This DVD is not "How To Play Like Me: John Petrucci". It's literally all about discipline, technique, and musicianship. Best quote from this DVD is at 30:20. But I will say this to all you aspiring guitarists out there: don't feel like you "have to" play like JP in order to be a guitarist. Play the music that interests you and develop the skills and techniques associated with that genre... then you can express yourself however you want. The jazz musician doesn't improvise by practicing improvisational scales, the jazz musician practices traditional forms and scales first, then learns to break the rules later. The same can be said for rock, blues, and metal. Learn the rules, then break them! Now go forth and rock!

This VHS was a double edge sword when I was a teen picking up a guitar. Technically, I got so good and obsessed with tempo, clean picking and playing fast. At the same time, I neglected every other aspect of guitar playing, which is making music. Looking back, John focuses on being professional; hard work, practice practice practice, discipline. I misunderstood and ended up trying to be like JP. All good now, I found myself musically many years ago. Thanks for sharing!

Tip: start the warm up exercises at the 15th fret instead! WAY easier than the 9th and it’s more about learning the patterns in the beginning (not doing super hard stretches). Seriously DONT hurt yourself!

But if you practice with this video, and practice well, you will see improvement, day by day, week by week. Cheers JP. thanks for the great tool.

GUYS On the first right hand exercise (Major add10 Barre chords/string skipping) go around the circle of fifths to help you memorise. For example, start at C, play the exercise and when it's time to switch into the next chord, find the 5th of C (think of a 5th chord/power chord, that's a big hint) and then switch to where you can find the full barre chord of that note on the E string. C (8th fret) goes to G (3rd fret). G goes to D (10th fret). D goes to A (5th fret) e.g.
