After I promised myself to never ever do something like my cover of The Astonishing album again, I decided to take a "lighter" challenge this time around. I knew the new Dream Theater album would have a 20 min song on it, so I decided that I would cover the song as quickly as possible. So on the day of the release, here's my guitar cover of Dream Theater's title track 'A View From the Top of the World' from the album by the same name.
Cheers to all prog snobs out there!
All guitars are recorded through my Axe FX II XL.
Guitars recorded and mixed with Cubase.

Thank you so much ❤️
Hey I love Dream Theater's music. Respect me now.....

LOL jk about the latter part.
16:28 this is my personal DT sound. I don't wanna say that but like old times. Mangini did amazing job. Carry and re-create the legacy. Amazing cover man!
NGL this parts is so attached to my head first time I heard it
1000% agree!
I agree!!
Pagrezzio riffing.
Album's been officially out less than 24 hours 😂 freaking incredible job man!
I have spent the night watching this video with guitar in hand and I just want to say thank you, it has helped me a lot. 💙
Man, I thought I released my LTE3 covers quickly.. this is a whole new level! Amazing stuff!!
Man, this is a super clean and accurate nailed it cover \m/ 🤟
Hey man, thank you so much! 😄
I can manage the AXE fractal guitar recording.
Dude, you're ridiculously talented. This would've taken me years to do and it would've been much worse, lol.
Thank you so much!
You literally commented a couple of minutes after I uploaded this!
@@XGLDF Yeah, I skipped to the instrumental section at 15 minutes and saw that you nailed it. Based on your past work, I figured the rest would rule, too. Going through the full video now and it does!
Hey Luca
Do you have the tabs :)?? Would be awesome :)
yeah i recognized you because i learned a lot of you when you did the astonishing full album cover, and now youre doing the long song of the album!! I REALLY LOVE YOU!! CRACK! SICK COVER
Thanks man! The Astonishing was a nightmare to make haha. Went for a "lighter" challenge this time around! Thanks a ton man!
If you know, you know (11:51), (13:15) & (14:15).
I counted down to midnight to IMMEDIATELY listen to this opus as the first thing, but you've one upped me in some way, haha. Mad props, Luca!!!
Thanks!!! :D
@@XGLDF i wish you would bend the 13:25 (G note) instead of slide it.. that is like a huge difference between those 2 part of melody for me.... but man, i wish i can play like this....
@@syidi_ To be fair, the bend at 13:29 (also to a G) was beautiful
Palayok A4
Not high voice
Marty Friedman picking style ;-)
So perfect cover, nothing to say. thank you for share your good job
Just want to hear more guitar sound.. then you did a perfect cover.. Thanks to the max...!!
will hear it many times for sure
Wow
Who is the guy who dislike this? Astonishing to learn it in one day only after the release of the album! Greats from France from a DT fan!
Man, I'm truly impressed!! What is approach you take to play just listening all these complex lines on the guitar as you did? Congrats! Very awesome man!!
Thanks man! It's a combination of techniques. The first step nowadays is usually to create a tempo track within Cubase. This makes the tab creation process easier. It also makes picking out fast solo phrases easier, as I can choose to repeat, for example "the second beat of bar 354". This really helps when picking out the solos. And if I feel that I want to confirm something, I slow the song down in Amazing Slow Downer.
Of course it also helps to have covered DT by ear for many years and getting familiar with Petruccis patterns and habits.
Very accurate!
Amazing! I can't believe you learned it so quickly. I am watching how effortless your fast picking is so I can try to learn something from you. I always feel that Petrucci just bullies the strings into submission with pure willpower but I prefer your gentle persuasion. I need to try different pick angles to see what suits me best. Loving this new DT album more every day. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much! I think finding what's comfortable is important. When I started playing, nobody taught me how to hold a pick, so I just naturally held it like this. Especially the first couple of years, people told me I had to change it, because it would keep me from going beyond a certain level. I then saw Marty Friedman pick similarly, and that's when I thought "If he can do it, I can do it".
But yeah, the way Petrucci alternative picks some of his fast phrases is insane. I would never dare play some of them without using some hammerons and pull offs.
Oh OK. Wow. Just wow. Your rythm sections are so perfectly on time and exécuter wow
These are the real ppl that should be Getting 20m views.
Jaw dropping. Aside from the obvious, nice technique and excellent video editing!
Damn you nailed it! My favorite song from the album. Congrats!
This amazing….. Dream Theater on PRS SE 7 strings… delicious
You made me love this song!
Oh ya I just remembered you yesterday when watching other guitar covers of the new album. But I couldn't remember the channel name even though I have subscribed. Today got this video in the feed. Niiceeee

What's up with these guitarists that angle their picks backwards? I've seen a couple people throughout history have that habit. David Chastain is one I can think of off the top of my head that never corrected this... Chris Feener is another, but he corrected it several years back. It's like nobody ever tells them. Nice video, thank you for the content.
...and Marty Friedman, Vernon Reid and many others. There's way more than just a couple. And trust me, we get people tell us that all the time: "Correct your picking technique". It is people like that who made me question whether or not I should start over from scratch instead of advancing. And it is people like Marty Friedman who proves that you don't necessarily have to start over if it works for you.
In my case, I started picking like that because I didn't have a teacher when I started playing and that was what just felt natural to me. The bottom line is, people pick in different ways. And considering that it works for so many technical guitar players, maybe we should stop calling/implying that it is "incorrect".
@@XGLDF I taught for several years. I've had many students who had only been playing for a short time start lessons with this issue and having them correct it was the first priority. I'm going to very respectfully disagree with you, and here's why...
Yes, you certainly can "get away" with picking like that, have a successful career, "make it work for you", etc. But, I like to use the analogy of the two finger typist. Someone can get pretty damned fast and efficient with typing using only a couple fingers on each hand, even faster than some others who use all of their fingers...but they will never be as good as they possibly can unless they go back and unlearn that and do it correctly. Same thing applies. I would suggest you see some guitarists who have corrected the issue and see how it affected their playing after. To be the absolute best you can be, if that is one's goal, then this is something I would strongly suggest that someone correct.
A lot of this also depends on just how good they want to get as well. For example, (extreme example), if someone only ever cares to play AC/DC, Metallica, etc...then yes, getting away with that will be fine. If you're happy with where you are and what you're doing then by all means, stay with it! But if someone is making the claim that they can be just as good had they never switched, I would disagree with that 100%. Cheers!
@@XGLDFchanging picking style isn’t like starting over. i had to change mine once and overtook where i was before in about a day. but its not like it really matters if it works.
Epic cover, buddy!
+1
This cover is truly insane, im still trying to learn all of the song on a strat... at minute 15, was wondering if you used a backing track or something because I tried looking everywhere but I couldn't find anything. Would be great to know!
Nice palyback video - wonderful.
I'm sorry that you have a hearing problem.
I think you're the Person on the Top of The World...or out of this world... unbelievable..
Haha! Wow, thank you so much man!
That Shokran Necklace tho. Good f job
You are way too good!! How are you doing this? The album's like 2 days old lmao
Reminds me of Marty Friedman somehow 👏
Você é ligeiro demais. Incrível.
With ad
How you take this song in few hours later. Covered clearly with no mistake.
i miei complimenti. bravissimo ;)
fucking beast is back!!!
Grande, complimenti! L'unica cosa, peccato che non avevi la JP7, soprattutto per l'arpeggio a metà, in clean la differenza la sento, ma magari son solo io. :P
16:27
The Astonishing full cover corrupted video please recovered video.
Hey, man. I remember you did The Astonishing full guitar cover, did you removed it?
Unfortunately it was suddenly blocked due to copyright issues :/
Esiste una tab creata da te?? E se sì, esiste un modo per ottenerla? 🙏🏻
Dawn of Chromatica
Mouth wide open scratching my skull
Hahaha
Amazing cover! Well done!
Could you please share guitar solo backing track that you used (I'm interested in 2 solos starting from 11:52). Thanks!
Thank you! I don't have a backing track, I'm playing on top of the original audio. Just with my recorded guitar extra loud in the mix.
OK, I see. Thanks! )
That picking tho
Right?
@@XGLDF so unique brother
Gila lu ah.. 👍
Fk that
How!!???
Just when and how?
By "transcending time"!
15:00 Marty friedman play dream theater solo be like..
Damn it! I thought hiding my face wouldn't reveal my identity!
Is this on Standard or A tunning?
Standard B tuning
Your picking is funny bro wkwkwk
I get that all the time haha. But it's more "common" than you might expect. Marty Friedman's picking style is super similar just to name a famous example. From my experience, it seems to be common among guitarist like myself who, when we started out, didn't have a teacher and didn't look things up on the internet until we were already used to "holding it funny".
@@XGLDF I think your picking style is really cool
So Fastttt....
Dude your picking technique is so bizarre. Please tell me a little bit about it!
I get that a lot. But in reality there are more people playing like this than you might imagine. Marty Friedman is an example of a similar picking style.
But the origin for it, in my case, is just that when I started playing I didn't have a teacher, nor did I look things up on the internet. This was just what felt natural to me. I never even payed attention to like a photo of a guitarist at the time to see how they held the pick.
After a year however, some people told me I had to change the picking style, or it would hold me back. But that's when I found people like Marty Friedman. And I thought, if he can do it like this, so can I. So I never changed it.
Dude, just hand your brain for medical research. GJ. I would give you two times Like if possible.
Too much talent for covers. Stop this because you already learned everything needed from looking at others.
Focus on writing music now, which is a different skill. But maybe one day we will have yet another one able to write the higher level of music that this really is.
I already write music. Why would I need to "stop this" for that? :) I play in a progressive metal band called Seventh Dimension where I write all the music, and I also write orchestral music for various visual arts, on top of that I release solo stuff and been part of several collaborative projects.
Making covers is just what I do as my nerdy side projects, because it's fun :)
