wow they are all GREAT!! i must say though!!.... Fulara!! im a Huge Fan!!! but i sorta wish you played both with a pick and or finger picking... and then switched it up back to finger tapping style... i think i will give your sound an extra dynamic feel?
Man, normally guys who play fancy two-handed stuff are just impressive and not actually fun to listen to. . .but this guy is so good it's scary and actually manages to make it work in the context of the music. Two thumbs way up (mainly because they are the only fingers not on the fretboard here).
i've been listening to Fulara for about a week now, and i think he would earn his reputation to be invited to guest play in Dream Theater tours.,no i mean, he's OVERqualified to jam with JP and JR.
Unforgivingcritic is a mere teenager that is only familiar with the metal scene. He doesn't know what he's talking about yet. Give the kid a break, he's got some musical growing up to do.
To Unforgivingcritic: go listen to some Return to Forever, Pat Metheny band. Maybe after a couple of months listening to these kind of bands you'll understand where Dream Theatre stands comparing to them.
Even though Dream Theatre consists of decent musician, they chose to chase the buck and play progressive metal. All their music is based on basic ideas (very simple chord progressions, simple lines and melodies). Any dude who picks up a bit of technique will be able to play D.T music and understand it, just like all other mainstream music. In R.T.F, they play and improvise on songs with complex progressions and changes, like most Jazz and Fusion bands.
@arthurthegreat "Chase the buck"? Are you fucking retarded? You dont play metal if you are looking to make money. Sure a few crappy bands sell out and try to make money, but going after a prog metal band? Oh, wow they dont do 38 fucking progressions every 42 seconds...
While R.T.Fs stuff is equally technically challenging, one also has to know theory and its application very well just in order to be able to improvise on it and play it. Chick Coreas understands and articulates in music better than me and you understand and articulate in English combined. Those are musicians on a whole different level. All these metal, pop and rock musicians are "public entertainers", they are not real, knowledgeable, professional musicians.
Dream Theater is not your usual Metal band. I think you are making them out to be more simplistic than they are. John Petrucci (guitarist of Dream Theater) is a real, knowledgable, professional musician, and he has a certificated diploma. These Metal, Pop and Rock musicians are actually real musicians, they write music, they can read music and they are actually quite professional. You are making a quite harsh generalisation if I may say so.
I agree totally. Why are people fussing over comparisons with a bunch of prog rockers (stale ones at that, hardly innovating these days) when we're talking about jazz here? This has nothing to do with prog rock.
Come on... Dream Theatre these days are just cheesy.
Thats a shame, A LOT of cats can play a slap bass solo, but few are the guys that can play a good jazz solo on bass, I guess I was looking forward to that, these guys are cookin otherwise.
nope, i love jazz music myself, but i love metal too., well, it's just the kind of metal that people listens too. mine is progressive metal/rock. it depends upon how the metal piece was created, was it musically or nonsense made or the type of metal that's irritating to hear,for an example.. the band cannibal corpse.,that serves only as an earsore.

This heart my ears. I watched some of Adam Fulara's other videos, and enjoyed them, but these three are painful together.
I will say this though, I hear a talent and great things from them behind the badness. They have the skills. They just need to fine tune it to sound in sync together.
Their music is awesome!Band is talented and ambitious to listening. This bassist was my maths teacher. He is really friendly and he's fantastic musician:) pozdrawiam panie Tomku
God has blessed you with a very very great gift to bless many with inspiration, joy , happiness and fun, Thank you so much ,you young men are great musicians. Keep up the great work!
I liked it. I was quick to judge the maple leaf rag and call him another one of the many two guitar/two necked guitar tappers =) I see now that he is better than that.
Guys you are so damn talented!!!! Keep on rocking!!! Make more songs, use different techiniques!!! Be the new Dream Theater, porcupine tree hahaha I don't know some new mutant power, may the force be with you!!!
Ok not to diss Adam's tapping skills, because they are indeed amazing, however, to only use tapping is basicly turning your guitar into a piano\keyboards, I wish I could see him playing using other techniques which will give a point to him playing on a guitar and not on keyboards.

Playing touchstyle the way Adam does is not anywhere close to the piano or keyboards. There are 144 fret positions (24 fret) on a guitar that correspond to a multitude of different fingering positions. It is an entirely different thought process.
Not to mention tapping style has a totally different tone to that of a piano, and it's quite a unique sound colour in itself. If it were piano playing in this trio the sound and vibe would be totally different.
Adam Fulara, I saw your website some months ago and it's an honor I have now a chance to send you a message through YouTube. I, as well as many around the world, admire you, and you're an example for us. Thank you for giving us such beautiful music. By the way, Fool-X is a great band, I should say it has the best jazz interpretations by a contemporary band, in my opinion. Congratulations, and wish you huge success! :D
I didn't take the time to analyze what's going on harmonically here, but it sounded like these guys shortened the form to 16 bars (8D- + 8Eb-) for the guitar solo. I didn't like how it was inconsistent with the form of the melody they played, but I guess that's the whole point right? Cool to see a guitarist tapping like that.
Good tappin'...not like EVH but good enough. You gotta get a better bass player though. That guy solos too much. Bass players should be seen and not heard.
are you dumb? His tapping is absolutely amazing. The bass player is excelent as well. What kind of crappy music do you listen too if you can only see the bass player and not here it?
Seriously, supurb trio, it must've been one hell of a time assembaling it.
Yeh tool. Seriously. Eddie is not too groundbreaking a guitarist. Eruption is not that complex a solo. Look up Paul Gilbert or Buckethead if you want tapping with talent and rhythm and not just part of a solo. Also, look at Victor Wooten and tell me again that a bassist is seen and not heard.
Well, that's your (peculiar) opinion joehogan. I think these guys sound real good. You say bass players should be seen and not heard? What, should they just have a cardboard cutout of a bass player up there? From what I can hear he sounds like an outstanding bass player to me.

well, i guess not, there's no other band better than dream theater.. if you say not, than you might be overrating or underrating bands.

Close minded.
Stanley Jordan, Pat Metheny, Chic Corea band, etc.
Some of those ring a bell??????

because rudess and fulara play the same instrument and you can actually compare them?
and dream theater are pretty crap. they havent released a good album since 6 degrees of inner turbulence, and that was only half good.
there are plenty of bands better than dream theater.
