Here's one for you. Has anybody heard of Dream Theatre or John Patrutti? If you have please comment. What do you guys think?

You mean john petrucci he's a great guitarist. He knows alot but he doesn't really have his own unique style. For example if you hear just one note from Hendrix you know it's him or Eddie Van Halen,Jeff beck,Clapton etc....

Overall he smokes most of them with clean speed and technique.
Not for everyone though.

Dream Theater sounds alot like the band Rush or Genesis but alot more heavy.

Love em.The general public isn`t into 5/8 time and some of the odd time signatures they use.This is a real musicians band.

their music rocks. I moved on to them since Extreme disbanded.
EROTOMANIA (Their other songs are good too, but this is the first song of theirs i play..........on the CD player of course hehehehe )

I like DT a lot, John Petrucci is one of my favourite guitar player. I figured out how to play many of their songs, with a lot of trouble of course (months of practicing ). Some of my favourites: Erotomania, The Dance of Eternity, A Change Of Seasons, The Glass Prison, As I Am.

I like Dream Theater, but I like Liquid Tension Experiment better. However, I haven't been able to find a CD anywhere, even the used music stores.

If you don't know if you like dream theater or LTE, you can check out some MIDI's (low quality sound files) at dreamtheater.net in the media section.

Come on dudes, John Petrucci is great Dream Teather is great, i mean, i've seen his guitar lessons on tape great technics and speed. And inside the string picing .
If you haven't seen John Petrucci buy G3 live from Tokio now there is the power of Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Petrucci.
