  • Performance of Carpe Diem, the short (about 2 min.) 3rd movement of the 7-part, 23-minute piece A Change of Seasons by Dream Theater (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Change_of_Seasons) from 1995.
    On the original, John Petrucci used a classical guitar (nylon strings), but I think it sounds good on steel strings as well. Maybe I'll record a classical version as well for comparison. The original also has vocals, which you should be thankful I did not add here.
    Performed on a Martin 000-28, recorded using a prototype Mojotone pickup directly into an audio interface. These days I'm typically mixing the pickup and a large diaphragm condenser mic, but for this it was just the pickup.
    Full disclosure - the audio and video recordings were done separately. That is, I first recorded the audio and then made the video of myself playing along with that. Yeah, I know - it's cheating...

    "Seize the day" I heard him say, "life will not always be this way. Look around and hear the sounds, cherish your life while you're still around"

    Fantastic, sir! Of course, your playing is excellent, the sound is rich and full (I don't mind about the separate recording) This also serves to show yet another way that John Petrucci is one heck of a guitar player. His chord repertoire far exceeds most regular 'metal' guitarists. Another great example of Petrucci's great chord work is in the 'Someone like Me' section of Octavarium.

    Beautiful.
    Feels so weird out of the rest of the piece.
    Edit: seen it 5 times now. There's two verses missing at the beginning:
    "The news of the fall
    The sounds in the hall
    The clock on the wall...

    Really well done on this, the fingering on these sections are incredibly awkward but you played it all very clean.
    Such a beautiful piece too, quite incredible to think John Petrucci was only 21 years old when he wrote this section.

      thanks! haven't done Broon's Bane, but it's a great suggestion - I'll add it to my list (which also includes Mood For a Day, Horizons, The Sage, ...)

    Very well done. I'm a bass player, but I remember learning how to play this part on guitar because this is such a beautiful section. That was a while ago, and I don't even remember the chords anymore. But pretty cool to watch someone playing it so well.
