Very helpful info. Particularly because, as a music teacher I've been trying to think of new ways to teach students to navigate scale positions more efficiently. Love Petrucci and love Dream Theater.
Thank You John, your teachings are the best. But when you add them to your relaxed and calming Soul, it just makes it a pleasure to practice! Thanks Again, ☮️
John is simply amazing!!! I love watching all videos,and he oozes knowledge like now tomorrow,i would love to learn from him,John I can't get enough of your videos keep it up,looking forward to seeing you in October!!!
The second shape he talks about can be seen on the second solo of SCARED (AWAKE album). There he implies the sixteenth feel along with a change of the accentuation. You can hear the very interesting effect at 08:43
This is just amazing. I just started, chords etc still very new to me, but i never seem to find the reason why things are done a certain way making it hard for me to imagine/realize why or how something is done. When John explained the reasoning behind his training technique around @13:00 it just instantly made sense on why he is doing it this way... I really wish more people explained stuff this way...
I am surprised at so many negative comments (although it seems some are facetious). Are people afraid that is they practice this technique, they would become a shredder? That would be horrible. Anyway, I thought this video was brilliant - way better than any lesson I ever had. I wish I had known this technique back in the 80's when I started playing.
incredible stuff! anyone else realize that the 6 note version of the 3 notes per string is basically one of the main patterns Michael Keene plays in his shredding stuff?
Both have done it before. Paul Gilbert recently did a series for Sweetwater. All episodes are here on RU-vid. He also did a series for Guitar World years ago called Shred Alert!. Guthrie Govan did one for Guitar World years ago. It is called Professor Shred.
Guess it's the most efficient way to play! Cause ultimately u have to play live, and in standing position, and this way way of playing she u sit emulates the standing position if u see closely!
This video makes me wanna dust off the ole guitar and give it another shot. So many times I tried to go back to it, pull out my scale sheets and my 5 patterns, and try to play them up and down with my metronome. After a couple weeks, I guess I would get kind of stuck or "bored". I'd think to myself, great I'm playing scales, now what do I do. And gradually just put it aside again.
Yo.... i am going to give this to my guitar teacher so he can explain what in the world Professor Petrucci is brewing here. This is the olympic pool for me and i was doing ok in the 6 foot area
In holland there is a guy, coming from Spain ones a year with a boat, to ride his horse in a diffrent town each year. This guy comes to bring gifts for the little children. When johns hair and beard would grow grey/white, he would look exactly like him. Would be awesome to see this dude beying JP riding his horse, with his guitar and playing the Rocks out of the streets he is riding on... The kids wouldnt even notice that it is a diffrent guy, only he got bigger arms this year ;) With guitar would make the horseride a lot cooler for the daddy's to be there \m/ \m/ Great tutorial... makes me notice i dont know shiiiit about the neck, besides the knowledge my left hand sucks on stretching. Helps me improve alot though
John plays Mesa but that stack looks like a Marshall solid state , and I’m sure they cover it because of monetary reasons so they don’t have to pay the brand for having it on their video or that’s what I’m guessing the reason is.
John is a devout Mesa guy, and endorser. I've rarely seen a clip he doesn't manage to work in a plug, but he's right. Nothing sounds like a boogie...only thing close is a Kemper profile of a boogie. Damn Kemper. Simulated world, friggin matrix bullshit...
I know this is a long time ago, but the 2 note per string patterns he plays here actually makes 7th chord arpeggios it E minor. The first one is a C major 7 chord, so the chord he playe was a C major 7 chord. The ones he’s playing are common voicings with the root notes on the low E or A strings.
When John says he plays these in all positions - does that mean he starts on any fret on which the particular scale note falls on the low e string? Or is it something else?
He’s referring to the 7 forms of the 3 notes per string major scales, if I’m understanding you correctly. Here’s a good video that walks you through them, once you have them down you’ll understand how to do these exercises he shows all around the neck, because he starts the video assuming we know them. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--qk1bIX29Y4.html
@Adika Titut Triyugo the Majesty is mahogany with maple cap. Gotta give that to Les Paul, it works. Outside that I've seen more Stingray basses than anything else, and they sure as hell ain't light. You can feel the quality inn thier builds just picking one up.
It’s funny how some of these people are saying they would never implement this into their playing. Bitch you really think you’re good enough to practically implement this technique into your playing lol
BigStarch96 Just do 'alt-prtscn', open MS Paint, 'cntl-v' Then save the image file. Give it a name that will make sense 5 yrs from now so you can find it...like "Petrucci guitar world lesson 2018 01" the 01 is file 1, 02, 03, etc gives you 99 potential image files to print out as book and get it spiral bound.
Ahh, thank you. Your right. I don't know what I was thinking. I was probably going through these scales and going deaf to the english language at the time.
Shit. I have been playing guitar for 9 years and I never learned any music theory, scales ( I learn a few when I started but I don't remember any). I really need to learn scales!!!!
Scales can be a great tool for analysing music. When writing/developing music, trusting your ears is far more important. Scales can be a shortcut to find out what could work, but they can limit yourself if you forget to break the rules from time to time, you imprisoned yourself in the scales you're using.
+ you may learn how to choose notes that work together well without referring to the modes. You can perfectly come up with your own scales if you just invest some time into soloing over different chord progressions and listening very careful. It's a different approach and certainly not as fast as using the modes. But at the same time you learn how to mix your own colours instead of using the ones others have prepared for you.
Well actually I do love music theory myself, though it hasn't been much help for me when it comes to songwriting. It seems like my hands just know which chords to play.
Oh God having done 20 years of all this don't bother if you want to be a musician as opposed to a scaley shredder. Still enjoy Marty Friedman type stuff though very melodic and emotive while interesting.
John is as melodic as anyone, he just happens to have the technical skills of some sort of deity...his gig is progressive, that's thier thing, and thier fan base. Can't let that friggin Mozart wanna be on the keys out run us can we? No, of course not. His choice of notes and phrasing are awesome... Alex Skulnick is another one that's misbranded, though he's gone a long way to demonstrate that fact. Shredding thrasher to trans siberan orchestra to 3 piece jazz...that's a lot of ground.

am i the only one thought that his guitar is kinda smaller than a standard size or he is just a big guy??
Ive played a majesty at the store before and they’re a little compact, that could be a placebo effect from how light they are though. I met JP at G3 earlier this year and he felt just a bit shorter than me (I’m 6’1”) but he is definitely a larger man lol.
Syonys yeah i kind of wish they had a pointy-er one, to choose from.. oh well.. id sacrifice the headstock to be able to afford and have one a majesty 7-string.. heres to shorter term goals i guess!
@@styxxhs8048 I can't get into the Majesty, the teardrop thing kills it for me. We should petition music Man to build us one pointy guitar with a redesigned head...the sales would redirect the concept. I can't afford to get a GOOD Jackson anymore, custom shop kicks off about 4K with no custom shit added...
Arpeggios and scales. are. not. melody. All these are fine exercises to work dexterity, but don't confuse that with melody or you'll end up like any shredder that goes "blah" through every songs and doesn't say (play) anything memorable.
Dude got Alesis for a moniker and talking bout shelf life? LMAO, I guess you oughta know...btw, when is your instructional vid gonna be featured? Album release party? Something? Quit trolling bitch, nobody made you watch it...
