John Petrucci Interview - Revelations of a Guitar Legend

I had a chance to sit down with the legend himself, John Petrucci in Atlanta, GA. We discussed his thoughts on working with great people in the music business and why his signature gear has been so successful. It's a fun and easy going interview with the prog guitarist from Dream Theater!

Very good interview, its so nice to see this side of John, the business man. I watched a podcast with a guitarist who received a prototype of the Majesty 6 months before it was released. He said that when he visited the MM factory, they told him that John Petrucci's guitars are like 80% or more of his sales. It's exactly like you said, the Petrucci name is a seal of approval, if a product has it, you can trust with your eyes closed that it's of the highest level possible

[@PaulWarrenMusic]

Thank you so much! It was a fun and easy going interview and I'm glad people enjoyed hearing what he had to say. :)

[@simonsitinjak]

Always excited to see John share about guitar. For me, he's a great monster of tone, solo, and riff guitar.😊

[@PaulWarrenMusic]

He's definitely one of the few I think of who has tone that is super memorable and really makes the songs and riffs even better! Thanks so much for watching!

[@simonsitinjak]

​@@PaulWarrenMusic Yes, absolutely agree.

[@BrianCrowellthemusic]

Solid advice! Love the different direction on the interview questions! Good insight TY!!

[@PaulWarrenMusic]

Thanks Brian! Glad you enjoyed the questions as I tried to just make it casual and let the conversation lead to more interesting places. :)

Dude!! This is absolutely fantastic.

Thanks so much Daniel! It was a good time.

Great interview Paul! Loved the story about you getting in the limo with guitar royalty. That's awesome!

[@PaulWarrenMusic]

It was a fun chat. My favorite quote was "You're on time, you're late. You're late, you're fired." Ha!

[@nunyabusiness7927]

@@PaulWarrenMusic That's old school. I was always told, "If you're early, you're on time. If you're on time you're late, and if you're late, don't even bother to show up."

[@cunjoz]

bruh you got yourself an interview with Petrucci?? I'd count that as one of the greatest accomplishments in life

[@PaulWarrenMusic]

He's great. I've known John a long time so he was kind enough to do the sit down with me before the show. He's a good man! Thanks for checking out the video!

[@nickv.7181]

Hey Paul, loved this. I didn't know you're in ATL. I'm in Dunwoody. Would love to check out the Lambo green Majesty in person some time!

[@PaulWarrenMusic]

Thanks for watching! I’m actually not in Atlanta rather North Carolina. I drove down for the interview. Hopefully they will come through North Carolina sometime soon.

[@nickv.7181]

@@PaulWarrenMusic damnit! That means I have to get my own Lambo green Majesty now!!!

[@vancomposer]
