John Petrucci - Wishful Thinking (Demonstration)

[zazajojua]

here he looks like a human from earth,not like terminator who was sent to kick chuck norris's ass... :D

[trasmusen2]

My friend just got an autograph from him :D

[MlKEPORNTOY]

I banged Petrucci's wife with no remorse, second thought, or condom.

[yudhy151]

gitar nya merdu..

[xXxXxXDJwiiXxXxXx]

Even being the demostration, it's AMAZING!1

[kustriani]

I don't know why, but this song reminds of the jurassic park

[TheSonsofHorusx]

i like his hair the best like that lol

[MichaelsPortraits]

This is possibly the most pathetic thing I have ever heard , Petrucci trying to play with emotion he doesn't have , its painful to listen to this Bubble gum shit!

[andreasxify]

@MichaelsPortraits just like you`re the only people who understand bout musix.

[xshold]

Wow he sucks !

[MichaelsPortraits]

THIS SUCKS BIG TIME ....Ill tell you what , ... Right now go Listen to the Andy Timmon's song RESOLUTION if you want to hear what real beautiful guitar playing sounds like ....petrucci needs to go back to playing his boring hyper speed minor scales instead of trying to play with the emotion he does not have !!!!!!!!!!!!!....

[Merceauroix]

@MichaelsPortraits fuck you, miss Daisy

[SixxStringDream]

@MichaelsPortraits ...Taste is subjective , some of us may like this , I looked at your channel and I will admit you are a phenomenal guitar player but that doesn't necessarily mean John sucks...keep it respectful man!

[Vintagestratman57]

@MichaelsPortraits ......Thats your own shitty opinion although I must honestly say you are a talented guitarist after seeing your tube page for the first time ,maybee you should listen to some of Petruccis other stuff .

[opprexor]

justin bieber 4 ever

[opprexor]

Petrucci clown

[verdonizetti]

very nice

[MichaelsPortraits]

I will be honest with you joel , Im not a huge Justin Beieber fan ...lmao....listen guy ....if you really want to hear a shred type guitarist that can actually phrase with some emotion ....check out guthrie govan , puts this guy to shame

[MrRC1992]

@MichaelsPortraits Dude, do you have sand in your vagina? You're complaining like a little girl.

[MichaelsPortraits]

sounds like music for a tampon commercial

[MichaelsPortraits]

THE CONCEPT OF PETRUCCI PLAYING ANYTHING THAT DOESNT SOUND LIKE CRAP IS WISHFUL THINKING INDEED.......THIS REALLLYYYYYY SUCKS BEYOND MEASURE

[JoelRorsethOfficial]

@MichaelsPortraits why don't you stfu with your jackass comments, and let others enjoy the video without having to read your spam. petrucci is a legend. if you think his music "sounds like crap", then maybe justin bieber is a better option for you

[MichaelsPortraits]

Perhaps the only thing worse than this jackass doing his emotionless shredding is when he plays a lame kindergarten melody like this , even that stupid Top Gun movie melody is better than this.......painful man

[letsgobebygone]

FIXED ANGEL :(

[lycanoify]

única esta rola

[tonliferj]

PARECE MUSICA SERTANEJA AKAKAK

[Diegou28]

I see some pinky anchor right there! :3

[abscond2]

I wrote a very Petrucci, Steve Vai and Joe Satriani - inspired song, just search "Matt Marrapodi" the song is called, "Floor It" I hope you enjoy it

[loganator2112]

perfect score for a tribute video!

[MADEINMAIDEN]

@ 0:32 JOE SATRIANI ENTERS :)

[Kostas1601]

[edwrlog]

[Kostas1601]

@edwrlog ????? I'd wish you the same but assuming you don't have a life you can't die lol

[SophK08]

only JP would be able to write an instrumental song with lyrics

[hector89910]

bad sound quality....

[TheTabulater]

Is that a six or seven string he's playing?

[sgchild995]

@TheTabulater It's a six-string Musicman guitar

[kilie99]

Although Petrucci's lost his big biceps , his skills still rules !!



[alkleiza1995]

I actually wrote this

[camibelen90]

he is the best!!!!

[MlKEPORNTOY]

JP speeds up his solos in Audacity. Mike Portnoy was the only talented member of Dream Theater.

[OliverTolman]

@MlKEPORNTOY Nice joke hahahaha

[macacodorado]

@MlKEPORNTOY LOL Mike.-porn-toy

[TimH1993]

@MlKEPORNTOY fuck that. xD

[chaotic13000]

best song of John Petrucci!!

[victorvital]

115 people are totally deaf for disliking such a masterpiece.....doesn't even have music in their nerves.....LOL!

[1027patrick]

I played this in the talent show in my school ..practiced hard and did my best but lost...as usual singers always win...Even though their into music.. guitarists must be given more recognition because this is the real talent..

[tudorjelescu]

Is there any1 else that thinks that from 0:22 sounds a bit like Hey Jude?

[TheUnheardNumberNine]

Come on John, you're allowed to smile - yes, you're awesome ;)

[50jofa]

GALLOWS HILL- FACE OUR FEAR

PROGRESSIVE SEPT 11 TRIBUTE. (warning, grephic pics) tells a story, music from my old band GALLOWS HILL (((not the other gallows hill bands on youtube)))

[brosiv12]

[ciccirocco]

pazza ideaaa di far l'amore con luiiiiiii ♫♫

[angelblue1912]

[stringslayer97]

[bernierfrancis]

[71GA]

[Alead666]

[VoidMuffin]

He`s ok you know , Tom Morello is a fucking legend. :)

[83tomgarner83]

Looks so much better with short hair!!!

[0311campbelljk]

switching to Mark V's must mean its mandatory to grow back your 80s mullet.....does anyone elese like the roadking sound bett than the marks im starting to regret my decision.

[bernierfrancis]

Is very good distortion ! Its that the electric music ! Since Joe satriani Love thing , Jonh pettruci State of grace - lines in the sand ..!

[alexandra16907]

This is going to be played at my wedding. Lol

[angelichev]

balsam for my crashed soul

[45ccd]

stole my last name.

[jarekad]

strongly influenced by Satch

[hevil100]

One of the most inspiring instrumental songs of all time. Easy to play, impossible to replicate 1:1

[drlepine1]

I think I'm in love.............



[FretBattles]

Who played the better solo, Eddie Van Halen or Jimi Hendrix? Great head-to-head comparison here:

/watch?v=Gf85d0fxiNw

[carobertwhelan]

@FretBattles Who cares? John Petrucci is playing.

[Hugomtl]

IM better in Mortal Kombat than Petrucci but on guitar.... :S

[SerratedAMG]

Why the hell isn't this album on itunes?

[ruudiee2]

@SerratedAMG

why the hell would you buy this album on itunes when you can buy the cd in a music store >_>

[Mucephei1000]

@ruudiee2 Or download it for free xD

[ruudiee2]

@Mucephei1000

yea but if you are a real fan you collect his stuff :P

atleast.. i collect CD's..

[Mucephei1000]

@ruudiee2 I'm a fan of petrucci, not a fan of warner bros music corp. and their worship to profit.

[ruudiee2]

@Mucephei1000

mhm isnt dream theater with road runner records?

i thought petrucci would be too.. :P

but i still collect cd's ;d so i buy em (not all ofcourse)

[lorisman68]

He is in the same category as satch man and Vai.

[malshadow75]

I love this man!!

[ruifmoreira3]

Someday i wanna be able to play half of what he plays.

He is one of my idols, and the best guitar player ever !

[Joethomas1547]

All you young rock guitarist, if you wanna be a shredder and rock guitarist do it like him!!! He shreds but has feeling and soul!!! No meaningless shred take some notes, good luck!!! :)

[tabotabojayar]

nahhh...it's not important to look good for him...he's a musician not a fashion icon... he can be whatever he wants to be...

[usialalalala3201]

nice

[Nickdiaublow]

This is the best look JP had in my opinion. lol but it doesnt matter he's still awesome on guitqr

[elok92]

@Nickdiaublow Lad, that is The True! It realy is important for person to look good... 1. Guitar master, 2. Nice looking guy

[SolSilence]

@Nickdiaublow Reminds me of the singer from soundgarden XD

[frankfernandez50]

PIENSA ENMI: ES DECIR QUE ESTE TIPO ES MENDIGO DE AMOR¡¡¡ MMM ESTA MELODIA TRANQUI ME DICE TODO, LAS DEMAS SON CHISTES¡¡¡

[shlemaXXX]

Can you see dual recto? where is the mark when its need

[champ9327]

สุดยอดเลยหวะ

[manoloca100]

Que bueno es el tronco este!!!

[jpaulom]

I'm the 3006th! D:

[MrRichardNoggin]

im a huge petrucci fan and dt for that matter, yet im also into heavier stuff, and i dont know why everyone thumbs upped that top comment because it makes no sense...... this is how distortion should be used..... IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE YES crunchy heavy distortion would OBVIOUSLY sound like shit for a song like this, but if the song calls for heavy distortion than it should be used hahahha.

[MalfiRaggraClan]

I"m 3000'th person who like it! :D

[AymanKing2008]

High techniques with great tunes

It would be an honor if rockers like you guys visit

myspace /aymankhalifa

or facebook page facebook /aymankhalifamusic

this is my music, would like to know how do you see my music

Thanks guys and keep rockin \m/

[jaypi890]

@nastypiece00 could be those action-romantic japanese games, i think..........

[BeatsNKarats]

@ blueshade....what do you mean?? distorition how? on the pedals?

[protogenix]

the fun stops at 2:17 =(

[ThePhilosopher1996]

@blueshade26

This is how guitar should be used.

[nastypiece00]

sounds like some music for some japanese super-nintendo game

[lollointer94]

the slide and the palmute are really fucking awensome !!! great technique and emotion !!!



[hellraiser7974]

why the best guitar players in the world play the guitars with bolt on necks??

[MyLifeChanger]

@hellraiser7974 what do you mean? different feel, different sound, different vibe...

[xDannyDeathcorex]

@hellraiser7974 hahaha that's a fact.. Yngwie, steve vai, satriani, petrucci, gilbert. The best solo guitarists in the world and they play bolt on necks.. 

[xJan008x]

@hellraiser7974

better for metal because they sound tighter and less flubby :)

[daradidam]

@hellraiser7974 different feel and easier maintenance... it does differs tone-wise from other neck type..

hell, gilbert can tell the difference between a block bolt-on joint and an all-access neck joint tone-wise on his guitars.. which is very slight, most guitarist (incl. me) can't even tell the difference..

[VonAyuma21]

aus to simple lang pero quality pumiga delikado haha

[lslboss]

feeling less but technical well, just another from the mountain of trick players but not really musician

[skaterallbee10]

please check out my cover of Buckethead's Big Sur Moon! Im aspiring to become a well-known musician myself and your critizism is the biggest step to my dream of success!

[09jezer]

de lo peor pesado :D



[wholesomertime]

my bestfriend's favorite.... sumalangit nawa si Maki kun!

[joejosem]

kee barbarooooooo



[Lucio7773]

Yes, he is

[YouBelongToTheDead]

sounds like christian music, cheesy bullshit, hes a great guitarist but wtf is this shite, and how is this technical? at all? some gay ass ballad.

[TubeYouDVD]

@YouBelongToTheDead

u mad bro?

[EarthWormJim2008]

@YouBelongToTheDead Dude, Petrucci's deemed as one of the meanest shreaders ever. This solo clearly shows that he's not just about the shreading. I aint a guitarist, but I've been following rock music all my life, and as an avid rock fan, I absolutely love this. I can't obviously comment on technicality, but it's still an epic instrumental piece for any rock n roll fan. And besides, if U hear the whole track, he does do some pretty sick shreading in it, so this aint a gay-ass ballad at all.

[apathyandempathy]

how can something be so... emotional? and yet, remain so very technical? only petrucci. only petrucci.

[IlichL]

God creates 106 accounts because he can't plays this.

[tangypasta]

@IlichL in other words, petrucci created 106 accounts because he cant play this?

[MeleeRogue]

@IlichL ahahhahahahah :D



[Scopitone7]

Such a simple song yet still incredible. Almost every guitarist can play it, but not one could sound like him.

[megaleo247]

106 people are jealous of him.

[MrGara23]

i am sure that after a long time, petrucci will be ''studied'' the way mozart is today..what an artist..

[Tmusboy]

what a demonstration 

[AbledHands1O1]

This song is of my favorite song from his solo album called "Suspended Animation"

[romspryo]

Anyone esle almost got a seizure because of the fast camera angles?

[Guitarplayer22222]

Song was so good they had to play it twice.

[t1mel1ne]

he looks healthier here :P

[5amuu]

@t1mel1ne skinnier you mean, he's buff as hell nowadays

[astranir]

dont flame the camera man.. i would be shaking and not knowing what to do if i could be filming these hands of god in a human body

[15yngwie15]

great playing plus great tone equals great guitar player...

[MrWestdene1972]

looks like chris cornell !!

[TheGeek3110]

103 totally deaf people

[juandiego9427]

¿Is he God?.

[tehniggaboi]

@juandiego9427 If you search for "petrucci jesus" on google images you will find proof that he isnt god, but he is in fact god's son. gotta count for something

[VegaMaiden95]

@juandiego9427 he isn't god, he is john petrucci, creator of god and everything heavenly ;-)

[FRsleepwalker]

@juandiego9427 He can't walk on water, but he can play in Dream Theater, that's really more difficult.

[Nyhus1rn]

@juandiego9427

He sure is!

[rustcorpsickle1]

@juandiego9427 he is a dog hehe

[rarisgod]

@juandiego9427 Was the upside down question mark really necessary?

[4everownage]

@rarisgod in spanish grammar people put an upside down questioning mark in front of their questions :)

[jmdb1994]

@juandiego9427 Do you have doubts?

[minato392]

John petrucci is so fucken awesome with this song it was amazing that i was honored to learned now i know it perfectly and john just isnt like any other metal guitarist going to fast showing off he shows his classic rock influence in every song he plays and his bluesy touch like in this song its amazing

[TheCleanshave]

hmm, i prefer blues. beats everything.

[cowboy66757]

@TheCleanshave to say that a certain style of music "beats everything" is a very bold statement. Better, yet... a stupid one. music is music, there is no right or wrong or better or worse. As long as there is individuality, there will be different styles of music, so beat it with the elitist attitude.

[NickoTheGuitarist]

I swear i've heard John Mayer or someone similar play this melody somewhere...

[97pe]

ehhhhh...(slime)



[ekhoify]

so beautyfull song,,

[aaa567ify]

The 103 people who dislike guitar playing should find another topic to watch on U Tube. John Petrucci has a lot of talent plus his own sound. I believe he is pretty much self taught. His sound fills up the whole stage... along with the band.

[Matjex]

@bashoflord And you don't use grammar.

[blueshade26]

this is how distortion should be used

[phosphore222]

@blueshade26 yes yes of course i once use distortion and it was cool YEAH!

[IceWaterColdWater]

It's called Wishful Thinking because that is Petrucci's respond to us trying to play like him.

"Wishful Thinking , dude !"

[sahrizalart1]

thank" john..verry nice song,,,,

[fabiolone70]

chorus of: pazza idea di far l'amore con lui...(patty pravo 1973...)

[TheLtlpxru]

i will play this song when i get married soon yeaahh!!!

[TheGibsonhero]

@TheLtlpxru

Are you sure you're not experiencing some "Wishful thinking".

haha bad puns
