Actually, talent helps, but people who are horrible can become pro if they practice enough. You'll be surprised how long these guys practice and how bad they were when they started. Obviously, John Petrucci had a lot of talent, but that accounts for little of what he has achieved compared to hard work.
People give patorocker5 thumbs down not because he said it is from a game but because he said a tapping technique sounds ridiculous...it is actually used by many guitarists; I don't think it sounds ridiculous at all it sounds pretty damn good...
Ur right, and i don't know why people give u thumbs down BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY IS FROM A VIDEOGAME! read below and then judge..
From wikipedia:
Petrucci also wrote and recorded two instrumental soundtrack songs for a Sega Saturn game titled Digital Pinball: Necronomicon. Each track is roughly two minutes long and they are simply titled "Prologue" and "Epilogue". Petrucci is an avid Sega Saturn gamer, and has revealed in interviews that he never tours without one.
i remember i was on my guitar class and my teacher was teaching that song to me and other students and he play that part around 1:30-1:38 and me and the other students was laughin because the ridicolous that sound i mean sound like a video game of 80 playi it realy fast
hey man, nicely done! if u can play this i think you are ready to move on to Blotted Science and anything by that nut by the name of Ron Jarzombek. Cheers!
All I've ever heard is the Guitar Pro tab, and you really nailed it! One hell of a shredding-ride, and you nailed it! I commend you for such a great skill.
wel done just awesome offcourse there are better players but e does what he does and has to do to make this sound clean and awesome its pretty great props for al your videos go and replace megadriver now.
hard to tell how much of it was you and how much was the background music... You can tell it is to intertwinned in the upper solo part when you can hear a wah effect, but you are obviously not using a wah...not bad either way
Of course when a guy with great skill shows himself, people hate him, thats how this world is. He'll just have to accept the fact that some people can't believe what they see or hear. But yeah, all of your videos are great!
dude!!!!!!! this is awsome!!! cam you subscribe my video's?????

I knew a few people there who played/practiced 10 hours a day.
Tons of insanely good people, but still gotta remember one thing, practice makes perfect.
