Hardest John Petrucci Solo Lesson with Tabs

[@OzzGuitar]

Thanks for your great support guys. Let me know if you have any questions and what do you want to see in the next video?

[@FreekLoad]

Dear Ozz, In 9:09 you mention that a next video with the correct TAB will follow, but it looks like the solo in the last part of the video already has the correct TAB. Correct?

[@Bardish]

I can vouch that he played it in front of my eyes back in 2006 during a guitar lesson!! My beloved teacher💗

[@OzzGuitar]

Thanks man! It’s been a long time wouwww🤘🤘🤘

[@lusciousfrenchies3254]

Thanks for the verification that he can play guitar. We definitely needed that. 🤣🤣

[@Bardish]

@@lusciousfrenchies3254 i am talking about jealous internet warriors who claim he is speeding up. He is not speeding up, actually he can even go faster.

[@lusciousfrenchies3254]

Wow! Thank you for the verification. I wouldn't of been able to get sleep tonight.

[@Bardish]

@@lusciousfrenchies3254 you are welcome👍🤦‍♂️

[@stevieholland3579]

This solo is the definition of absurdity. Well done on it

[@jamesnichols5998]

And I love that you played everything through at slowed speed with the tabs on screen. This is probably the best solo breakdown I've ever seen. You are the man!

[@OzzGuitar]

Cheers man. Thanks a lot!

[@broncoxy]

Man, this was such a great tutorial! I was never reall good at playing solos, but I gave myself the challenge to learn this one and your video helped me a lot in learning and understanding how to do it~ Thank you!

[@DanielVerberne]

Brilliant playing. It's abundantly clear that you've spent a lot of time to break down the mechanics of much of the playing - and you've got tons of soul.

[@andaccnar3911]

Müthiş ve ilham verici bir ders çalışmalarınızı, severek izliyoruz çok teşekkürler.

[@EmreNacre]

How do you like your solo? John Petrucci: Yes.

[@OzzGuitar]

🤣🤣🤣

[@alanriot2099]

Someone: Why is this the hardest solo of your career if you have troubles to play it live? Even though you composed it... John Petrucci: Yes 😎

[@oztels]

Thanks for the half speed section and detailed explanation in all parts. I think this is the main difference from other youtubers. They are focusing on how they play awsome, fast, crazy etc.. But you focus exactly on teaching. Thats the biggest difference you made on videos and in your playing I think.

[@OzzGuitar]

Thank you very much for your generous comment🙏🤘

[@r4vis]

THis is the 1st song from them i tried to play.. I failed miserably like 15 years ago., ha I think im ready . ill give it a try again with your tips It looks really helpful :)

[@jamesnichols5998]

So glad I found your video, man. The Fatal Tragedy solo is wicked difficult, but I can't believe the tab mistakes in the official book I bought! That opening passage is literally impossible to play the way they have it written. Thank you so much for showing the right way to play it. Now there might be some hope... 🙏🏼🤘🏼

[@OzzGuitar]

Your welcome. Keep practicing man you’ll play it🤘

[@holty2463]

I would say this and Lost Not Forgotten, toe for first place. Awesome job by the way so clean and precise.

[@MarkLumsley]

A very minor correction, but during bar 10, on the 7th and 8th beats of the bar you can hear his finger rolling over the 7th frets of both the D and G strings (and picking them, of course). There is no rest because instead of the rest you can *just* hear the 7th fret of the G string being played right before the slide from 9th to 7th fret of the D string. It will have been what Petrucci had intended to play but didn't play ithe note strongly enough. Again, very minor correction but thought you might want to know because you've done a near-PERFECT tab and I'm impressed! :)

[@leogentalentscout3680]

That's a fantastic performance ! Wish to see more of your talent !

[@oscarmunozgarcia2097]

Great job man! Thanks🤘

[@gaddebeli]

Jeez, it's even harder than I thought. And another amazing video, both playing and teaching, thank you!

[@OzzGuitar]

Thanks a lot,🙏🙏🙏 Yes it’s just killer!

[@itsmehahaha8295]

you are a really good teacher nice accent by the way and thanks for this. The solo is real fatal tragedy

[@OzzGuitar]

I’m trying my best, thanks a lot🙏🤘 Yes the solo is fatal :)

[@andres.igmendez]

Damn you nailed this solo! and of course an amazing video! I hope I get the time soon to learn tame this beast. I think the most difficult part for lots of John's solos is not the speed but the tempo. Sometimes I dont even know how to set up the damn metronome to practice haha

[@OzzGuitar]

Thank you🤘🤣

[@johnmalcolm4822]

Damn! I'll be whistling that all day now.

[@marvmindhss]

Oh what a solo hocam WHAT A SOLO

[@leonardobenitez1429]

That is so awesome, thanks for teaching us that solo, would love to see HOME solo explained, i think the tab book is incorrect also, tanks again.

[@OzzGuitar]

Thanks for the advice, I love Home solo too :)

[@Haduj-the-Lion]

Man.... nothing fake about that vid...(first time seeing it). Damn clean though! HOLY MOLY

[@OzzGuitar]

Thanks man🤘🤘🤘

[@alensezz4372]

this is my favorite dt solo too

[@jake100xx]

Thanks dude, great lesson I managed to learn it full speed in about 5-10 hours (with sloppiness lol)

[@OzzGuitar]

That’s normal. It will clean up🤘

[@ihsangitar]

Fantastic lesson Özgür!! Thanks for all the work! I was wondering if you could cover or even do a lesson video for the piece “17th Century Chicken Pickin’” from the great Impellitteri. That’d be great :) keep rocking!!

[@augustarda]

Wow wow wow on fire man! Great lesson thanks!

[@OzzGuitar]

Thank you 🤘🤘🤘

[@MarkSmith-hq4rr]

I can't see why people would say its fake, you can hear subtle nuances and burnt notes in the playthrough but its so close to perfect that the overall perfromance isn't affected at all, there'll always be detractors.

[@arvindsankhla1826]

great video , could you tell the setup are you using overdrive or distortion and possible Knob positions

[@OzzGuitar]

I am using Axe Fx 3. Plus distortion, USA 2c+ amp (mesa) that's it. Volume knob position 10 for this video but I usually use 7 to 10 depending on the song.

[@arvindsankhla1826]

@@OzzGuitar many thanks for quick reply

[@UnhingedWarrior]

good work, very impressive!

[@OzzGuitar]

Thanks🤘😀

Do blind faith the first solo!!

[@kukumuniu5658]

Hi :) I need ask you few questions 1 - What is the best exercises you know which allow to use fingers on both hands independent of each other not symmetrically for example left hand fingers are going 1,2,3,4 but left hand figners strokes 4,3,2,1, (if You know what I mean saying "not symmetrically" english is not my native language,I use google translator haha) Generally, it's about the exercises developing the technique of the right hand like Rasgueado in flamenco etc etc let me clarify Basically the point is that our limbs have a natural tendency for symmetrical movement. That is, if the fingers of the left hand move in the order 1,2,3,4 (from pointing to little) fingers of the right hand that want to strokes according to the same pattern. The problem arises when we want to move the fingers of both hands at the same time but in different configurations, e.g. fingers 1,2,3,4 of the left hand together with fingers 4,3,2,1of the right hand. 2 - How to deal with this picking problem: We have two strings for example E and B and now we want play E string down /\ and B string up \/ or E string up \/ and B string down /\ Alternate picking right? How to get maximum speed with tremolo in this patern: one note per string? What we should avoid, what will stop our progress? How to achieve the level of Shawn Lane ? ;D Fingerpicking is ideal for it,but plectrum picking is a challenge. 3 - Hybrid picking development :) Best exercises/licks which You know,to achieve mastery in this technique :) Could You share with us? PS. "the best" mean "most difficult" ;) PPS. even 1,2,3,4 is ok and non symetrical, if we combine it with fingers 2,3,4,1 second hand because problem is not what we do in one hand, but when we want to do different moves both hands together :)

[@OzzGuitar]

1 - Exercises don't have quality, there are no better or worst exercises actually you can play any exersice or song with slow tempos... So the most important think is how you practice! I advice you to practice with tapping your foot and counting out loud. As much as you divide your body parts it will be easier for you to play non symetrical exercises. 2 - You can watch my "how to play fast with alternate picking" video 12 min detailed alternate picking lesson video 3 - For hybrid picking development you can start practicing finger style songs with hybrid picking then you can focus more intense Guthrie Govan, Tom Quayle, Brett Garsed hybrid picking exercises. Cheers

[@tmarti3207]

How can you pick so fast and so CLEAN, and without anchoring??

"Hardest john petrucci solo" *laughs in a stream of conciousness*

[@akin519]

Constant motion is the hardest if you would ask me

[@NO-TALK-GuitarPlugin]

You’re a great player but I assume you’re using a plugin or something digital for amp sound, it’s not very touch sensitive apparently. Am I right? I think if you want something digital you should go for amp and torpedo or something like that :)

so The tabs at the end are the correct ones?👉🏼👈🏻
