Woodshed Ep. 65 My Top 5 John Petrucci Riffs!

[@andywoodmusic]

Hey guys, thanks for checking out these iconic John Petrucci riffs with me. What was up with the green frames on my transitions?! Did KZbin try to momentarily pass my video thru the matrix?! 😂

[@BenEller]

Question: do you now know kung fu?

[@EthnHayabusa]

Haha, my computer does that sometimes, I thought it was just me.

[@andywoodmusic]

@@BenEller yes. Am karate now.

[@Gorbyrev]

5 more please!

[@BenEller]

I luv Joe Petrummi, he have good licks.

[@georgeestremera1464]

I think you meant “Jim Pastrami”

[@Slasher744]

Joe Satriani? Or Hey Joe?

[@MartinMillerGuitar]

Heck yeah! JP Forum veterans represent :D

[@andywoodmusic]

yes!!

[@jasong546]

I watched you play 10 seconds of the first piece and immediately set all my gear on fire and applied to a monastery where I can hide in my failure forever. Jeesh Andy that’s incredible, well done man!

[@andywoodmusic]

😂🍻

[@daviddowns16]

I’ve always loved the opening to About to Crash (Reprise).

[@NelderGuitar]

The glass prison arps…nightmares, just nightmares.

[@got2rock4]

Freaking awesome🔥 you nailed those Amazing Petrucci riffs. He's my favorite modern player and now you are there as well🤟

[@Burtallica]

I'm a simple man. I hear the "Universal Mind" opening riff, I hit like.

[@Arch_Stanton.]

I was a big Petrucci and Dream Theater fan as a teenager. Still today, I think Petrucci is one of the best at writing great guitar solos, from melodic and hooky solos to full-blown, but still interesting shredfest. He might not be the best, and the most interesting improvisator, but his influence on today's guitar community is huge.

[@dapksp25]

Saw Vh as a kid several times..seen Dream Theater around 10 times as an adult..love your channel..cool stuff

[@rahulbasu659]

John’s legacy, along with his amazing catalog of music, will be the legions of guitar players he’s inspired, including bona fide guitar “God”s like Andy.

[@MichaelWilson-ri9pn]

Man your right hand seems so relaxed. Looks effortless even though I know you've put in a ton of time on it. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@Taylor-kd6lr]

John would be proud Andy. To say you’re a great player would be an understatement. Well done!

[@bahritkharakor9257]

Wow..simply amazing..love it!🤩😍

[@SilverParatrooper]

Cool video Andy thinks for sharing your favorites

[@Gorbyrev]

I have been watching JP since DT played the Cathouse in Glasgow in the early 90's. You have those parts nailed. Well done sir.

[@mofutmma1]

His outro solo to Innocence Faded with it’s build is my personal favorite. Love your content Andy!!

[@wakjob961]

That was great...nice to see you again Andy.

[@jimandcathep9915]

You always inspire me Andy - thanks for being awesome.

[@Sodacake]

Love all these riffs, and at one time they have all been my #1. Right now I really love As I Am from Train Of Thought.

[@andywoodmusic]

A fantastic cut!!

[@CrisKRA]

That Petrucci - Rudess record was shown to me by another DT fan... that I had just met in a DT concert at the end of 2019. I miss that stuff 😔

[@17colosal]

JP Is from another planet!

[@Cherry_Sunburst]

Fucking great man, just fucking great...!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHEERS.

[@michael_shull]

Fantastic breakdown and playing of JP's stuff! Picked some great deep cuts too. You being on the Guitar Universe roster is well deserved.

[@Leadfootkurtis]

Your awesome, dig your point of view

[@blacklabelnic]

wonderful vid Andy as always! your passion for music shines man

[@ScottGailor]

“Face meat” 😂😂😂😂😂

[@johnv4866]

Andy is as awesome as he wants to be.

[@andywoodmusic]

🍻

[@kfliegner]

Great stuff! Looking forward to meeting you and all the other legends at JPGU (and to learning more things I’m incapable of playing 😂)!

[@hansschepens]

His latest solo cd is so freaking great!

[@mglickman13]

Thanks Andy! Wish I was in Anaheim...

[@tonypstout]

ANOTHER HONORABLE MENTION!! ...And Petrucci's greatest solo ever - *The Spirit Carries On!* Unreal, major scale, feel, hooks, tone, passion etc. Check it out! Also my buddy G used to say Petrucci's guitar tone on Train of Thought was "dryer than Papaws elbows"! LOL

[@7thString84]

Haha! Many similarites, man! :) When you introduced In The Name of God, I would've BET, you're gonna play that Cm unison legato part!!! Bummer! :D But thanks for the reminder. I could play that. But I've somehow forgotten it over the last years... -.- But... it's just a FORGOTTEN SECRET! ;-P Cheers!

[@mojomann67]

Glasgow Kiss also has a Steve Morse feel. Knowing Steve is one of John's biggest influences it's no surprise.

[@jasong546]

You sounded like Tony Rice for a moment there, really cool

[@jimsimmons2674]

First time i heard andy and he is such a great guitar player,just fantastic!

[@AffordableGuitars]

My favorite DT song is still Panic Attack from Octavarium

[@JAFOpty]

the 24p cant keep up with the picking! we need 120fps for the Woodch!

[@frankardos4211]

well hey there Andy dude!! I know you can't answer every comment........but man dude........ you are one of a select few that I KNOW gets it. Just if I ask about a certain tone from let's say .........a DIEZEL? I've been thinking about their PAUL amp you actually tried at NAMM? I believe it was NAMM......anyway I like to get the straight forward tones that honestly you achieve and desire pretty much like most of us shred meets everything in between dudes. I ask mainly because I've never played any DIEZEL amp but know they are their own thing. Thank you if you get to this Andy, and BLESS YOU BRO!!!!!!

[@andywoodmusic]

Cheers my dude!!! I absolutely love diezel amps!! They have an aggression that’s tough to match and they always sound great in a big mix!

[@frankardos4211]

@@andywoodmusic dig it man! I totally thank you for that info Andy. It's good to see the channel doin well brother. Bless you and rock on!

[@stevehawthorn8733]

Talking signature models I always chuckle when there's a new Les Paul, whoever's signature model release, as the 'Les Paul' is already a signature model for.........Les Paul, would you believe, so hands down the most successful signature guitar ever made surely

[@TheBigH1975]

Heh. Metal in a JC shirt. Good stuff.

[@andywoodmusic]

Dats right

[@petergrifindor]

Octavarium solo for me on Score

[@vaisatchatrucci]

Why come you gotta keep giving me more reasons to hate yer guts!? So good!

[@vaisatchatrucci]

And who are the two haters who gave this a thumbs down!? That's just jealousness... Shame on them!

[@nitromeda]

Nobody mentioning "The Astonishing" ... ? 😉 It's still just too much music for me to process but I know DT albums often need years to grow on me 😃

[@Darrell1977]

As if playing that stuff isn't hard enough. You had to alternate pick everything to add insult to injury. :) :)

[@andywoodmusic]

😁🍻

[@camreese1444]

First of all, you’re shredding on a tele. That’s bad ass. Second, I’m gonna go listen to some DT now bye 👋🏼

[@lairdey]

Nice Dave Chappelle reference.

[@andywoodmusic]

He’s my favorite

[@supersqueegee3276]

Check out Ytze Jam
