DREAM THEATER - Constant Motion - John Petrucci solo

[HappyAlice989]

1:15 and this is the part where your head blows.

[12345678907940gh]

even GOD makes mistakes

[nseal31]

Going to be honest...The editing in this video freaking sucked!!!

[ccalmus]

Noo shit... this one is way faster than on album

[showyurself]

epic solo is epic.

[Clearstarsummer]

remind me of yyz

[BUSHMANJOHN12]

@Clearstarsummer same scale

[Clearstarsummer]

@BUSHMANJOHN12 not just the scale. The technical play styles as well.

[MichaelsPortraits]

Petrucci has a nice tone , and clean technique , there just isn't any emotion or real phrasing in his playing . it just sounds like tired minor scales played strictly by the book ....my point is , ANYONE CAN PLAY LIKE HIM if they just sit down and run through scales all day , you need not have any imagination or talent! If this guy has ever played anything inspiring or unusual please post the link here and change my opinion!

[gnryeah]

@MichaelsPortraits What is "emotion" in music? Choosing to bend slowly over certain beats? That's generally very easy to do. He's more than capable of that, he plays technically because that's what he wants to do. Try the Razors Edge solo at the end of Octavarium. It's gorgeous.

[MichaelsPortraits]

@gnryeah Ok gn , I listened to the Razors Edge and it was really good , you could hear a lot of David Gilmour and plenty of what made Yngwie famous , I guess if you really love the harmonic minor scales inspired by JS Bach then this guy will move you ....as far as bending notes , developing a memorable vibrato is not easy but what really matters is note choice no matter how fast or slow you play!

[eimaiokalyteros]

@MichaelsPortraits Listen to "the spirit carries on"...

[julioreyram]

@MichaelsPortraits Ive see you in different videos of Jhon's solos, and i want to tell you something: It's dissapointing, you have shared the same idea 2 (or more) times, just like if you where hating, and the comments looked like sooo much. Jhon's music indeed has feeling, i can perfectly hear the motion of the "Constant motion"... I think you are slow enough to don't hear it. Go hear Hendrix's slow songs and stop trolling here, please...

[oumo]

@julioreyram ... John*

[julioreyram]

@oumo Thanks :)

[xIvalicex]

@MichaelsPortraits I think you should sit and listen to his solo album, suspended animation, buy the tab´s book, and she what MUSIC and EMOTION really is ;)! good luck!

[Fluffypopcicle]

@x3metallicrose41x

To be frankly honest, it just looks like he is tripping on shrooms to me.

[CrispyXR]

anyone else think the bass at the beginning is just awesome?? :D

[fragrenade1]

@CrispyXR That bass line, combined with Petrucci's solo straight afterwards made my head explode

[SebaChannel]

mike found the way to get the attention even when john petrucci is playing one of the greatest guitar solos from DT

[kakarottoalejandro]

yeah i like it, but sounds like war of joe satriani !! petrucci rocks !

[DEMON666DRUMMER]

@shreddybits hahahahahahaha thanks man it was really a statement not really a question but thanks anyway

[blackshadowbass]

Myung's tone sounds Geddy Lee-ish with that growl

[bucketfan4life]

I don't know if I was the only one that noticed or not but he threw in a Satch squeal at the end. ;]

[DEMON666DRUMMER]

HOW THE HELL DOES HE DO THAT SOUND AT 1:25

[shreddybits]

@DEMON666DRUMMER He's depressing the whammy bar first to get a full dive bomb, then he's slowly releasing the whammy back to pitch while playing pinch harmonics, and then pulling the bar up to make it squeal. In a similar vein to Dimebag (of Pantera) and his pigsqueal. But that's where you just play natural harmonics as you bend them up after dropping the pitch and grabbing them low.

[swilson3d]

@DEMON666DRUMMER that is called "natural harmonics". It's similar to pinch harmonics. What you don't see is that he is touching the string with the knuckle of his left hand to create the harmonic while simultaneously picking and bending the note with the tremelo.

[FRsleepwalker]

@swilson3d It's an artificial harmonic ...

[swilson3d]

@FRsleepwalker You may very well be right. They are really the exact same thing in effect.

[FRsleepwalker]

@swilson3d Nope. He is not touching anything with his left hand, it's exacty what Satch does all the time : Pinch harmonics on open G string.

It's not the same sound as a natural harmonic

[swilson3d]

@FRsleepwalker I mean in the sense that the low frequency vibrations are muted in the string and only the high-end vibrations remain. I am saying the effect is the same, not the cause. A similar sound could be achieved with either technique.

[ModulatedTesticle]

the guitars all like "wheres the sympathy at?"

[sigmartheczar]

At this point in his life he looked like a mix between Viggo Mortensen and Jesus.

[GuitarAndWow]

the bass line...Myung rules

[MrColon14]

@x3metallicrose41x So he's talking to Himself?

[mackx1066]

he looks like jesus.

[neinbanananein]

god is praying to Petrucci...



[pujolma]

Portnoy it's a fucking metronome.

[flipedup]

@pujolma i disagree... a metronome is quite lifeless, portnoy, on the other hand, is more of a fucking god :)

[1989Hammett]

Not to make others guitarists jealous, Petrucci played it with his fingers, but at the recording of the song he played the solo with his dick

[sweetsbro]

john doesn't like the video because he could play better

[MyDemo666]

as expressões faciais de John Petrucci lembram a de um bêbado.

[samguti18]

His facial expressions... it's like he's making love to that guitar.

[Tehtedzorz]

1 person expected to hear the singer

[MrOqlamz]

holly sht the bass is drivin me NUTS !!!

Myung owns

[cpuser37]

BLISTERIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIING!!!

[MrSmurfBoss]

people say that dave lombardo is one of the greatest drummers in metal. But even he can't compare to mike

[TheHornet79]

1:24 How did he do that?

[A7Xdrumcovers96]

@TheHornet79 He's John Petrucci... don't question!

[Zoury]

@TheHornet79 He's plays the note and pulls on the termolo bar. He does the same at the end of the Under a Glass Moon solo. We get to see it very well in this demo version : /watch?v=bVmq2C5kLoM

[TheDidiwolf34]

aww shit! the keyboard solo is cut

[mrbobbo666]

he's a madman... A MAAAAD MAAAAN

[TheHammersFall]

if you watch this video, you will be raped up the ass by petrucci and portnoy. but it will be the nicest ass raping ever. bend over and take it.

[xrayg36c]

Petrucci looks like sirius black in this one.

[tabotabojayar]

@xrayg36c lolz...gotta agree with that:))

[tabotabojayar]

he doesn't switched to neck pick up?

[metallica5252]

@tabotabojayar he did, if it was the bridge pickup it wouldn't have that "swooshing" sound when he plays really fast. he just switches extremely fast you don't notice it.

[tabotabojayar]

@metallica5252 maybe it's my eyes..idk but the fast passages sounds a bit warm and thin

[metallica5252]

@tabotabojayar well maybe not that fast, look closely at 0:42 he switches.

[soehngen]

WAS FÜR EIN SCHEISS - GEWICHSE

[Dalbeeeeeee1]

@x3metallicrose41x i dunno if youve ever tried to play this solo, but yeah it probably does hurt cause i know when ive attempted it it kills my arms lol

[Fabiuh23]

John Pettruci "God I'm so quick I melt my strings when I play, that's why I got strings that can bear the temperatures of the sun"

[999jbarrett]

That's not an overdub you idiot. Masters like Petrucci don't do shit like that. This isn't a Britney Spears concert you retard.

[TheHammersFall]

welp im gonna go kill myself now

[dtcobhcbtbam]

lol he looks like jesus in it... and plays better

[69QuIzAcK69]

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWK!!!!!­!!

[killerocha]

he kinda looks like dave grohl in this one

[rsyyjh4n6r7xtygb45bt]

its not an overdub. he just changed his tone with his pedal board

[thewisecrab]

Last part of solo sounds overdubbed :(

[AdamDallas]

Do I hear an OVERDUB at the end of the solo!? NOOOO petrucci! Don't do that!

[neyriffer]

@AdamDallas There's NO overdub. Maybe u r listening the delay effect n thinking that's an overdub.

[silverpilot1979]

At 0:59, John looks a tad...um...strung-out, kinda high. I'm willing to let it go, 'cause he's hot as hell.

And the solo is blistering. By the way...what is he doing at 1:23-the end?

[ShiningSpear]

@silverpilot1979 Super high pinch-harmonic. He's bending the tremolo bar down so it squeals very high when he pulls it back up.

[KingZerxst]

@silverpilot1979 What silver said. They are called "dive bombs"

[Annulable]

Wow, Myung is actually audible in this one.

[SergeyEremeev]

he actually reminds me of Russel Alen in this video...

[tabotabojayar]

his tone here is a bit off i think..idk,not so sure.....i have this dvd too and keep watching it over and over just to figure out if he really f' up in the fast part or is it really just the tone......

[MaxMouse83]

@tabotabojayar Anything JP does on the guitar, he does on purpose. Lol

[tabotabojayar]

@MaxMouse83 yeah...i know...in his latest videos his tone is really different from his original sound before....he uses lots of delay(which i think is good for live performances to avoid the picking sound to overlap the real sound of the notes, so he says too)but sometimes his tone is too thin and i'm missing that crunch" he used to have in his tone....like in this vid....

[iRushATI]

Wow, john looks so much like god in this video ...hang on

[graphficker]

I think this is a not a good performance for petrucci

[biloxi1314]

@graphficker personally, (and dont get me wrong i love dream theater as much as any other hardcore dream theater fan, cause i am one) i didnt believe that the whole choas in motion compilation was a very good performance for these guys. i mean i realize theyre playing some wicked technical stuff, but in comparison to live at budakon? its not that great for them

[rafaeldeor]

1:12 WTF

[flipedup]

i luv the energy but the studio version is still the best i have ever heard, this solo still completes me!!!

[jurberto]

pretty tough face at 0.53

[vinceXblade]

You can just see at 0:56 how cramped up his fingers are and how much it hurts to actually keep on playing as aggressively as he does,

Amazing!

[shenkeey]

@vinceXblade nah, thats just giving emotion :)

[simo90msn]

james myung voted best bassist in the last 25 years! this video is proof of what he does

[ginjeeimano]

is the drum kit 'mike's mirage' ?

[ginjeeimano]

im the 1000th view ^.^

[EpsilonX]

lol when i hear this, the crazy drums totally draws my attention more than the guitar solo

[polarispkk]

@EpsilonX

Fuck yeah!!!



[absorbincorbin]

@EpsilonX I've never really heard it until you think about it but holy shit those drums sound amazingly cool!

[EpsilonX]

@absorbincorbin i almost never pay attention to the solo cuz the drumwork is so cool haha

[NailsForDinner]

@EpsilonX Fuck, I know right? And people say Systematic Chaos was a bad album!

[EpsilonX]

@NailsForDinner in the Dream Theater spectrum, I think its one of the not as good albums, but on it's own its awesome.

[jeromeice]

0.57 oh yeah
