John Petrucci Geeks Out In Sweetwater's Guitar Gallery 🎸 

After you watch, give this video a thumbs up and subscribe! 😎🤘

I appreciate that he can play confidently in front of John

Plays John Petrucci signature model in front of John Petrucci, and then tells John Petrucci that the John Petrucci signature model isn’t his “type” of guitar. Priceless!

*John: Hey man. *Me: Forgets every chord ever written.

Someone unknowingly got a guitar that john petrucci played...

That was a really cool interaction. Atticus doesn't seem like a prog metal guy so he wasn't star struck. It was just two guitar nerds geeking out over chords.

Well, there's Atticus having a good day at work.

3:16 JP: I know that exercise *cue traumatic flashbacks of the Rock Discipline DVD*

That was such a beautiful interaction, JPs body language could just tell he wasn’t itching to wrap up the conversation like a lot of famous people would be, I dunno why but there was genuinity there that made that whole conversation classy and pleasurable to watch. Kudos to the other kid, he’s got a good aura. Why’d I just get so much out of two people having a conversation? 😂

John Petrucci is not just an amazing guitarist but amazing person as well.Very cool man.

The kid in this video is the most impressive thing in it. Considering the guitar and JP are also in it, that’s saying a lot! Sweetwater- you have a jem in Atticus. Pun intended

"Yeah so we just check for dents, scratches, electronics, etc" To "Yeah E minor 9th over difference bass notes gives a nice feel."

JP is an immensely talented, yet humble musician. Impossible to not love the guy.

My God that guy is so skilled but seems like John can teach you every little aspect on the instrument, incredible.

Atticus what did you do today? Oh just set up some guitars.

At 7:23 Petrucci’s like: “when are we gigging together?” I would’ve been floored.

Atticus: like, not even really my style of guitar JP: Yeah

Dude holds his own with John.....fantastic.

No pressure performing and playing in front of a guitar DemiGod

That's one of those videos that you just know that if there were no cameras filming this conversation, it would have still happened just like that. Petrucci is focused on Atticus and really interested. And also, the fact that Atticus seems to be just holding back a HUGE "OMG I'm talking to JP" laugh is priceless. Way to go, Sweetwater, one of the best videos on YT today.

Atticus- "Just checking for scratches and dents" JP- holds unscratched guitar against metal zippers on jacket Atticus- 😶

man that was such a nice interaction between the two

I’ve had the good fortune of meeting John. Truly genuine portrait of who he is in this video. Very cool guy, hugely in love with music and guitar. Like all of us.

John should make a new instructional video “Rock Humbleness” he’s the best on that too

Jp: yeah Guy: how Jp: oh Yeah! Guy: dude! That's... Jp:yeee Guy:nice Jp:nice yeee Guy: that was.. Yeah! Jp:yeee you know Guy: yeee awesome Jp:yeee sounds yeah! Guy: I mean.. Yee Jp: oh Yeah thanks Guy yeee yeah oh Jp: yeee

imagine being a petrucci fan, watching this video, and watching him play your guitar.

Give Atticus a show please! Really nice and genuine guy!

Shows JP's humility, it's a never-ending learning and sharing experience. "I never met a man so ignorant I couldn't learn something from him". As much as he's done in the music world he treats this young man with total respect. The guy was a fantastic player too. Just outstanding guys!

The kid got sweet chops and touch,

Playing John Petrucci's signature guitar in front of the man himself must be a little nerve-wracking!

This kids pride in his work.... just one of the many reasons why I only shop sweetwater. Their attention to detail and customer service is hands down unmatched. Quick note, the fact that they assign you your own rep, who you can call to ask questions and whom will go out of their way to get you set up is phenomenal. Having my own person, who knows me and calls to check in and let me know about sales etc is really cool. They are never pressuring to make a sale either, they just like chatting about gear. My rep helped me get a custom color dimarzio pickup one time, was not something they had available, or something they even manufactured.. but he called the manufacturer and set it all up for me, free if any additional costs, and totally did not have to do that.

JP is simply a good good man by heart. He just gave that young fellow an eternal motivation and the story of the life time. Every time i hear JP talking, I am just impressed so much.

John being John. As an all time DT fan and self-taught guitar player, I've always felt that John Petrucci was a music nerd. I really admire and respect that. I love his vocation, his love for the instrument and his way of performing.

John, any time I've seen you in interviews, you reflect a genuine love and respect to anyone you meet. Been a fan since'89... Hopefully someday I'll be able to meet you. My very good friend bought a JP 15 blueberry burst on my suggestion, and he loves it...

JP is a good person. So nice and respectfull to anyone

That was just fantastic to watch. The enthusiasm of Atticus showing his chord voicings on the instrument and not being star struck was one thing but then the interaction between the two almost like father and son was a special moment right there.

If only every guitarist would be this nice and mellow... He really listens to other people, what they have to say.

That kid's day was made and kudos to him for stepping up and playing in front of a guitar god. Not everyone could do that with such confidence. Well done, Atticus.

I have been a Sweetwater customer for many years. Always satisfied with the products & service.

John Petrucci crouched on the floor almost taking a clinic from the young guy inspecting the guitars. Two cool guys.

How nice seeing Gods like Petrucci, coming down from his "Olympus" and being near a simple person like this employee kid... Two thumbs UP!!

I love how this guys is trying so hard to hold back his excitement of meeting John, while in the same time doing a great job, jamming and nerding out with him. I bet he left work that day with a massive grin on his face shouting BEST DAY EVER!!!

Sweetwater is an awesome organization. Atticus and John really hit it off. The kid's got a great personality and is a natural.

MAAAAN, John is TRUE heart !! He is so DOWN to earth, this is why I have been a huge fan of John for so many years... yeah, still a killer guitar player BUT.... he is REAL !!!

Massive props to Atticus for a stellar job in front of a iconic guitarist like John and also major props to Mr. Pettrucci for being one Kool do we n to earth guy. He is such a blessing f or the guitar nation and guitar world to have. Great post from Sweetwater and John🎸🎸🎼😎🎼😎💙💜🎸🎸👍👍👍

Atticus meets John Petrucci 😊

i love JP he is such a kind hearted guy as seen from.the vid

My appreciation of John P has just skyrocketed, this is so down to earth.

Petrucci has the best personality for such a guitar hero.

John: "when are we giggin' together?" That level of humbleness can only come from a great & down to earth kind of person... Awesome!!

Now they need a "Played by JP" sticker.

Mannn that was the most genuine conversation between 2 guitarists I've seen today, it's like seeing 2 people who rarely meet each other and when they do, they just vibe in so well. Great video.

It's amazing how humble John is!!! Great guy!!!

Atticus just got world wide noticed. Good for him and kudos to John for making him feel relaxed enough to just nerd out for a while. Sweetwater is top notch all around.

That conversation between John and the guitar inspector is pure genuine connection. Seems like a free private tutorial. John is very humble, damn!

Can we request an inspection from Atticus upon purchase of a guitar? Lol

John seems like such a cool guy. I wouldn't be able to play in front of him like this kid can. Sweetwater is awesome.

One of the most genuine and loveable videos i've ever watched.... how john gets lost in the moment ... you really see his burning love for the guitar... he's just the best full stop.

With everything going on in the world this put a smile on my face.

Bruh if this isnt the coolest place to work idk what would be

I love that he got totally rabbit trailed with the setup tech! He might be the only heavy metal guitar player that I would let babysit my kids. Ha ha!!

Love that guitar checking dude's attitude, super chill, doing his job, not showing "Hey, John, I can play really good" then non stop shitty shredding.

This is the coolest interaction I have ever witnessed!! Petrucci would remember this guy forever

I really hope Atticus bought that guitar.... Petrucci walks into my work, touches ANYTHING, im taking it home.

This was such a cool video and the very reason why I buy at Sweetwater.. they care about their patrons.. rock on Sweetwater, may you live forever.

It made me happy to see that kids smile the whole time. John your more than a guitar player, you are a hero to so many of us, we love ya John!!

That sweet young talented dude has the time of his life! What a chance and JP is a chill clever guy, what a mensch. Such a nice encounter has we live from time to time.

That was a very good video. The interaction between those two is heart warming and inspiring to me. The young man has got serious chops!✌🏻🤘🏻🎸

Sweetwater is a very cool company altogether. I ordered a Bass guitar from them. Three days later, it was delivered to the door. They even gave me a random call just to see if I was still satisfied with the purchase. So,I will definitely do business with them again. Awesome video. Just don't get much better than that.

What an amazing mentor! JP is the perfect example of humility. Atticus.. u rocked bro and are gonna be famous!

Lucky kid. I met John in 2009. Awesome humble guy with amazing ability.

John is such a good dude! Amazing guitar player!! Good stuff guys!! Rock on!!

I've discovered that once you master an instrument, the only thing you can say to another person who has also obtained mastery is, "Yeah, man." Really cool to see

This was the coolest conversation ever........the more time ticking......the deeper the topic goes in......i wish i could get a job like that guy.....coolest ever

That's about the most pleasant interaction between two appreciators of the guitar I've seen in a long while. John needs to take that young man under his wing because he's very talented and can be quite famous if given the support.

La humildad de Petrucci vale un millon...

Every person who bought that model and color from sweetwater, now is positive John played theirs.

So cool for Petrucci to spend that much time with this young chap. That was friggin awesome

That was awesome. JP has shown time and time again what a top bloke he is. I love how much of a full music nerd he is and he probably made that young bloke's day. No rock star attitude, just a devotion to his craft and the love of sharing it with other people. Classy.

Atticus, super talented and knowledgeable professional!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Petrucci seems like such a cool guy. I haven't played his signature but my MM Stringray from Sweetwater is KILLER!

Love John...Met him several times...He so down to earth...super cool... Love how they are discussing chords...

Came for a video of JP walking around looking at guitars, ended up watching a beautiful moment between two musicians who clearly respected each other. Thumbs up from me.

A wild John in his natural environment.

John seems like such a great guy! Sweetwater has some seriously talented employees! Treat them right and pay them well!

That was awesome. And seeing that Sweetwater has such capable inspection/setup folks on sight actually makes me want to buy from them.

You can just see the joy in their faces!

Such an awesome guy, so down to earth despite being one of the best guitarists on the planet!

That was cool! 👍🏽

That was such a cool tangent. Totally cool to see them geeking out on their love for guitar.

Everything here is awsome, from the guitar to the tech guy to John. Just two guitar loving dudes chatting and playing, John might well be one of the nicest people in rock.

That was cool.

John Petrucci is the nicest superhero ever

John seems like he lights up teaching and playing with Aticus. When someone on the platform like John takes the time for moments like this , it's what dreams are all about man. That made my day and I wasn't even there. I cant even imagine how Aticus felt. And the awesome thing is that John seemed just as thrilled. John, keep inspiring, Luis from Philly

These two are having fun !!

My Black Knight is in there somewhere! Ships Monday! YAY!

Haha "it's like Raiders of the Lost Ark". Good ol' Petrucci

John is such a humble and kind person

JP is such a genuine and encouraging guy. You have to respect that.
