Title: Great Pointers from the Man Himself
Review: John Petrucci shows off his jaw dropping speed, but more importantly, how to acheive it. He breaks down the video to focus on different aspects of technique: legato (left hand), alternate picking, the glorious sweep picking, as well as important overlooked concepts, such as stretching and warming up. Petrucci also gives a little insight into himself; he discusses his influences, approaches toward songwriting and band situations, and at the end, he gives a little tour of his rig (from the Awake era). This video is definitely an A+. This video definitely shows the benefits of a good practice regimen, and each exercise concentrates on important (and often overlooked) aspects of technique.
