Great riff! I can so often hear the Rush influence in those kinds of Petrucci riffs. Lifeson rules!

I've tried to learn that riff. It is harder than it looks.

[@coloradomtnrider6311]

That's pretty much anything Petrucci. You hear it and go that's not too bad and then you start trying to learn it and the fingering is all over the place in a lot weirder time signature and strumming than you'd expect lol.

Honestly at least to me it's easier than a lot of his other stuff. Getting all the fine details such as the correct muting technique is harder to pull off though.

love petrucci riffs like this, but damn guitar world, them views must be paying enough wages for a 1 minute highlight of a video we've already seen.

[@WishfulSinful1969]

Love it!!!! Thank you! I'm gonna speed up the riff on my 7 string!

Not very many guitarists have that kind of ear and play what's in they're head. Not to mention ability to play anything they hear. Kudos to him.

It sounds like Marillion so much 😲

This riff is just another reason to justify touring again. And yeah. I bought tickets again.

[@trebmaster]

Does his pinky get chafed rubbing up against the pickup so much? I do it similarly but keep it anchored in one spot. I kinda suck witha lot of picking styles though, so maybe I should just do what he's doing and chafe like crazy.
