Dream Theater - As I Am Solo (Stephen Platt of Collibus)

[rockurheart1]

i think my mind just exploded

[AbledHands1O1]

Now you should make a lesson for this

[xDannyDeathcorex]

is there a big difference between the rg1527 and the rg7621?

[Arvobravo]

@xDannyDeathcorex Not really except for one has a trem and one is a fixed bridge. The neck is a little different and I prefer the RG1527 but they are both great guitars

[xDannyDeathcorex]

@Arvobravo ah thanks man! i have an rg7621 with evolutions in it.. sounds amazing! I'm going to get the rg1527 in royal blue while I can still get it.. I'm not sure which pickups I'll slam in it.. I'm considering a Dimarzio x2n and blackouts. you have blackouts in your rg1527 right? what's your experience?

oh and btw do you guys already have an album? I want to be the first one to buy one!!!:D

[Arvobravo]

@xDannyDeathcorex Yep i have Blackouts, to be honest I used to be a passive pickup fan, still am in a way but something about the Blackouts makes it feel like i'm using passive pickups feel wise but obviously they are active. Mainly got them because i wanted tone consistency between my RG1527 and RG2228 as i put blackouts in that also and got rid of the damn EMG 808's which was in it. Vast improvement to the EMGs but i'm really enjoying the tone i get with the blackouts.

[someguitarist69]

great cover.good job.

[nickwellings]

Yep. Yep. You're awesome. A totally perfect cover. Totally damn perfect.

[AbledHands1O1]

@nickwellings So true dude!

[ilikGuacomole]

wow, just plain amazing, ive been trying to find an actual GOOD cover of this for awhile, i learn by ear and by watching other people play. so i use youtube as a teaching device lol....unfortunatly, he nailed it sooooo well.......his fingers are just blurs on my computer screen :P

[picklevai16]

hey if anybody wants, I have a cover of this solo as well on my profile. just trying to get a few views so let me know what you think

[cortx2lh]

Hell yeah man! You've got perfectly the Petrucci's way of play. Perfect techinique and feeling.

[AbledHands1O1]

@cortx2lh Damn! I'm jealous...

[ponypoket89]

[YtubeHatersInc]

[caiocorrea88]

[DisasterPiece1991]

Amazing :o 5 stars! Wish i could play like that.

[JEmrys777]

FUCKING SICK DUDE!!!!!

Awesome

[tyblair18]

wow. what key or mode were you doing your improv in? cuz it was awesome

[Testament2222]

excellent, better than that jaqueline mannering retard, shes shit

did you use the official train of thought tab book for this???

i've been tryig it, but when it gets to the groupings of 7 or 5 i fuck up big time (0:27 to about 0:34)

[Arvobravo]

Cheers, and nope i don't have the tab book or use tab. I use my ears to learn as i have perfect pitch, something i've done since i started playing really.

[taylor122]

@Arvobravo whata loadda shit lol!! guitar pro more like

[AbledHands1O1]

@taylor122 Did you get the tabs at guitar pro? that's what you mean?

[chadsenters00]

Master of guitar rite there!! =]

[ArikAizen]

nice dude

you are realy good i cant play that solo at all

[AMartins92]

ahhhha AWESOME! And awesome improvisation at the end :O xD

[lugerman]

I'm jealous, I really am. I'm learning this at the moment and I'm having to use TAB... I don't know how you guys do it by ear, I really don't.

But, maybe I just need lessons or something...

That's the 7621 right? I miss mine...

[Naavariel]

God!

[engendrox]

Arvobravo great job, nice performance but time to do laundry... =P

[greatguitarist0gig]

wow! you are almost John Petrucci.

[ssjfulkon198]

Fantastic job, dude. I may also have perfect pitch, although I cannot be sure... o.o

None the less, you are almost in perfect sync with the song, and that is hard to do consistently. Also, nice improv at the end... :P

You should recover this and make yourself stand out a bit more... it would be twice as amazing. :D

[JRTET21]

Why's there cloth on your tv?

[Arvobravo]

it was just there at the time when i did the video, i do clean haha

[junkyjuice21]

Do you have perfect pitch? Like you hear things and know exactly what note it is?

[Arvobravo]

Luckily yep i do have perfect pitch, had it since i was a kid as the only thing i could do was learn by ear since i couldn't buy books, and back then i didn't know what the internet was haha. Realized i had it when i took up piano.

[Chrelizorter]

"hello im a cloth"

HAHAH

..BADASS SOLO MAN!

You RULE!

[Arvobravo]

haha :)

Cheers!

[marmarpantou]

bravo man exelent...tell me something do you know were i can find that tab??

[Arvobravo]

Cheers, no tab sorry, i use my ears to learn things

[adrenalynejunky]

o_0 WHAT THA HELLLLLLLLL MAN no fucking way xDDDD kep rocking man ^^

[Arvobravo]

Cheers :)

[FoxieFruitcake]

[europunk93]

[uberkikibear]

[chillafusion]

that was probably as close to perfect as anyone's going to get on this solo... hahah cheers

[27Seth27]

muito bom cara!

parabens mesmo.

aquele final ali, ficou demais.

[stresspill7]

motherfucker

that was so damn tight i thought you were miming at first haha!

sick (Y)

[kospfogo]

until 8 years of my son plays better than that of such JOHN PETRUCCI

[brandon5pennies]

if you're saying your sons better than jp then you're crazy there are better dudes than him but i highly doubt that i could have misinterpreted what you said and if so i'm sorry

[Arvobravo]

I never understood that comment myself either haha

[scaasi]

I think he's either saying his 8 year old son plays better than JOHN PETRUCCI OR his 8 year old son IS John Petrucci

(My Engrish is good)

[NitroRecords450]

nice video. i though for a long time that as i am was played on a 7 string, but its clear that its in c (quite an intense drop in tuning) thanks for post

[kengurukeke]

Thought VH100R couldn't do metal stuff so well but after watching your videos I'm impressed :P

[Dazsturbed]

Damn I love your tone, and you got some mad skills going on.

[e1337air]

whooooop one of the best as i cam solo covers on youtube! u really nailed it! solid guitar skills O_O

[Bygde]

AWESOME!

[1treyton1]

Damn good job.

[Arvobravo]

Cheers

[JCRx45]

theres always a particular sound to perfect unison that was incredible

[ShredCrazy]

About time someone nailed this solo!! You have shitty ass wannabe players get mad props and hits, while kick ass players such as yourself dont get the attention you deserve.

Sex sells homey...put on a dress, you'll get massive attention then. LOL

GREAT PLAYING!!!!!!!!!!!

[Arvobravo]

lol a dress!

I think i'll pass with the dress idea haha.

[SnailsBand]

That's perfect!

The first I see playing it exactly like Petrucci

GZ!

[yabaguitar]

wow man!!! u are great, the last part is so awesome!!!

[Travelershockey5]

dude

fuckin awesome playing

those have to be dimarzios.

[Arvobravo]

Hey cheers, they are indeed dimarzio.

[drdre37]

You sir, are amazing! And just curious, was that little part at the end something John does live, or just your own little addition? Either way, it makes me love it that much more then the album version!!!

[Arvobravo]

Cheers :)

Was just something i added to show that i was playing along haha

[deathmetaliscool]

Oh, and is it a high gain amp?

[Arvobravo]

Is what a high gain amp? I used a Pod XT Pro for the video

[Rhoads93]

Awesome! This has always been one of my favorite solos! John Petrucci Rules, also liked the stuff you added at the end

[DeathBringer769]

Dude your tone is like the exact same as Petrucci.

[borishnakoff]

you are god! that was awsome

[Arvobravo]

I'm not god! Petrucci is ahaha.

cheers though :)

[LightOfTruth777]

nice! how many guitars do you have?

[drawnacrol]

flawless

[Arvobravo]

Cheers :)

[xXxbatcountryxXx]

you're the most underrated guitarist ive ever seen O_O

get out there and do some gigging, get endorsed, signed, then ill see you at G3

[Arvobravo]

lol Cheers

[xisengrinx]

but

ur name is bat country... Synyster fan?

if yes : fuck you.

if no : God Bless, have a nice day.

[syntheticalnothing]

Which song is the Loomis lick from!!???

Fucking spot on dude.

[Arvobravo]

Cheers but what Loomis lick? lol

[deathmetaliscool]

I think he means that from 0:52 till the end sounds a bit like loomis. And it's true lol goood job anyway. Is this amp good also for riffing? I like the leads very much

[syntheticalnothing]

Yeah! 55 seconds in! I keep trying to work it out, but I fail.

[alfie987654321]

the bit you add makes the solo better

[scaasi]

I especially like the part where you slid off the fretboard at the end.

The other parts were rather sweet too.

[MegaReece]

nice solo dude you really nailed that, well done!

:)

[Michielvdwerff]

Three hooray's for Stephen Platt the Great!

[banthedrummer]

WOW

KILLER STUFF MAN!!!

[Arvobravo]

cheers :)
