John Petrucci - Lines in the Sand Guitar Solo

[zirreall]

All of Mr. Petrucci's technical skill would be nothing without his evident love for music!

[prographaeL]

There is this show on DVD ?

[GeeorgeBeeedle]

1 million likes, good.

[xabiertxo42]

0:43 does portnoy hit himself??

[Jemerick95]

@xabiertxo42 I'm pretty sure he does you know lmao

[reventonfloyd]

nobody can deny it... this is one of the greatest solo of ALL TIME!!!!

[jonathan1234ish]

that is what i call a solo :X

[flipedup]

lol labrie in the back with his tambourine hahahahahahahaha, nonetheless, godly solo by petrucci

[sergitogibson]

jesus petrucci!! god of the guitar!! lord of metal!!

[culodegrasa]

I can't believe this sound, I have no words to describe it. I wish some they I'll play like him

[firks1991]

why are there always dicks commenting. if you don't like how a guitarist plays then don't watch the videos....

i don't know how people can't like petrucci though. he's one of the best guitarists in his field.

he's versatile too. just because his band plays in a certain style doesn't mean that all he can play

[MrJackSparra]

For the people who think petrucci is a machine, they just don't have the brain capacity to hear the tiny things he adds everytime. The notes are perfectly on but he throws random fun stuff in between.

[Essacep]

This guy is a complete machine, no feeling, no tone, no chops, no phrasing, no control and at best 'decent' alternate picking. LOL.. guys guys guys

[Cyrsis13145]

@Essacep oh god..you don't know what are you saying :)

[Essacep]

@Cyrsis13145

[Metlahaed]

@Cyrsis13145 he's obviously joking.

[Firedblood]

@Essacep Lol you sir really don't know what your talking about.

[toolfan92]

@Essacep trololololololotroll

[DWDrums123123]

@Essacep Seriously dude my favorite guitarist is the guy from the jonas brothers, he rips so hard! LOL



[Schmorgasblab]

great solo. it would be nice to see more of john playing it, drums are cool and all but come on man.

[avidmoviefan]

Guys, if you Google "snaredrum110" over 1000 hits come back with this guy being a psycho super troll. Thumb this up so everyone can know to ignore him.

[snaredrum110]

John McLauglin and Alan Holdsworth shit in the toilet this turd got buffed up so that he couldn't be flushed but should be in..

[snaredrum110]

Someone donate this chumpy souless asswipe of a guitarist a pair of gonads please!!!!

[avidmoviefan]

@snaredrum110 Hey! Since you liked my tornado video i the desert why don't you check out what really do for a living, go to facebook user page "1234freakthis" or type in Freak A Holic. For everyone else, ignore this guy I looked into him he is known as being the most EPIC youtube troll ever, check his channel. I had to block him fomr my page because he is very stalker-ish, maybe needs his meds.

[redhood977]

this guy is enjoying his job!! good for him!

[alex16foamy]

1:28 Best annotations I've ever seen.

[DreamTheaterisGod1]

labrie is rocking that tambourine

[phillips29]

johns music is like a dream.. love love love it!!! :)

thank you for givin us Guitar music with a spark..........

[popalltheway]

@snaredrum110 playing music is one thing. JP plays music. Tosin is a robot, he sits there trying to play guitar in the most complex way. That's not music, but demonstration of skill. And you're saying JP cant handle a 6 string guitar? Lol? He's in the top 10 of greatest shredders of all time. He is very skilled. Grow up.

[popalltheway]

@snaredrum110 Obviously you know nothing of music. You're an amateur, possibly a little kid. Your opinion isn't worth shit. It's against all logic. I'm done arguing with an ignorant prick. Now go wank off to a Tosin video.

[MrMoterhed]

sanredum110.......I think everyone should see things from your point of view. The only problem is they can't fit their heads up their asses. FAIL AGAIN LOSER!!!!

[BUONAVI8]

This is how every solo should be.

[snaredrum110]

Is this overated water filler weak armed skank player still on Youtube?? hahahah. Tosin Abasi smokes John like the dickweed that he really always was..

[cliffspc]

@snaredrum110 I can confidently say that the vast majority of people here on YT are fed up with your blowhard bullshit. Even the 13yr and 14yr old kids you like to harass so much are calling you out as a complete fraud.

Upload something, or Hero is forever your legacy on YT

watch?v=MpKqlmAFSic

watch?v=f7FT7ZvNtag

[MudTide1993]

@snaredrum110 I love Tosin. With that said, he doesn't put half the emotion or feel in John does. They're two entirely different players with entirely different styles, and I don't even see what the comparison is here. Grow up and enjoy the music

[snaredrum110]

@MudTide1993 I hear Tosin toilet flushing Petrucci down the drain again......

[MudTide1993]

@snaredrum110 trollolol

[cliffspc]

@snaredrum110 = janitor man

all you hear all day long is toilets flushing...ROFL:)

[goodygoody23]

@snaredrum110 Wow, multiple accounts? Remember when you stalked my profile? I can't imagine what it's like to have a life as empty as yours.

[snaredrum110]

@goodygoody23 I only have one account.prove otherwise bitch. Who are you again? I'll just have to make your life miserable now since you stalked and libeled me. Sweet!!!!

[goodygoody23]

@snaredrum110 It's not stalking if we're talking through a public forum...you sent me a personal message which qualifies.

[snaredrum110]

@goodygoody23 Quit asking me out for gay sex faggot. I'm not gay.

[Kevegeta7]

@snaredrumhating Tosin Abasi actually acknowledges Petrucci as a 'huge influence' at about 7 minutes through this interview:

watch?v=qHuzjbxDyrI

[yaxowx]

@snaredrum110 all i can say is fuck you man. i know people have different opinions on music and shit but fuck you. Petrucci is a genius, and i am in no sense some dream theater fan boy, but the fact that you can't even acknowledge that he's atleast a great player and call im 'old technology' while saying Gilmour, Page, and Blackmore are better is fucking retarded. I love Tosin Abasi but in term of 'soul', i'd say Petrucci has way more style and isn't as spastic as Tosin.

[snaredrum110]

@yaxowx Petrucci isn't even good old technology. Anyonr who can't play good blues might as well sell thier guitar..

[yaxowx]

@snaredrum110 lol what? you're saying anyone who doesn't play blues or play blues well shouldn't play guitar at all? something tells me you dont play guitar, or at least have a drastically shallow knowledge of the instrument.

[snaredrum110]

@yaxowx Obviiously you or Petrucci can't play blues. So you shred like 50million other jerkoffs in here. Fail

Jimmy Page shits on all of you..

[yaxowx]

@snaredrum110 So you're basically saying that blues is the end all, be all genre of guitar playing, but you site Jimmy Page as some great blues player? If you think Jimmy is a definitive blues player then you know FUCK all about blues. I don't have nearly as big of a hard on for blues as you seem to, and you obviously know much less about it. All you're really doing is naming some guitar players that you think are better than him and then concluding that because of this he's a shitty player.

[snaredrum110]

@yaxowx Listen to since I've been loving you recorded version. Tell some one that isn't the best blues guitar solo ever and you will be a liar..You can't play shit it's obvious..Putriducci shred tard wannabe asshat is your name. hahahahahahaha

[yaxowx]

@snaredrum110 You coming up with "Putriducci" is probably the smartest and most creative thing you've ever said. I really dont care if Jimmy Page is a better player or if there are thousands of better players than John, that doesn't mean he's a shitty guitar player. Obviously im not going to change your opinion that blues is the greatest music ever and nobody is better than Jimmy Page but maybe you'll learn that for yourself as you get older, maybe as early as 14 years old if you're lucky.

[snaredrum110]

@yaxowx Hendrix is a better blues player. So is Gary Moore.

[avidmoviefan]

@snaredrum110 ummm I have a bachelors in guitar performance. Jimmy Page plays pentatonic scales - which uneducated people think is the same as the blues - it's not. Page could write like a champ - respect him for that - but it's widely known that he is incredibly sloppy, he even admits this himself. John Petrucci is considered to be one of the most technically proficent guitarists on the planet. This is a rock solo, not blues. You do sound like you are just reading dads record collection.

[snaredrum110]

@avidmoviefan Get back to someone when anything putriducci does sells as many wonderful songs as "sloppy" jimmy page . Ok champ. end of transmission

[snaredrum110]

@avidmoviefan You also have a student loan you'll never pay back from music either chumpy..hahahahaha

[avidmoviefan]

@snaredrum110 Actually, I am the producer of a comic book/cartoon for Adult Swim called 'The Freak A Holic' and "A Comic Book Artists Guide To Sergio Aragones" and the "Wayward Traveler" series. My loans are paid off, but thatnks for your concern. Also, you can Google me, or check urban dictionary for "Wayward Traveler" or you can but a copy of Freak A Holic at Wondercon this year. Jimmy Page was sloppy, even he sais so himself. You, are an asshole. Find something better to do.

[snaredrum110]

@avidmoviefan It takes slop to make great music. Tell faggot john to learn some genius slop like Jimmy. Then maybe somebody will actully buy one of his records. Ok cartoon boy?

[Metalfooll]

@avidmoviefan Totaly agree with you. That bugs me how some poeple cant hear how sloppy some guitarist are just because theyre popular! I love Page and he whrote some awsome stuff but to compare him ''technicaly'' to Petrucci is a joke.

[petruccinorway]

2:07 : Vibrato for your life!!

[mimissabaziotis]

thats why portnoy left the band... cause he thought that theater=portnoy....

[matthieu71]

i tried this and share it on youtube and I find his old guitar is maybe a bit better to play this solo; what do you think?

[TheMindfulOne]

Since I just melted the faces off everyone i guess it's time to go home

[instrumentalist28]

cooooommmeee home to ibanez!!! drop that zero n get with hero yo!!!

[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)))

[sonyskymaster]

can some one tell me how i can get that tone?

anybody?

please?...

[TSchellhous]

I love Mike, but now that he's gone and no longer doing all the film editing himself, maybe their videos will show the actual guitarist during the guitar solos

[FoxWBogart]

Portnoy doesn't play the drums, he sodomizes them XD

[GuillermoSmyser]

When James says "John Petrucci on guitar!" it's not cause he thinks we don't know who that is but because he knows our jaws are on the floor. What he is really saying "It's time to clap and cheer now my little Dream Monkeys!"

[tehatemachine]

THIS VIDEO DESERVES MORE VIEWS.

[ChewbaccaFetus]

this solo makes me cry tears of joy, its....just....too...epic.

[1iiiiillllliiiii1]

This solo makes the face red of any critic John may have.

[slaQ83]

I can't get over the fact that the recommended video 'shredding' by jacqueline92 has almost 7 times the views of this clip. And her guitar playing is absolutely horrid.

[Peow42]

I want that JP7 so bad. Just watching it looks like it plays so incredibly smooth.

[avenegedslaterfold]

@Peow42 You do know that this is his ibanez here... not his EBMM JP7 guitar right? Unless im mistaken.

[amathew711]

theres something about his playing that seems so..sterile..so clinical. i hate that every fucking note is perfect..i wish he was like portnoy, just more chill..

[goodygoody23]

Petrucci is huge

[markoantonio0816]

i miss portnoy

[macnj53]

My favorite song of DT....and a great album

[jadrummer110]

Hey JP.. Tosin' is out playing clubs. What are you doing besides blowing him daily?

[conterooski]

this solo was playing in the background when jesus was born.

[Shamik2009]

Hey you shit maggots........if u dont like music that's another thing.....but don't ......please for God's sake don't post such stupid comments.........

[jadrummer110]

Hey JP.. Tosin Abasi will be stopping by for his daily blowjob bitch..

[solidDEMON]

@jadrummer110 I you were a true fan of Tosin you would know that John Petrucci was one of his greatest influences.

[jadrummer110]

@solidDEMON Tosin thanked him and blew dust all over him after he blew JP's doors off. Tosin has actually made JP and his prehistoric styling a thing of the past. Good bye and good riddance JP. DT sucked before with Mike and it certainly didn't get better even thougfh Mangini makes Portnoy look like an absolute beginner. On ward and upward and Jp and DT don;t have a ticket to go anywhere. hahahahahahahaha

[solidDEMON]

@jadrummer110 You're hilarious dude but I disagree :)

[jadrummer110]

@solidDEMON Whatever. Enjoy your forever cult band....Tool shits on DT for musicianship anyway...Tool= ultimate cult I;m just ecstatic to know that I can turn on a radio anytime anywhere and not have to be assaulted with audio pollution from DT...never will happen. See there is a God..

[solidDEMON]

@jadrummer110 Okay, I like what I like I guess. Tool is good too, I do enjoy the variety in DT a little more though :) I'm not into treating bands like cults though.

[jadrummer110]

@solidDEMON Ok cool . Whatever.

[VioletFox19]

@jadrummer110 Lol if there was a god, he would've chewed your fingers off so that you couldn't type that bullshit. I hope John Petrucci crushes your head in between his enormous bicep.

[jadrummer110]

@VioletFox19 Is John still even alive? I thought he committed suicide after Tosin Abasi shit on his face publicly?

[jadrummer110]

Fuck all you fags that think this JP dude is good. He sucks camel balls.

[TheKushbaz]

Why the HELL the drummer is all over this video?!!??

[Xiacro]

@TheKushbaz this video is from Mike Portnoy's DVD, that's why :P

[jadrummer110]

They still let skank guitarists like Petrucci play on Youtube?

[kazetehskylord]

@jadrummer110 they still let trolls like you post in comment sections?

[jadrummer110]

@kazetehskylord Free speech covers me. What is in the constitution about noise pollution rights? Nothing? That's right.. They have no rights

[kazetehskylord]

@jadrummer110 Can't see why you're watching something you don't like.

[jadrummer110]

@kazetehskylord Mute button always on. Almost gag reflex when i see that skank water buffalo with those weak water filled arms. But someone has to tell you twerps that your hero just ain't shit..

[kazetehskylord]

@jadrummer110 Well, I might as well notify you it's not working. We still love Petrucci. And Portnoy. And Mangini, Myung, LaBrie and Rudess. You're wasting your time.

[jadrummer110]

@kazetehskylord At least I know that I'm turning some maybe would be fans away. That means get used to my mission accomplished goodwill towards men deeds. Dig?

[kazetehskylord]

@jadrummer110 Nope. No one. Let people like what they want to. I hate Justin Bieber, but I don't bash on people that like him.

[jadrummer110]

@kazetehskylord I'm not bashing anyone but the skankass band known as DT. BTW I'm sure they will be alot better with mangini at least. he's truly a great drummer. Mike is mediocre.

[kazetehskylord]

@jadrummer110 Meh, I like Mike.

[71GA]

@jadrummer110 OMG stupidity on 100%

[jadrummer110]

@71GA Is there anyone more cowardly than an asswipe that doesn't have a channel like your pathetic ass?

[71GA]

@jadrummer110 Better to not have a channel than have a stupid channel like yours. I have a webpage + a blogspot, that is enough :)

[jadrummer110]

@71GA You don't have shit but a little aids infected dick faggot.

[71GA]

@jadrummer110 Well... write down 71GA blogspot and check my blog if it is soo hard to believe for you... You are embarrasing yourself with this anti Petrucci campain. It wont work.

[jadrummer110]

@71GA You're link didn't work to yuor page. Big surprise..

[Leiarh777]

@jadrummer110 And who is a good guitarist to you ?

[MrWet207]

i didn't know mike portnoy could play guitar on the drums

[ibanezplyr42]

Petrucci was a better musician on his Ibanez, he used to play over the entire neck, it used to be a canvas, not anymore :(

[weischamp]

@ibanezplyr42 youre so fuckin´ right...

[virgoptrex]

I ROFLed when he said JP on guitar people! we all know that!

[IgorUptheIrons]

Portnoy <3

[MrMikeg72]

He's always amazing!

[SticksNstones111]

not a fan of this dude to much soloing for me but i do like this solo at the start fuckn cool

[stevegrierson]

Why did he get rid of his Ibanez endorsement. That guitar was superb.

[Fluffypopcicle]

@stevegrierson

They were too obsessed with their Wizard necks. Well, that's what I heard. His Music Man guitars sound better anyways.

[guysullavin]

@Fluffypopcicle I'd kill for an Ibanez JPM over a EBMM that JP has nowadays. The EBMM just sounds too metal-y over this gorgeous soul.

[thepauperkings]

@Xaldin003 You mean James LaBrie...?

[GuitarSili]

One of his greatest solo...

[wldntknow]

Go drummer!

[massicotted]

JP at the time his guitars still looked cool

[archiedawg]

@massicotted who cares what his guitar looks like

[AyanelDv]

@massicotted His Guitar always will be looking good. :(

[WuzzMcWaffleStein]

happy birthday

[danyangelobatio]

84 people doesnt understand music!

[MrProgfather]

Happy Birthday Johnny Boy. :D

[Echapify]

I love Mike..but why are we watching him for half the video?

[AeroMetalMoe]

@Echapify

because this is part of a drum instructional video mike did on dvd.

[Echapify]

@AeroMetalMoe Oh, I see.

[daega17]

the 2nd jesus has finally come....

[BeavisNacho]

cuts off right before the solo :-)



[gnzalp]

q grandeeeeeee!!!!!

[ShootingStarsBand]

we are not woried about ya mike!!!!!!! of course we aren't!!!!!! :P

[ludofeeling]

do you know what dvd is? i've got 5 years in a live time, but there's no ''lines in the sand'' in the dvd, maybe is the same live concert...

[SomethingWild9608]

@ludofeeling It's off of one of MP's instructional DVD's: Liquid Drum Theater. That's also why it's so focused on Mike.

[eaktb400]

best solo.....gooddddddddddd

[clutchac]

I miss MP.



[HYPERDISTORTED]

ok, i didn't come here to watch portnoy O.o

[TheShotDoc]

lol after 1:44 it looks like he's having a tantrum and just waving his arms about like he cant be arsed anymore yet making awesomeness that causes eargasms still :D

[freminick123]

Labrie specify each time that it is john petrucci who play this solo because the people can be confuse, they think that he is jesus christ.

[elektronet]

İnsan işi değil yaa, Çok iyi

Perfect !!

[math1st]

thumbs up if u miss THAT petrucci, long hair. badass ibanez. epic solos

[tehatemachine]

Guys, Jesus ALREADY has returned! and he's been working miracles since the 1980's!

[firedrake0]

he is looking like rob balducci a little bit here

[KirbyOnCronic]

Best Solo Ever? Really?

[sportsportsport]

Too much footage of portnoy! but then again, he does make a lot of the decisions when it comes to creative control.

[avenegedslaterfold]

@sportsportsport I think (but im not 100% sure) this clip is off a Portnoy DvD... so that's why it has loads of Portnoy shots. I could be wrong though.

[ScopperloitOfficial]

@avenegedslaterfold You're correct, it's off a Portnoy DVD.

[unicron000]

Really does remind me of some Pink Floyd stuff.. in the best possible way =D f@#$g EPIC!

[oxymor0n1]

yes! Best Solo Ever!

[Malikuniversotomb]

One of the best guitar solo ever made in human history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
