Ryan RichterHOST
Mm-hmm.
Nate MercereauGUEST
And then, yeah, the, the, the sh- the difference for me was that it felt like I was getting the Guitar Player magazines mailed to me, you know, and I would see him, but also, I was on, like, you know, Napster and, like, Morpheus and Kazaa and all that stuff, and, like, just downloading, like, I, I, I don't know, like, I remember just searching for, like, crazy guitar solo, and then, like, stuff would come up, like, with, like, every crazy guitarist's name, like, you know, John Petrucci, Steve Vai, Steve Morse guitar solo.
Ryan RichterHOST
Hmm.
Nate MercereauGUEST
And it's, like, some crazy bootleg or something.
Chris AkinHOST
Don't agree.
Chris AkinHOST
John Petrucci.
NeelyHOST
Okay.
Chris AkinHOST
I mean, and then, you know I hate fucking Dream Theater, but-
Jon GommGUEST
I used to love playing electric guitar all the time.
Jon GommGUEST
And my favorite brand of... electric guitars was Ibanez guitars when I was a kid because I liked Joe Satriani and Steve Vai and Paul Gilbert and John Petrucci and Jennifer Patton and Frank Gambale and all these people.
Jon GommGUEST
I used to get my local guitar store to get an extra copy of the Ibanez catalog each six months or year when it came out.
Jon GommGUEST
And I'd take one home and cut out the pictures and it was really tragic.
Aaron FarleyHOST
like the metal, the metal route too.
Aaron FarleyHOST
Who is the, who's the huge, there's John Petrucci.
Aaron FarleyHOST
You have one guy.
Aaron FarleyHOST
Yeah.
Cameron JohnstonGUEST
I'm kind of the same.
Cameron JohnstonGUEST
like metallica is my favorite band so if we could do something james hatfield i'd be pretty happy enough for that but um but i also am a firm believer that if you're going to collaborate with someone you should be able to do something or you should get someone involved that can't provide something that you can if you know what i mean so again i kind of agree with you if we could get kind of like a like a rob halford or like a you know someone that can you know do something that we can't or again if you got like a a John Petrucci from Dream Theater, you
Marty McAllisterGUEST
know,
Cameron JohnstonGUEST
or Freddie Mercury, if it can be dead, someone dead, you know, get Freddie Mercury in one of our songs.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
Mm-hmm.
DerekHOST
And John Petrucci and Tim Henson and Misha and Rabia and I think another one.
DerekHOST
And so these are huge libraries of devices as well.
DerekHOST
So it's not just John Mayer's settings for the Fender Deluxe, it's John's Fender Deluxe with his
NeelyHOST
Fans don't wanna buy expensive tickets to see musicians miming, but there are instances where those extra tracks are accepted.
NeelyHOST
Wolfgang, Wolfgang Van Halen may have called bands who heavily rely on extra tracks lame as hell, but John Petrucci offered a more forgiving take.
NeelyHOST
He says backing tracks are fine, so long as the guitarist on the stage is playing their asses off.
NeelyHOST
Then, of course, there's the whole other world of fake guitar playing in the online sphere.
Phil McKnightHOST
So I put all my artist guitars.
Phil McKnightHOST
So, so behind me I have my Steve Vai, my Eddie Van Halen, my Nunos, my Sinister Gates, my Stu Hamm, my Joe, my, uh, my John Petrucci guitar, uh, guitars.
Phil McKnightHOST
So what came up in Guitar World was this article [laughs] that made me laugh.
Phil McKnightHOST
It's a short talk, so we'll just talk about it real quick.
Phil McKnightHOST
Those are way impre- more impressive numbers than I kinda pictured.
Phil McKnightHOST
Um, the, the reason is, is 'cause people always think there are only a few guitar players on the planet Earth that can sell these mega number guitars.
Phil McKnightHOST
Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Eddie Van Halen are the three biggies for sure.
Phil McKnightHOST
Now John Mayer, we see him hitting too, right? And by the way, this is always a funny thing to me 'cause it doesn't always translate to the most popular, the biggest, you know, selling artist, things like that.
Nik NocturnalHOST
Mm
Chris WisemanGUEST
... "Yeah." And, uh, 'cause John Petrucci was a guest, so I'm like, "Yeah-
Nik NocturnalHOST
Oh, sick
Chris WisemanGUEST
...
Chris WisemanGUEST
I'm gonna-
Nik NocturnalHOST
Yeah
Chris WisemanGUEST
... meet John Petrucci.
Chris WisemanGUEST
Yeah, I gotta go." Um, but a kids in one of the classes were talking, "Yeah, John Petrucci's nephew has this band Periphery." And I'm like, "Oh, cool.
LunaHOST
And I'm like, wow, this is really interesting.
LunaHOST
I write a lot of the songs for Sky Museum with the guitars and stuff, and I run off of the NeuroDSP stuff with John Petrucci plugins and whatnot.
LunaHOST
And then I run on the Solar, the 7-string Solar.
LunaHOST
And I'm always trying to think of like ways to do MIDI changes, like patch changes as the song plays.
