Dude, this is freaking amazing. Your chops are out of this world and also this song is an amazing pick - I love old school prog, fusion, Tool, etc. and I have no idea what song you are even playing here. But what's crazy is that usually when YT sends a shredder like you to my feed I bask in the musicality and the awesomeness of cool time signatures; here, your editing skills match - if not surpass - your guitar work. I recently got some new gear and only just started wondering how to film and record with more than 1 camera at different angles, yet you've got it dialed in - lighting, background, multiple video feeds, multiple overdubs, insets of DAW settings, and above all a silky smooth editing of all of it. Kudos!
I was on the verge to buy Arch Petrucci. Then I saw this and the other video where you analyze it more in depth. Instantly bought, bro. Your playing and your tone is sick!
FUCK I LOVE YOUR TECHNIQUE AND YOUR STYLE!!! OMG this phrasing is insanely beautiful. Thank you for bringing fresh air back to metal. I have regained hope.
Mind is blown. I would have believed this was Petrucci and Tosin Abasi jamming together on one track. And it’s you solo offering. Amazing. Question how does this stack up to your head rush units?
I just downloaded the demo today and i am blown away, this is by far the best plugin i have ever encountered, been a long time BIAS FX user before, but this is next level, as is your playing - so good, right on point !!! your doing ell sir! :) Chers from France
Damn those melodies are great and your technique is so smooth, love it! Still can't believe how sweet sounds this Archetype has. I was blown away when I first stumbled upon Archetype Plini and after that been huge fan of NDSP, their cab sims are off this world. Anyway, Archetype Petrucci is massive improvement to already the very best amp/cab sims. I've kinda felt that the pricing is a bit too high, but with this one, I'm all in!
This sound is so fine.... it takes me back to my high school days playing Dynasty Warriors in my PS2. I will be listening to this when Empires 9 comes for sure. Btw... beautiful colors on your guitar!
Completely FUCKING mental! I'm always blown away by how clean and aggressive your playing is, dude, and I know how much of a fan of Petrucci you are. I hope he sees this at some point.
Im a huge fan of yours after watching and hearing that track! The phrasing is unbelievable! First of all the playing its not only technical as hell but melodic and emotional! And the legatos is probably as clean as it gets! Unreal performance
Great tones, phrasing, melody, rhythm, guitar...just awesome!. Headbanging tune with a melody that sticks in your head, I love it. Once I saw the notification that this video was out I had the same expression on my face as you did at 0:11 ! Your music makes me want to pick up the guitar and play! All of your music is an inspiration to want to play better and say something with the instrument. Thanks so much!
That's the first time I'm watching you man and I'm speechless. Your playing style is smooth like petrucci's and your finger's moves are precise and small. Keep rocking 🔥
Al has technique for days, but a lot of videos are just miming to the best takes, all comp'd together. I think that's fine, but I wouldn't get too discouraged by these vids.
Practice makes perfect :) Source: I used to play guitar for a few good years, practiced for HOURS every day, and can now play Dream Theater songs without much issues. Just train, and over time you'd improve such that you'd have the control, knowledge
Bro... excellent song, performance and tone. Damn, ( pulls out Credit Card & logs into NDSP account ) looks like I'm going to have to pull the trigger on this plugin. I already kind of knew i was going to get it eventually.
