John Petrucci is one of the few favorite guitarist for me. I first saw his playing and talent at my first Dream Theater show in Den Bosch, the Netherlands. That concert I will never forget. Dreamtheater still in their early days with that massive and 'not to follow' melodies and stunning instrumental parts...wow... Just from another planet.
It was also that time that I got to know a bit like 'There is more than only shredding a guitar" , John Combined speedy solo's (really speedy) with some of the most vollatile notes imaginable... No need to say that Dream Theater as whole was (is) a band of gifted musicians with all a big backpack full of experience and high-class skills... John Myung for instance (the bassplayer) is just from another level.....
John has changed a bit over the years
Now John received the Sega European Guitar Award for all his achievements in musical history..... And I totally agree, he is something special. Guitarist whom went ahead of John are guitarist like Joe Bonamassa , Joe Satriani, our dutch legend Adrian van den berg amongst others. So he is among the best of the best...and that's where he belongs.
In the next clip there is the award ceremony with a great interview with John when he visited Holland. He is a humble guy with a great vision on music. It's really worth watching. At the end he plays a song together with his wife who also plays the guitar... Rare footage :)
Have a great home night :)

I've heard a fair bit of his playing and he's really good. He seems to be one of the modern guitar icons.

He really is @steevc , but he is also very diverse when it comes to playing, but for the most it's prog+metal = John :)

BTW One of my favourite bands, The Fierce and the Dead are playing in the Netherlands next year at the Prognosis festival. I won't be there, but they are playing a little warmup gig in London just before that and I will be at that.

Very nice! I have tried to get into Dream Theater, but they are always a little progressive and out there for me. The word Theater in their name really gives you a good idea of how the music is going to be. It feels more like an event than a song. I can totally appreciate their skill as musicians even if I don't quite get the music though :)
