John Petrucci talks about his new Music Man guitar, working with DiMarzio & Ernie Ball, his live performances v. studio work, technique & testing new gear.
im not completely … im not completely sure, but i heard that the pros play with action that is sort of high, not like so high that you cant play but high enough that you dont get any buzzing. but i might be wrong. but on petruccis studio recordings his cleans are always sparkly and the ring like a bell. i think he had it set to about 3mm at the 12th fret
my rg350ex has the … my rg350ex has the best neck i have ever played on in my life. but the sound isnt that great because its not a high end guitar. an ibanez prestige on the other hand is very versatile and can really take care of most styles but it will cost a lot more. the EBMM JP6 though, is in a class of its own but it consequently costs the most. i recommend that if you have the cash for it. its a truly amazing guitar and the piezo is out of this world.
I love petrucci, … I love petrucci, one of my biggest influences, but Im not sure that I agree that he is the greatest of all time. In fact, I think there is a handful of guitarists that deserve the title, Shawn Lane, Greg Howe, Petrucci. It really comes down to personal preference when they get so good
wow, I think I’ve … wow, I think I’ve seen it all from John..but then I see some crazy stuff he improvises like 4:25 WOW He never ceases to amaze me haha thats probably why he is the greatest guitarist ever and my favorite guitarist of all time!
i believe they made … i believe they made a mistake in the video. That’s actually a Crunch Lab humbucker in the bridge, and the LiquiFire is in the Neck position.
Larry, maybe not … Larry, maybe not the best place to contact, but if you read this, is it possible to get the Crunch lab 7 pickup in a black/creme zebra colour?
On the website it doesn’t show it, but the D-Sonic 7 comes in black/creme.
Thanks for your time if you reply, and merry christmas!
