    Probably one of the nicest guys in metal, and one of the most humble as well. It's impossible to hate the guy.

      @canman87 6 років тому +22

      Most people have such a bad sense of timing, it's really peculiar. Maybe we're all just biased because 4/4 is so easy, but goddamn; get it together, humanity xD

      Watching prog fans try to headbang during a concert is hilarious.
      Some people have no sense of tempo at all, it's hard to listen or see that.
      Any prog artist I like, I've listened to their songs enough to analyze any change up.
      You would think that every prog fan would do the same, considering how difficult prog is to play.
      Don't meet anyone that loves prog but doesn't play any instruments.

      I find acoustic guitar so much easier to play tastefully than any electric guitar. I started playing on acoustic and have mostly played acoustic over the years. It's something I'll have to work on over time, the electric is amazing for access to highest frets, legato, sweeps and so forth.

      That formula didn't work after Portnoy gone.. No questions about that Petrucci is my most favourite guitarist.. But DT as a band is shit now.. Portnoy was the guy whose playing could cover over all the instruments..

      Silly cynical logic, being humble isn't always locked in people's DNA, it's still something worthwhile to be noted and respected no matter how often you see the trait. "He loves his son with all his heart" "So he should" @@OmarDavidPerez

    • @WybjornVR
      @WybjornVR 9 років тому +16

      The problem is that people feel like they're competing for his attention, and this is when people get weird/inconsiderate. In small settings, it's not hard to get your questions answered, but realistically not everyone there will get attention from him so they get desperate. Hence why they don't do "hang out" meet and greets anymore like many other "less popular" bands do.

    I think it is very cool how humble as a big name, John Petrucci is among his fans and such. He is patient, not condescending, takes everyone serious, shares his knowledge and facilitates himself well. Lately I have become a bigger fan every-time I have come across this guy. Been thinking about getting the Music Man Majesty Artisan Guitar : ) Cheers !!

    • @qztip
      @qztip 7 років тому +2

      his style? He and Jordan Rudess (the keyboardist for DT) did a one night only concert called "A night with Jordan Rudess and John Petrucci" where they played instrumentals. I think that between LTE, DT and this album its awfully hard to find a "style" he doesn't cover....

Petrucci without skipping a beat laughs and responds "I don't know, no ones ever lived to tell about it" and we all started cracking up hahahahahah

    I always found Johns technique very intriguing. I mean, he is an amazing guitar player but both his hands look so tense

    Great video from John as usual. To bad GC no longer has a re-seller contract with Mesa Boogie, i.e. no comments from John at all about his amps.

    The majesty really grew on me, so glad I haven't spent my savings on ibanez. I've actually saved enough to get this but I'm torn between my teenage dream guitar. Custom shop BC Rich warlock 7.

      Go for the Majesty, much better than the BC. I promise you won't regret it.
