Matt Heafy & John Petrucci: Guitar Theater, Episode 1

[themastodonvolta]

Matt needs to eat something



[BassAgainst]

John Petrucci was playing Welcome to the Jungle!!!

[JohnChraiser]

yeah now we all look for rodrigokob comment.

[Dekmus06]

YOU ARE BAD TRIVIUM!!!

DREAM THEATER IS NO. 1 AND NO ONE COULD BE LIKE DREAM THEATER!!!!

[mkbcoolman]

Thumbs up if you searched 'Welcome to the Jungle' after watching this.

[Keimatsu]

@mkbcoolman Haha I didn't, but I see what you did there.

[snewper]

I like both of they

[halo2846x]

btw matt isnt the lead guitarist from trivium

[trevwagner666]

@halo2846x theyre both considered lead its basically shared leads

[FrankMcNugget]

John is the better and more experienced guitarist.

Matt is incredibly talented and show's a lot of respect.

Hater's gon' hate but Heafy's laughing at your "Smoke on the water" all the way home.

[jacktheguitarman]

mesa lonestar! killer tone!

[givemeajackson]

were they using those mesas? if yes, wich ones are those? the sound is fucking awesome!

[jacktheguitarman]

@givemeajackson mesa lonestar my brotha!

[witcheryify]

we all know that john definitely will win against matt in arm wrestling

[rambutan83]

Yeah the guys from both my favourite bands!

[beanriffs]

JP is kinda teaching Matt how to play!!! Kinda funny

[ducky811]

I am really enjoying these videos with Matt and John. Matt has one of the fastest picking hands around.

[DreaminginWaves]

2:30 Welcome to the Jungle! 

[jpcampusano]

These double lessons/conversations are really nice. Please make more.

[MyxHarnett]

2:04 "Bad thumb" *Hits thumb*

*World explodes*

[DavidBoy333]

Please people!!!!! Stop comparing them two!!! Matt showed a lot of respect to John in this video and he is really a humble student. John is older than Matt and is more experienced. This is one reason maybe why he has more skills and techniques which he could teach Matt. I respect both of them and I believe one day when Matt hits John's age he'll become a super skilled guitar who everyone respect too.

[hchoe741]

jesus teaches his disciple...

[MegaDarth666]

@hchoe741 jesus petrucci haha.

[Erock09291]

@TriviumKid08 try playing Poison Was The Cure by Megadeth. Way more difficult than anything Trivium has done

[aldipragantha]

Wow...

JP teach us about technique

Matt teach us about respect

[garylayala]

@dengdeng80 John Petrucci would make Slash his bitch.

[ckyisyourfuture]

Note to self: the guy from Trivium says "wonky." Stop saying wonky.

[dengdeng80]

2.30 John Petrucci try to play Welcome To The Jungle intro...LOL

[qu7aker]

i always thought cory was the lead guitar player? isnt he way better then matt? lol

[crazymike1706]

Cool!

[AHMADF93]

Conclusion : Petrucci ate all Heafy's food.

[ivegotabfmv]

what song is the little guitar tune at the start from?

[wherehairbear]

@ivegotabfmv On the Backs of Angels 

[ivegotabfmv]

@wherehairbear thanks so much!

[nickbarkerdt]

Matt heafy is 25 years old, John Petrucci is 44.

When Petrucci was 25, he just did Images and Words............

[iamrichlol]

@nickbarkerdt so?

[iPR0SH0T]

@nickbarkerdt on Images and Words was Under a Glass Moon, which outdoes anything I have seen Heafy do. Only two years later was Awake, and I think Erotomania and the other guitarwork on that album speaks for itself

[RahadianAditya]

bad thumb!

[RFPatosPB]

2:30 - P.L.U.C.K. from SOAD?

[greekfreak1980]

Very informative and nice video.The only thing that bothers me are all the usual dumbasses who trolling around,which is ''the better guitarrist'' .Do me a favor,shut the fuck up and take a look at these guys.Maybe you could learn something from them,for crying out loud!

[celticwarrior222]

2:30-welcome to the jungle?

[cahyaterang777]

im hear it with 2x speed.LOL

[BrittneyBunchez]

I honestly tried to listen to what they were saying but ended up just staring at Matt the whole time. Damnit

[karlcresp25]

ahhh. petrucci is the best

[haedbanger64]

i fucking love these videos. it's pretty badass to see two very accomplished players just talk and learn from each other, and in turn the viewer learns as well :). FUCKING METAL

[chamours]

John is the best guitar s teacher ever.

[DanielGonzalezC]

I'm starting to believe that most guitarists in Roadrunner look for Petrucci when they don't know how to do something... And he's like: You do this, my child. And they get famous afterwards...

[daniju93]

2:29 - 2:32 YA KNOW WHERE YA AREEE???? YOU ARE IN THE JUUNGLEEE BAAABYYYYYY, YOUUU GONNNAAAAA DIIIIIIIIIIEEE

[clcartlidge]

2:29 - Welcome to the Jungle

[dtadn]

bad thumb hahahah petrucci one of a kind

[dtadn]

a master class for matt XD...that it is pretty...cool wtf hahahah

[SuperEvilMonkey1]

John is awesome

[RodrigoKob]

They are drooling egg to these guys ....

[RodrigoKob]

I'm talking to myself shut up ... shit

[RodrigoKob]

After the lessons of Mr. Petrucci, Matt could teach him how to make good music, and James Labrie singing like a man, because the music of Dream Theater are too boring ... what is the saying: "If improving spoils" ... Dream Theater and it spoiled for me it's already stale!

[bevlalala1231]

@RodrigoKob Yeah, and John Myung could teach you how to shut up.

[sebisman2]

@RodrigoKob you should know music doesn't work that way. thats why there are different styles for different tastes, so SHUT UP.

[RodrigoKob]

Depois das lições do Sr. Petrucci, o Matt poderia ensinar ele a como fazer musica boa, e o James Labrie a cantar que nem homem, porque as músicas do Dream Theater estão chatas demais... é o que o ditado diz: "Se melhorar estraga"... ele e o Dream Theater estragou, pra mim já tá mofado!

[spencerdrummer1]

The master and the apprentice.

[TheFahed1]

even that sounds nice!! 2:30

petrucci is awesome!!

[metaldrummer47]

"My good friend Mike Mangini, you know, the fastest and best drummer ever alive, who is in my awesome amazing band, which you sir are not. But back to what I was saying, I am god"--Direct quote from JP

[leftpassenger]

This was a very helpful video, I feel that a lot of videos lack explanation about picking technique :-) Thanks!

[ElvisBluntman777]

Matt looks like a white tattooed Somalian kid

[abaurre3]

If you put the speed of the video 1/4th slower, you can barely see Petrucci going back in time to play more notes per second.

[SicSeb]

Cool to see them together in a vid.

Matt needs to build some muscle though ;)

Don't look for advice from Jimmy Struther maaayn! You won't be making any kinds of gains!

[risky41]

actually this was an ernie ball ad.

[aulia36]

hihihi...go go go jp.

[aulia36]

jp yeah yeah yeah....ok.

[Osskarii]

I'm a drummer and I still love watching these guys doing their things! Gives me inspiration :)

[Aristowi]

I'd like to know who's the rythm guitarist in Dream Theater...

[JimInFlames]

@Aristowi Petrucci plays both guitars at recordings

[thejemboy]

@JimInFlames EPIC

[mikepshena]

@Aristowi Petrucci does all the guitar in Dream Theater lmao, there is only one guitarist. There is also a keyboardist and they both switch between rhythm and solos and many times they will harmonize together.

[Aristowi]

@mikepshena I know, you didn't understand my sarcasm, in the video it says "John Petrucci, Lead Guitarist, Dream theater", which is weird because ovbiously he's the only guitarist, that's why I said that. Anyway, thanks for thinking I was mistaken and kindly answered my "question". Take care.

[KowaruKei]

@MrDeamos facepalm

[jtdrummerboy]

@MrDeamos *surpressing outrage... surpressing outrage...*

[MajorPonch]

My dream duo by far!

[MrDeamos]

2 Legends.

[TriviumKid08]

Pehtruccei is a poser compared to the god amongst men that is Matt (The Man) Heafy. How dare he talk down his superior he shall be slain.

[metalmike04]

@TriviumKid08 wait are you trolling, or serious?

[0Erazoender0]

@TriviumKid08

You best be trollin' little boy.

[TriviumKid08]

@0Erazoender0 You shall be slain also.

Matt (The Man) Heafy is irrefutably the best guitarist Thrash Metal has ever seen. He flips over Dave Mustaine and exposes his wet, sloppy vagina every time he shreds some Crusade'.

[DerekBallesty]

@TriviumKid08 Nope.

[ryurookie]

@TriviumKid08 u sound like a total asshole

[0Erazoender0]

@TriviumKid08

> Implying thrash is something more than just a fun outlet to express emotions of a time you weren't even born in, growing up in circumstances you most likely aren't living in.

Seriously I'm not trashing Matt, but I'm not a Trivium fan. I'm not going to trash you for being a Trivium fan, music is subjective and we're all entitled to have our opinions. However I AM going to trash you for being an arrogant doucheface to promote your opinions and denounce others blindly. So gtfo.

[schnitzll78]

@TriviumKid08 aha and guess what? Kirk hammett is bad haha shut the fuck up little boy... there are so many thrash guitarplayer who play better... for example yeah kirk hammett, phil demmel and rob flynn, ... and i bet you can't play guitar!

[TriviumKid08]

@schnitzll78 Rob Flynn LOL that guy sounds like he has a cock in his mouth when he delivers his "harsh" vocals and his guitar playing is about as mediocre as it gets to boot alongside his butt-buddy Phil Demmel. Machine head is the lamest excuse for a "Thrash" band I've ever heard in my life.

Kirk Hammett abuses his wah-wah pedal to make up for the fact that he can't play the same riff or solo twice. Matt (The Man) Heafy wins.

[schnitzll78]

@TriviumKid08 what the fuck is going wrong with i think you're drunken all the time -.- you don't know anything. and you're approving me that you are a 14 years old faggott who shouldn't say robb flynn has a cock in his mouth while singing, please go die and leave youtube community. cause hear are metalheads which hate your unqualified comments on this video.... so please go suck your dick and die after!

[gnryeah]

@TriviumKid08 Matt Heafy is alright. He's nothing special, but I wouldn't say he's anything bad. Now, stop causing arguments that nobody gives a fuck about and move on with your life

[Ricsic6]

@TriviumKid08 FUCKING HELL! I didn't think anyone out there was stupid enough to start on Robb Flynn. Jesus man, go listen to your emo/scremo crap then. Leave Machine head for the big boys who actually have gone through puberty!!!.

[Ricsic6]

@TriviumKid08 AND just to add salt to your already semen dripping wound... Matt heafy wouldn't be here "triviumKid08" If it wasn't for Robb Flynn. Jesus is it just me or are youth today getting dumber?!

[KitRamsey1]

@TriviumKid08 you sir are absolutely right, although amazing live, machinehead just never did anything for me, boring vox, guitars, Just mediocre shit

[SASLEAD666]

@TriviumKid08 .....is 08 the year you were born?

[TriviumKid08]

@SASLEAD666 Negative it was the year that the greatest Thrash Metal album of all time was released - Shogun.

In Waves was a damn fine Black Metal album to boot, I don't mind the change in direction.

[ChuckSchuldinerRIP0]

@TriviumKid08 "In Waves" was not Black Metal...

[TriviumKid08]

@ChuckSchuldinerRIP0 Go away Death is outdated Trivium improved on their formula in every way possible.

[nce94]

@TriviumKid08 you're either a good troll, or a musically oblivious idiot

[Deliverance02x]

Someone hasn't been eating their Small Mammals alive.

[charvelgtrs]

This needs a dub so bad. "I usually play a billion notes a second, but I'll slow it down for you noob."

[NewOrleans51234]

lol. Im not even a guitarist but i can't stop watching this.

[LambOfGod4Life888]

Heafy and Petrucci !

[roxinouchet]

I so much like this. Really nice vid, make more plz !

[iBIurr]

Obviously John is awesome, and I think Matt seems like a good dude as well - very eager to learn and very polite.

[jowblow2]

I wish i could say something like "Thats a thing i learned from my good friend Mike Mangini" too :O

[uchiwahamza]

i just want to now what's the relation betwin john and this noob

[fingerboy18]

I appreciate how polite and eager Matt is to John about being able to learn things. He seems like a good guy. Whether I like his music or not, I have respect for him after seeing this.

[fevver42]

@MrDreamTheater2 i just love it when a nobody sitting at a computer can come on the internet and talk shit about someone eith more talent, more success, and more eespect tgan youll ever have.

[MPresario21]

i was hoping they would jammed at the end.

[Randyolsson]

John is a god, but i think everyone should have their personal style. I mean just look at Marty Friedman. He picks like an upside down squirrel on heroin, but it sounds amazing

[DjentleDjiant]

Guitar discipline...

John Petrucci: Hello guitar noobs!

[mammallica]

John is visiting my local music store the 27th! OMG i feel so lucky, and after the meet and great, it's time to a Dream Theater live!:D

[Rob801]

@mammallica I'm going to be there on the 27th as well... Can't wait! (just no meet and greet unfortunately, had to use the money on transport from Jylland and hotel instead). I haven't seen them since Octavarium in Hamburg... I'm lovin the hell out of ADTOE and MM ;).

[mammallica]

@Rob801 Hey man nice! :D Oh that's a shame... See you there:)

[hybridreality]

At 2:34 did they cut because Matt commented on how it sounds like Welcome to the Jungle?

[FullMaster360]

a man who thinks he knows everything.... stop learning.

just saying...

[tinkoasd]

Matt Heafy is also a guitar god, he is very humble and he play the game, but he hasn't so much to lear.

But this is a nevernending task, you're always learning stuff!

Both of them are geniuses, don't be silly. STOP organizing people into a hierarchy!

Everyone's is different with personnal strenghts and personnal weakness.

Jeez, les commentateurs de Youtube sont vraiment les plus gros connards de l'univers... = )

[ca5k]

Heafy is a legend, how can you all be critical? He's probably better than all of you anyway. He's clearly sitting there learning from a legend of rock, and not trying to seem like he's already pro enough.

You wouldn't try and outdo Satriani or Vai if you had the chance

[disengagejam]

The Master and the Apprentice ... JP just demands such respect !!!

[elysbons]

omg this is fucking awesome! \m/

[jdund051]

adam02 needs to make an overdub of this video...

[Crazy3189]

@jdund051 YES!

[ibanezxiphos700]

@jdund051

GOD YES!

[wernsels]

@jdund051

That would be the best thing ever xD

[A7XRIPREVA7X]

all elbow lol, Mick Thomson

[X7creek]

We want morreeee!!

[psykokillers]

mais pourquoi je suis un français nul en anglais ????!!!!

[FallensTrance]

JPs arms look small :(

[staredeath101]

John is like yea right yea right LOL

[CaustticA]

Nice, nice, very nice

[metalweenis]

I love how he talks to him like he's a noob. Cool vid though, wish there were more like this.

[bunnyannihilator89]

@metalweenis don't say that, you don't know him, it's just the way he speaks. i know, i've seen many videos of petrucci talking and there's nothing wrong with the way he's talking to the guy

[kidgame54]

John is Matt's hero, that's awesome to see them together , matthew is certainly like "oh god I have a boner right now"

[lengman2112]

this video is so appropriate

[systematicdesign]

Se nota quien es el maestro aquí?

[Adrianwk]

The Best Lesson Ever. They both are my heros. They need more with Matt and John. :D

[Duskdismantled100]

amazing!! a legend with a future legend!!! lml

[Mrmusicplayer08]

Dos piezas maestras de albums y 2 maestros del Metal!.... demasiado bien \m/!

[kevinafterlife]

of course petrucci wold be the teacher here ;)

[Chun9KrinX28MeTaLL]

2 my fav guitarist in the same vid.. so epic

[cowcrusher]

I'd want petrucci as a teacher but he'd scare my guitar chops away.

[tfrank10311]

BATTLE OF FACIAL HAIR

[bunnyannihilator89]

come on!! put the video all together >:(

[WillTrivium1]

@Patfix Exactly, I've met Matt before, he's a real down to earth guy, and he is not too proud to want to learn from someone else and pick up more techniques. Frankly, this world needs more people like Mr. Heafy.

[getspsycho]

Damn it, the tone sucks, too much bass and too less middle

[CrypticMajesty]

Jeez matt has not hit the gym lately

[nssn240S14]

Just saw a few people calling Matt heafy a noob. Uhh your all fucking retarded. I dont know if you've ever listened to triviums music their guitar is insane. Especially since matt does all the singing and is able to play sick ass riffs without fault.

[requiemforadream15]

@nssn240S14 Some people just don't get it dude. Matt has been writing and singing that crazy shit since he was 12. He wrote When All Light Dies when he was 14. But nah he only has 10+ years of guitar/songwriting experience. Matt Heafy is a total noob (sarcasm btw)

[RoyControl]

Matt looks like a young and short hair Kirk Hammett

[delano1901]

AMAZING!I want the 2º part NOW!

[schantist]

Heafy looks like he'd want to audition as the AIDS dude for the 2012 remake of "Philadelphia"...

What the heck, he's into food blogs and looks like an anaemic ethiopian

[HardcoreRunescaping]

4:26 matt accidentally plays Infected Nation - Evile...

[Shishiwakarashi]

wtf ?



[Gashie2]

Vid puts a smile on my face. Love how they're both so unassuming and respectful towards each other; more so Petrucci even with all his years of work and experience....then again maybe it's those same things which makes him the humble musician that he is!

[maumetaljizz]

Heafy is such a noob

[SadOfSads]

@maumetaljizz Your mom

[mepikatotuboca]

Matt Heafy noob??? BRAVO, mindfuck

[4everRock666]

"with all elbow.. which freaks me out"

i'm looking a YOU! Zakk Wylde xD

[zernyms]

waiting for the next episode \mm/

[daniderscbfan]

Is Matt really the lead guitarist of Trivium? NOOOT

[MattGuzelis]

Sweet!! Two favourites in one place :D also Matt asked the exact question that I've had for a while \m/ nice!

[supratim8]

who is great..who is small doesnt matter..they both play guitar..they both are great....learning never ends.....we admit this fact and keep on learning...a person who says he knows everything is a fool!!

[MinoStraussen]

@patfix John also said in the video that he learned the technique for not moving the thumb while shifting speeds from mike mangini

[mateusbatalha]

Yeah, Matt didn't have half of the studies Petrucci had, so don't troll on him. Two different styles, two amazingly talented musicians.

[carlosjer333]

Petrucci could be easily Heafy's father...rather he is the father of Heafy!!!!! learn Heafy!!!!

[ntbillie]

John Petrucci- 'Listen here,n00b.'

[twistsanny]

@ntbillie lets remember everyone's a noob compared to John, including matt

[xXUnoriginalNameXx33]

@twistsanny Yea exactly, John is a guitar GOD. Matt is just good enough to play the really good music he writes.
