John Petrucci - Wishful Thinking by SteveP

[arvindmenn]

u played sum wrong notes bro



[ranchzyet]

u still need a practice of the song to make it perfect... bad to hear...

[that1guyfromdat1time]

u earned my sub

[freminick123]

At 4:47 not too complicated but sound very good, excellent

[Amphion9]

Not to offend,but the tone is awful(sounds like a suona)  =(

[extriver]

Is there any chance that u will give me the tabs? xD

[SPeety]

No tabs available, sorry man, I never wrote that stuff down.

Greets

Steve

[malmsteen1984]

@extriver hey dude.. try to use your eras!!!! much more easier than tabs lol!

[extriver]

@malmsteen1984 Ive already made my own cover, feel free to get into my channel and watch it :)

[vaisjaupt]

i like this, but, as a constructive critique, i think it's missing some feeling to your playing...

[jquiopa]

yeah!

by the way am pilipino, i like u my friends

i like this video so good!!!

how much the guitar john petrucci?

[28monkeyking28]

Do you roll down the volume after the intro of the song? My tone sounds like a load of crap when i do that >_>

[hpw59]

How many Music Man's do you have? im assuming only 2, right?

[SPeety]

correct ;) :D

[leadguitar24]

I think this is not the backing track of the song, I can still hear the fast solo

[SPeety]

yup, that's right. It's not the backing track ;)

[kelvinxguitar]

oh btws very nice playing [=

and what sounds did you use?

what type of effector?

[kelvinxguitar]

hey~~ where did you get the backing track?? i've been finding it for so long and i found two that obviously isn't the orginal one =[ can you please tell me where you found it or send it to me?

[starsandstripsguitar]

awesome tone perfect for the song.

[carlosvest]

que efectos usaste? which effects did you used??

[Gonzalo52rock]

Good cover where you find the tab?

[Rockschnecke]

mann ist das lang her ^^

=)

[rodon9]

[YszTysz]

[Tom090586]

[SPeety]

haha, thanks dude. actually, it's Steve Lukather's Signature Model. Still, it's a MusicMan ;)

Greets

Steve

[fenderjazz01]

dude, i gotta say, u fuckin rock

[nachito255]

the sound of your amp. sucks dude, don´t no why? the song pass but, you have give more practice at this song is not a easy song!!! and if play this song like this you can blowit! its all good !!

[FE7588]

his amp sounds fine, shut up.

maybe a touch more bass.

[twannie8585]

no nachito is right ... no quality amp but good played, hard song with hard moments! but thats Petrucci!

[BjoernGelotte]

mhh no quality amp? i would say, it is a quality amp! it's an atomic reactor, i heard his sound at his home and the "same" sound (same effect pedal and amp) at a friends house. the sound is totally great.

[dangerousandcrazy]

how long do you practice for this song?

[creation23]

Amp settings PLEASE

[mogie]

pretty cool

[spacedementia2008]

melodic masterbation session courtesy of jp. thx.

[packersfan117]

as you said, the jamming isn't original, but it really flows and suits the song. love it bro!

[beCreative21]

Im practice it! Fuck your good! nice nice niceeeee! im lovin it!

[astralzenith]

Sounds good man. I was wondering if you could tell me the notes you played from 2:20-2:40? Thanks

[musicmanjpm84]

You have to practice more..

Somehow your guitar of tone is not good.

So bad...

Is it luke blue??-_-

[hssu7512]

awesome!! backing track?

[luckas1234321]

lol steve i find ure vids every where, that was rlly gd 4 stars but i reckon u could do bteer than that there was the odd misatek but it amazin anyway

[AcadiaGuitar]

Some advice. Try not to use the whammy bar for your vibrato so often, instead use your left hand a bit more! Sounds really good though bud, keep up the great playing!!

[GoblitofRock]

Hey tabs please?

[nosferatooz]

ไอ้อ่อน

[mrmagic1989]

[SPeety]

[yankashar]

[SPeety]

Greets

Steve

[ender2win]

do you have the backing track.. i have looked everywhere for it and cant find it.. if so would you be able to send me it? thanks

[PinoyLahi]

instead of starting on the 11th fret u start on the 4th fret. don't forget to do vibratio or else it won't sound like this. Gud Luck.

[lackerslacker]

lol g8 playing ive heard this in a film i think

[Tonybolloni]

yo were just playing over the origanal song?? or backing track

[nachito255]

[SPeety]

Greets

Steve

[nachito255]

[AndlopezRod]

that was really good... and u really didnt know the end of the song hu? lol it actually sound bad that part, but the rest was really good!

[scnaixsc]

HEY! nice hands!! fast but maybe, the sound of ur guitar is not the best :/

[goodguys]

Hey, I just got an ibanez gsa60 and upgraded it with dimarzio blue and red velvet pick ups to replace my single coils and a dimarzio evolution 2 to replace the bridge pick up, how do you think this would sound on that? Also, just a little bit more info, I replaced the crappy tremolo with a floyd rose, I just wanted to add that in there.

[petruccisleep]

this cover realy SUX ...first buy a metronomo after play . NT guy but this is SHIT

[SPeety]

lol, maybe it's not good, but the thing I need at last is a metronome man!

[acousticky14]

this is a great cover. i already know how to play the song but i have lots of mistakes and i can't finish it. good job dude!

[sportsportsport]

what pick ups are those in your guitar EMG singles and bucker ?...

[SPeety]

yeah, the Bridge Humbucker is an EMG 81, the others are Single Coil EMG SLV Custom.

Greets

Steve

[bardc001]

awesome but dude where did you get the backing track from i cant find it anywhere !!

[tomsant]

Hi SPetty! great cover of song, and awesome musicman( i m currently trying to buy one of those babys).. can you please tell me where did you find the tab? i would really appriciate your answer!

[SPeety]

hey man =)

I'm sorry, I don't have the Tabs, cause I played it by ear.

All the best,

Steve

[tomsant]

yeah i realized that after i saw your profile.. well, i got almost whole song by ear but i have few mistakes which i am trying to fix.. but, thx anyways...

[fooodzilla]

10x anyway man keep up the good work

[fooodzilla]

man pls where did u get the backing track it will be great if u share it

[SPeety]

I'm sorry, I don't have it anymore... I recorded it from the version here on YouTube from John.

Greets

Steve

[limpstah]

Hey great job man. But you're off in a couple places when it goes too fast. My advice is that you start of with something more easy, like some Satriani songs :)

gj

[SPeety]

Yeah; It was too hard for me =) So I didn't play the original tones ;) I'm into the Satriani song Always with me, Always with you, maybe it's comin up for YouTube in far future ;)

Greets

Steve

[Nova780]

Where did u get the backingtrack?

[ondreay]

bloody awesome job man :D keep up the good work

[darktranquillityrule]

awful guitar man, use the Ibanez behind you :)

[SPeety]

lol, the Ibanez in the background costs maybe 15% of the price this MusicMan costs XD It's defenitely the better one :D

[MrGibs0n]

no felling indeed... u need to be the guitar;) try to feel the music man... u play it good, but its never good witout the feeling...

[acousticky14]

it's a beautiful song, kinda easy but hard to memorize.. great job!

[karamazov3326]

Really clean but not enough feelings , just look at the mattrach movie and youll see;)

I even think that matts one is better thant pettruc s one ^^

[SPeety]

Hehe, yeah, that's right. But u know, it's not a lack of feelings. I recorded the vid half a xear ago. At that time, I was playing for only 2 and a half years. Believe me, most of my feelings are into making music since my birth, wether it's singing or playing an instrument. So it's just, that I wasn't too good to play it with nice bends and whammy bar stuff and this u know... ;)

Anyway, thanks for your comment!

Greets

Steve

[randivis]

Good job man.. Nice Axe too.

[matthewhyl]

playing for 2 and a half year can buy a Ibanez. I just using Squier.

[sundinDT182]

what? lol he had everything down like more than perfect. what do u mean there's no feeling?

anyways, wicked job steve.

[bandaaerofly]

[hastyberford]

Sorry but M@tt is still the best.

[shadowdemon2003]

yeah lol

[byredyre]

Matt`s incredible!!! although he`s been playing since age seven.

[wsitumn]

the solo has alot of mistakes

[Wizgf19]

haha i love all these people talkin about teh guitar....so ill focus on the playing....very well done! Who cares about the guitar, I don't get why people focus on them so much on here. Great guitar players could make a squire sing haha (maybe). Keep up the good work

[americ0yrupailla]

that is a luke!!! great guitar

[GyroscopeOfTime]

whaaaaaat? this guitar looks beautiful :D

[luchoDreamtheateR]

the guitar is horrible but the sound its god ;)

[0iGer0]

taht's the petrucci's signature guitar (music man Ernie Ball)

[SPeety]

Heya,

nope, americ is right, it's a MusicMan Luke Signature ;)

Greets

Steve

[0iGer0]

Arf, shit, you right, i just saw it a few weeks ago in my guitar shop, i didnt look as much closer to see the difference, and there ARE differences ^^ ... Luke's are cheese dicks guitars compared to Petrucci's ones

[gottanked]

this song is so easy to pick up by ear..such a simple song

[manususca]

too many mistakes!!!!!!!!!!! damn you fuck the song!

[JamesRilstone]

I refuse to believe u learnt that by ear! .. ur AMAZING!!

Check out ym vids please? =] im nowhere near as good as you but i try! =P

Keep up the awesome playing!

[ihateyourleg]

nice playing dude, but that guitar is fukin ugly!

[BullShnit]

Some people have all the talent! Dude, you're smokin'! You've busted your ass on that and who cares about a few mistakes. Don't worry about what others think badly of your playing. You could probably smoke their ass anyday. Oh, and you've got a good sound goin' too! Cheers!!!

[SPeety]

Hey man, thank you very much!

Best wishes,

Steve

[muertomaniaco]

pretty cool

[CreepyNymoen]

Playing mistakes really doesn`t matter;) If you play some mistakes, that doesn`t make you a worse guitarist:) I`m no noob guitarist with a Behringer or a squier Strat that`s going to tell you that you are a bad player;) Most likely, you are a lot better than them all. Keep up the playing, and check out my video if you like:)

[Soulmag]

put on sound some delay and reverb, and cut high frequences :D and will be awesome :D

[LUckybones25]

Pretty good guitar playing! I agree that it would sound better if you played it through a warmer sounding amp.

[Mg7x]

you suck

[GyroscopeOfTime]

Well,show me your videos,you probably are the god of guitars if you are able to say that this video sucks.

[juantarallo]

I think It would do you good a warmer sound, but your playing is quite good. Nice!

[Rockschnecke]

great song :)

[youdonotknow1988]

great work dude!

[Neoworry]

Hey dude i love your video!

Keep on rocking dude!

I also wondered where you got the backingtrack from? and if you made on yourself could you perhaps send it to me ^^? Thank you very much!

Keep on rocking!

[Hypher08]

w00ps..u forgot to turn the volume up on the chorus there....lol...nice 1 dude...

[Midnitebhmn]

Very cool, and excellent song great job man!

[Hypher08]

nice 1

[Landon1989]

This is MusicMan guitar... Very good job... :)

[Men1k]

Great cover mate, nice tone and playing.  Could you link me/send me the tabs please?

Thanks.

[SPeety]

Hey man, sorry, I don't have any Tabs, I made it by ear.

Thanks for your comment!

Greets

Steve

[GyroscopeOfTime]

I think the track playing in the background was taken from Petrucci's YouTube Demonstration of Wishful Thinking @ elcapitan3107

[elcapitan3107]

awesome!!! where did you get the backing track?!?!

[Rockschnecke]

i love it

[GeorgeBlades]

Great version of this tune! I like it very much. I also like the way that guitar of your's looks as well as sounds, so could you tell me what model it is exactly? Youp play very well indeed!

Cheers.

Geo.

[SPeety]

Hey Geo, thank you for your comment!

It's a MusicMan Luke II. For the sound, you have to play a little bit with the pickups and tone knob.

Greets

Steve \,,/

[GyroscopeOfTime]

Great Sound,very awesome
