This is one of my favorite formats to watch. Just two world-class musicians talking about their compositional techniques and playing together without any external input. So great.

I see a lot of criticism about this album... (mostly online, everyone I talk to in person loves it..) I get where they're coming from, I personally love it...I'm a sucker for melody. Either way, no matter your opinions of it...anyone would have to admit, the themes are amazing...

I've been listening to the album from beginning to end in sequence and let me tell you, it is truly astonishing the level of genius this band has together. I think those that are not a fan of this album really don't have an appreciation for the music theory and details that DT has put into this album. It's definitely one of my favorites.
@bassimprovjams3772 Жыл бұрын
One of my absolute favorite DT albums ever!! What an amazing job they did at creating this story! Seeing it live was astonishing! 😊🤘 and James truly shined on this album, playing so many different characters and doing it so so well,

Loving this little series, kind of gives me a new appreciation for the music and the way the album was constructed, because some of these things aren't something you can necessarily figure out easily just by listening. Very cool, looking forward to the next one.

Part of the melody from The Answer is also played in Astonishing just before the obvious return of the theme (the "I always had the answer" section); it's played in the strings during Xander's line. Never noticed it until today but it's really neat how they put that in there!

Absolutely LOVE the Astonishing! My son is a guitar player and has set his sites on "being the next John Petrucci" :) We actually got him one of John's signature guitars (the majesty) and he loves it. Only issue we have is it seems to go through batteries like crazy. We change them out every week. Just wondering if this is normal? Thanks for the amazing music guys, keep up the good work!
@KarzGuitar6 жыл бұрын
Not sure if this has been answered, but the battery issue might stem from the guitar being left plugged in! The pickup's batteries are still engaged whenever a cable is connected to the guitar, even if the amplifier is off.
