John Petrucci - Lines In The Sand Guitar Solo

[@NeilMcLinden]

I like this particular era of Petrucci partly because he just looks like some random guy from Long Island, who happens to be the best metal guitarist of all time.

[@ArtGuitarLTX]

😂 I can see that. It's the short hair and goatee. "Hey...i'm jamming ova' heeeeere". 😂 That's my south texas Italian NY stereo type impression. 😅😂Never seen this solo with him on a talk box. Not my fav...the chaos tour solo... sweet and amazing.

[@DMBVR4]

Now he looks like some random guy from Gary, Indiana

[@rockcityliverpool]

I was there! Greatest guitar solo I have ever witnessed live!

[@johnSmith-ne5dh]

I envy you. Wish I was there too

[@sultansofswing4057]

Then i guess u probably had missed their concert in budokan; where he nailed a jaw-dropping "hollow years" solo

[@alvinjoko3246]

Lucky you..

[@arjunbasnet2223]

Lucky you❤️

[@Starsmuse]

John is an amazing guitar player. He can shred the shit out of something but i think his true talent lies in finding the perfect melody for his solo's When he gets into feeling something its guaranteed to give you the chills.

[@ryanino]

I agree

[@bmann792]

Often overlooked is his melodic playing

[@mufiku]

That's petrucci. Not too technical, but man..he's good

[@AndresGarcia-qk3sj]

@@mufiku NOT TOO TECHNICAL??!!?!

[@wannaberocker331]

I mean just the vibrato he hits at the 2:44 mark is killer.

John Petrucci and Mike Portnoy always caused me an earthquake on my skin. This is music. This is emotion. Period.

[@samvela7242]

They’re currently touring together!

[@RafaelMorenoSaavedra]

Now Mike is back in the band ❤

[@stevequarcini4637]

I think this is probably the live pinnacle of DT. This entire show and tour was just fantastic.

[@jackvai2681]

BEST VERSION OF THIS SONG...EVER... JP's DAVID GILMORE ON 6-STRING INTENSITY-STEROIDZ MOMENT...ICONIC...HISTORIC...TIMELESS!

[@chrisdimis91]

It's amazing that this solo is improved from start to finish

[@xstingrayx]

almost 25 years since i first heard a song by DT and I swear i wouldn't be the person i am today without having had Dream Theater throughout the worst of times in the past. their music always felt like the one safe place to go to when the 3D world outside crumbled to pieces, and it kept pushing me forward.

[@georgeavouris8539]

what a solo? what a beauty? Dream Theater rock. Hello from Athens Greece

One the best's solos from guitar

[@fulmerjw]

haaraas...you not kiddin.. I've been a JP fan for years. He amazes me everytime I see him. I don't play guitar, but he makes me not want to pick one up. About 2:43 to the end he makes the guitar cry, and me as well. Rock on, John..Rock on!

[@teddhires2259]

ive been playing for 35 years and every time i hear JP play he makes me want to quit, i dont see how anyone could be any better than him

[@SWBaek117]

huge profs to Labrie mentioning his name after every solo... I almost forgot his name

[@fatalsupremacy]

+1 if you get the chills watching this!

[@cougar452000]

There was a great use of well placed "rests, and phrasing" and the balance between the building, and the climax of the solo where the tempo increased and slowed down simoultaneously with the rest of the band made for a superb release of the flurry of notes used towards the end. Good work JP! We appreciate you're angle of guitar playing. :)

[@kurdi98k]

This version made me cry

[@johnSmith-ne5dh]

Is he a guitar God or is he a guitar God??? He is unbelievably talented 👍👍👍

[@asheemify]

You are right You are right

[@richlandbuere6173]

2:30 20,000 notes per seconds, it so fast that the guitar even the fingers couldn't make it.

[@BigIsk52]

Fantastic! JP is the best.

[@MegaRamis]

[@aaronwhitehead5325]

Awesome playing from John, as always. There was something about the restraint in the early days of this solo that I still appreciate more though, as we all know he can play insanely fast.

[@gasfervis]

This guitar solo is perfect amalgam between the passionate love & the anger

[@cougar452000]

This is great work. I do like the modal changes used in the progression, good use of timing, and what sets this solo apart from alot of guitarists, is the fact that there was alot of well placed statements through-out the solo, instead of shredding non-stop,

[@Spartakis3]

i saw them before when i was in my early 20's ! at a place that no longer exist, sadly.... Rocky point, RI ! there first album ! they played with Galatic cowboys back then , im 47 now, when i saw them i got about 2 feet away from john, he slapped my hand while security took me to the back of the hall ! i will never forget that ! ever !

[@squadmetal8]

John Petrucci 😘😘😘 number one

[@pantalaemon]

also: goddamn, i remember the first time i watched this too, i just sat there, amazed, my mouth open and shivering... and only upon watching it for again i could remember any of it.

[@shlomorothstein9691]

Thanks for this. I normally just skip to this section in the full song anyway.

[@jonathanespinoza2015]

Excelent guitar solo John petrucci

[@rajatkantidas1655]

Petrucci is my God like a living dream!

[@hydewizard]

So brutal. I’m so in love with this 😂

[@official-elonmusk]

Watched this so many times ive lost count. Maybe close to 40 or 50.. .. . . . . Could watch another 500 times before I die, and enjoy it just as much as the first. The shred at about 3:18 can tear me up if I listen closely enough and focus time after time. Its the most emotional shredding I think any guitarist will ever be able to pull off (Disclaimer: In My Opinion ((even tho i said "I think" i dont wana spark up any arguments :P)) )

[@siavashdarmani1190]

live performance ... wowwwwww

[@PNL_King]

I fucking love how portnoy goes ham as soon as Jon walks back towards him... the two best to ever do it.

[@nixneato]

I just realized... 2:38 is what you should answer people who ask you why we like so many notes: not so much for the shredding itself (well... :-) but especially for the contrast those guys are able to create right afterwards with melody. It's like holding your breath before something amazing happens, and you can breathe again...

[@Jmusicguitar]

Nix Neato plus hes playing live so his adrenalin is pumping to the max

[@andrastory]

[@nipunsnrtrahman114]

Falling into infinity is when JP was at his peak, for me at least. The solos in this album are very mature, the note selections are excellent! I don't mean to say he was bad in other albums, of course not. But he was something else in this one.

[@davelospinoso9022]

JP and MP share a musical connection that can not be replicated by Mangini

Yep . similar to ulrich/hetfield

its a talkbox. he singin the guitar notes as he plays em it gives it that extra effect thing. this is the first time ive seen him do it with this song though

[@dchakravarthy3254]

Chase Broussard I’m personally not a fan of his use of the talk box for this solo. The clarity and the voicing of the original was part of why I loved it so much.

[@metalrulezU]

sounds so much better on his old ibanez guitars, anyone agree?, nothing to do with his playing the guys incredible.

[@ferdinardos]

Indeed.Makes his solo sounds more melodical.

[@Meteorotaki]

Loved the Ibanez era much more, and the guitars looked better IMO

[@ElShogoso]

I think this is, obviously, a matter of preference but, I got the opportunity to play on both the JPM and the Ernie Ball JP6, and honestly, although the JPM was a great guitar, it just felt like a normal japanese RG to me. The Ernie Ball on the other hand is the most comfortable and delicious to play guitar I ever tried. I'd take it over the Ibanez anytime.

[@johnSmith-ne5dh]

Fair enough but musicman majesty isn't bad either 👍

[@azimthor5073]

Love this comments

[@LostPlectrum]

Petrucci with short hair is the best period for him. IMHO.

[@davidgottfried6669]

I think this video, more than anything, illustrates why I prefer Portnoy to Mangini: just listen to HOW he supports the guitar solo with his drumming. The musical chemistry between the two is absolutely brilliant.

ye i know what u mean... this stuff either makes u start/keep playin guitar or make you put it away in "shame"... Well, i couldnt do the latter, so i guess i'm gonna keep on xD but this is amazing... perfectly amazing ^^,

[@nixneato]

Why should we care about people who say John can't play emotionally? Isn't there enough of us people whom he can move so deeply with his mixture of craziness and cries of pain on his guitar? I'm glad some people insult him. They are called superficial, mainstream, pre-chewed-shit-eating jealous people, and they only justify we're not like them. Our job is not to teach them. Our only job is to "carry on his way" and be respectful and open-minded about everything. Except haters :o)

Do your this little space of silence 2:35? Well, actually its not a silence. John breaks the speed of sound but the human ear can't caught the superfast sound produced by his ultra-picking-technique.

[@reandor]

Oh yeah, by all means please take a solo that is already great to a higher level. Its not like we are jealous or anything (angry emoji goes here)
