Daves PetrucciFever Sounds Of Summer Contest Entry...

[arwi55]

Very nice job dude, you have a good clean sound and when the overdrive is on its fucking good !

Keep rockin' !

[ebealienhead]

@arwi55 Thanks very much! I checked out your Death metal original and it was totally KILLER!

[Gigodem]

seriously, its always a pleasure hearing and seeing you play. youre an amazing guitarist

[ebealienhead]

@Gigodem Thank you very much! keep watching!

[Gigodem]

@ebealienhead i sure will :)

[davifoueira]

Congratulations on the contest 11th place way to go :P All your videos are very deep and beautiful, i wish that i could play like u. Keep up the good work!!!

[ebealienhead]

@davifoueira Thanks very much! I appreciate it, keep watching!

[n3osamura1]

I'm sorry, I know you've probably gotten asked this 5000 times, but what equipment do you use (amp/fx) to get this smooth lead tone?  I know a majority of the tone comes from your playing style, but I was just curious. I think what I'm most interested in is your delay unit.

[ebealienhead]

Hi n3osamura1 ! my rig is a Digitech 2120 guitar processor powered by a 50 watt Mesa Boogie stereo power amp through 2 Marshall 4x12's in stereo.

[mayhembiff]

Love your playing Dave.

Constructive criticism: the opening alien head features at the beginning of every video makes it difficult to create a proper quicklist of your videos to listen to while I work. The volume spikes have me reaching for the volume all the time. No offense meant of course.

[ebealienhead]

thank you mayhembiff ! none taken :)

i'll try to keep the volume more even in the future...i appciate the feedback! happy new year!

[Earnhardt12345]

Really nice... Great one. What type pickups?

[ebealienhead]

thanks very much Earnhardt12345 ! the pickups are Seymour Duncan...a 59 in the neck and a Super Distortion in the bridge...

[juchel]

your vocabulary for playing is very nice, how do you practice to combine smooth phrasing and technique and ears ?

[ebealienhead]

Thank you juchel ! its just years of playing and listening to my favorite players..i think to myself "what would he have done with this" or i try to think like my favorite players..

[metlguitar02]

11 of 187 people is really good! You deserved 1st :)

What kind of pups you got in that axe?

[ebealienhead]

thanks so much metlguitar02 ! the pickups are Seymour Duncan...a 59 in the neck and a Super Distortion in the bridge...

[metlguitar02]

That's cool. Have you tried the JB in the bridge? I use a JB jr in my strat and it is awesome for all styles. Keep on rocking!

[sssShawnnnn]

Excellent composition! Your playing shows lots of emotion. Also, congratulations on making 11th out of the many entries! And nice equipment you have by the way.

[ebealienhead]

[marywinmusic]

Dave, you place me in the mood for your music very quickly. I was innocently sittin' mindin' my business, then I am instantly captured with your opening notes. That's some kind of mind control your working. I only wish there was more. I'll be waiting for your next post. ~Mary

[rdsagiro]

It's three words written as two. "You're awesome".

And it is true, Dave is indeed awesome. If he looked like David Gilmour, he'd probably be, uh, David Gilmour.
