[HolyGK]

@rapster2006 You are great man, and youa are right, passion makes people limitless ! Btw are you in a band?

[rapster2006]

@HolyGK Thanxs for your comments.. I'm starting new projects, but if you want to hear my music, go to varda.bandcamp.com

[thecookiedude]

Who is that one mofo that disliked this video?! I am going to take his guitar or anything that I can see around and shove it up his ass

[glynthezoal]

Fkin awesome cover, you rock that instrument dude, totally nailed it ;D gotta say that i love your tone aswell ^^

[German18DT]

what can i add... excellent sound, fucking amazing, and great playing and accuracy 

[petrucci973]

man i didnt bother my self to watch another cover solo of this song.. i can tell its the best.. played soo clean.. god bless buddy

[rapster2006]

@petrucci973 Thank You..I really appreciate it.. For me, this is the best John Petrucci Guitar solo... I had a lot of fun learning it..

[Duesvinet]

WOW! Pretty damn awesome!

[Cambrand]

A bit too much vibrato in my opinion, but overall Im really impressed. good job!

[jeremylive31500]

I saw in your video that you have a jem v7 too.Can you tell me which guitar is better and why because i plan to buy a new guitar soon.

Nice video btw.

[rapster2006]

@jeremylive31500 Thanxs! The truth is that they're both great guitars, but incredibly different also.. I sold the JPM model because I wasn't playing Progressive Rock that much and i felt that the guitar was designed for that specific style of playing, i feel that the Ibanez is a more versatile instrument giving you more options in terms of styles.. I highly recommend you to try them both before making up your mind.. You need to choose the one that inspires you to play and nothing else...

[Lambofgod9904]

holy fuck dude that was pretty fucking amazing man i almost thought u had it 100% but you settled for a 90% which is stll so fuckin cool man keep practicing. petrucci is the greatest guitarist alive man so be very proud man from one dedicated guitar player to another i salute you sir and honor your performance keep rockin on motha fucka. if you want you can check out my fav band sylosis might open you to a new style i love them to death gives me a reason to live but ive listened to literally all

[gustavoshow]

PERFECTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTTTTTTTTTTT 

[SuperCrazyIdiot]

OMFG YOU HAVE JOHN PETRUCCI'S GUITAR! THEY'RE SOOOO SEXXYYYYYYYYYYY :D

[antonyk6]

My dream is to see petrucci playing this solo...!

but your video satisfied me :D good job mate \m/

[teranfu]

Felicitaciones, es la mejor cover que he visto y oído de este terrible canción ....

Excelente terminación también, Saludos y sigue así

[young0wylde0child]

[Rhamsody]

[gato0ox]

EXCELENNT MAN!! realmente GENIAL ;D

[Jowl]

That mystic dream color is amazing

[jayman1986777]

PERFECT

[daveshaw18]

PERFECT

[JammyDodgerX5]

You friggin nailed my favorite solo!!! Bravo Bravo Bravo!

[renanrgs12]

Very Good :) , Jealousy , jealousy , Jealousy HSUAHS One of my dreams is to play this guitar solo.

[Guitarzoink]

That was extremely well done. Great playing! You bends and vibrato were easy on the ears, which is much appreciated!

[Sinfein74]

Very good playing...

[sommerchs]

lucky to have that guitar :P in argentina it is tree times more expensive than in eeuu and there is only one being sold in all the country! hahaha

cheers and keep rocking!

[raffa824]

i popped my E string trying to do that quick bend at 1:18 ='(

[SaintsCheat]

That was amazing man. Nice use of economy picking as well, which is not a jp trait, but you did it really well, but what impressed me most was your vibrato....that is one of the best I have heard..ever...just brilliant playing overall.

[Jhewt]

Excelente cover, y me encantó el final más que nada :P

[imagomultimedia]

What's the name of this song?? ... Yeeeee ....

[rapster2006]

@imagomultimedia The Best of Times.. And the name of the band is Dream Theater from the album Black Clouds and Silver Linings

[imagomultimedia]

@rapster2006 Thanks for all ... i had found it! I didn't know of this song ... i know only "The count of Tuscany" ... wonderfull ! Thanks..... and 'pardon' for my english!

[jmiester25]

@rapster2006 favorite metal band of all time, and this is one of Petrucci's best solos. awesome job man!!!

[andres1203ecuador]

Gracias, claro, la JP& y la RG 550 son del mismo tipo de madera, el tema es que buscaba un sonido un poco glamero y mas brillo y armónicos, por lo que las evo me parecieron buena opción, ahora, tal vez sea cierto, son pastillas de una salida muy alta y puede ser contraproducente para cierto tipo de música, lo que quería saber es que diferencias ves entre las evo u las crunch lab y liquifire, por que yo solo conozco directamente estas últimas.

Saludos y gracias.

[rapster2006]

@andres1203ecuador Las EVO tienen un poco mas de frecuencias medias que las crunch lab y liquifire que en su lugar tienen mas bajos y brillos, por lo que las evo se adaptan bien al momento de tocar lineas lead, pero no son tan definidas para hacer riffs rockeros.. Quiza te recomendaria el PAF JOE en el Bridge y el Mo Joe en el neck como para lo que buscas.. Esos en la guitarra de satriani suenan muy bien...

[andres1203ecuador]

@rapster2006 Gracias por la ayuda, lo tomaré en cuenta!

[andres1203ecuador]

Excelente compadre, te sale de lujo, yo tambien tengo una jp6 sin piezo, aunque no tengo tantos juguetes en el backline, jejeje, una pregunta: veo que tambien tienes una JEM, como compararías el sonido de las evolution de la JEM con el de la crunch lab y la liquifire, estoy pensando en comprar unas evo para una RG que tengo.

Saludos y rock on!!

[rapster2006]

@andres1203ecuador Gracias pana.. La verdad es que las dos guitarras son completamente diferentes.En especial por los pickups. La jpm es de Basswood que es una madera un poco mas pesada y solida mientras que la Jem es de Alder, que es mas liviana, por lo que la resonancia con los pickups es diferente. Las RG comunmente son de Basswood tambien.Todo depende del sonido que estes buscando. Podrias ponerle los Evo pero puede que te quede una guitarra con mucha salida.Vele mas opciones en dimarzio.com

[KillengRose]

Dude. Amen. Thanks for posting this: Reason 1: Your awesome interpretetion on this solo and Reason 2: Cause you post one of the best words ever spoken: Music is an ART NOT A COMPETITION. Cheers, Hope to hear from your music soon

[xLesPaulx92]

WOW, how long have u been practicing on this solo? Please tell me, I really want to learn this too! Respect

[matthieu71]

@xLesPaulx92 For myself, it tooks one week, it's the first time that I take lot of time like this for a solo.

This solo is more difficult than we can think

[kingmonty5]

Awesome mate... keep it on :)

[MyFallenIdolMusic]

you would have Jp guitar. lol.

i love when dream theater make a long ending solo. - Best of times, Ministry of lost soul, octavarium. so awesome. and this one is almost 4 min long. the length of a regular song. which is sick

[javorockstargdl]

i just shit my pants... RESPECT

[maan987]

amazing 

[SlimfullSim2]

Very well done :) I wish i could play like that.

[slash140]

oyes tocas excelente y aproposito una pregunta siempre quise saber que marca y modelo es la guitarra espero me contestes gracias y sigue asi

[rapster2006]

@slash140 Gracias.. La guitarra es una Ernie Ball - Music Man John Petrucci en color Mystic Dream.. Los micros son Dimarzio Liquifire en el Neck y Dimarzio Crunch Lab en el Bridge...

[VitorMancini]

[saintmanuel]

great man, did you use any additional sort of booster or overdrive for the solo?

[rapster2006]

Thank You.. I normally use a Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster for a bit more of sustain.. It is ON all the time, nos only through the solo...

[Petrucciisgod123]

Sounds great dude. Slow down your vibrato, I had the same problem for a while.

[javisambora]

@Petrucciisgod123 SOMEBODY TELL ME THIS TOO :s

hehe

[LazerRazor7]

good job
