All rights to Dream Theater.
Enjoy :)

[@nesguillen]

The solo from Hollow Years live at Budokan is just marvelous.

[@painkillerauflauf5770]

Yes

[@xalihin]

Agreed! My uncle is from an old-school boomer generation and he adores their playing. I remember he glued himself watching the whole live in Budokon especially Hollow years.

[@solinvictus2132]

I personally would have included under a Glass Moon but still a great list

[@brunogiovannini2180]

That is the best Dream Theater guitar solo of all times

[@solinvictus2132]

[@j.d.harvis9184]

Definitely would add Glass Moon. Also As I am is pretty bad ass!

This list does nothing for me. Once you've heard the playing on Images and Words, then everything else they've done pales away in comparison. Even heard another guy doing Under A Glass Moon on a KZbin video and it was incredible.

Yes this solo is incredible

Everyone shares..

[@surj1kal]

I don’t share, I think it’s a bit boring!

[@AIYINOFFICIAL]

Literally everyone does ... It's probably the greatest solo ever written in all aspects .

[@hkoh6873]

Same here

[@webjock2k7]

He really needs a Top 25 list at least, to minimize controversy and debate among fans. He’s just that incredible.

[@federecata]

TBOT has the best solo ever made by Petrucci. Is not only a solo for the father of a friend farewell but for a friend and band partner too.

[@thianhlun]

The first dt song that I listen was Another day and the guitar solo was the reason I become a dt fan

[@Steven-xd5kn]

Images and Words is when I discovered Dream Theater in the early '90s. It's an absolute masterpiece 🤘🏻

[@jacksguitars7394]

I love all of these solos! John Petrucci is a fantastic guitarist. My personal favorite is "In the Name of God". That album (Train of Thought; 2003) is my favorite album ever made.

[@mahathirmajid8296]

the best

[@webjock2k7]

For me, ItNoG is definitely a glaring omission from the top 10 of JP’s Dream Theater solos list, along with Glass Moon, Spirit, and Barstool Warrior. But really it’s personal preference, he has dozens and dozens of world class solos.

[@johndyda5673]

Absolutely superb, and a nice touch at the end. My favourite guitarist of all time and I'm nearly 68!)

[@michaelg.1641]

Stop thinking about which solo is missing or not...just enjoy this ten Masterpieces ;)

[@Steven-xd5kn]

Under a Glass Moon for me. Images and Words probably still my favorite DT album... 🤘🏻🍻

A mind blowing musical journey. Really loved it sir.

[@atthewhiskey]

Lines In The Sound is very similar in context to Comfortably Numb(outro solo). Alot of similar licks.

[@mervinlouie5398]

how about the final solo of octavarium? there's no way in hell it should not be included

[@MrGap79]

Impossible to choose just 10 by Petrucci!

Of all these solos, the only one that is truly good is the last one, at the end of the video. Besides, there are some that are horrible.

apparently, this guy just like fast and technical solo. That's it. Just a normal metalhead

[@lalboihatlau8476]

Petrucci solo was good in the slow notes . In the fast notes his guitar tone dounds like cartoon or vedio games even I can play his fast notes no iq just orinary fast

The solo from breaking all Illusions it done biking garbage 80s hairband. It just isn't good
