It's extra long cuz Dream Theater
김우진 Literally the best comment here, haha
김우진 hahaha
lol
Too right 😂
If it's not longer than the commercial norm, it's just not Dream Theater.
Given that our musical tastes are a little different & our levels of ability are miles apart, I wasn't sure how this interview would go. But I needn't have worried!! John is such a cool, humble & easy to get along with guy. He was so engaging & happy to talk about whatever we wanted to in the interview. He even let his lunch go cold when two young fans saw us eating & wanted to talk to him! I know this is a long video, but take your time, stick it on the big screen, kick back with a beer & take it all in!! You'll learn something for sure. Thanks to John & to everyone involved in making this interview happen. Loved it!!
These are all so fantastic Cap. You have something really special in this channel.
I'm glad to see someone as massively influential as John in one of these videos. Dream Theater is the first prog band I ever listened to, and while they're not my favorite, they do have some of my favorite prog songs of all time, and I never would've gotten into bands like Meshuggah, Periphery, and Mastodon without hearing DT first.
On the topic of prog metal musicians... Nolly from periphery would be amazing to see a Capt. Meets of. No idea if he'd be willing to, but I think every single bass player in your audience would implode simultaneously if so.
CaptAnderton Thanks for this interview, Lee. It made my week.
Lee you're interviews are by far the most in depth and laid back I have seen! We really get to know the artist, completely different league to interviews elsewhere. Top stuff, keep it up and thanks very much!
CaptAnderton Awesome !
Mr. Petrucci is a genuinely good man. There is no arrogance about him. No duplicity. He's down-to-earth and kind. And one hell of a guitarist!
"The last thing you want is like a flubby, loose bottom end. Thats not only in the sound, but as a person." ~ JP, 2017
1:04:56
You gotta love him!
I laughed out loud at that. Hilarious.
Dang... there goes two hours out of my working day!
good thing this works as podcast, at least that's how I listen to these
Samma här :S
That's what we want to hear :) Enjoy!
Well, I'm working while watching it actually xD
EPIC !
*Sees Capt Meets JP video* - "YES!!!"
*Sees video is two hours long* "YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!"
same hahaha
this is the best thing to ever wake up to lol
It's a prog length interview :D
😄 Brilliant! And my thought exactly! 😄
I too am elated.. but sadly I have to break it up into 30 minute doses.. time is money afterall.. or at least time is time I could be sleeping
I love this interview. I feel that John Petrucci often gets very miscast as a player. People often focus on him being this amazingly fast and technically proficient virtuoso guitarist. And don't get me wrong he is that and that's impressive enough on its own but he's more than that. He's also a player with a fantastic sense of melody and phrasing who can make the most beautiful chord progressions and some absolutely monstrous riffs. The guy is a true master of the guitar and he's also incredibly humble and comes off as a really nice cool guy.
he could have been the greatest modern jazz guitarist
I love how he's so comfortable saying: "Yeah I don't know the answer to that" When a statement is being made. An open mind like that seems like a rare occurrence on YT
HOLY SHIT WHAT NO WAY THIS IS REAL
1:38:39 to hear John do a big gulp BTW
Filthy Pete the Internet Peasant hawt
2 hours with Guitar Jesus? You've shattered all expectations.
tharris3600 this is the best comment ever! Why is it not top comment?
Then who is guitar God?
David Gilmour?
Chelonia Mydas Danish Pete?
you're confused, this episode is with John Petrucci, not Guthrie Govan
greekfreak1980 He's Italian so more accurately Guitar Jupiter but he's really got the Norse look down so Guitar Odin?
It's lovely to hear John Petrucci speaking. So calm and peaceful.
I know people are already saying this ... but this is how you know Petrucci is the nicest dude. He took his time with this interview, he intently listens to the captain, and there is no arrogance whatsoever about anything he says or does. I love this guy so much and he deserves every bit of legendary status he procures.
Yes
This video is almost as long as my favourite Dream Theater song
Jaedon McCulloch sooooooooo metropolis part 1 and scenes from a memory PLUS the glass prison and octavarium so that you get the extended ending?
Looool at OP post!
Joe Yuzwa I think the part where they talk about strings was about where In The Presence of Enemies went into Part 2.
Best of Time ending solo.
I would love to see Cap meets Devin Townsend
Juanma Perera yes definitely
Hell, get the real Townsend.. Pete should live nearby by, Yes .. or perhaps I mean who?
No offense to the great Pete Townshend, but Devin's better.
Please
Might want to consider getting Chappers in the room on that one as well, would be the most hilarious interview ever. I'd watch two hours of that, and more.
John Petrucci and Paul Gilbert always give Alex Lifeson kudos. Lifeson is so underrated as a guitarist.
Hé is not. He rules. He got his model on Gibson and he is still underrated? I don’t think so.
@@blender1188 I take your point, but the dude was in a band with GEDDY LEE and NEIL PEART, for heaven’s sake... So, yeah, he kinda has been a little overlooked as a guitarist. But not by those who take their playing seriously. Among other things, his solo ideas are always unexpected, even off the wall strange, and yet thoroughly idiosyncratic at the same time, which is about the rarest thing there is with guitarists.
I love how John tells his story. He's full of humility, but also oozing with skills...and facial hair.
The Captain meets Jimi Hendrix please!!!
are you being serious
Nico Rios Cardona I'm not sure if that's possible
Nico Rios Cardona it is only if you believe hard enough
Nico Rios Cardona than he has to meat philip Sayce
Make sure the ventilation is working well.
The Captain needs to have Eric Johnson for an interview about gear secrets and what his tone inspirations are, please upvote this so the captain can see it :)
Play a Strat, mix of Marshall and Fender Amps, and roll off the treble.... It's not rocket science.... Those three things will get you 90% of the way there.
I'm not saying you will sound *exactly* like the guy, of course not, but saying the above tips will get you a majority of the way there.
I have an autographed pickguard of his 3 feet from me. You get a like for your request!
A Musicman MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!
A Musicman
Yess please!!!
john always manages to play exactly what i want to hear with his solos. whatever i want to come next does its insane
I know exactly what you mean 🤣
Is that a bad thing tho? If a musician plays everything as expected, doesn't that lose the element of surprise? I like John because he plays things out of my expecation, and I think that's what makes him a great musician
@@jimyang8824 I guess some people find comfort in expected things happening. He could also mean that JP always delivers the style he likes, but the element of surprise is still there.
It's been a long time since i spent two hours on youtube without regretting it
I predict that this will be one of the most popular videos that Andertons has ever put out, if not THE most popular...
primeDecomposition I understand what you mean brother, but that video is on Chappers channel. This is the Anderson's channel. so I see what he meant.
I swear I can hear Rabea having a pull in the corner.
So, this was a comment from 2 years ago, and I've come back after 2 years of pondering. And I'm here to say:
What the fuck
I haven't been this hard since my sister got donkey punched.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is that you patrick rafter?
Hahahaha. It’s rare a comment makes me laugh but you my friend succeeded and I read as John was chugging away 😂
What a great guy. Not only an amazing player , probably the best guitarist of the world right now , but a very nice person. HE MANAGE HIS OWN AMP AND SOUND. great great video.
What does Maddie do?
Cap: "So what do you hear when you're on stage?"
JP: "COMPLETE GLORY"
a change of season in the intro!!
Norskutenstrev When I heard him starting with Change of Seasons, I knew this was going to be good. Even better that they played the whole song live just a few days ago in London!
+ImageRaiter my all time favourite Dream Theater tune! It must be so geat ti see it live!
And it was my favourite part as well!!! I legitimately screamed when he started playing, and started singing along HAHAHAHAHA
Rick Beato and The Capt in one week? John is killing it!
JPs tone is like drinking the finest wine there is!!!!!
Great interview thank you!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again...... The Captain Meets - Danish Pete 👍🏻
I'll say that with you all day
also danish pete chapman sig? MAKE IT HAPPEN I'll BUY ONE
OMG, yes! What a superb idea. Captain, pay attention.
tallalexander this is a great idea. wish i could thumbs up more than once
I have been badgering The Captain and Danish Pete over on The Captain's new Instagram.... and now I'm doing on the UA-cam channel!
Although if I'm honest, I think someone suggested this long before I thought of it. I can't remember who though...🤔
Not only is Pete a superb player but he's a super nice guy who probably has an interesting backstory to his guitaring.
It's kinda funny how Rob Chapman is always like SHRED SHRED SHRED in the videos they do together. But then John freaking Petrucci's playing here is mostly very subtle and just like doo de doo de doo.
Lee Hunter the truly great ones don't tend to show off.
yep, although I wish he would use a bit less fx in these kind of things, there was also this clinic where he uses a ton of delay which I imagine fits better when he is playing in DT, but solo like this, it would be nicer if he rolled that a bit back
daolchang Yeah, agreed. I have to admit though, I saw DT live a couple of days ago in Toronto, and his heavy rhythm tone was absolutely brutal (in a good way). He shouldn't change his heavy rhythm tone, it's perfect!
Playing fast isn't always showing off. Some people actually enjoy the energy of shred and are able to, quite easily, feel the emotion and soul from fast stuff in the same way others, usually the one who scoff at anything about 8th notes, feel emotion from the slow stuff.
I think shred usually gets a bad rep because the majority of serious guitarists are... old. They want music from their era and haven't quite been sensitized to the subtleties lurking in the speed. That and that assclown Malmsteen doesn't really help.
KX5Kat I love shred! I have to admit that the first time I heard of Petrucci was back in high school, when a friend of mine that was very knowledgable about all things metal, knew that I was very hard to please with regards to lead guitar. He knew that I was looking for extremely fast shredding, but that I was dissatisfied with the more popular shredders out there, such as Dimebag Darrel, Kirk Hammett, Jeff Hanneman, etc. He said "you need to check out Dream Theater,, their guitarist, John Petrucci may be the fastest guitarist out there, and more importantly, his technique is perfect!" My first JP experience happened shortly thereafter when a fellow student in my grade 10 guitar class brought in his VHS copy of JP's "Rock Discipline", and I remember when he started playing the chromatic exercises, I thought to myself "This guy's speed and precision is freakish". I couldn't believe how relaxed he looked, and how professional his technique looked - seated with his left leg raised on a footrest, classical position, and the only movement in his alternate picking technique was in the wrist (I know he's become somewhat of a forearm picker in the last 10 years, but he never used to be). The thing I like about Petrucci is that even when he does play slower stuff, because of things like his tendency to rake into notes, his perfect vibrato, and his note selection, it still sounds completely bad ass. You see, as much as I am a shred fan, I can appreciate the slower playing too, as long as it's done right. I can't stand when someone is playing slow just due to limitations in their technique, which usually results in boring movements within the pentatonic box positions, and the sustaining of notes that aren't strong notes (hey, let's feature the note A while playing in the key of Em, over top of a G chord 🙄).
Great interview! thanks!
just wonderful to seat and listen to a humble guy talking about his passion and success
The point where John says" One thing i don't like is timid players"..... To Lee Anderton.....
I feel you....
@Eric Byrd He isn't anywhere near as good as he used to be when playing the much better sounding Ibanez. I have just bought a Jem floral from 1990 and it sounds better than these Majesty guitars and the other Ernie Ball guitars he has been using.
@@MICKEYISLOWD i just bought another ibanez and as much as i love it to death because im still in the honeymoon phase with it, I wouldn't try to deny the greatness of his majesty line.
Mickeyislowd yea..he hasnt progressed as a player in 20yrs cuz the guitar isnt as good 🤦🏽♂️
He is the man who with his guitar rig regulate the energy output of the sun, remember those videos? Anybody become “timid” before him.
TFW your god tells you to scoop the mids
He just tells ya to listen with your ears not your eyes.
Gear Gods LOL
I believe in to each ther own though. If someone likes there own tone, then they do. Sometimes some people want to tone match a bit sometimes though like I do and sometimes I like using my own made tones.
@@SpartanLaserCanon Right. people seem to chase the tone of others. Then everything sounds the same and lacks originality
Beautiful music is in the ear of the beholder.
What a great interview, thank you very much!
This was just amazing thanks for uploading! Cheers!!
I have an exam tomorrow but fuck it. I'm gonna watch this 3 times.
That's probably a bad idea, buddy. lol
Onur Uysal you've got company bruh! 😅✌️
10 page research paper on gas turbine blades due tomorrow... here I am.
you should invite rick graham!
was just thinking that! Rick is a true beast...
Fernando Moreno does he have any signature gear that Lee can sell...?
David Tomkins he's an Ibanez artist isn't he? Must be an angle somewhere :)
I don't think he is.
***** he met guthrie so the cap is ready to meet anyone lol
Great interview, John is a down to earth genius!
He starts with my favorite part from a change of seasons. I play and sing this part every single day, it's so beautiful...
Maybe the best clean sound for metal I've ever heard!
As John grows more powerful....so does his beard.
Very Samson-like.
Well of course! It's the source of his power.
Same as Zakk lol
Every cord he has played in one of his songs he has a hair for
Still waiting for him to join the metal santa club with Tom Araya and Al Cisneros
One of my heroes! Petrucci's such a good player and a chill dude!
Thanks for the show captain. John is such a humble person and great to see him talk deep from the heart.
didn't expect john to be this chatty. This is a real treat !
Oussama Okbi I was thinking that too - JP is like Mr Chitty chat chat ha ha ha
JP seems like a really chill guy, I've never seen him being anything but polite and chatty to anyone speaking to him.
Just a lovely guy, with such good heart! It's clear he came for a reason to this world, and he's been filling his destiny with style, riding high. Thanks for all the best!
It took the Majesty demo to encourage me to spend 2 hours watching this, but what a great interview! John Petrucci is just amazingly impressive, not just in his playing, but his personality. How many huge guitar heroes would generously give hours of his time for a UA-cam interview? I suspect, not many. Many people could learn from this.
fastest i've ever clicked a notification.
haha for me it was the fastest click on "like" (even BEFORE I started watching it), "favorite" and "watch it later" just to make sure I woudn't miss it.
lol same here
The Captain Meets Richie Kotzen!
THAT would be great indeed!
Yes pleaaaassssseeeeee
Thank you! Excellent interview.
I'm not a huge DT fan at all, but he seems like such a wonderful human being that I just had to watch the whole thing. That man truly loves his music and his fans. You can tell he's not acting or pretending to be down to earth. He really is.
SECRETARY, CLEAR MY SCHEDULE!!
Lee... thanks for all those great interviews. That relaxed style of talking to great musicians in _human mode_ instead of _celebrity mode_, off the beaten path and the usual questions of fans and magazines, until what started as an interview becomes simply two musicians chatting about their passion is rare, refreshing, and very much appreciated. Greetings from Austria!
Fantastic interview. Thank you!
Probably the best interviewe yet. JP is such a awesome human being. Well done JP for more musicians like you!
Liked and faved before I even started watching.
same here haha
that tone 😍😍😍
This is awesome! Great job! Thank you!
What a wonderful interview, you both had such a connection! I appreciate how humble John is…eye contact, nobody talking over each other. Very well done. Bravo 👏
It's alright Captain don't worry, I wouldn't have the guts to jam with John Petrucci either
I mean bro he is god isn't he. John wouldn't mind if you failed because most can't even stand the power of his shreds
@@atharvagokhale6738 ..why are you calling a man god?
I must have missed that bit where they jammed - oh, cos they didn't !!!
@@sunavila Look up the videos "John Petrucci psycho exercises 2 and 3 and the secret tape". He is god!
It’s like DPing a slut with Mandingo
John is a down to earth man. He explains everything. The way he talks seems so polite and soft.
this may by the best petrucci interview ever, great job, thanks!!!
these vids just get better and better, absolutely insane tones from JP and such a humble guy
Given John's aesthetic, I've always been very wary of him. But I'm so honestly overwhelmed by how mild mannered he is. He seems like one of the most polite, dedicated and intelligent people I've ever come across. His knowledge of every product his name is on is far superior to most who just want the attachment. Truly great interview.
He really is a super mellow dude. Met him after a show, and after some chatting, I straight up asked him if I could have a hug. Sure enough! He's my role model, and I'm so happy he's such a chill guy.
usually how it goes with heavy metal / rock musicians
I like that Petrucci is so down to earth and not showing off at all...
brilliant interview. Captain, you are so right, John is so humble and an incredible player.. Pull Me Under brings me to tears.
I love his attitude, he is just that perfect balance of perfection and humbleness
Ima gonna wait till Thursday to watch so I can put It on the smart tv, when the fam has left
its worth the wait
The only thing I feel when I pick up a Music Man is pain in my wallet
You sure you ever picked one up? They are unreal to put it mildly.
They are amazing indeed...
Job Muiles true, they are fantastic guitars, I also have a music man stingray bass, sweet stuff! Top notch
have played this model,AMAZING!!
thats what makes them even better, you have a dream and a purpose because of that. some thing need to be expensive because otherwise they would not even be wanted.
wow everything petrucci does is just so admiring man... humble man and when he plays you just get amazed
What a great musician, guitarist. intelligent and humble person.
Amazing mr. Petrucci!!!, please Captain meets the incredible Brian May
Captain meets Joe satriani
Yes!
+GuitarCoommander16: I would simultaneously have a heart attack and splooge all over my screen if that ever happened...And if it would be 2 hours long as well.... :)
Joe Satchton Hahaha that's brilliant, I would do the same, satch is a legend, and to have him with the captain would be awesome!
2 hours? That's one hell of a splooge... Teach me your ways!
I would like to see that.
This was a great interview
So impressed with John's musicianship, his meticulous holistic approach as well as his humble and down to earth demeanor. Great stuff!
Wait what? JP? The Capt'n is going places!
John is the man. Humble. Incredible. I've been listening since Images and Words. They are THE BEST BAND on the planet hands down!!!!
Petrucci is so Talented. Such a great player
such a heart warming interview!
Captain meets satchel!
Best suggestion yet :-)
Chuck Nuqui this definitely needs to happen!!!
I suspect most of the captains female staff would have to go on maternity leave afterwards
Oh boi, i'd like to see that
I can only thumb this up once!
Welp, now I want a JP boogie head. That thing was fucking magic. Really enjoyed this one, was lost in awe the whole time absorbing all his info. Very well spoken informative guy.
Well I suppose check out the victory range before you make that decision ;p
Cheeaaaahhhh
I had the pleasure of sitting about 10 feet away from him as he did a guitar clinic years ago and man even though most of his concepts went right over my head, i still took away so much. My favorite part was a fan asking "have you ever tried Taking your guitar knowledge and applied it to something other than music" although it kinda stumped him he managed to respond "like what, baking?" It was brilliant
Or the Mark V..... I absolutely love Boogie and would never switch again.... But it is an acquired taste, just like anything else.
Just get a Kemper Profiler
With John's success and abilities, it is inspirational to see how humble and open he is to sharing how he arrived at his accomplishments. Thank you captain for providing an open environment and some good questioning to let us get a better understanding of amazing musicians.
John is a great player and he shows as a very smart and articulated guy. Great one.
I got into DT when Guthrie Golan transcribed the solo to Under a Glass Moon in Guitar Techniques magazine. I still have it.
GOVAN!
Alan Angel - Guthrie had flu when he transcribed that solo for GT and STILL nailed it perfectly. The bastard!
Love this. Would have paid gladly $40 for a VHS tape of this interview back in '94
JAFO-PTY Please, for JP you have to get the Betamax to fully appreciate his beard 😂
Oh hell yeah man!! Well said
94 - Awake - my favorite album
The only thing that exceeds John Petrucci's playing and ear is his personality and humbleness. Hands down my favorite Captain interview and video.. great job Captain. The Mesa Boogie Mark JP-2C sounds absolutely beautiful then monstrous and then both at the same time... Boogie knocked it out of the park with that amp.
This was truly a great interview. JP is a good dude
"Engage the shred" -John Petrucci (2017)
that beard has the power to bring world peace
What a great interview. Thanks!
Great interview as with all Artists on this program.Love Petruccis tone!!Amazing player indeed!!
This is by far the best Petrucci interview on youtube
Wow, didn't see this coming at all.
Awesome interview with an incredible artist. Thanks!!
Hes just such a humble down to earth dude with no ego given hes one of the most talented musicians to come down the pipe over the last 30 years.
The Captain meets Yngwie
Just IMAGINE THAT for a second
Joseph Quinlan Rob would probably have a fanboy meltdown if that happened
After this one, I started to believe this might actually happen.
Malmsteem is such a huge dork I don't thing the Captain would enjoy it
Currently imagining a boring wankfest of arpeggios and massive egos and I'm not liking it
You just triggered a population of Yngwie haters.
two fuckin hours of John Petrucci, this is unreal
So refreshing to see such a humble, friendly and down to earth guitar god. Great interview
This is the best video on youtube.
Hands down.
Thank you!
