perfect =')
Man, i loved every second of this video! Great job and thanks for sharing this wonderful solos lml. The ending was...Emotionally Epic!
Wonderful job Andrea! Wow!
My favorite band ever !
Fantastico sapere che in Italia abbiamo gente con del così buon gusto e spiccato talento.
Such crazy piece of work has been done! Perfect done
Petrucci might not be the fastest player alive, might not have the most iconic and headbanging riffs, might not be that famous, but it is certain for me that he is the best solo writer of all time. Gilmour has also written solos just as good, but only a few of them, while this human-machine is making every single solo count. No notes sound out of place in his solos, when other solo guitarists just sound like improvising. And the fact that he is so underrated makes him so much more special for me. Respect dude!
I'm a hardcore DT fan, I listened only to them for 2-3 years straight, have all their albums except first, and I have to say one of petrucci's best solos is from A New Beginning
I love dt too, been listening to them since I was like 8 years old, believe it or not lol. Saw them live back in April and it was simply incredible. My favourite solo probably is Another Day, and I guess for pure shred I love the solo from stream of consciousness
JaguarGod gotta agree with you both solos are amazing. Petrucci never fails to deliver. Still all of them are my favourite musicians are their instruments, can't wait for the next album. Sadly I'll never see them as I'm south african, but I would be first in that stadium if they came :) I also got my dad hooked a long while ago about 3 years ago, and now he loves Porcupine Tree with me too. Prog is awesome and I hope it goes on from here
JaguarGod saw them in April too, was so happy they played a change of seasons, even without MP.
JP best solo is The Best Of Time.
JP's Another Day solo is just majestic as hell, isn't it?
Good Night Kiss is propably ( imho ) the most emotional petrucci solo
HOLLOWOXDT1 the whole song is quite emotional, the background noises near the end made it even more dramatic
Honestly, it’s the song that made me appreciate Dream Theater at the level I do now
I think the same!
Hey Man ! Greetings from Indonesia .. This video is probably my most watched Dream Theater solos cover video ever .. all of the best and my favorite tracks are in it .. and you killed it man !!! Super awesome ...
