  • musicman jp with no scoop??

    is that prototype?

  • @center4444 it's one of the first models, notice the knobs too?

  • 15 people ran out of socks to masturbate into

  • Sounds like Santanna only to me more interesting.

  • Love this guitar finish color :P(when i don't like music man's at all). Magically playing... he is so mystical while playing slowies *.*.

  • John Petrucci 7...as in Grade 7...the Guitar Grade that is just out of reach of his talent and ability. He sucks.

  • @Ardolino21 seven as in seven string guitar, dude. what a fail of an insult lol

  • Comment removed

  • @Ardolino21 your insult to Petrucci was also a pun, which is why I found it so laughable. Usually I don't jump on people who write pointless "this sucks" comments on vids, but yours was so dumb it just made me laugh and I had to say something. I mean, "he's so bad at guitar that he wouldn't make it into 'guitar grade 7'" - really? You ought to have just wrote "i don't think he's that great, here's a different guitarist who's better" or something.

  • Comment removed

  • @Ardolino21 I don't see a lot of trolls on prog metal threads. Oh well, now I know =[

  • @jsteele07189 yeah hes very progressive isn't he...not progressed from 70s guitar playing lol.

  • @Ardolino21 idiot john petrucci has more talent in his lil finger than most modern guitar players these days. He can deliver any genre of music within his songs and his ability to play is above anyones.

  • @Ouijack170 totally wrong. He cannot deliver any genre of music...at all. Show me him playing some funky stuff, or actually bluesy stuff, not generic fast rock blues, or jazz, or soul....its boring generic guitar playing. Im guessing you play guitar, and If you think he can deliver any genre of music, better than anyone...you must clearly know little of music. Sorry.

  • @Ardolino21 You clear no nothing of JP and his playing. If you hate JP why watch a video on him? :s Bit sad isnt it watch something you would enjoy instead. And he is one of the most iconic guitar players of all time. And for showing how little i know about music. What are you on about man? i do a full time music course and am going to be doing a uni degree next year in it. I think i know my fair share of music dude. :)

  • @Ardolino21 better than anyone no. better than you me or anyone else that'll comment this video yes. you have absolutely zero room to bad mouth JP he's a goddam legend.

  • @Spidermanownz Good point. He has put in more hours than me, and 'better' than you and me, depends what you class better I know people that would class Seasick Steve a better guitarist than JP because JP just wanks off on the fretboard, but Seastick Steve makes music that is better to them on the guitar...could be said he plays 'better' than Hendrix/Jeff Beck because of technique..but he doesn't have shit on them two...

  • someone kno names of this guitar?

  • @ktyczynski music man john petrucci model.

  • Shit, i got here cause i thought he would be playing an 7 string ;x

  • whats the name of this song?..or is it impro? ... if its a song please tell me xD, its fukin amazing!..

  • damn, john like to do porn music !

  • @chimairakickass Which porn do you watch? If this is the type of music the porn movies you watch have, PLEASE send me the names, I would love to watch them just for the music haha.

  • @tastefulphrasing lol, it's not a porn movie what i'm talking about, but this :"John Petrucci - Improvisacion "

    just watch this vid and you'll understand !

  • o god i really need this backing track! so apparently he sampled "callas went away" from enigma. but the original is not in the right key and is a little bit faster, too. and i think he's using a slightly different chord progression. anyone knows more? anyone able to identify the chord progression he's using? would be amazing. i stumbled upon a remake of "callas went away" by cecil harding, but it doesn't sound right, either. i got the guitar part of the first 2' 20'', tho.

  • needs to be reuploaded with lesbians making out

  • this video isn't of him playing a seven string...clearly the person who made this video/uploaded it was just titling it that way because it is the seventh video in his series of John Petrucci videos :)

  • only a 6 string not jp7 like the video says

  • porn

  • LOL i like the gheto midi background music

  • I wonder which shampoo he uses...

  • @janecroft Def. Maine and tail haha

  • sounds like santana

  • 12 trolls...hmm find a better vid to troll on get out of here

    thumbs up or die

  • He is jamming on porn intro music.

  • is this a song or him jamming out?

  • but most importatly does anyone know where i can get one of those data dumps?XD hehehehe

  • whats the name of this song?or is it just improv?

  • TokaCola yes there are ones mono or magnetic and the other is by peizo pickup

  • he doesnt need to make faces... people are too distracted with what hes doing on the fretboard anyway

  • are there 2 output jacks on that guitar ??

  • @TokaCola yep, the other one its for the piezo

  • Steve Morse Style, but then again John is mainly inspired by the legendary Morse!!!

  • as 30/06/2010  12 people suck at life. and 207 are doing fine. :) Petrucci videos are a true test of character, those of us who appreciate Petrucci enough will not die when he brings apocalypse with shredding and sweeping from hell that will incinerate you or maybe just cut time vertically into 10 slices.

  • @scythelog Why would you want Petrucci to come from hell?

  • I want the backing track

  • The room exploded after the solo and only this tape and petrucci survived

  • Love making music lol

  • hahaha that's the lamest backing track ive heard in awhile

    good thing john knew what to do with it

  • i just got naked

  • @RLuteran rofl!!!

  • petrucci is the man LET THE HORIZON BECOMETH lol

  • Hey Petrucci I don't mean to alarm you but there's some chinese dude following us.

    Yeah I know, just keep walking

  • i swear i've heard this in a porno before

  • @classicrocker07 Clearly you haven't watched much porn. If this is what porn music sounds like then I would be addicted. And not because of the whores.

  • @classicrocker07 more like the grocery store

  • @classicrocker07 owning you win man xd

  • it sounds like ocean stages of megaman

  • Sex musiC

  • I was about to post the exact same thing... ^_^

  • I actually met John at Washington Music Center in DC. He is one of the most modest and nicest guys you will ever meet. I meet Myung too, and he isn't as quite as you may think ;D He's really polite too.

  • @MikeTheDark001: +1. John is one of the nicest and most humble people you will meet. I have personally hung out with him and his wife on 2-3 occasions and they were both very nice, and John couldn't get enough of chatting up Boogie gear and technique. Great guy.

  • that beat came straight off an enigma cd! Sounds like Callas Went Away to me.

  • John Petrucci is the king of bending :-)

  • It's an improvisation..very nice! Petrucci rulez!

  • John Petrucci = GOD

    The Backing Track = DEVIL

  • oh man.

  • It goes to show you don't have to make funny faces to "show" feeling.

  • Don't tell a blues player that man. lmao j/k Feel is all in the interpretation!

  • @ExtremeBogom You are right, though people don't make faces in order to show feeling, they do faces because they don't want to concentrate on NOT doing faces (because we all know it comes naturally) and by that maybe make the guitarist's playing worse.

  • I totally agree with that man. Spot on.

  • @Blade686 Musicians make faces to connect stronger and get more involved with their music. My playing sucked for years until i started making faces like Vai. Now i connect so well with my music i get the notes right without even looking at it.

  • @dvsdez cause u make faces? lol...

  • @dvsdez yeah. it involves you man. follow the music, with your body language. its awesome

  • @ExtremeBogom exactly, he's a silent lover haha

  • @ExtremeBogom But that is half the fun!

  • he should write another solo album !

  • This is a man at one with his guitar!...

  • Wow 0:56 love that quick open high e

  • @IbanezDemon

    Great observation. Thanks for pointing it out!

  • Sex!! Sex!!

  • you dont like Petrucci.... I DONT LIKE YOU!!!!

  • Not just an amazing Guitarist, but an amazing musician.

  • god what a lame backround track

  • sound quality :(

  • wow

  • 2:35 interesting lick

  • Dude, but thats a Musicman JP-6 not 7

  • its the 7th video of this clinic that dtgerald posted

  • i dont like much petrucci but this is really good

  • Good tune with one criticism - he uses the alternate picking at odd times and does quite fit.I noticed this about his style in a lot of his solos.I think hes great at mixing jazz with blues.

  • He is well known as one of the best alternate picking guitarist, he uses that style quite a lot of time

  • Tucci music man FTW

  • I love it

  • holy crap this is so tasty and emotion grasping... u cant just listen to this without feelin it too.

    epic! 5/5 stars and then some!

  • Great feeling

  • WoW

  • Wrong. Pickup switching and the piezo.

  • Why are there 2 toggle switches on that guitar?

  • the upper one is for the piezo bridge pickups. its a different type of clean tone

  • top is for the piezo and the bottom is a standard 3way toggle between the humbuckers. the top selector is also 3 way so you can either have piezo, piezo+electric signal or just the humbuckers

  • 1 for tone and one for switching humbuckers

  • Drum loop is from Enigma, Back to the rivers of belief, i think

  • hmm good porn music

  • for real!

  • ahahaha.. "panamanian" 4 president :D

  • great playing, i cant help thinking bout mike oldfield's licks

  • Man what scales is he using?

    this sounds beautiful!

  • natural minor/blues scales throughout.

  • what kind of whammy bar set up is that? Like what is it called?

  • It's a custom Musicman trem that was made for him. Best trems ever.

  • i completely agree,i have had several floyds and ibanez trems but the trem on my JP7 is the easiest to use, most functional trem i have ever found. Stays in PERFECT tune even when your strings should have long been replaced. And, requires no locks. Its amazing.

  • hipshot make very good bridges like john's. however not with piezo pickups inbuilt. if thats not a problem get hipshots, available in 6or 7 strings

  • that's a non-locking floyd I believe, not a hipshot. Similiar though.

  • well floyd and hipshot are company names, not types.

    hipshot i think would be the best stand-alone bridge that you could buy without buying a jp guitar

  • that's what I mean, hipshot doesn't make vibrato bridges, or at least I haven't heard of one. Also your latter statement is very subjective; I personally like Ibanez gibraltar bridges. And the last time I checked out the guitar I thought it said the bridge was a floyd; I did check it out now, it was just a custom music man bridge.

  • yeah they do man! hipshot make very good wilkinson style bridges.

    yeah id prefer to not have a floyd-type system on my guitar but second hand guitars leave you with fewer options :)

    also hipshot make the only (as far as i am aware) 7 string-wilkinson style bridges.

  • It sounds alot like Carlos Santana to me.

    The style, that is.

  • it's not about how long you practice it's about what you practice :)

  • porno music

  • i agree xD

  • yeah, your ' re right!

  • lmao

  • yeah thats definitely improv

  • what album is this from?

    what album is this from?

    what album is this from?

  • This isn't from an album, it's just a premade rhythm you hear, and it wouldn't surprise me if JP is making this up while playing..

  • omg beautiful,

    What album is this from?

  • i want to know what he fucking practiced for six hours everyday, cause you can easily waste six hours on mindless bullshit.

  • Get his rock discipline dvd. Great stuff on it

  • very expressive

  • john petrucci 4 president!!!!

  • why would you wanna demote him to president?

  • You're right .. john petrucci and the father of progressiv let the dream theater :)

  • Ya every time my parents try to ground me I use the whole "Ya good fucking job you just took away a talent" sorta deal and my dads almost always sides with me on it or gives it back like the next day or so...lol try it out it works for me :)

  • my parents tryed that on me and i told them "you can't take away something a bought with my own money!" lol

  • qe pija es esto.... YNGWIE MALMSTEEN RLZ (?)

  • i think dream theater needs some tracks with this style.. i love it. DT ROCKSSS!!

  • Im not aloud to play guitar for 3 weeks thats a horror is there somebody who feel with me?

  • haha my parents tried to do that to me.

    and i was just like "oh good fuckin going, your going to take away the only thing im good at, and my artistic talent for a few feeks. i think your crazy"

    and then they didnt take it away haha. try that out.

  • i agree! only thing im actualy good at!

  • Same here. It's pretty much all I do. I also say that it keeps me out of trouble because it's constructive and creative.

  • my parents wouldn't even try that because I would annoy them so much. I spend five hours a day playing guitar. imagine how annoying i would be without that distraction?

  • man that guitar is so sweet

  • This is for anyone who says petrucci doesn't have soul

  • Clearly his soul is on the level of SRV, Gilmour, and Slash.

  • when people say that muscicians have no feeling.. its the gayest thing ive ever heard.. what do people figure they play with.. there dicks.. lol... i meen obviosuly if u like to do something enough to do it..

    then theres a feeling there.. i honestly wanna blow my brains out when people say.. ohh malmsteen has no feel.. he should play with feel next time.. shut up faggots

  • I completely agree man. They don't understand, that maybe yngwie malmsteens soul is going 100 miles per hour, maybe that in his mind is soul. People can say what they want about yngwie, yngwie can play anything he wants, and with greater ease than mose guitar players. Soulful doesn't always have to be slow.  haha.

  • omfg I love you guys. AT FUCKING LAST someones using brain when judging "soul" in musicans. 100% agreed

  • you're right!

    one important thing is that music is very subjective... there are people in this world (belive it or not lol) that when they listen to this they're like "um... ok enough, I want my reggeaton :D"

    if you like one guitarrist or another, is just about "style" and what you like to listen, that's it

  • I agree as well. What constitutes soul? What you feel. As long as what you played expresses yourself in some way, it can be considered soulful. When someone listens to something that is truly felt, they feel it too. There is something substantial and moving about it. I think that people close themselves to feeling what someone else feels whenever technicality comes into the picture. Technicality has the same capacity to express as anything else, and I hope more people acknowledge that.

  • ahhhhhh thank god. you people rock.

  • Thank you! That's so very true. If you aren't bending notes for ten minutes, then all of sudden, you lack feel and emotion, according to some people. It's ridiculous, because the idea of 'emotion', is to express oneself, whether it be anger, joy, or despair. And since Petrucci, along with many others has mastered the art of conveying all of these feelings and more, his emotion should not be questioned.

  • Feel is a very nebulous term, in the way that many people use it. Really, anything can convey a certain "feel". Fast technical runs convey franticness or energy, wailing bending conveys longing, rigidness conveys tension.... As long as there is a tangible thing or feeling you are trying to express in what you are playing, what you play can be considered felt. And also, if you express a tangible idea, what you do will be connected by the underlying idea. I can definitely sense a connection here.

  • Yes, there is certainly a very apparent correlation, between ideas within the mind, and musical intepretation from the soul. Any self respecting musician will evaluate what they are trying to achieve, in order to speak fluenty and eloquently through their language. Some are particularly skilled with this gift, and I feel this is one of Dream Theater's many strengths.

  • roland GR 20 *_*

  • :O xD

  • What a virtuous solo...

  • like the sex music from Blue orchid, his best yet, very cool. I got to see him at Wild West Guitars in Riverside, and I am proud of him to see that he's still at it and doing even better.

  • if it was for that stuped bass it would sound good..4/5

    stars

  • He is the great john Petrucci My favorit guitariste for all time !

  • Cool

  • I wonder if John Petrucci does the music for the weather channel...

  • are u musician?? if you re , i think u would be really bad because im and can compore the 2 musician and petrucci is better in technique

  • guarda se tu mi dici che petrucci è tecnicamente migliore di malmsteen sei davvero fuori!se sei un buon chitarrista spiegami le motivazioni perche ritieni tecnicamente petrucci di malmsteen,sono davvero curioso!

  • speak english. en plus tu compren rien, apren a jouer dla music et on vera

  • Si tu cherche à te démarquer parce que "toi tu sais jouer de la musique", juge sur la musique (composition), la musicalité (façon de l'interpréter), et non sur la vélocité ou difficulté du jeu. Utiliser la technique comme seul élément de comparaison est une preuve de mauvais goût.

    Ton français laisse un peu à désirer... (e
