    Wow i Was view 7777.
    Anyway this video proves he is the beast. Saw him live in January and he was flawless. TDEN solo is the best seriously.
    One thing people forget is he shreds using that pcks he uses, when alot of other fast players use thinner picks like .73s. this is what gives him alot more balls in his overall tone than most guys.

  • this is not a fact ...

    this is not a fact for sure... the bodybuilding thing i mean. zakk and lynch always were kinda "loose" in their playing after all. petrucci is an awesome musician and guitarist... he 's got amazing phrasing... but he never was a technical genious... its not like PG or lane who are fuckin unreal...i am a fan of john but i still think he is overrated

    hopefully u are not saying he is sloppy by comparing him to george lynch or zakk wylde who, both, have gotten sloppy with bodybuilding.

    Petrucci's fast licks are sloppy? I don't think they're bad at all. I think anyone would love to play like him.

  • Oatmeal for ...

    Oatmeal for breakfast, stretch out and go for a jog, chicken breast for lunch with green beans, drink some coffee and then you will increase your speed. Drink lots of water, then load up with carbs, wake up to being faster on the guitar without putting years in. Otherwise, take drugs then lose your ability when you run out. Sorry John makes my brain stop working corrently.

    I don't think he's ever lifted a weight in his life. I think his just shreds so hard that his muscles expanded outwards. It also helps to be part bear.

    This video is showing his speed capability. It's not like he's actually trying to play a complicated guitar solo. Plus I think it is more of his tone than his playing.
