John Petrucci - Amazing Guitar Solo

[rudedude101]

my head exploded

[TripleCraft]

Great solo, anyone know about tabs? and which melody is he playing from 5:36? always wondered about it.. thanks :)

[omaar115]

he've a perfect technique

[tomica909]

holy F*CK!!!!what a rush!!!

[bananacondaYT]

This would sound mostly hilarious without the effects, distortion, wah.

[lnvoke]

@bananacondaYT Yeah. He obviously sucks without effects.

[DJspin88988]

Fucking. amazing. smh

[MrDizzywolf]

my ears jizzed.

[undefinablyundefined]

Fuckin Tarrentella out of nowhere, awesome

[tomica909]

this is unreal..

[Peace5ify]

This is pretty amazing. I havn't ever heard him do a blend of blues and new age guitar.

[kendogoldensun]

Eargasm

[NoaOno]

In MY opinion, the soul and talent combination 1# is Tosin Abasi. Guys check him out :) And this is even though DT was my favourite band for very long

[kvarbanov]

Can somebody tell me the name of the song at around 05:40 ? I think it's some old Russian national song, or perhaps a famous melody from classic composer that I can't think of ? Thanks !

[chilrenofdecadence]

@kvarbanov

Tarantella Napoletana

[kvarbanov]

@chilrenofdecadence - many thanks - DT have influences even from Italy, as it seems :)

[ThisVideoGuy]

@kvarbanov It's Italian, but it's the "Tarantella Napoletana".

[AbledHands1O1]

@ThisVideoGuy Where? at what minute? @?

[ThisVideoGuy]

@AbledHands1O1 It starts at 5:36.

[Potential91]

This john guy, has an awful tone. But the riff that kicks in at 2:20 is pretty sick, but WTF why does he have to play every riff an octave or so higher after playing the original thing. Sounds shit as fuck.

[DTFTW1]

@Potential91 this john guy? JOHN PETRUCCI IS GOD!!!!!!!!!!

[BlueBite205]

Petrucci, marry me! xD

[chrisfactoryboi]

Flight of the Bumblebee!!!!!!

[Metal4LifeBitch95]

John Petrucci is pure awesomeness. No doubt.

[tiikva]

thanks dudes

[Ginthesoundofsilence]

"tarantella napoletana"

[napatenapnigite]

I liked the part where he played the guitar

[joseav93]

[rafiurster69]

Petrucci is the man.

[necterium]

[Zoury]

@necterium not sure what you meant by that... but you can see that song live if you search for "Paradigm Shift - Liquid Tension Experiment [ Live in LA 2008 ]" while it's still up here :)

[necterium]

@Zoury tnks :D uhm exist the video of this solo?

(sorry my inglish, i m ita)

[Zoury]

@necterium oh! i don't know if there is video footage of this solo here, the link i suggested is a video of the song that he starts to play at around 2 mins. :)

[JasonBecker85]

@necterium Si c'è un video di questo solo su youtube,ma non è di questo live

[necterium]

[BigPapa012385]

Allen Collins' Free Bird solo is fuckin' awesome ! :D

[L3inad102]

der teil zwischen 5:40 und 6:14 heißt : Tarantella :D

[L3inad102]

[necterium]

@L3inad102 tarantella from italy :D

[13lood5eeker]

i had to turn this off because i was getting tired of staining my pants with jizz.

[Rhomedon]

John, you are awesome, legendary, one of the best!!!!!

[GregHM81]

What's the name of the song starting at 2:00 ??

[chunderfromdownunder]

@GregHM81 paradigm shift by liquid tension experiment

[MLGR3linquish]

@GregHM81 The song is Paradigm Shift, the first song on Liquid Tension Experiment's first album, and they consist of Portnoy, Rudess and Petrucci of Dream Theater, and Tony Levin the bassist in King Crimson.

Check them out. They are awesome.

[onsenfoudunom1]

@GregHM81 Biaxident from the band Liquid tension experiment

[stroobakka]

@all

a solo or a guitar player doesnt have to be fast or have an unique style or whatever

a real guitarist plays with his hart en give's hes soul notes :)

remember that there are some crappy guitarists in the word but they give there emotions to there guitar and at least they try ;)

[deathscythekim729]

some stupid people here don't know John Petrucci.. He's part of Dream Theater, THE WORLD'S TALENTED AND INTELLIGENT MUSICIANS EVER..so STFU AND TRY SUCKING YOUR MOM'S NIPPLES!!!FUCK OFF YOU!!!

[AbledHands1O1]

@deathscythekim729 hahahahahahahaha

[chichowero]

this is the fucking best thing in the world

[firelegendmushroom]

Its like sex only better.

[nnifie]

i don't really like it when starts the überstrumming, but at least he can do it

[woggz21]

0:48-1:01

[TheRuobi]

does anyone have the tabs for the part from 5:26 to 6:14 please?

i love that part

[conradeon]

@TheRuobi

i think........though im not sure is an old italian folk song by the name of cela luna mezzo mare................

it was off the godfather

[FlyingPandaRockets]

:50-1:01 sounds almost steve morse-ish, with the whole shuffling low alternative picked notes mixed in with the high notes, i know a lot use it, just saying cus steve morse was one of petrucci's if not petruccis biggest influences, so maybee he thought of using it like that

[Yocoyur]

Just a bad copy of Ritchie Blackmore, but Blackmore had much better sound years ago.

[JasonBecker85]

@Yocoyur ahahahahahahahahahahahhahahah

[BulletFrenzy543]

Stop talking about BH in my opnion hes just to falshy and over rated. The best shredders today are definietly petrucci and gilbert.

[Deliratio]

I was looking for this everywhere, thanks man! Petrucci is a musical genius.

[hardcoregamer85]

O.O

[fabesh]

What is the name of the song at 4:47 ?

[vaistile]

@fabesh petrucci : gemini

[Ftmneer]

pure awesomenesss!

[killar55]

What's most impressive to me, is that he does all of this with *no* back-up, he can be his own support. That is awesome!

[bleuskais]

I think theres more to music than speed riffs

[VincentVangoria]

...as Petrucci demonstrates beautifully.

[farrex0]

in my opinion JP is the best combination of soul and talent, maybe he doesnt show his feelings like slash in physical way, but he also doesnt abuse of the distortions or rare tunes, and many other things that technology can make to ur sound like BH, but he is ust so fast, but doesnt loose the rhythm, and he also can make sweeping without loosing the feeling musically, thats perfection for me

[needpit1]

7:45-7:50 wtf!!!???

[kulkan1]

@needpit1 He played so fast that the guitar exploded!

[trakir]

What is the name of the song at 2:01 ?

[hektorsatriani]

@trakir is called paradigm shift from liquid tension, theres even a guitar center live demonstration.. long live petrucci!

[trakir]

@hektorsatriani Yeah, I found it right after I commented ^^ man that's an awesome song

[Ptrcci1]

@trakir The song is Paradigm Shift from Liquid Tension Experiment: )

[Gi4nox]

liquid tension experiment - paradigm shift

[santiagoeuforia]

7:10  7:50

O.o

[Felgrand101]

@santiagoeuforia it's flight of the bumblebee.

It's a piece that was originally played on piano.

Yngwie Malmsteen covered it too.

[dougjwhalen]

this is off a double live cd that is amazing! called 5 years in a lifetime. I think it's the only live cd they made with Derek playing the keys

[ag0ni0]

Es la guitarra de Joe Satriani

[TylerMansmith1229]

4:15 is some of the craziest shit I've ever heard!

[SjPedro]

i wish there was video footage of this

[vaistile]

5,40 is a song called neopolitan tarentella

[ClassZeroCommando]

*mind goes supernova*

[stratmentalist]

him remind me my fave gitaur player in all time; val doonican.

[GeT7ShOt]

How is called the song at minute 5:40 I like it XD jejejej XD

[vict26]

@chromaticINC Are you drunk??? How can you possibly say that buckethead is overrated when clearly he is not?? how can you say buckethead sucks when he is an amazing guitar player. His music is very unique and different. I seriously can't find a reason why you would say he sucks unless you really havent pay attention to his music.

[TheSecretJoe]

@TheSpitFireBand

Paul Gilbert plays better than buckethead.

:)

[SpartanLaserCanon]

@TheSecretJoe Only If You Could Know How Buckethead Can Play Every Genre Ever,Probably You'd Know He's The Best.

[wacaraca]

@TheSecretJoe Totally agree!!

[Toolboy1015]

@TheSecretJoe There's a rumor suggesting Paul Gilbert is in fact Buckethead. But I can't back that up or prove it. If not, I agree.

[SDMFbroly]

@Toolboy1015 bucket head is brian carroll :D

[chromaticINC]

buckethead is overrated. The guitar player on the tonight show band who doesnt do more than one gig is WAY BETTER then buckethead!

[chromaticINC]

that does not mean that his student is as dedicated.

[nikolay1235]

it's awsome that is all i know

[GuitarShredder3366]

you guys dont understand the great thinking behind john petrucci's solo or buckethead or anyone else. you all are amateur musicians or adjudicators. You most likely have not amounted to anything GREAT musically. JP understands and plays music much more advanced then BH or any other guitarist alive right now that is known. BH has technology that any guitarist could use to make sound as good or better then BH so dont say that he does things that guitarist only dream of because he doesnt

[chromaticINC]

I totally agree with you shredder. ONLY beggining guitarist would think that BH can do things that others dream of. Thats just ignorant

[brainnumbed]

OOOH that's so f right..... JP is f awsome... well said...

[Anubispop2]

@GuitarShredder3366 dude thats just not true. i am a huge petrucci fan and i think what he does is absolutely fantastic, but there are guitarists out there on the same level. andy timmons, steve vai, guthrie govan, eric johnson, etc...

[bojorquez1234]

@GuitarShredder3366 petrucci is better than any guitarist alive??? hahahahahahaha, stupid asshole. Guthrie Govan, Marco Sfogli, please, petrucci is only a good technich, the same scale, is so boring but ok, is better jajajajajaja

[45JustinCase]

@bojorquez1234 Dude....... Shut the fuck up.

[chichowero]

@bojorquez1234 shut the fuck up, you idiot

[bojorquez1234]

@chichowero jajajajajaja petrucci=crap guthrie govan is better

[chichowero]

@bojorquez1234 doh

[Rhomedon]

Gotta know this Govan because I really like Petrucci

[AbledHands1O1]

@bojorquez1234 You don't know anything, so shut up

[wallytalivan]

@bojorquez1234 well........sfogli uses Petrucci`s signature guitar, both are great guitarrist, but i think that sfogli is just a sesion guitarrist, im right?, and govan is also a freaking awesome guitarrist, by far one of my favourites, but he just have one album, petrucci have tons of awesomes solo`s

[bojorquez1234]

@wallytalivan you mean that petrucci is better for had many albums? one album with the creativity and feel of govan is better than 1000 000 shred nintendo albums, and the popularity of petrucci is better than sfogli for you, mmm, a great signature talks about the guitarrist jajajajaja lol

[hitmancooks123]

@GuitarShredder3366 Paul Gilbert's better yo

[AbledHands1O1]

@hitmancooks123 But JP is the most skilled of two...

[veggis64]

@GuitarShredder3366

What the hell is wrong with U man...?

This is music and not a way for u wanker to get off...

Smoke a horse and fuck off!

U'r 15-16 ?

[veggis64]

Are u for real ?

What a nut-head !

[badgerbadger16]

Can't we all just agree that John Petrucci, Buckethead, Paul Gilbert, and whoever else that might be brought up in this stupid argument are all fantastic guitarists in their own right?

Every guitarist has their own unique sense of style, and it is in that individuality that makes every great guitar playe what they are.

Stop this stupid argument about who's the best and learn to appreciate them all.

[Delgift]

Really well said!

People, it`s time to open your minds and appreciate everyone`s talents. I personally think John Petrucci is the most crafted guitar player, and amazing technician who can play whatever and with passion. But there`s a problem with most of his fans: they slay the rest, I have to live with that cause my brother thinks this way.

Maybe we`re watching a DVD by Satch, Steve Vai, S.R.V., Jimi Hendrix, etc. and his comments sttubornly defending JP make me mad.

[Delgift]

He like other guitar players, don`t get me wrong, but he seems to be unable to enjoy the most out of other great musicians and respect them at the same rate because of this fanatism that he has for John.

It`s like me saying: ``Wow, Satch`s a great player, he`s always having fun onstage and technically he`s great too´´, and he replies ``but leggatto is easy, John is better because of his picking technique´´.

[Delgift]

And to conclude: I`ve heard a lot of people saying that some guitarist can`t play what others can. I can`t stand that!

It seems that a guitar player can only be good if he/she full the expectations, like someone applying for a job with his/her curriculum viate. Where`s the musical passion and nature in that ?

[veggis64]

@badgerbadger16

Yes.

I agree.

[veggis64]

@badgerbadger16

Yes.

U saved me...

I agree..

[david85901]

haaaaa its impossible

[david85901]

im sorry but this is the most guitar solo ever

and buckethead is a noob compered this

haa...very stupid

[Dumpster510]

stringbender, you're a dumbass. buckethead does things that JP and every other guitarist only wishes they could do. he's versed in every damn style of music you can think of, and to say he sucks just discredits you. you can say you don't like him, he's not as clean as JP, or gets lazy with his soloing sometime, but to say he sucks means you're either ignorant or just plain stupid.

[CURLYHEADEDPHUCK]

@Dumpster510 dibs on him being just stupid

[Petrukki]

Ofc he is a shredder!!

[JasonBecker85]

Petrucci is not a shredder.He is the perfection and the versatility.Feel and technique at the maximum power!Listen to State of grace or The Rena Song by Liquid tension experiment...or Lost without you by John Petrucci

[billboard67]

The rena song was done by JP and JR alone was it not?

[JasonBecker85]

@billboard67 Rena is the John's wife...

[OndskapensHersker]

you are right, sort of. he's not really a shredder, he usually plays with lots of feeling but adds a little twist, which he does better then 99.9999% of humans. BUT he can still shred the balls of most shredders too. which basically makes him the most versitale guitar player in todays music, and of course a god:P

[Colteee]

5/5

[ClosingTheCircle]

Well, i don't really like this solo

[KUNNO20]

Once in a live time solo... after Peruvian Skies

come on... J.P is a Guitar god

[mendezrey1991]

simply fantastic!!

[PzychoScripting]

You've tagged this video with Dream Theater when this is a Liquid Tension Experiment song...

[wicky1992]

nope, it's a live solo from Once in a LIVEtime. Which was obviously with Dream Theater

[PzychoScripting]

Dude that song is an excerpt from Paradigm Shift obviously played live with an extended solo.

[MotionOrbProductions]

@PzychoScripting This is off of 5 years in a LIVEtime, and there is just more than LTE in there

[biloxi1314]

whoever said jp is a shitty guitarist is ignorant and has never really listened to his music. He plays fast yes but he also plays with feeling, something few guitarists can combine

[theguitarmaster74]

after the beginning solo its paradigm shift by liquid tension experiment

[MHTP7]

THE BEST SONG OF DREAM THEATER

La mejor cancion de Dream theater...

[jackuliack]

this shouting over who is the best guitar player is just bullshit, nothing more! everyone is unique...

[drummerjuancho]

Is there no actual video footage of this solo????

Can't find it anywhere on the web....

[zzenLD]

he's a shredder

[atylerplai]

thanks for clarifying that, haha

[zarquan99]

2:01 = paradigm shift. awesome song

[sk84uhlivin1]

if someone can find a video of this solo, I'll give them a cookie

[DevoGuitar08]

[brocgustafson]

Whatever he starts doing at 6:30 is awesome!

[ThePeruvianSky]

some parts sound like EVH

[CemeterySorcerer]

Yeah and some other parts sounds like Doug Aldrich... Especially from Snake Dance

[CemeterySorcerer]

I mean Especially from Blues for Mylene...

[lion17knight]

a few months ago i had no idea what an electric guitar was. i'm so glad my friend made me listen to the real music.

and petrucci rocks!

[sk84uhlivin1]

wow haha

[viektor]

[thephonescaresme]

some italian tarentella...cant remember the name tho

[Tomasuin]

It's an italian traditional melody called the Tarantella.

[kogakoffing]

[SmittyBaGitty]

[Stride278]

yeah, and you suck compared to my dick, and john petrucci isn't even that well known.... i heard of yngwie years before i even heard tell of john pertrucci. fucktard

[Bourotte25]

[Stride278]

research what am i some fucking scientist? and really? i (and nobody near where i live has ever heard of him, but well over a third LISTENS to yngwie. and plus who the fuck do you think you are? you can go back to sucking a cock with your sister and her boyfriend and mind your own fag

[Bourotte25]

Well I see you are a complete fucking retard.Not even able to do research,you and your retard friends never heard about a god of guitar.You also fail at defending yourself,please get the fuck out of the internet.

[Stride278]

actually, i can do research... did you know, that people who have to call other people "retards" as an insult are to mentaly stupid (that would be you) to think of anything smarter to say..so i believe your sister and her boy friend are waiting for you and your mouth..

[Bourotte25]

wow....*you call me a retard but if you say that you're the retard hurr durrr* you fucking shit get the fuck out of the internet...you're a shame to canada.

[Stride278]

canada, you fuckin creeper and what the hell is hurr durr? fuckin loser, got nothing better to do eh?

[Bourotte25]

...ignorant fuck...and no I don't have nothing better to do.I like arguing with retards on youtube,it releases the stress.

[Bourotte25]

I suppose you are a friend of that nigger?

[Brando2600]

No, I was that nigger

[tylerlove78]

Will you two both just shut the fuck up please?

[Stride278]

yeah you know what man, your right i'm done...
