Dream Theater The Dance of Eternity Guitar Cover + Ragtime Piano/Keyboard

[MikeOrlandoGuitar]

Damn, and I thought the original was bad enough! In my band I get to use TASTEFUL licks instead of this crappy shred.

[DJRickinson]

You were very proffesional about it. You played it almost exactly like Petrucci does. Is that the JP 7 that you are using? If so how do you like it?

[tivla]

Way nice, Mr. This is a very ambitious undertaking, and you've done it justice.

[box1u]

tight!

[shrinkingviolet989]

niiiiiiiiiice ;)...

[crashonskis]

you sir are phenomenal. Join a band, you're the next petrucci.

[Drucef]

Great cover! Have you tried the Axe Fx 2 yet? If so, do you think it sounds better?

[givemeajackson]

one of the hardest songs ever, and you got it down. even the tone is perfect!

[THPION]

[Korgnager]

Sweet cover!

[RaydentkSIR]

does your guitar have 7 strings?

[cyaonecom]

@RaydentkSIR Yes, it does! :)

[gassanrzh]

you're absolutely talented man, sick cover!

[comolos]

It's just me or he doesn't look comfortable infront of a camera?

Anyway absolutely amazing cover, keep going !

[TheMeaning0fLife]

@comolos It's probably hard to be comfortable when playing this difficult a song. Either way, the sound was still phenomenal.

[thejoker1393]

This is absolutely phenomenal... kudos :P I've been playing about 4 years and I hope I'm this good in another 4 years xD

[DJShiwa]

[givemeajackson]

@slash5155 well, the axe sounds good recorded without i dont see why he should use one.

[markitoxpowermetal]

[kilipeti]

Oh. My. God.

That was so perfect man! Perfect tone, but above all, PERFECT TIMING!

You HAVE skills man! Awesome!

[MonsterHunterAussie]

[MrPianoDan]

wow.. i love the ragtime part :D

[charlesneedham]

Dude..what?

Did I actually just see that? I thought you meant that you were going to cover the ragtime solo on your guitar. I'm majorly frightened now. My god.

[afranks107]

in case of JP is dead, you can be his replacement

[Henriqueorato]

flawless victory!! =D

[AwayToSlay]

awesome :D Keep it up :)

[ARMAMATAROCK]

[DreaminginWaves]

Awesome hair and playing! The Axe-Fx sounds freaking amazing!

[NeedHeadMusic]

Super gemacht :)

[robibm2003]

This is one of the most impressive videos I have seen on You Tube. The guitar work was stellar enough, but that keyboard part really knocked me out, too. Keep doing what you feel you need to, dude. Your playing kills!

[LavamanMusic]

killer tone and playing

[ediek915]

Great job! I don't even have the patience to learn this, let alone do it any justice! Respect!

[TheCryingMachine]

YO!!!! AMAZING!!!

Keep up the shreeeeed

[BassChaosify]

2:50 damn! One of the best Coversongs I've ever heard !

[MigueL80808]

Damn !

[khfan185]

This is amazing enough; imagine if he did the bass solo too!

[noobieku]

super awesome bro ... but you should eat more :D

[pfftw]

why didnt you use your musicman JP?? :)

[cyaonecom]

@pfftw It's not a Music Man, but an OLP JP. The main reason for not playing the song on a 6-string guitar, is that the original song is played on a 7-string guitar (although there are arrangements for 6-string guitars in standard tuning).

[dnkzz]

@cyaonecom i love my 7420 too hahaha

[rockman1066]

@cyaonecom do you have the tabs for the 7 string version?

[BunnehMe]

Love it! Only disappointment is that the sweep was a bit obscured - great great work.

[Dopaminergie]

Many thanks for your cover songs. You are excellent both on guitar and sound creation. I hope you'll share us many more.

[TheWildestGuitarist]

Perfect

[danyarka]

awsome cover man! compliments :D how long have you been playing guitar?

thanks again!

[cyaonecom]

@danyarka Thank you! I've been playing guitar since summer 2001.

[SpartanLaserCanon]

@cyaonecom So Thats Why Your So Good.

[thejulienhanck]

Hi cyanecom !

Very nice performance ! (plus you are at the same time taking the place of Petrucci and Jordan Rudess ). I also fell in love with this masterpiece . It's why I also lately recorded a cover of the same song ( but only with synthesizers).

It would be great to have your feedback , especially because you already played the piece. I personally don't use backing tracks , all except the drums are played live.

Greetings from Hong Kong !

sincerely,

Julien

[ADDDEATHMETAL]

perfect. nothing to add

[finland500000]

Liking your Systematic chaos era petrucci hairstyle.

[GeorgiosZaimis]

That was great! Nice technique! Keep up the good work!

[bmwm3cs]

Why does this have 3 thumbs down? I thought it was great!!!!!

[saschusmaximus]

Waaaahnsinnnn ! super !

[adsayf]

just put your guitar a little higher, then you will be the next petruci :D

[00Ibanezist00]

Awesome cover, mate. Really good quality. And the tone is spot on.

Have you got any originals?

[Jakebag88]

Awesome vid dude! Amazing playing!



[Renagade1325]

2:50-3:10 is better than sex

[GypsyRelic]

Why put your foot up if your guitar is too high to even rest on your leg?

[metalthrasher77]

@GypsyRelic who cares! :P

[duker00lz]

@GypsyRelic You must not play guitar.

[GypsyRelic]

@duker00lz Hmm...A posture initiated in the classical world (and adopted by many including Petrucci), requires that the guitar rests on the left leg to provide a greater range of movement and stretch to the left hand, as well as giving the right hand a greater span of the six strings (in this case seven). However, this posture is rendered usless if the player doesn't even have the guitar resting on the leg. Oh, and I have been playing for 14 years and I am attending the Berklee College of Music.

[GuidoPerdomo]

your guitar sounds soooo cool man..

[crazygring]

yeaaah! great, buenisimo!

saludos desde argentina

check mi vids ;)

crazygring

[TheThim51]

that's some serious equipment right there, and some serious skills, nice man

[AntoDela]

any info about guitar and p.u. used?

[frood19]

such good riffs in this song. makes me want to buy a 7 stringer.

[guitarfreaky1996]

great guitar skills man, i'm not like you, but i do have a way of getting around the guitar, check my vids out :D

[neo69hk]

Axe-FX Line in recording ?~?may i know how do you combine your video and guitar sound??

[cyaonecom]

@neo69hk By replacing the recorded camera sound with the recorded AXE FX signal using a video editing software.

[sild123]

@cyaonecom and what software did you use? thx :)

[Aldoz97LTE]

This man is fucking amazing!

[marsarium]

Excellent !

[Rowsol84]

the riff at 3:25 is unbelievable. Thank you Petrucci.

[MartinP95]

do you have tabs?

[systematicdesign]

amazing!

[MovPeristaltico]

Amazing!!! a little... very little mistake on the keyboard solo but this video is awesooome!!!....

congratulations friends

[Livershots]

seriously, seriously impressive. However much time you've spent practicing, it was worth it.

[theflyingcoco]

Very Nice bro best cover ever

[joefalchetto94]

this is great. you have talent.

[TimmyTheGreatOo]

insanity

[TFIFH]

You look like Mikael Åkerfeldt

[FernandoDutra]

great playing dude! and GREAT tone... Axe FX is really awesome! but you can get a little bit closer to petrucci's tone if you turn down de mid frequencies... petrucci doesn't like it hehehe

[B33D13Z]

This is fantastic, correct me if i'm wrong, but possibly one of the most technically demanding DT pieces? With all the time signature changes etc etc

Brilliant playing anyhow :D

[diego150589]

amazing cover man!!! you're the best youtuber xD!.... perfect!.... 100/5

[TemptationDenied]

This is hands down the best cover of this song I've seen on YouTube. Awesome tone man!!

[bycharuan]

DAMN, this guy coudl substitute Petrucci, in a performance of DT, he´s really aswome, he might have be a lot but a LOT of hours practicing this epic song,

Congratulations u are a really good mucisian,

PD: I liked a lot ur stuff (ampliers, consoles, combo-boxes)

[BenjaminProd]

You are freaking badass, this is definitely the best I've seen done on youtube overall, yet! Let's keep it that way! :D

[mcpihvi]

You are awesome! and your look reminds me of Mikael Åkerfeldt :P

[sysdftpnk]

O.O

[VaiMan69]

all your covers are amazing man 5*!! would love to see you cover beyond this life at somepoint too!

[coolcoolant]

dude ur awsome u give me hope @ show me its possible 2 play my idols keep rockin

[HeadShooTher]

the best awesome cover on youtube really awesome

[1bladlus]

Awesome man :) When you started playing the piano bit, you really resembled Jordan back when he had long hair hehe.

[borisandres]

what camera did u use for recording ?? looks great...

[cyaonecom]

The main video was made with a Sony XR-520VE. For the other one, which sometimes shows up in the corner, I used an old Samsung VP-D70. The quality of this camera was the reason to show these parts only in a small window.

A second HD camera would be better, actually, but well ...

By the way: The video was uploaded in Full HD encoded with H.264!

[XNick]

WOOOOOOW I tried playin that all piano solo...ahh man! you do really good. and no noithing to say any more.

[johnsofo45]

ridiculous man i'm totally a fan

by far one of my fav DT songs and you 100% did it justice

[Vordrab]

For sure the best cover on youtube... Really impressive. 5*

[demonid3e]

Amazing!

[IcarusNic]

Hey Mann, echt geil !! /m/

Ich werde mir höchstwahrscheinlich auch nen Axe fx kaufen, dass ich dann durch eine VHT 2502 laufen lassen werde. Das Axe ist ja zum recorden auch wie geschaffen, kannst du mir sagen wie sich das Axe live durchsetzt?

gruß Nic

[vetkeyboardist]

Hey~ You're good at both guitar & keyboard

[andragonia82]

You are great musician . Bravo , bravo , bravo !!!

[AlonsoDT]

incredible !

[remx123]

looks like playback

[LetTheChaosRayne]

he $4000 dolllars of equiptment just in the frame i dont think he would spend all that money just to fake it

[alexcob15]

awesome!

[Spacca189]

fuck dude that's amazing

[darklegend24]

tabs please!!

[ryansheet]

amazing video

[S1r0b]

dude, i didn't expect you to even rip the ragtime solo on the piano at all! awesome!

[frosties01]

Nice tone :)

though the green wall is ugly

[TuningFreak23]

one word , amazing

[petruccirocks02]

That rhythm tone is killer. Its almost exactly like the original. Great cover, bro.

[4HahaTwo]

it IS the original (i think :) ) you can hear petrucci

PS I just died a little inside trying to play that song for the first time lol

[73hNils]

That was immense! AXE FX sounds good!

[4HahaTwo]

holy shit.. both on the playing and on the sound produced by the Axe FX equipment. Amazing.

[Opranius]

machst du richtig gut! :)

[VeidoX]

This deserves more views..

Nice cover man.

[emiil93]

So i'll need a 7string to play dance of eternity?

[HybridSoldier94]

Yes, it is.

[73hNils]

Not only to play that song, but to add approximately 45.6% more win to your music.

[GreatGreen]

Wow, sounds VERY close to the original. I think you over did it just a *tiny* bit with the drive though. Don't get me wrong, it sounds great as it is, but the original guitar tone didn't have quite that much gain.

Still though, sounds awesome!

[MISTIKRAIN88]

SOUNDS AND COVER GREAAAAAT

[99voltsdotcom]

incredible...very talented musician!

[Asydeshow]

@99voltsdotcom

If he can cover DT he has to be, lol.

[SpartanLaserCanon]

@99voltsdotcom I Thought Octavarium And A Change Of Seasons Where Dream Theaters 2 Hardest Songs To Play, Then I Play This Song And For 6:14 Minute Song Holy Fuck This Is One Of The Hardest Guitar Songs Ever xD 

[ProgRog]

Wie immer - saustarke Leistung!

[scraptac1991]

very nice cover

[Abjauchgrube]

I didn't know those Marshall mini-stacks could sound that big.
