I love this solo cover. The guy even got the vibrato, the accents and the feeling right. It is not about hitting all the notes, it is about getting the feeling of the original right.
@thehuntz1 sorry to disapoint you. the snare is part of the song =P @device1978 What a great job! Very clear. I can't play it that way. Stay Tuned Sir
because there are simply too many "difficult" techniques and pick up switches going on. I remember being very disappointed when I would see Petrucci play it live. Unlike, say Fortune, where it's more manageable. The specific vibrato that he pulls off between that picking and very strict legato is just very hard to get at an exact measure. I think this guy does an excellent job as well as that CeCi guy. Better than Petruccis lame musicman version on here for sure
Brian is a true masterful guitar player and performer. I think the Dream still lives and I tip my hat to these guys in Dominici for making the dream live on forever in our minds ears and eyes. True genius and true musicianship of the highest quality and ability.
damn guys, you jsut don't hear it. of course, technically it's perfect, no doubt, but what is missing here is the passion of the original, in a way that it can understandibly only be expressed by the creator. Talking about softer music I would call it groove but I think in this case the word "passion" fits way better. Petrucci delivers the guitar with a sort of vital soul, you can hear it scream and bawl fractiously and nastily like a cat. (listen closely to bandings and tremolo of each version)
@Al4utube For fuck sake, he's not John Petrucci, nobody on the planet is gonna be able to replicate it with every little nuance the way he does, regardless of if they nail the notes 100%, everyone has their own take on it.
@Al4utube i dont think its missing "passion". i mean, it might be, but overall it's just missing VIBRATO. every point where petrucci shakes the note into a beautiful wave of sound, this guy leaves it sounding as stale as day-old bread...
@MrMeist I thought about it and now I think you're right. You can describe what's missing in technical terms basically as "missing vibrato", makes it much clearer what I was trying to say. Basically, that was what I meant. Passion, as another word for "groove", is missing here, and that groove would be improved using vibrato at those moments were it is supposed to be used.
The last part of the solo, the one that looks like chromatic scales; Should it be played at 210BPM or 280 (4 notes per beat). Beacause if it is supoused to be played at 280, I'm pretty sure not even Petrucci is playing it at that speed on his video.
The electric guitar is for me one of the greatest tools ever built by humans, it's just amazing what it can do when handled properly, like we see in this video and many others.
@MatsEP It's called the whammy flutter, you sorta whack the whammy so as a result of the whack it goes updownupdown really fast until it loses momentum, Steve Vai does it quite a couple of times, with love and care of course.
@MatsEP to be a bit more detailed, you don't just "whack" it. It is actually more of a drag across the bar at the lower point. If you just try to slap it your going to recoil the tremolo and it will sound like crap. If you want to try it, just remember to slide across the bar, don't hit it.
This is the best cover I've seen so far here on youtube. I doubt I'll see anything better. Good job, sir. Really like your sound and the fact that you play that clear! Greetings
im not blind at all. i'm not the kind of fan that won't admit that labrie is prone to off key singing from his vocal injury and the like, but you have to realize that although his style has changed over the years, he hasn't become a lesser guitarist.
@chaveznieves listen to how much effects he has in Images and Words and listen some new album....now i can hear a blur of distortion,delay,reverb,phaser and who knows what else.
just because his sound has changed doesn't make him worse. he's different thats all. and you may or may not like it. thats fine. but you can't call him a bad player when he's widely regarded as one of the best (the best by some) guitarists in the world just because you don't like what he does
@chaveznieves What does "one of the best" mean? There are 100 thousand guitarists around the world that many people call "one of the best".You can't call every good player one of the best.There are very few people that people should say "one of the best".The people who innovated the instrument and not just good players.Allan Holdsworth,Frank Gambale,Django Reinhard,Jimi Hendrix,Al Di Meola,John Mclaughlin...
@chaveznieves All the players like Petruci,Vai,malmsteen,satriani worship Holdsworth because the things that he is doing on the guitar can't even be described with words.If anyone should be named the best guitarist in the world it's Holdsworth.Vai called Holdsworth the best so did Frank Zappa and many others
well petrucci's idol is not holdsworth. his idol is steve morse.
and again. just because YOU think someone is the best doesn't make them the best. especially because "best" means different things to different people. there's not a single player in that list you gave me i would call one of the best. but thats just because i have a different opinion of what a great guitar player should be. now if you don't mind. can we kindly agree to disagree and let me move on with my life
@chaveznieves watch closely the interview from his lessons in the 90's rock descipline or something...he says i have always been 2 schools 1 play stakato like al di meola and steve morrs and 2 try to play legato like Allan
@chaveznieves you moron...when you grow up study some music read some books about harmony and modes start listening to jazz and fusion and when you start to understand it then talk to me.I cannot argue with you now because you have no idea about anything.
don't assume that i don't know shit about music. i happen to be a music student at university so shut the hell up. i'm a piano major.
i know what the hell i'm talking about. and besides. i don't know why you think that youre opinion is so damn superior to everyone elses. now. again. IF YOU DON'T MIND. I'D LIKE TO MOVE ON AND GET ON WITH MY LIFE. you aren't going to change my opinion, and you're looking more and more like an idiot as this wears on
I totally agree, your finger movement is very clean which is reflected in your tone. One of the only covers that I've seen that does the harmonic around 1:03. All great playing, other than I do think it could feel a little more loose, the style seems to be more bluesy than strictly to the beat. =)
Could be because he had a custom guitar and amplifiers/effects worth over tens of thousand dollars. Just the head is 3000 dollars, then add up equalizers, effects, the cabinets and you'll end up with a pretty expensive rig.
really, really nice work! just flawless! you must have been practicing like crazy, huh? :)

I agree with Shwarg.. After having learned this solo after many years of hearing it (ill upload someday when I actually get it on video(have
to relearn it) I must say that it's rather
dissapointing in the sense that it can't really
be played "perfectly" in a one take live
setting. It's very obvious that it was recorded
the Dragonforce/Hammett way where he
records diff parts of the solo one at a time
