Honestly the fact the Neon was born from a failed Tomo lesson should tell every guitarist how incredible Tomo is as a teacher and musician.

Great thing about that chord at 7:04 is that John Petrucci uses that to transition in a dream theater song, "Metropolis Part 1". He uses that chord to add feeling in other songs on later albums, but the way he uses F sharp to kind of transition into different sections is inspiring when you hear it.

Tomo is one of those KZfaq guitar players that you can easily overlook simply because he is the most humble KZfaq guitar player you will see. Humility and Excellence is his MO. Thanks for making this video. It was great fun watching you two interact and have some fun together. Much respect to both of you guys. This was an A++ video. 🤩
