Probably one of the nicest guys in metal, and one of the most humble as well. It's impossible to hate the guy.

I find acoustic guitar so much easier to play tastefully than any electric guitar. I started playing on acoustic and have mostly played acoustic over the years. It's something I'll have to work on over time, the electric is amazing for access to highest frets, legato, sweeps and so forth.

Watching prog fans try to headbang during a concert is hilarious. Some people have no sense of tempo at all, it's hard to listen or see that. Any prog artist I like, I've listened to their songs enough to analyze any change up. You would think that every prog fan would do the same, considering how difficult prog is to play. Don't meet anyone that loves prog but doesn't play any instruments.

@WybjornVR 9 жыл бұрын

The problem is that people feel like they're competing for his attention, and this is when people get weird/inconsiderate. In small settings, it's not hard to get your questions answered, but realistically not everyone there will get attention from him so they get desperate. Hence why they don't do "hang out" meet and greets anymore like many other "less popular" bands do.

his style? He and Jordan Rudess (the keyboardist for DT) did a one night only concert called "A night with Jordan Rudess and John Petrucci" where they played instrumentals. I think that between LTE, DT and this album its awfully hard to find a "style" he doesn't cover....

went to a clinic of his one time at a GC years ago, and our guitarist raises his hand to ask a question and John goes "yea go ahead" and my guitarist asks jokingly, "is it true than when you play a million notes per second people die?" everyone starts laughing right? Petrucci without skipping a beat laughs and responds "I don't know, no ones ever lived to tell about it" and we all started cracking up hahahahahah
