In this episode of SOUNDING OFF we talk to Dream Theater's
Guitarist John Petrucci. Here is a bio of John:
John Peter Petrucci (born July 12, 1967) is an American guitarist,
composer and producer. He is best known as a founding member of the
progressive metal band Dream Theater. With his former bandmate Mike
Portnoy, he has produced all Dream Theater albums from 1999's
Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory to 2009's Black Clouds &
Silver Linings, and has been the sole producer of the band's albums
released since Portnoy's departure in 2010. Petrucci was named as
the third player on the G3 tour six times, more than any other
invited guitarist. Joel McIver's 2009 book The 100 Greatest Metal
Guitarists ranks Petrucci second, after Dave Mustaine. He was also
named as one of the "Top 10 Greatest Guitar Shredders of All Time"
by GuitarOne magazine. In 2012, Petrucci was ranked the 17th
greatest guitarist of all time by a Guitar World magazine reader's
poll.
