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!!
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.
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!
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 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
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.
@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
@@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.
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.
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
I got to meet JP and Steve Morse and these guys are just so down to earth in every way. I talked to John about his Ibanez days and he was so gracious and willing to just talk.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
Thx Captain. This has to be the best interview to date. JP is such a nice dude. Not a hint of arrogance what so ever. I have copied his amp settings but I still don't sound like him. Funny that 😜
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...🤔
John is so down to earth. You can tell he's a caring type person, even if it wouldn't be about music. He seems to be so open about what ever the subject maybe.
man its not only the amazing guitar skills petrucci has that makes me love him but his sense of humour too. he is just so down to earth and i just love him and his playing more than anything else.
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!
Hard to imagine a player more inspiring than JP. The way he approaches his technique, his gear, etc. is nothing short of mastery and it's an attitude that you can carry into other aspects of your life.
What a superb interview ! John Petrucci is so generous with his time and information and Lee asked all the right questions and encouraged John to develop his answers so we learned so much more. A very short two hours with one of the best guitarists on the planet. Bloody excellent !
I Love John Petrucci! ❤️ The guy is a legend, and he's so humble! Thank you Lee for this great interview! So full of technical info, good tips and good humour. 👏👏👏👍🎸🎶😊
1:00:37 listen how beautiful that chord progression is, it start with anoher day and then goes on....that's the sound of Dream Theater. Thanks for everything John!!!
Captain... 1:24:57 When John Petrucci speaks the words "I can demonstrate that shock if you want" you DONT reply "No no no"...NEVER!!!!! What's wrong with you man??? :P
I used to be one of those douchebags that said DT is all wankery and no feel then about a year ago I started listening to DT in depth and the amount that Petrucci has influenced my playing just in the last year is amazing. All he's made me want to do is get better and better.
I like how relaxed John is when he plays and even before I saw this video I had a feeling he was really a respectful and humble guy , like most of the 'Very" best guitar players seem have the humble quality, it's stunning to see these kids coming up and play some of John's music almost note for note and I'm glad John has a Mesa Boogie with his name on it .
Looked at the length, thought "2hrs is too bloody long". At the end I was hoping there was a part two just as long. Absolutely epic and great that JP was such a cool dude.
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.
John is so thoughtful in his approach to creating music, playing guitar, building tones, rhythms, melodies and songs. He speaks with as much thought as he plays. What an incredible gentleman. It's great to see one of the greatest guitarists of all time have such a well-grounded personality. Very refreshing.
JP is the nicest most down to earth Guitar God we have, his passion for tone and Gear and making his art perfect has been something I know he has been about since the day I saw him in Guitar World for the first time in 92 . Never get sick of hearing him play or talking about his endorsements, I have to get a Majesty and a Boogie at some point!!!!
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.

CaptAnderton Awesome !
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 !
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.
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.
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.
*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

he could have been the greatest modern jazz guitarist
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?
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.
Maybe the best clean sound for metal I've ever heard!
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
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 😂
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.
JP seems like a really chill guy, I've never seen him being anything but polite and chatty to anyone speaking to him.
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

@@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.

Lee Hunter I think John aims for fluidity, timing, and creating a well rounded Melody that actually takes you somewhere and sounds gorgeous.
Hear, hear!
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.

John is a down to earth man. He explains everything. The way he talks seems so polite and soft.

Just get a Kemper Profiler
Rick Beato and The Capt in one week? John is killing it!

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
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.
just wonderful to seat and listen to a humble guy talking about his passion and success
John is a great player and he shows as a very smart and articulated guy. Great one.
I like that Petrucci is so down to earth and not showing off at all...
that tone 😍😍😍
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
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?

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
John is the man. Humble. Incredible. I've been listening since Images and Words. They are THE BEST BAND on the planet hands down!!!!
Amazing mr. Petrucci!!!, please Captain meets the incredible Brian May
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.
It's been a long time since i spent two hours on youtube without regretting it
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
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
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.
He starts with my favorite part from a change of seasons. I play and sing this part every single day, it's so beautiful...
I loved John Petrucci as a guitarist, now I love him as a person!
This is by far the best Petrucci interview on youtube
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
Omg that litle hint, to delay the second track by 7 mil secs is massive. That makes my recordings like huuuge in comparison to before. Thanks a lot!
0:27 I'll always remember
The chill of Noveeember....
Change of seasons is my second favourite DT song.
What's your favourite?
01 11 raw dog? You, Not Me?
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.
Thx Captain. This has to be the best interview to date. JP is such a nice dude. Not a hint of arrogance what so ever. I have copied his amp settings but I still don't sound like him. Funny that 😜
There's less shame in dying in the field of battle than there is not sounding like Petrucci.
Ian Thornley is my 2nd fav
Half the tone is in his fingers
@@Crovax that's a myth
Yup! yeah, right, uh-huh, yup, yeah....
John is probably the best sales man ever for his gear without coming over as a sales man :)
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.
John is so down to earth. You can tell he's a caring type person, even if it wouldn't be about music. He seems to be so open about what ever the subject maybe.
Petrucci is so Talented. Such a great player
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!
Wow how modest is this guy!
Liked and faved before I even started watching.
same here haha
John Petrucci is awesome. Playing an awesome signature guitar. Well done John and well done Music Man
JPs tone is like drinking the finest wine there is!!!!!
man its not only the amazing guitar skills petrucci has that makes me love him but his sense of humour too. he is just so down to earth and i just love him and his playing more than anything else.
I love you John Petrucci, so humble and smart. And a great salesman too, now I NEED a Majesty guitar! hahahah
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!
Hard to imagine a player more inspiring than JP. The way he approaches his technique, his gear, etc. is nothing short of mastery and it's an attitude that you can carry into other aspects of your life.
I love his attitude, he is just that perfect balance of perfection and humbleness

Haha same
It sounds so different this way. It took me a minute.
"Engage the shred" -John Petrucci (2017)
John is a beautifull man and artist
One of my heroes! Petrucci's such a good player and a chill dude!
Wow, didn't see this coming at all.
I Love John Petrucci! ❤️ The guy is a legend, and he's so humble! Thank you Lee for this great interview! So full of technical info, good tips and good humour. 👏👏👏👍🎸🎶😊
every time JP plays you can see Lee's mind getting blown.
JP is probably the most inspiring guitarist that has lived yet. Always evolving and focused. He has all of the packages. 👌🏻
1:00:37 listen how beautiful that chord progression is, it start with anoher day and then goes on....that's the sound of Dream Theater. Thanks for everything John!!!
Damn
Congratulations at being the best guitar chanel around. Please keep doing 2 hour interviews with amazing guys.
Captain...
1:24:57
When John Petrucci speaks the words "I can demonstrate that shock if you want" you DONT reply "No no no"...NEVER!!!!!
What's wrong with you man??? :P
he did it anyways minutes later bcz he's god..
I used to be one of those douchebags that said DT is all wankery and no feel then about a year ago I started listening to DT in depth and the amount that Petrucci has influenced my playing just in the last year is amazing. All he's made me want to do is get better and better.
It's one of the best all rounder bands that are out there
I like how relaxed John is when he plays and even before I saw this video I had a feeling he was really a respectful and humble guy , like most of the 'Very" best guitar players seem have the humble quality, it's stunning to see these kids coming up and play some of John's music almost note for note and I'm glad John has a Mesa Boogie with his name on it .
To sit with a guy of this caliber and have him always portray a calm, pleasant regular guy personality is awesome. John your an amazing player.
This is him . I see him a few times a year at our local grocery store and talk a bit. He is always very cool and down to earth.
Ok, next one Alex Lifeson!!!!!!
Looked at the length, thought "2hrs is too bloody long". At the end I was hoping there was a part two just as long. Absolutely epic and great that JP was such a cool dude.
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
So impressed with John's musicianship, his meticulous holistic approach as well as his humble and down to earth demeanor. Great stuff!
wow everything petrucci does is just so admiring man... humble man and when he plays you just get amazed
SECRETARY, CLEAR MY SCHEDULE!!
Wait what? JP? The Capt'n is going places!
Meets John Myung - (Guest interviewer Dave Hollingworth :D)
Unbelievable video. Mind blown. Also, I'll never look at gear the same again.
John is so thoughtful in his approach to creating music, playing guitar, building tones, rhythms, melodies and songs. He speaks with as much thought as he plays. What an incredible gentleman. It's great to see one of the greatest guitarists of all time have such a well-grounded personality. Very refreshing.
wooooooahhhh. Anderton's is now officially a 5 star UA-cam channel.
Soooo, based on the gear references on this interview alone, a "sound like JP without busting the bank" should be pretty much out of the question.
Just one of my favorite guitar players on one of my favorite channels. Today was a good day.
Amen!!
59:56 I just love this clean tone. I got John's Dreamscape pedal and it helps achieve this sound kinda.
JP is the nicest most down to earth Guitar God we have, his passion for tone and Gear and making his art perfect has been something I know he has been about since the day I saw him in Guitar World for the first time in 92 .
Never get sick of hearing him play or talking about his endorsements, I have to get a Majesty and a Boogie at some point!!!!
