John Petrucci (Dream Theater) talks about his new Music Man guitar, working with DiMarzio & Ernie Ball, his live performances v. studio work, technique & testing new gear.
He was really a master guitar and composer obviously, thoughts about all his concept start from the album image and worgs until the last album, it is really really epic. And he describes all of even without change it. He was really 2 phenomenal guitarist, all the guitarist shoulf gve him a salute..
What I find so great about guys like Petrucci and Paul Gilbert is they truly appear to enjoy sharing their knowledge and even their tricks with other guitarists. Guitarists like Petrucci are not full of themselves and have nothing to prove to anyone, they truly love playing and making music.
Obviously you haven't gone thru any of their albums. Their music is somehow classified as Progressive Rock, very technical and well written. Done some research about this genre from wiki, found out that this music is not for everybody. But most of the people who appreciate it have higher intelligence level. Not saying all, but most.
Man, the sound... The sound of his rig, is the most perfect sound of all rigs in the entire universe! He and Mike Portnoy surely pay attention in Berklee lessons of gears!
Alnico 8 was used by several pickup makers in the early 1980s. I've always found it to be a little brittle-sounding, compared to some of the other Alnico formulas. However, we might use it if we find a situation where it might fit.
Mauro Ranieri I don't. Sounds like an EMG pickuped guitar a little bit, doesn't have the tone of passive Crunch Lab and LiquiFire, the tone is to thick(couldn't find a better word) and way too bright. That much metal kind of tone isn't good for DT music. Yeah, it's a metal band but it's prog, not trash.
simply one of the best videos ever created... just beautiful ! with everything in it.. the guitarist, the guitars, the topics he talked about ... beautiful !
Joe Enders and both of the guitar guys (even wording it like this makes me shudder...) are johns. I guess that's the primary they didn't go for marco minnemann instead of mangini :>
I love how John Petrucci is one of the most incredible guitar players of all time but always remains humble. He never shy's away from talking about other guitar players techniques and how he incorporates them into his own.
This is probably one of my favorite sounds from him. The most AGGRESSIVE crunch I have heard. Check it out for yourself at 3:45. The chord is full of every good sound possible.

John Petrucci is one of my favorite guitar players! I put him in my list of the top 5 greatest! John is also a really good person, for example in this vid you can tell he is very down to earth and easy to talk with a "good soul"...Also thanks Larry for posting this vid up on youtube :) you make the greatest affordable guitar pickups!! I always use your great pickups in my guitars! :)
dude is so NOT a rock head...the intelligence behind the playing. no lame sunglasses like a lead singer would be wearing, no lame headband...just a dude talking shop. Steve Morse...finally someone gave him his due! Dixie Dregs.
great great video. Very useful, very musical and very professional like all your pieces of work. Of course the master stars in this video but the same goes to you too Mr. Dimarzio. Extremely good work. Please keep uploading all these videos for all us guitar fans and fellow musicians. All the best from Athens, Greece.
Thanks Larry, great to be able to talk to you unlike other companies that don't even have a person to do so. I've always been a big fan, and for all my guitars it's either been Seymour Duncan's or Dimarzio's. Keep up the great work man.
I have the Crunch lab and Airnorton S in my Walnut body Caparison Horus HGS. Phenomenal pickups. Extremely happy with them! John is a true inspiration.
I agree. When I met John in July he took the time to shake hands, sign my Music Man, take pictures, and have a good conversation. Since that day he has been elevated from my inspiration to my role model.
This is why I have been working my ass off and studying as hard a I can in college, for having a guitar colelction and buy a huge amp. Every time I watch a guitar review I got even more motivated foe being the best worker I can, a side for been studying what I love!
