Рет қаралды 174,519
Күн бұрынBreak free from the shackles of single-note lead melodies. Grab your axe and join Dream Theater’s John Petrucci as he opens up new ways of utilizing open-string playing. In this video, he’ll walk you through easy-to-implement techniques-such as pedal tones, triplets, hammers, slides, and aggressive pick attacks-that’ll help you enhance your playing. Whether you’re new to shredding or you’re a pro picker, it never hurts to take the lead from one of Heavy Metal’s most revered guitarists. Tune up, tune in, and get ready to rock.

John Petrucci will always be my favorite guitarist. Always tasty ideas, no genre limitations, and just pure musicianship and humility. One of the most technically talented guitarists alive, and definitely one of the most creative and melodic.

One of the things I love about JP's playing is how he uses open strings and pedal tones. It's the same reason I love Ty Tabor, Alex Lifeson and EVH -- they all use open strings and suspended chords to sound rad. Of course the greatest chord in the whole wide world is the first one in Cygnus X-1 Book II (John loves it too).

Yep, every so often Alex really shines through in JP's playing. For instance, the first time I listened to The Best of Times, starting when JP's electric fades up just before the 3:00 mark, it was like a revelation: totally reminiscent of The Spirit of Radio. It was breathtaking!

Nobody ever really mentions that you can use open strings in lead playing in place of a fretted note almost as a tool to give your left hand more time to move to the next position in the riff. He also really didn't go into chords above the 12th fret that use open strings for octave divides which is something he uses.
