Matt Heafy & John Petrucci - Guitar Theater, Episode 3

[cocomore111]

what's 1st song??

[BloodofTheCovenant]

@cocomore111 on the intro? In waves by trivium

[snewper]

I'm cool too if i push my head in cooler box

[NineBrk]

Petrucci is like... Ahh that is cool -_- , ohh wow nice >:( with a boredom face like.. Bitch please , I could do that when I was 5 years old

[Dragonslayergnr]

petrucci is better but imo i preffer matty , i'm not the technical guy , i preffer the end result rather than what scale or pattern he used to achieve it

[ducky811]

That first rhythm pattern that Matt did with the super fast picking...I would love to see John try and pull that off.

[GuitarFuff]

Matt has some balls. If I was in his position I wouldn't be able to hold a fucking guitar, let alone play one...

[FellipeSNK]

is it me or Matt got thinner?

[givemeajackson]

@FellipeSNK if not he always was skinny as hell!

[Ekkyzor]

@FellipeSNK I ask me the same question. But honestly, I just think he looks way to exposed without his hair.

Thoughm, he looked much more muscular before.

[darthsasuke554]

Matt Heafy looks like a little kid. You can tell he's just incredibly happy to be around Petrucci haha

[MadcapMacabre]

I'm not a Trivium fan at all. But I really do like him. He's a very good player. Not to mention appreciative of Death Metal and Black Metal...which wins him brownie points from me.

[GruntGroove]

guys seriously... Matt is an awesome guitarist, stop bitching.. Petrucci is of a whole other level, but that's not the point of these video's at all

[psyoptica]

It would be weird to see Petrucci with a Les Paul.

[mesolovely1]

IIIIIIIIIIN WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVVEESS!!!!!!!!­

[jantjecool]

Cool stuff but why is Metal Matt using a happy fairy colored guitar while playing metal? lol :)

[PuR1fy]

@jantjecool Yes, you're totally right. If it isn't pointy and black, it isn't metal.

What does it even matter what guitar he plays? Sure, his Custom is nicer, but in the end, he plays whatever he feels comfortable with..

[jantjecool]

@PuR1fy Well, it hasn't have to be pointy at all.. I was just saying, man.

[riandamn]

why is everybody talkin nonsense ?! they both are great! John is one of the Guitar god and Matt soon will be one of them!

[dimezakkrandy]

John's thought process:

"...chords...

Mortals."

[FxShaldan]

muhuehe, showing black metal style before the very eyes of muscled catholic John is brave indeed :D

[headtur]

people,please do not disrespect matt.show me you can play better if not STFU and go suck on some plastic weed

[Lovemetallica93]

It's not always about having the best technique, but writing cool stuff. And Matt surely has the feel for melodies and riffs.

[gabocrbll]

ppl talk a lot of bullshit about matt, Im Sure, everyone of you fucking trolls, cant even play like matt

[bernabe69]

Adrenaline Mob transported me here...

[surgeyX]

That shit Matt's playing would make a good song...

[Dreadlocker3]

whats the song in the beginning? sounds djenty.

[01493DAVID]

@Dreadlocker3 "In Waves" by Trivium

[FtaCapoeiraWoot]

I'm going to use Matt's idea

[superhibur]

John Petrucci is so good he slows down my buffer.

[petrucciphan]

Both of these guitarists are crazy good. I love matt because he doesn't try to push any certain type of music on anyone and encourages them to like what they like. I like john petrucci because he's john petrucci!!!! \m/

[BADRANG4EVER]

well duh of course petrucci is WAAAAY better then heafy but that doesn´t mean that matt is a bad guitarist hell no and besides...it looked like both of them were having a good time with the other guy

[naochiMalmsteen]

okay folks, there's one thing u should know about the differences between MATT and PETRUCCI before you start to bitching in the comment sections:

MATT do the warm up before he start to playin' his guitar,

PETRUCCI just sitting and chilling around,wait his guitar warm up itself before played by him.

[Systemdestroye]

Petrucci's face on 2:14

[MegadethTestament]

Два отличных гитариста разных эпох вот тольк жаль в живю Мэтт зачастую часто лажает

[15viceandvirtues]

Even Matt seems like he feels he's in the presence of a higher power. Don't blame him. Both good guitarists though, but JP is on another plane compared to a lot of guitarists anyway!

[IvarKoster]

Come on people, stop dumping on Heafy. Sure Petrucci is a god. But Heafy is not a bad player either. He knows he's outclassed by Petrucci and shows him the respect he deserves. It even looks like he's enjoying these one-on-one lessons. Lucky bastard ;)

[Thebudgeismetal]

@IvarKoster Its pretty much a dream for him. Hes been useing pettrucci techniques since he was 17 I think. So John is one of his main influenses I think.

[cfmetal]

@IvarKoster

I couldn't have said it better myself man. Nice

[rab91787]

@IvarKoster Couldn't have said it better myself.

[DarkSideofKirby]

@IvarKoster

Yeah Matt's really damn good, saw him with Slipknot in '09, He was kickin' ass.

John Petrucci is my main role model when it comes to Guitar but Matt's really awesome as well.

[ColeJMatthews]

LOL @ the people that think Matt Heafy is a better guitarist than JP. I just wish that JP would do more in these videos. Matt Heafy seems like that guy at the party that doesn't let any other muzo at the party play on the guitar. That being said, he's a kickass guitarist, but JP is the boss. Period.

[LittleBritches9]

Holy Haters up in this bitch Batman! Matt is badass and Im sure this other dude is too whoever the fuck he is

[TheDebu666]

@LittleBritches9 this OTHER DUDE is the FREAKING GOD OF GUITAR when it comes to progressive metal, since u dont know anything STFU

[pualux]

@LittleBritches9 are you being sarcastic? cause sarcasm doesn't travel through the interweb as effectively as you'd think.

[wakingninja]

even matt looks embrassed by his (own) playing

[jonnyjonny26]

doesn't Matt Heafy look like Joseph Gordon Levitt?

[BuriedAlive7x]

@jonnyjonny26 Yeah I noticed that a while back. Especially in the Ascendancy days.

[roadrunneruntd]

@jonnyjonny26 he actually does !

[batako0o]

never expected to see this guys together!

[MrOlliguitar]

come on people... we all know petrucci is better, it's even pretty hilarious HOW much better he is but i mean, YOU dont sit there. so stfu xD it's not like matt is saying he's better than petrucci. i am pretty sure he looks up to him.

[KeithDeuser]

people that are talking about how much better petrucci is than heafy... STFU. Seriously... guitar playing isn't a fucking competition. how many of YOU people have toured the world playing YOUR original music??? Again, STFU.

[ericolml]

John Petrucci says: Oh, its really cool

John Petrucci thinks: Oh shit

[dias17se]

petrucci is calm like "cool but pathetic matt throw your guitar away you can never be like me " ahah

[Root0fEvil]

While Matt shows him his workout, John is thinking about shreds of mass extinction and eating small mammals

[Progehr34]

They're both great guitarists and great guys, but come on... Petrucci's the master.

[SASLEAD666]

John looks at matt and thinks: "I remember when i Just started out"

[mendozaedgar14]

matt use a les paul with in waves (CD) and ascendancy for drop

[dreamtheaterfan360]

Matts a great guitarist. its just that johns better

[yoshistuntz777]

Is it just me... or is it kinda weird seeing Matt use a Les Paul?

[dbzdbz]

lmao its funny how people are giving Matt Heafy shit just cause he's trying to learn from Petrucci.. you do realise you could put ANY guitar player in front of Petrucci and theyd look out of their league? and you do also realise that Matt Heafy can shred circles around most people who are not John Petrucci? just listen to Shogun!

[Mephistel]

@dbzdbz lmao, yeah, although I think that most people are just making jokes...Anyways I saw both bands in Clearwater in Oct, it was my first time hearing Trivium live, and even though Corey had to change strings (twice?) they still played a very tight show. Both very great musicians.

[Progehr34]

@dbzdbz You're definitely right about that

[shiznoes]

@dbzdbz There are numerous guitarists who can play just as well, if not better than Petrucci. ex. Shawn Lane, Paul Gilbert, Michael Romeo, Steve Vai, Mattias Eklundh, Vinnie Moore, Guthrie Govan. It's just that Matt Heafy simply sucks.

[TheWhocares233]

Thats' great matt...Now watch as I destroy you.

[bielus86]

1:52 Matt was really exhausted after playing those riff and for John it was just warm up:D

[tonysarrio1]

Please do not accidentally kill him John, He is trying. His riff sounds good!!

[metallicakixtotalass]

lmao this conversation even sounds like a guitar teacher who watches his student try to be badass, while the teacher humors him by nodding and saying "Yeah, man, that's cool," condescendingly.

[Guitardreams182]

WHat is good about Matt is that he is trying to learn of what John has to say, he's not trying to even up with Petrucci and shit.

[shaqdaddy11]

Its amazing what a humble guy JP is. If i was as good as JP id act like Zakk Wylde lol.

[shadowspy2]

Thanks RR Records. I really enjoy these videos.

[Elisabetunderatten]

MATT HEAFY IS AWESOMESAUCE ITSELF!!

[oczko3]

Matt Heavy looks like Kirk Hammet without long hair :)

[TheBunnyKnowsBest]

why is everyone hating on matt heafy? john petrucci didnt even play... pussy

[Theaterofdreams12]

@TheBunnyKnowsBest Because JP doesnt HAVE to play..Hes done enough of that over the last 25 years to prove himself

[TheBunnyKnowsBest]

@Theaterofdreams12 so has matt heafy...

[Theaterofdreams12]

@TheBunnyKnowsBest Matt hasnt proven himself anywhere near what JP has, just being honest. Do you think Matt could write and produce anything near what JP really can? Matt just seems too one dimensional for me, i prefer the diversity of DT music over that of any other band ive heard

[dias17se]

@TheBunnyKnowsBest matt sucks compared to jp sorry.......

[tonysarrio1]

@TheBunnyKnowsBest Matts riff sounds good actually. I will never understand why people hate on someone for no reason at all!

[SuperbossGames]

Kudos to them both for obviously being into so many different kinds of music. That's what inspires me as well!

[Fezek0]

THIS SHOULD BE LONGER!

[ShiftyStealthy]

lol at 0:34 petrucci is like ""fuckin noob..."

[namfonnnnnnnnn]

เท่จริง!

[jusia80]

I've certainly done something good to deserve these videos, two of my favorite artists sitting down together to give us a bit of a peak into how they think when it comes to playing and music overall. Thank you!

[Tragedyfall]

hahaha, i can read the mind of Petrucci when he watched Matt play that riff *nooooobbbbb. nooobbbbbb, noob*

[caseyguitarist]

@Tragedyfall Can you do better?

[dias17se]

@caseyguitarist jp can

[Guitarqanqsta]

A dramatic turn of events is awesum, and i can play alread 2 songs of it, but Black clouds and silvier linings is my favourite !! DREAM THEATER RULES !

[systematicdesign]

Papá petrucci enseñándole algo importante a Matt Heafy

[muguripon]

2:39 editing fail

[dondinoy]

Petrucci brought me here :)

[Rockyroopam]

wtf...was petrucci serious? thats easy shit not advanced technique :P sarcasm

[locochupacerebros]

I think Petrucci is being sarcastic haha

[TheLegacy411]

I am worried about last episode where john might turn into "that well known monster" and kill Matt there.

[XzevastianX]

John Petrucci: That's awesome, I used to play that when I was 6 years old, just before going to bed

[djteac]

@XzevastianX wait wait wait..... John Petrucci sleeps?

[MrJoerockerfella]

@djteac its not sleep in the traditional meaning, When John closes his eyes its pulls the universe towards him, otherwise its expansion would hold no galaxies together including our own.

[daniju93]

@XzevastianX HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHA Dang dude, you sir made my day.

[MinoStraussen]

When matt plays, specially during the fast rythm riffs it loos like he is giving the finger...

[vitokin13blues]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aah !xD

[oooledzeppelinooo]

what's the song at 2:26?

[WhiteDeath]

@oooledzeppelinooo It's "Build me up, break me down" new DT CD :)

[WhiteDeath]

Matt is pretty good, nice right hand technique! But Petrucci is the master... in every aspect I mean

[Donlionhearted]

1:17-1:20 sounds like gojira

[trainity14]

1:18 i fucking love that riff!!!

[blackpoopshadowfear]

No wonder Matt got so good at guitar!!! John is his Master! \\m//

[IvanTheGreat555]

Heafy!!!!!!

[Blackrosejordy]

matt heafy and john petrucci in the same video. THIS IS JUST. TOO GOOD!

[Proximity1o1]

This should be called "John Petrucci teaches Matt Heafy how to play guitar" from now on.

[ElvisBluntman777]

@Proximity1o1 lol this sounds more appropriate "John Petrucci shows a newb that he will forever be a newb"

[koryakapelinal333]

@Proximity1o1 He's used John Petrucci tapes to warm up since he started playing guitar, so yeah. John Petrucci has "taught" a lot of guitar players. lol

[Paradigmshift2]

@Proximity1o1 I have been thinking that through watching these episodes.

[TheBunnyKnowsBest]

@Proximity1o1 erm... no

[kaiowatribe]

@Proximity1o1 Matt is a great guitar player. Petrucci is fucking awesome, but petrucci is 44 years old and mr heafy is 25. He has a long way to go...

[Sniperkitten971]

LesPaul in Metal is life.

[dsevilme]

the past 2 videos iv heard some sick riffs from both guitarist and i never heard john shred his style or pattern in this video why??

[AukGuitarGuy]

Guys chill!! Its not a contest. They're both amazing on guitar, and everybody has his own taste.

[squishyfaceguy]

matt heafy's tattoo's are so amazing. and that's coming from a guy who doesnt even like tattoos

[joselobohorquezlizan]

PETRUCCI IS THE ONLY GUITARIST OF DREAM THEATER! WHY THE "LEAD GUITARIST"

[mustangrule2]

i prefer matt's riffs and songwriting, john is faster and could win in an arm wrestle, so it's a tie.

[TheKidGizmo]

@mustangrule2 you don't listen to much Dream Theater, do you?

[mustangrule2]

@TheKidGizmo i do, actually, seen them live twice, i prefer their instrumentals, never been a fan of labrie, personally. it's just that 25 minute long songs of pure shredding seems more masturbatory than an actual a well written song. you can chalk that up to being progressive, but it works out to boring, and before you attack my attention span or accuse me of being a teenie bopper, i don't listen to radio, and love long songs . . . personal preference, as is all music.

[Mokumbo]

i noticed a spark.



[CrucifiedForNoSIn]

A little short, didnt take much from it. Cool nonetheless.

[NeckPickup]

its a good thing that petrucci fellow is in a good mood in these videos. i read on wikileaks he can kill people with shred.

[Jimmyl2spell]

surprised heafy wasn't a little more intimidated to be next to a god

[MetalMakesMeEargasm]

@Jimmyl2spell Thats because Matt is also a god

[gustavosimass]

HEEEEEELLL! Matt is AWESOME! But if I was him I would be probably shitting on my pants.

[ChromeCelica00]

So cool seeing these 2 in a video together, I love Matt's picking styles.

[Bj0RNare]

love them both!

[dethklok107]

HEAFY HEAFY HEAFY

[sturty]

MATT FTFW

[fatreaper1000]

trivium 4 life!

[TheMMGStudio]

all credit to matt heafy! if i was in front of john i wouldnt even be able to play a note properly haha
