  • hey where did u get your backing track? i need to find one

  • @popdog008 no backing track brotha. just the regular track.

  • awesome playing!

  • what wah wah you using man? or were using lol

  • How can anyone say this is fake? Its obvious he is playing. I grew up around music and my brother played guitar...i played drums...what hes doing you cant just fake..it doesn't work that way. His fingers are way to fluid and you can hear some mistakes...only a few but its obvious hes playing with the song...morons just looking to put him down cause he has talent...jealousy?

  • dont fuck on them dude....this vid is amazing...btw i have the same guitar...look at my videos....they are short. ure an amazing player....ure so fucking young, 17 18.....im 20....ure good as hell ...keep the good work going guitar brother ;)))

  • @albanianvirtuoso in this vid i'm probably 18, but i'm 23 now lol bout to graduate with my bachelors in percussion...then hopefully off to MI in LA :D

  • @Bl4lock 2:44 you can hear petrucci's pinch harmonic in the background which I don't play. 3:21 I miss the pinch harmonic and mine is a different pitch from petrucci's. 3:42 I miss a pinch harmonic again. must I go on?...

  • @Bl4lock or...the fact that someone can actually do something well by putting hours and years of work into it and ppl say that it's fake when it's clearly not can really offend someone. Why don't you stop arguing with me and actually listen to it carefully for those mistake spots? 0:51 I'm flat. 1:09 I go for the octaves instead of power chords...CLEARLY proof that you're hearing MY guitar not petrucci's. 1:36 I accidentally hit an open string.

  • Great Playin!!!! Like how you utilized the wah-wah in there! Good Stuff!

  • que master

  • @Bl4lock look through the comments. You'll find ppl pointing specific spots where I make mistakes where you can tell the difference between mine and petrucci's guitars. The fact that anyone thinks this is fake only tells of their horrendous ear.

  • ahhh I hate those who bug awesome players*like our young man here* about tone...let the guy play music however HE likes it..great job on that piece man..keep on rocking big

  • incredible!

  • Nice Playing... My Custom Classic Diamond Series Schecter is like way darker than yours... almost like a stained Maple wood it has the same fretboard design and stuff and gold on it.... They are great sounding guitars Activ EMG-S are the best on the market =D anybody looking into buying a new guitar i recommend you buy a schecter or a Gibson

  • Hey Eric, I have the same Schecter as you; are you happy with the pickups? I'm feeling like something's missing on the high end. I think its a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge. It just doesn't register the way it should and I have a ton of difficulty picking up harmonics. I don't know if you have noticed any of this with yours or even feel the same way. Just curious.

  • sácate universal mind y eres mi héroe :)

  • dude where´s the second half! Best cover so far in youtube!

  • (mmmm) i love schecter

  • do I even look remotely asian?! i'm hispanic...

  • wow, a blind, ignorant racist flame twat. i've never seen this on the internet before!!

  • @SXLotEoF

    Haha burn!

  • i love you

  • wow nice man ;D

  • GIVE ME THE TAB

    GOOD JOB

  • WOW!!!

  • GREAT MATE..

  • incredible!!!!!!!!!

  • \+/ omg dis is ownage

  • WoW. That will wake ya up!

  • kick ass. \m/

  • cool fret inlay, cool playing too

  • So were you playing with a clean channel on the amp and using the pedal entirely for the effects, or is there amp overdrive as well?

  • definitely all pedal. the overdrive on the amp sounds terrible. i would never use it. i just like the amp because its clean. no coloring of the tone, as if i was going thru a PA...which i do most of the time so that helps my sounds stay consistent between my room and the gig.

  • How do find the pickups (Duncans right)? I also have that same Schecter and I think it's great but I am finding the bridge pickup a bit weak. When I play legato I have to slam my fingers down to get sound out of it. What do you think? Your playing looks very effortless, did you change this puckups?

  • in the bridge i have a Seymour Duncan JB-4, very stock rock pickup. very popular.

    you might wanna try raising the actual pickup on your guitar to get a stronger signal...

  • HAHA, I can't believe it but that never even occurred to me. I guess that would be the easiest fix of all. I'll try that tomorrow. The JB-4 sounds familiar, if that is how the Schecter comes off the shelf then that's what I have too. BTW that intro lick on Paradigm Shift is a real monster. Great great job! I been working at that one for a month and I still can't get it up to speed.

  • dude if you gig and you can play like this invest in some decent gear.. a multieffects through a pa sounds so sterile.. and while it may be consistent its sterile and pretty crappy sounding. Besides if you had your amp you can make the amp be consistent. if you like petrucci go out and get a nice mesa.. thats what he uses.. you'd like a mesa F-50 or a mark IV..

  • sounds great...you paying? lol

  • theyre not that much.. lol. you can get a DC-5 amp for like less than 700.. or an f-50 for about 800.. You'd really like it :) its totally worth it and im so glad i shelled out the money on some mesa gear.. and im poor.. so what does that tell you lol

  • what type of string u use?? what size??

  • omg its not a fake, you can hear the backing track playing in the background and the guitar sounds different

  • sorry! not fake!

    there actually are ppl better than you...

    :)

  • haha told

  • You have Petrucci's tone almost spot on! Excellent Job!

  • nice sound! 5 stars well deserved

  • looks fake... may just be a lag tho

  • its not a fake.

  • it might not be... but the music started like half a second before his fingers or his right hand did at the beginning

  • well that would be lag. at least thats what i think.

  • great cover

    amazing guitar man!!!

  • esa cancion esta imposible como la aprendiste men

  • Eric

    You have really become an accomplished gutiarist. Guess the guitar was a good investment.

    Bob

  • you're sick as fuck dude

  • holly shit dude.

    sick.

  • dude. thats AWESOME!!!!!

  • I just covered this on the bass, check my cover out and tell me what you think. Nice job man! 5/5 without a doubt!

  • sick video buddy gotta love JP and LTE

  • nice schecter dude, i was looking for a nice schecter 7-string, but the necks are thicker than your wrist, so i got an ibanez.

    nice video btw.

  • Don't get me wrong but you don't pick from the wrist ?

    Need to work on the pull offs of the main lick and the speed picking - pull off lick. Good cover though.

  • What settings did you have on your gt6 for this?

  • cant hear you dude

    sorry!

  • Ha, i think hes the only guitar you hear! The tone is just spot-on!

  • ohh,,so sorry now I can,,

    my amplification sucks..

    anyway now I can hear it!

    days ago I didnt hear anything..was like video with no sound!!

    good work dude!

  • This is awesome. Anybody who gives this less than five stars is an idiot.

  • woohoo RAPID

  • Very impressive skills. Your tone kills man, what kind of set up do you use? I'm in the market for an amp, and might just have to pick up a Schecter C-1 Classic too after seeing this

  • este weyy es un pendejjoo a la mierdaa

  • very nice! but dont get a big head because petrucci still utterly rapes almost everybody on guitar.

  • you can its him lol.. he has a slightly diff tone to JP on this song plus you can hear him slightly off in parts and the accidental squeals every so often

  • I don' know....but if you play without the back track we can liste really you..

  • dude, u rock my pants off

  • you own

  • Really impressive, never thought that someone who tap with the left hand had so much agility :-D ... EXCELLENT, continue to practicing, never burn yourself leave diarly practice, keep learning new stuff and teaches your gift to the others, do not save it for yourself, teach what you know, this is what truly makes you an immortal in this world. I wish you a lot of successes.

  • sorry, wrong perspective, you tap with the right :P , really sorry. whatever, you still having a great agility.

  • omg this guitar looks so good wow

  • BRAVO !!!

  • Hahaaa!! great!

  • FUKK DAT!

    DATS NOT HIM PLAYING!

  • shut up.

  • ...it is him playing. he ROCKED! i wish he put the music lower so we can rly hear him playing more. with the music so loud kinda hides your mistakes. \m/ man you did so GOOD

  • well if you saw him live you would know he really is that badass

  • no vale, tu eres chino

  • the slow parts the best!

  • how how ??? great man! XD

    how much did you spend to play this song??? please answer

  • First off, you rule. You're awesome and you stopped at the best time. I don't like the slow part.

    Second, my friend's FIRST guitar is a Schecter C-1 Artist Lefty Edition. It's a $900 guitar, but he got it for about $250 because no one wanted a lefty. I still secretly hate him for...but I still think your guitar is much nicer, better sounding, and overall cooler.

    Keep shredding man.

  • man thats great playin john would be proud

  • omg... awsome ... woah look at your fingers go i can hardly see then to fast for camera lol ... ;D

  • what guitar did you use? it sound and look great. im getting it

  • He Used A Schecter C-1 Classic Diamond Series I Think :)!!

  • i'll get it some day...:)

  • Also, for those of you who think hes faking it, you can clearly hear a missed harmonic at 3:41...

  • Whats the difference between the c1 classic and c1 classic diamond series? besides the different finish? How much was it( if you dont mind me asking)

  • its dirt cheap at 700 dollars...but i gauruntee you will never find a nicer playing guitar for even 1000 more, and there is no C-1 Classic...just the Diamond Series C-1 Classic...normally they only come in red, blue and a sunburst so where he got that color beats me

  • for all the people who's saying hes faking is stupid first of all why would someone waste their time to put up a video they faked.. hes just very good and you dont accept how good he is . btw i looked up the guitar tab and hes playing all the notes just about to what my tab says . good job eric keep shredding. :D

  • madre mia tio!!!

    Nos vemos en el senayo

    A ver si te mola nuestro grupo y te quedas!!

    *CLIPER*

  • sweet ass shred, wheres can i get my hands on that tab? i got a version but some of the chords you use sound better,

  • hahaha dude that was badass, you had a few rough parts but hell you're playing a REALLY hard song so thats to be expected. Nice guitar, is that a Shecter?

  • I probally already commented on this video, but Im just in love with it! Its amazing!

    But I have one question, why dont you do the artificial harmonics on some parts?

  • meh, i probably just missed 'em.

  • your playing wasn't bad the guitar color personally i don't like, but the fret board kicks some ass man :P

  • bahhh godddamn... nice skills, I'm getting better though :P i'm hpoing to be able to play this soon lol

  • GREATTTTTT!!!!! LIKE A PRO!!!

  • that would be a schecter CS by the looks of it.

  • Schecter C-1 Classic Diamond Series

  • DUDE!!!!!

    That was more than awesome ....

    I can't belive what I'm seeing. :-O

  • sweet guitar dude. what is it?

  • Frigging Amazing kid!!! And no "whammy bar" on that guitar either - I know Petrucci uses that in this song - good job!

  • play : not bad

    sound : not bad

    guitar : NICE MAN!

  • Holy shit your amazing at guitar

    /kick in the vagina...the person under me

  • You... you're incredible !

    /kiss !

  • Amazing...... /bows

  • btw good job and nice guitar man

  • also, at 1.36 he plays a note wrong, you cant miss that

  • listen to this queer, the fact you only found one wrong note ,eams he's pretty damn good seeing how he plays like 1000 or more notes in this one song faggot

  • at around 0.55 you cannot be able to not tell there are two different guitars.. and althrough after that

  • ya good dog!!!

  • man..nice guitar..nice playing..you rock. i can play that song to at full speed..but every note may not sound right if i play it that fast.hahaha...do you design your own guitar?..nice...i have a petrucci signature guitar..love petrucci..i like the under a glass moon solo..cheers! =P

  • nice dude. i can BARELY play the intro at 50% speed. that thing is insane, you rock!

  • yeah if only you were actually playing with an amp so we'd know if it sounds like the song instead of you just pseudo playing to the song of which is playing in the background...

  • the amps on the counter facing the camera just like the CD player. if you really can't hear both guitars you either have a really bad ear, or i played the crap outta the song and you can't tell if it's me or petrucci....i'd say it's probably a little bit of both.

  • OMFG Tocas increible... Yo me la puedo ahora, pero en el speed me descordino un poco todavia, y no tengo wah, pero ya se viene... ahi despues la subo. Oye tocas increible, tu guitarra suena excelente, tienes la misma tonalidad de Petrucci, y tu tecnica es muy buena.

    ROCK ON!

  • omg i love this song!..i love playing it i love listing to it i love...reading the name of it! lol its pwnage! my freinds can only play upto 2:15 its anoying i cant find any1 that can play this shit apart from me!!!

  • NICE <3 you are the second best guitarist ive seen, can you play universal mind?

  • Well done my man, well done.

  • crazy crazy, still love it<33

  • dammit man you live all the way in texass...i wish there were guys like you that lived by me. i am a drummer and i would love to jam with you....keep it up man you are fucking awesome. and anyone who thinks this is fake is just jealous cause they can never play this song. stop being little bitches and show some respect.

  • nn ti sento

  • Really, really good. The beginning 16th runs sounded so good. How much treble you putting into that?

  • NOW DO UNIVERSAL MIND! xD Seriously man, that was fucking immense.

  • I cant fault this at all. I also detect no lagging. & its obviously not fake, if one was going to go to the trouble of learning the correct fingering of a song even down to the vibrato in order to fake they might as well just learn the song properly. very good job, this guy is badass

  • clip is fucked up or it's fake.

  • why? is it lagging? right now it's not lagging for me...

  • first u hear guitar then u start to play

  • well then i'm sorry your computer is lagging. i dunno why everyone sees this and automatically thinks it's fake. can anyone accept the fact that there are actually players out there that can play this song almost perfectly? it's like they're just looking around at everyone's vids just trying to find something that incriminates them of faking...

  • Haha yes. I know what you're talking about. Just like people spotting 1 mistake in 2000 good tries and flame those people's asses. Don't even bother replying to them!

    Nice run m8, keep it up.

  • Nah, you don't listen right.

  • It isn't.

  • It's not lagging smart ass, fix your PC.

  • perfect. XD

  • AMAZING...

  • nice guitar

  • looks fake coz almost perfect..

  • Good stuff :)

  • i don't know how the fuck anyone could say you suck dude. and it's not fake he has his hands in the right positions

  • holy shit dude

  • omfg i wish u were in aus fuckn pwnage

  • your fake man watch my video im petrucci you know

  • okay...

  • i love you.

  • dude what amp do you use? awesome tone.

  • Awesome.

    Insane skillz.

  • Absolutely sick.

  • Man anyone who thinks it's fakes is just in awe that someone can be that good. It's obviously real....but man is it ever spot on. Keep it up.

  • Cheers bro (B)

  • lol eric soto rules, cuanto llevas tocando? algun dia espero tocar como tu xD

  • you are my f*cking hero man :P. Awesome guitar .

  • awsome man. I also have a Schecter c1 classic but i didn't no that colour model yet.

  • Awesome playing man, anyone who says this is faked is a fucking moron, and we all know there are plenty of those about. It's a shame that only people who understand how good you really are can appreciate it. Class cover man, you have serious talent.
