Mental imagery applied in music really is a thing. There are tons of papers and researches about it. Whether you're imagining how your hands should move when you're playing, or imagining different kinds of images that represent your sound/music, it differs from person to person. What John said about standing on a mountain and having birds come out of his guitar was actually personal to him. And he shared that to everyone. What an awesome human being.

I'm fortunate enough to have seen DT twice on their first tour and their soundcheck on both. To this day John's clean tone was the best live clean tone I've ever heard. He had a huge refrigerator-sized rack and he really knew what sound he was going for even back then; it was epic. Mind you they weren't famous yet and Pull Me Under had just been released on the radio, so seeing them as a relatively unknown new band touring clubs was really mind-blowing.

Petrucci does the perfect demo of why an FX loop is your best friend. Vintage amps have great tone but they're very one dimensional w/ no FX loop. Sure, you can run various non dist effects in front of the preamp along w a dist pedal, but it tends to get muddy. Try a clean boost pedal in your FX loop. It will blow your mind. It will boost your signal volume up with minimal effect on your tone so its great for solos that cut through the mix. Click off your dist pedal and click on your clean boost in the loop and it FATTENS up your clean tone big time. Then tweak your tone between your amp gain and master and your guitar volume for each configuration w pedals on and pedals off until you reach a happy medium on the amp settings. These are really cool work arounds that don't cost a lot of $$$. You just need a good amp with an FX loop and a couple of really well made pedals.

Some great tips here indeed. One thing that took me time to learn was that less is more on the distortion side. We tend to hear thick distortion and try to dial that in only to have it be way too much. Dialing it back you get that sweet spot. I’ve heard many isolated tracks of EVH and was astounded at just how clean his brown sound was. It def had hair on it but it was not as dirty as it came out with the whole band pumping along with him. Loved the effects commentary JP shared here. Brilliant.

As far as the noise gate comment goes, yes, it's best not to use one for further clarity but sometimes you have to use one out of necessity. A high gain amp in a small space will never stop feedbacking without a gate to keep it in check and choke it out. Nobody uses a gate because they want to, it's almost always out of necessity.

Excellent approach!! I love his use of visualisation... Definitely going to try to use that more 😎👍 Years ago I already picked up another JP tip, namely: to tighten up your sound, just dial back the gain a bit! And since then I've always kept my high gain rhythm sound 'clean' and to the point anyway - no reverbs anywhere in my signal: I leave thát to the FOH. But I might use a noisegate in the FX loop on my amp, just enough to clean things up a bit when playing live. Never in the studio though, just like compression: that's all done after during production.

Regarding chorus. The formulation I always had given to me was, you choose between chorused distortion, or distorted chorus. And the implication was distorted chorus bad. But, I don’t know, man; I think Petrucci used a distorted chorus on the solo in, the Gershwin piece on LTE three, and it sounded amazing. Both have validity.

One of the most underappreciated things about Petrucci was his ear for tones. Always had a great tone even back in his Ibanez days and one of the guys I really look to to model after when searching for my own tones. The DiMarzio pickup set he used on his Ibanez's (Air Norton in the neck and D Sonic in the bridge) is the same one I use on my Ibanez's and still one of the best pickup combinations for this style of music to this day. What he was doing in the 90s was just so ahead of the curve and that scooped Mesa tone that is so synonymous with modern metal.
