Dream Theater tab books REDONE (because the old ones are inaccurate)

Another Day - How It's Played Episode 6

I got my copy of the book... damn this stuff is fun to tear into. Petrucci's a genius and Evan has god level ears to figure all this stuff out so accurately. If there's a note out of place in these I doubt anybody even JP could find it.

Take the Time - How It's Played Episode 7

 

[dt89]

This solo is actually much easier to play than how it's written in the original tab book.

Surrounded - How It's Played Episode 8

 

[dt89]

The way this part was written in the original book was practically impossible to play. It's still quite a challenge the JP way though.

Metropolis - Part I - How It's Played Episode 9

Awake is coming next week!

I sent you an email! You’re a saint.

I've improved a lot as a player since my early days when my Dream Theater fascination really pushed me to start practicing guitar and improve. I thought some of this stuff would be easier to tackle but its still kicking my ass!!

Evan just sent me the Awake Tab book. Digging into it!!

The Images and Words trascriptions are simply fabulous work.

Congratulations Evan on a very difficult task, you delivered 101%!!

One of the recurring themes with the old Dream Theater tab books: take an already difficult part and make it practically impossible by transcribing it in a horribly awkward way.

These tabs are awesome! Now just got to sit down and learn some of this stuff.

Anyone looking to improve their string skipping would do well to learn this section.

Innocence Faded - How It's Played Episode 14

Brilliant work, I am so happy having a change of season tab ! And you even thought of removing the notation that bothered me in d/t.
Began to play some i&w songs and already felt it easier than the book.

I'm astonished my jp approved official tabs suck

OMG. It has been a very long time since I have been on this forum. Thank you for this. I'm certainly going to be checking out your work.

The original book is missing some key details in the "classical" section:

Erotomania - How It's Played Episode 15

 

[dt89]

Voices - How It's Played Episode 16

The Silent Man - How It's Played Episode 17

 

[dt89]

Another part that was unplayable in the original Awake book:

The Mirror - How It's Played Episode 18

 

[dt89]

I'm convinced the original transcribers wrote out some of these parts without ever thinking about how to actually play them.
