I AM SO SICK OF THE 'BLUES'. It's youtube blues. Everyone plays that because it's easier. What is next? "Youtube Prog" licks flooding the channels? Oh wait, how about Folk licks? Oh yea thats right. The Avett Brothers have already had their 5 mins of frame.
I really think this is stupid. Is he trying to teach gods to play guitar,or humans? I think that Paul Gilbert knows this,but normal people do not,we need something to get us to this level,something normal. I know you will reply me with something like "you have a metronome and a whole day to practice",but I hope you know what I want to say. By the way,the blues lick is the best lick on the DVD.
@MrCowwhisperer27 It is practice, John Petrucci is like everybody else. He is where he is because of his dedication to his practice, we all have the potential to be like him.
@MrCowwhisperer27 you seriously watched 5 of these videos before saying that? you obviously wanted to be able to play like him or you wouldn't have been here in the first place. how would other guitar gods become guitar gods if there wasn't a video like this to teach them the stuff they are not too lazy to learn
This isn't John Petrucci.. He was summoned back to the Mothership, so they had to replace him by an I.A. who looked like Jesus.. They figured no one would ever notice, because everyone just looks at the hands and DIE right there after been confronted with that amount of awesomeness..
I seriously recommend these lessons to people who don't have a guitar teacher or are not getting lesson this shit works! I just reached my 200 bpm goal like two days ago! Once you get to 170 it's pretty much easy from that point on it took me like a week to get to 160 then in one day i went from 160 to 200 so it works just stay dedicated!
Am i the only one that comes to a point where it feels like u just cant play faster and stay accurate.. imean ican play faster but then its just raping my guitar not knowing what im playing lol. Its like some kind of limit where ur brain cant keep up which note u have to hit.. or am i just stupid
@RevellAndRepend "but then its just raping my guitar" LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL!!!!!
You're not necessarily stupid, just your brain doesn't have the experience of functioning at that speed. As he said, back off a bit, practice A LOT at that tempo, and just shunt it forward in SMALL incriments, practicing A LOT, until you begin to slowly improve your reaction time/thinking speed.
@RevellAndRepend No, your not stupid. But never ever play before you think... Your brain shouldnt have to keep up with you fingers, but it should be the other way around. Your fingers should have to keep up with your brain :]
but, you can't really play that fast. so, you suck, so start at around 10. then when you get to 15, you can't do that, so just put your guitar on ebay
the scary part is how much hes gotten in the past 15 years...and how much hes going to get before he ascends or he ends the world with his picking speed...
@nichols9286 Sure he can. He can do even more nowadays. But I think this was honestly too difficult (on that particular day, at that particular instant). I think he fired this blues lick in the end because he realised he was losing control at 208 too. But he's insanely good anyway. John YOU RAWK!!!
