2024 - Ola testing Petrucci's shit

[@joe_mox]

How can people come up with this kind of shit? very creative! lol

November 12, 1955: Marty Mcfly invents rock n’ roll.

[@DomicidalCovers]

Dude, my brain would probably unlearn everything from the last 20+ years, and shrivel up to the size of a raisin the second I pick up that guitar.

[@leddygee1896]

🤣😆😁

[@robinkhoury5579]

Was thinking the same haha😂

[@beanzz801]

Lol seriously I thought the same thing!

[@clamdigr]

Yep, I had a vision of being up there and Maddi saying "here, give it a try" as he hands me JP's guitar, and I spend the next 5 minutes trying to remember how to play.....anything...anything at all.........as JP comes busting out from back stage to rescue his guitar. Ever seen a guitar god give his guitar a pep talk? "You're ok, it's over, stay calm".

[@neilshreds]

😂😂😂😂

[@dalfonzinator]

JP picks up guitar later… says “hey, who the f-k been messing with my rig?!”

[@rajeshsunchildmadhav9740]

Totally!!

[@StoneXue]

Damn slimey swede sweated all over my shredder

[@fivedaysinjune]

Why does my guitar smell of ...coffee...??

[@topisantakivi1512]

"Who turned all the knobs to 11!?!?!?!?"

[@TheCyberMantis]

Swap-out his JP-2C's for ENGL Fireballs. See if he notices. 😄

[@Gorbyrev]

Bucket list stuff Ola. Maddi is such a gent.

[@TheFlexXMLG]

yes, he’s a legend. The whole of DT tbh.

[@Gorbyrev]

@@TheFlexXMLG Glasgow show on the View From the Top of the World tour Maddi came out to adjust something and got his own chant. Can't be many guitar techs who'd get that!

[@TheFlexXMLG]

@@Gorbyrev haha, that is awesome. I also took some photos of him on the Budapest show. He’s a celebrity on his own :D

[@clod33]

Playing JP rig has made Ola's right bicep growth.

[@SantiagoUrrego457]

This could be a dream for a any dream theater fan❤

[@Cybothron]

That tech knows his shit

[@taylorhansen9290]

Maddi is a class act. He knows his stuff and he's a super nice guy. He gave me a rundown of the rig back on the Astonishing tour and was clearly exited and happy to answer my questions.

[@LuisRdzG10]

Has to, obviously, otherwise he wouldn't be there

[@Yuriguitar11]

Not only Petrucci is your friend but you also played on his guitar rig for this tour up on the stage. Dude....

[@michael4591]

I just love John. He is my inspiration since 1999

[@driftless7134]

He is a truly special player.

[@CompleteProducer84]

Awesome! For anyone who finds it helpful, Maddi did a video on Thomman a few years back where he goes through an entire JP guitar setup and explains the whole process

[@peevee605]

That rig is the best of the 80’s/early 90’s WDW rigs combined with the modern tech of these days. Awesum!!!!!

[@cirjakj]

John Petrucci’s rig is so amazing

[@sheldonwright8770]

Worth more than my car thats for sure 😂

[@neuroscope9052]

Those clean tones are sweet and the chugs articulate and tight. JP's rig tones have always been excellent and the 40 years of refinement shows. it's one thing to buy the gear and do it yourself but to play the rig of one of your heroes must be surreal. This video was for Ola more than the viewers I think too.

[@StormdriverOne]

Ahhh! Come on, man! Who gets to do this? This is awesome.

[@reallyeffingcooltechnodude]

0:10 The Haunted - Bullet Hole 3:16 The Haunted - The Flood People always ask in the comments whenever Ola plays those great riffs.

[@sepiarain]

The lord and saviour of extreme metal guitar playing, Anders Björler.

[@DimKAt21]

🤘

[@Fredrikliljemark32]

Yeah, i recognized those too. Awesome songs.

[@Neo-Midgar]

Man those riffs sound good in E standard

[@berndgroters2745]

WOW! It must have been such an honor to play with John's rig! I've been in Cologne and John's sound was unbelievable! Maddi is such a cool and humble guy!

[@alisabbagh8242]

And the great thing about it is, Ola still sounds like Ola even on JP's rig. Tone is in the player.

[@hrvojemolnar7806]

First thought I had as Ola started playing

[@vladlaktionov2939]

Oh, you're so right!

[@SteYellowcard]

Went to the Milan show in Italy and the rhythm was absolutely massive

[@sriyansamadhi8443]

Wow Crazy Tone JP

[@TheFlexXMLG]

That is so awesome man. Wow it must’ve felt unreal.

[@ドリフト180X]

Those tones are amazing, the cleans, the chugs, the leads. Simply amazing.

[@cflowers69]

That’s how it sounds right as you walk into guitar center.

[@nm-156]

I SO love Ola for being a FAN of music first. Not afraid to geek out on how much he loves other people's music.... kinda like Dime. A truly, loving Spirit that loves Metal as much as WE do. And you don't hear him badmouthing others. It shows in his music 🖤🤘

[@philguitfiddle]

That was awesome. Great tone for both lead and rhytmn

[@earthquakemagoon2505]

Getting the chance to play John's rig! How lucky can that be!? Skål! 🎸👍😀

[@philipdrebin]

Dude that must have been a fever dream for you. I could have died happily after that

[@ruinofspace]

Love this sound 🔥🤘

[@TheZxman]

That technician is awesome. That would be so cool to do

[@thatsgoodcofffee]

Sick man! (Throws pick across the room) 🎸

[@Kevin.Kelly.]

I was waiting for this one!

[@majorlee1]

From a kid and his dad watching JP at a guitar clinic to playing his actual guitar and live rig! Living the dream man! 🤘

[@swiss8943]

You are crazy OLAA!!!!!

[@sirtogii5216]

What an absolute treat that must have been!

[@jalalfaruque9527]

Cooool. Its a lifetime opportunity 🎸💚

[@gearhead2017]

Wow! Maddi is a cool dude taking care of John's rig

[@georgenowik7421]

Ola plays through JP's entire rig. Still sounds like Ola. Which, for the record, does not suck. ❤

[@bleeddean1989]

Even through John's actual live rig, ola sounds like ola lol love it

[@paulgiannamore-guitar9195]

I'm jealous. Mere mortals only dream of what it would be like to play through John pettrucci's rig. I've watched as many videos on his rigs as I can find, wishing I could play through it.

[@endze1613]

Lucky bastard Ola :D Must have been incredible! :)

[@driftless7134]

Living the Dream Ola!

[@spencercarter8008]

I had rock discipline about 20 years ago. Even today, it's the best introduction to the idea of targeted practice. Isolate the technique or idea and drill it... rather than just playing it. Spent hundreds of hours finding those weaknesses and grinding through them with that course.

[@nekashi9225]

Wow!!! Ola Petruccis

[@Darkman24]

Amazing how you go from avid DT and JP fan to playing his guitar and talking the shit with MP and JP! Awesome Ola, very happy for you!

[@jimmyandersson59]

I'm happy for you Ola. 😊❤

[@nicolaslienard2141]

Lucky you! That was awesome.

[@drabbster]

the strap length actually looks pretty good on you! gives you those wide shoulder stance like the Petrucc always has.

[@TinoSchulz1990]

2:00 what a great lick! I really should get into bendins with hammer-ons and pull-offs more.

[@psyberiusblack]

Nuno throws in those cool bendy slidey hammer on pull offs. I love cool fluid licks like that thrown in. Really adds that 🤌 to a lead/solo.

[@ConstantineM]

WOW!

[@bazzman666]

Life goals. 💪

[@NEINLIVES999]

What a treat!

[@mathias_411]

Dude living his dream! Well deserved Ola

[@andresilvasophisma]

This is awesome, I never thought Petrucci's rig could sound like Ola.

[@irisallevi6414]

Ok nerdy question: for a shreddier solo like As I Am he's using less gain and a longer delay? I would had said the opposite 🤔 Does anyone know why?

[@gordonstarship]

Dude I love the GAME OVER riff. That's a cool honor to play his rig on stage. Glad you chugged that Ernie Ball

[@Ace_For_My_Axe]

That Tone is sick!

[@davidp6007]

Olucci the new up and coming player... jokes aside, what an honour and what a chance to get to have a go at that rig man, holy shit! 👽🤘

[@Ryan_Messenger]

DUDE! Hell yeah

[@GearPhase]

So freaking cool!

[@lukaspechar]

Well deserved Ola!

[@StefanoMei]

I can feel the "dream status" from here 😍

[@Burnt_Gerbil]

Petrucci: Hey. What the… Where did this HM-2 pedal come from? OLAAAA!! 😆

[@1dragon9447]

Incredible

[@claudevieaul1465]

Amazing!!!! 😎🤘 Just saw DT last Sunday on their last show in the Netherlands - absolutely going strong....

[@LotoTheHero]

Very cool! 🤘🤘

[@atrijpaul9317]

Bro living in the wildest guitarist dreams!!😀

[@KRayxKodessA]

Well that's pretty damn cool.

[@TreyXanthean-c5h]

YEA!

[@rickbrunet2559]

Ola in his glory!!!!!!

[@jeremiahjones60]

I had more fun the second view watching the tech take a step forward to really watch THE MAGIC IN FRONT OF HIM…!!! MUYA moment

[@shaunxw729]

Omfg. This is every petrucci fan dream. Hope i can do this at the petrucci guitar universe in august...if he has something set up like that

[@alexsands433]

Awesome you got to play his rig set up very sick 👍

[@ineedhelpwithaname]

Ola this is awesome!

[@Arthemesia]

Ola living the dream haha

[@allengarrow6295]

Wow! What an honor! Did you ever imagine when you started this channel that you would be playing through Johns rig? Keep being you Ola, it seems to be working.

[@gr070491]

Damn that sounds HUGE

[@zeebaig]

This is awesome

[@legacysantiago]

Wow, quite the experience 🙂

[@scottbronder]

Dude.... that is so bad ass

[@hannzplays9767]

dope as hell

[@Twobarpsi]

It chugs 🤘😎🤘!!

[@bluesful]

Damn. What an amazing experience that would be.

[@chrisnaishguitar]

Holy Moly!!! I couldn't even imagine! I'm sure the adrenaline was high on this one, hahahaha! This is awesome! What a treat that would be!

[@tertiusspengler]

I can only imagine how amazing that guitar must feel

[@wesleytrott6397]

Ola! How'd the action feel on that guitar? I know John keeps it's super low. Did you have to pick lighter to avoid fret buzz?

[@drichcymru]

Wow those cabs are absolutely screaming!

[@musicman7773]

Sharing is caring real!

[@juliusplaysgames]

That's a happy Ola right there! 😇

[@RiffLordExegesis]

Good lord … a dream come true

[@slugtoenail]

Awesome sauce!!

[@leeDs718]

Big shoutout to Ola for noodling riffs in the key of E

[@CoolStuffDad]

Quite the Adventures With Ola content here!

[@ibanezleftyclub]

If someone asked me if I wanted to fly the space shuttle into orbit or play with JP’s rig, I would choose this.

[@Insekkton]

It finally sounds like you. No matter what Glenn Fricker says, a big part of the tone is in the hands.

[@6Stringers]

damn, this is the kind of life experience you get to tell your grandchildren about. Ola making family folklore

[@kevinlane7555]

Well, you took full advantage of that opportunity

[@BEARDEDCLAMUSA]

🤘Shit the Bed, Ola playing with John's Toys, with The Great Maddi 🙌

[@algunnickvalido]

What a dream!! Crongrats Ola, its been a long road.

[@xboxnissan]

That's the dream right there!

[@tommys_hobbies]

Joaco Luis has been learning and covering the DT 2024 tour setlist on his KZbin and Twitch channels. Definitely recommend checking it out.

[@ST_dejavu]

Wow I like this guitar sound 😮🔥
