for the first "part" some parts sound like The Test That Stumped Them All from Dream Theater, just awesome. lovely sick guitar solos are just the life :)
Having been a 80s metal guitarist myself in bar bands ive listened to the best over the years Macalpine Lynch Vai Schenker Moore (both gary and vinnie!) ive been hard pressed to name anyone the best hell i got to see a unknown player by the name of Doug Doppler who was touring with MSG he did the drum machine thing like gary hoey but hes the guy that Satch chose to take over his music school this guy is a 7 string god! Google doppler inc its fucking incredable!
hm i don´t think so.. for me vai and satriani can be compared much better because the one learned from the other. in cases of virtuosity the two seem to exceed petrucci, but! do you know " an evening with john petrucci and jordan rudess" ? there he proves all his skills wich he probably can´t show with dream theater..
..yeah and when it comes about songwriting i think petrucci is the most talented, because he creates catchy music with (compared to vai or sartiani) less efford. Also i like almost everything of petruccis music but not all of vais or satrianis. but this is only my personal taste..
oh no...i like petruccis music more too...especially Jaws of Life...but Vai and Satriani are better...altough they have diffrent styles. so...yeah i will see that night with jordan rudess...
paul gilbert is never better than petrucci, vai or satriani! and who the hell is Jason Becker?^^ ... no, but when it comes about emotion.. listened to pink floyd ? david gilmour has superawesome feeling in his playing!
pink floyd? thats the best you can come up with? if you would, listen to altitudes by jason becker (4:31 i think) or Serrana if you're very impatient (less than a minute)
i dont see how you listen to satriani's trailer metal, and vai/ petrucci are so up their own asses, i dont know why they arent just making albums for themselves
You just dissed 3 of the greatest guitarists in the world your opinion of them sucks if you ask me Vais a god Satch shreds and Petrucci is a very awesome player as well it just kils me when some nobody on you tube talks shit about accomplished legendary players .
i listened to altitudes.. i think emotion isn´t something measurable like on a scale from 1 to 10.. it´s again a matter of taste. he plays with a lot of emotion, no doubt.. but i still prefer to listen to petruccis music and for me he sometimes is as emotional as becker(if not even more). petrucci sometimes has not much feeling, i agree
do you know "an evening with john petrucci and jordan rudess" ? listen to the song truth for example the last solo (begins about 8:00)
Sweet licks, man, love your sound. And what an axe!! Crazy-looking thing! Looks like a weird cross between a Telecaster and a thin Les Paul. Is it me or is the neck really wide? I thought it was a 7-string at first, but I can only see 6 machine heads on the headstock. Cheers from Montreal.
damn, thats good playing. Do me a favor, dont get pissed but drop the keyboards. I bet this shit would really rock with just 2 guitars, bass and drums!!
you are truly amazing ,my son plays in a band called silence the villain i will get them to watch your videos, they are young shredders and people like you are an inspiration to them
Hi querido Rod, es realmente maravilloso escucharte tocar, muchas gracias por compartir tu arte conmigo, es un verdadero placer, amigo "manos mágicas", te dejo 1 beso y te deseo toda la suerte del mundo, creo, que sos una gran promesa. lo mejor a vos!
To hear you play is one thing, to see you play is a whole other experience.Your fingers are poetry in motion.You are by far the best since the likes of Hendrix,Clapton and Nugent.Keep up the good work.
Rod did you make that guitar, where do you get those guitars?
