To my mind, this is John Petrucci in his prime. Not this particular gig, but that era... Still love him, but I think his star was shining brightest between 1992 and 1999.
+Julian Scott I think after the year 2000, Petrucci just plays for the fans. like in the 90s you could tell he had an 'adventurous' style and he was open to all sounds. now he is just known for incredibly fast shredding..
Yep. Can't get enough of his improvising style from those days.
To me, SDOIT album is one of the best, and I even concider the Train of Thought album as a hit. The last song from that album "In the name of God", frickin masterpiece.
I disagree. He plays no worse now and he's still creative.
What is a God on his prime?
I miss THIS Petrucci...
+rafamcm what do you mean? i dont know if is my impression,but he looks sounds cleaner than early days
+rafamcm his soul left off with that Ibanez he's holding.
Idk man six degrees was pretty amazing and that was with Ernie balls - I do agree though the 90s stuff was terrific
+rafamcm Its called aging ! and its happening to us too x)
+dnkzz it seems he got a reverse aging. He used to be all around and now just metal. I used to be metal and now play all around because aging LOL
An hour and twenty minutes of Petrucci at his prime that I've somehow managed to never see? YAUCE PLEASE.
Ola England posted another one.
I miss the old Ibanez days so much......
John is my all time favorite guitar hero, especially this period. He was so cool, chill, upstanding and funny, you just couldn’t help being inspired.
I'm sitting up front, This was a Sunday. wow time flies. .
That Ibanez is awesome! I'm sure the Music Man is a fine guitar, but his signature Ibanez were just untouchable!
Agree
Back when John Petrucci was....*"John Petrucci!!"*
+kigawman seriously, this couldn't be more true. I'll always love the guy, but good lord his phrasing/writing/sound was so at it's peak during this era.
+kigawman yes agreed before building too much muscles.
+kigawman I think it's his muscle. He should start toning done and have more like a climber physique than a body builder's. Maybe the old John will resurface. :D
+kigawman I politely disagree with you all. I think it's more the nostalgia factor that makes you like the old john petrucci more. His technique is definitely still as good and even better in certain areas. When it comes to DT's songs I do find their older stuff had mor charm and they didn't change their sound over the years. But to say his muscles have decreased his ability to play is just wrong, listen to his 2015 live recording and unless your'e dellusionnal you'll see he's just as good as in 1998.
+kigawman I couldn't agree with you more !
Those were the best of times.
Good old times ain't never coming back...been nearly 20 years
If your not already, you have GOT to hear this on HEADPHONES!!! Holy God!!!! At about 37:35 he switches on this AMAZING stereo delay that is just SO . . . . just WOW!!
That luscious chorus......just floats between the ears...🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm not a huge prog fan but gotta hand it to him for reinventing the harmonic intervals from somewhat typical and common placements into interesting soundscapes never yet assembled in the era leading into our post modern present day take on music. boss
this was awesome to watch. thanks for sharing
Wow. I’ve been a guitarist and metal head for 20ish years but never really gave JP / Dream theater more than a cursory listen. This recording was incredibly enjoyable. I love the conversational tone he talks to the audience with.
Amazing!!! Thanks so much. Miss the Ibanez days.
perfect ! my idol musicians in The word ... Very Nice .. good
Now ......that is my favorite player. Petrucci in his PRIME ..... best player ever ¡¡¡¡¡
Such a musician. Thanks for sharing.
He was a beast indeed.. but i can clearly see a big difference between then and now .His live performances now are better than ever.
Saw him in Tampa for images and words tour. Excellent. Saw him solo at a G3 show here in Orlando. Blew my mind
The absolute technical mastery coupled with tone and musicality of John Petrucci has left me totally inspired to work harder at my own playing.
Wow!! I was at this guitar Clinic this was the moment and day my commitment to guitar playing changed to practice every day .
this was Petrucci when he still in human form
+roolee2k Because he look like a Dwarf Lord nowadays lol.
Haha in those times a Majesty would look rare and big for him
How nice to hear a tribute to Prince. Surely one of the greatest examples and inspirations to musicianship that the rock world has ever given to the instutution of music.
This gonna be my favourite video for months to come
I love watching a great guitarist who then says “yeah, I built this riff from an EVH lick”
Just amazing....I'm happy to be able to watch the entire thing from the Musicians Institute. Btw...this is by far the best ever cover of Purple Rain. Also, for those interested, you can find him doing the Comfortably Numb with Queensryche....he does the second solo....BUT when you hear the first sound from his guitar you know God is playing....anyway, there are many amazing guitar players around the world, and I want to pay tribute to all of them for making the world better with their music, but for me John is No One.
Very best sound of JP... I want to be there
YOU ARE A GREAT GUITAR PLAYER BRO.... I HAD A FRIEND AND NEIGHBOR NAMED JAZZ AND HE WAS JUST AS TALENTED LIKE YOU AND ... YOU REMINDED ME OF HIM.... GID BLESS YOU BOTH.
I like the last note John played with the wah at the very end of this video:“WAAAAUW”! 👌🏻
John you make it look so easy but youur smoothness is non nervous
One thing I miss about modern Petrucci is the jazzy, almost fusion-esque style to his playing. He's still capable of it, of course, but there's been a definite stylistic shift towards a more metal sound. Again, it's not a matter of something turning off and another thing turning on, merely that he plays (at least in public) less of the almost jazzy stuff he used to sometimes pull out. But all that said and done, Petrucci has nothing to prove to the likes of me. I could pick dozens of incredible pieces of playing and composition from every single year of that man's creative life that are show-stoppers - he's an incredible player and has a fantastic ear (and discipline) for melody. One only has to listen to the dramatic, almost orchestral lines in his outro solo to "Pale Blue Dot", or the solo in "The Best of All Times", or ........... holy shit ........ 1:01:56 ........that amazing improvised variation on the album with that beautiful bend!
I remember going to the library at mi to watch this video almost weekly. Master of the instrument
Did you go to MI? I’m thinking of going
Yes I did. It was a blast!
Great player....perfect !!
As for him not "fading" like many others have, this is no surprise. He's a consummate musician and from day one, he has always prefaced anything that's instructive with the need and importance of warming up exercises, and he is no doubt, a very disciplined player. I also understand the different opinions about him being better back then than he is now, because of his style or guitar choices. But I don't see it that way, I believe he's just evolving with the times and his age so that his music and playing won't become stagnant. In addition to that, he's still the main song writer, lyricist and producer for the band. Liquid Tension, G3, he's a workhorse for sure. As well, if he was exactly today as he was back then, there would be those saying that he's not "keeping up with the times" or that he's "stuck in the past". Besides, its not ours to question the "creator".
Genius. Awesome!
dick
For me the early 90s up to this represent my favorite era for both JP and DT. Perhaps they've only gotten better as some would argue and I won't disagree but this era is my personal favorite.
Amazing
1998 seemed so modern at the time!
This sounded good! Big ups foo
27:30 - 28:00 Absolute amazing. Tireless!
The old good Petrucci sound on Ibanez
JP is the master of guitars all of time..
john p., please play your ibanez guitars again... :-)
Gold
Reading the comments... Lot of nostalgia for THIS john petrucci. Unfortunately, i have to agree. In the '90s he was absolutely unique and his riffs, tone, playing... and guitar (!) were so beautiful. Seems to me he's somebody else now. Those were the days. Thanks John for a decade of fantastic music.
I have that model JPM100-P2. My favorite ERA of Petrucci.
master class petrucci sir
I have seen many of my favourite 80s-90s guitarists taking a toll over the years...Top on the list would be George Lynch (who occasionally sounds like he can't play anything anymore), Kirk Hammett (who has been degenerating for a few years now)..even the almighty Yngwie started fading and becoming sloppy, his phrasing is out of the window. However, John Petrucci has stayed professional throughout. I know many might love his old "honk" Triaxis sound a bit more, (personally as a Triaxis enthusiast I do as well, but his modern JP2C+ is also a dream rig), but no one can say that John "faded" over the years. His technique is still up there and spot on.... Its just that he couldn't get any better because he was in God mode since the 90s anyway...Another one that doesn't seem to fade at all is Steve Vai.....And MAB.
Don't forget Michael Romeo!
@@coreyyates3385 and Satch!
Johnny Hiland, Frank Marino IMHO are still the best!!!
Buckethead is also top form
@@coreyyates3385 Michael Romeo is on par with all the best but his composing is unmatched by anyone in the rock/metal genre, imo. It's too bad that he doesn't have the recognition that he deserves. Symphony X is more of a connoisseurs metal. Baddest band on the planet, imo. That is if their still a band?
Its amazing just watching him keep hitting the pickup toggle every 2 seconds and never miss a beat. Its such a fluid action. Sometimes hes hitting it for no reason (making sure?) or missing the right position other times which is interesting. More a gear problem than anything. Wonder what exactly hes done to fix that since.
Creo que la fanatica se divide en dos secciones, la de antes del 2000 y la despues de, sin duda alguna albums como WDADU, IAW, o Awake, tienes toda la dscencia y calidad composicional de Jhon en su maximp esplendor, lo que viene despue tiene una elaboracion mas compleja pero no le llega a los talones a esta era, esta era lo es todo, el tono, los solos, la improvisacion es mas rica a mi parecer, JP todo su esplendor 😎
MARIO LOPEZ THANKS FOR HELPING THE RAZA... DIOS TE BENDIGA.... MUCHACHO....
these guys are all drooling!
how does this guy live with himself?
I miss so much those ibanez old days.....
i also miss the ibanez days, he was just better imo, his tone was better sounding as well
what a freaking fucking great song from 20:00 to 29:00.... John is John and anyone else is just an imitation :P
+Bassan Karame Purple Rain by Prince
This song is pure feeling 🕊️🕊️
JP I buy you a Triaxis and a JPM, but please bring back this tone
Like that soft melody sound it’s in a realm of its own great landings on a hard drive of diversity
haha purple rain! love John Petrucci
King guitar petrucci
The Best Petrucci
Love the white socks.
07:50 the best solo!
John Petrucci with Ibanez shows a really magical arsenal!
Best
Its funny when he talks he is in gear 0 ...so chill and zen.. and paradigm shifts to gear 7 to take you for a ride! The human sports car here fellows!
Damn that purple rain is SWEET
Nice knees.
Which piece of gear does he use to control the temperature of the sun?
John Petrucci + Ibanez = Som Master.
💙
I loved the Ibanez JPM stuff way more than the the new stuff. I owned one of each...Ive owned five or six JPM MM series but the MM stuff to me was better
Wait...you just contradicted yourself. Which guitars did you like better?
28:30 - 28:40...holy f***! Other guitar players likely will find this particular excerpt particularly impressive, alternate picking-wise.
Wow... I miss this Petrucci and this tone.
for god's sake guys purple rain was by prince not Andy timmons
+Avisek Ganguly Hahahahahahaha
+Avisek Ganguly Of course we all know that Purple Rain is Prince`s song. But John played it`s instrumental version created by Andy Timmons.
I'm in the crowd..;-)
Damn😮
The Moooooooooooonster!
Okay John petrucci you are a rock star legend your music is very powerful John and with a lot of consort on hold now it doesn't look very good for now this virus is perfectly every were now so keep on rocking so that dream theater can get a little stronger okay rock fan alex
Are you ever going to do a clinic/ Orlando FL/ 2022? That would be great
How did he set up his delay during purple rain? Appreciate some advice ;)
Hello. Which power amp he named where he speak about gear?
Was I the only one that thought Count of Tuscany when he demonstrated the one note different scales thing?
JPM 🤘🏻
Watching this further solidifies how much better his tone was back then. Not sludgy and compressed like now. Much more punch. Playing seems to have more fun in it. I know people change as they get older, but it also shows that change just for the hell of it isn’t always an improvement.
Is is Purple Rain?? Beautiful
Cool time...
+Max Music listening to JP play at this time, I felt he's more acquainted with his alternate picking technique. I can hear the notes clearly compare to the way he play these days. He's not the same as when he was one of those uber guitarists in the late 90's.
+kigawman I think he's still the king of the Alternate Picking department, but the clarity on the notes during this era was due to him using lower gain than today. Nowadays he got his amp's gain really hot and being pushed by some sort of boost (TOT era) or preamps (Jp13/Majesty). Just watch his demo for Dimarzio's Crunch lab/liquifire with his BC&SL rig for his uber-gained modern tone.
+JohnnyLayneGTR no, I saw rusty cooley at a clinic yesterday, hes the king of alt. picking, hes so insane. But petrucci has much better phrasing.
JP Signature Acoustic Ibanez?!?! That'd have been cool.
PRINCE....
Brasil 🤘
intellegent muscian.
It's cool how many people name check Steve Morse... King Edward is obvious, but only guitar players know Steve. First time I took my wife to see Steve she asked, "why it this guy now a household name?"
i saw a few mistakes , this must have been just before he became a robot and never missed a note :)
Hi sir. I'd a talk with on facebook but couldn't get a more proper opinion.
It is that I own prs guitar . So I wanted to know which strings do u suggest I should use .
1. Ernie ball rps
2. D'addario exl110 regular gauge 10,13,17,26,36,46
3.D'addario exl110 bt balanced tension gauge 10,13.5,17,25,34,46
4. Elixir or rotosound
5. Dunlop.
6. D'addario nyxl 10 regular gauge 10,13,17,26,36,46
7. D'addario nyxl balanced tension gauge 10,13.5,17,25,34,46 .
I'll go. With the gauge and strings that u suggest.
Anyone knows jp delay settings on this era the ping pong delay ??
Wow, first time I've heard Petrucci covering Andy Timmons. Definitely both heroes of mine.
+Daniel Verberne Oops, I was wrong. Seems Petrucci played alongside Timmons on "Guitar Battle" album back in 1998.
+Daniel Verberne wow where does that happen in here?
+Dennis N. Starting around 19:58, he starts playing Purple Rain which I think is a Timmons track, but not sure now.
No its not. But thx for position
+Daniel Verberne Prince - Purple Rain
Even Petrucci in his prime can't play Universal Mind flawlessly.
