John Petrucci 6 BFR; Liqifire Video!

[James C]

I found this old video on my phone of the Forsaken solo, if my memory recalls correctly it was done on my first try after learning the solo.
Though I'd say it's not a half bad tone for playing on a little Vypyr 30 modeling amp at work!
Figured I would share with the family since you're always wanting to see and hear balls all the time.
P.s. Don't mind the first 15 seconds of the video, just being silly.

Haha that made me LOL. Beautiful guitar. Great playing!

 

[James C]

It's a little rough around the edges, but hey! I didn't think it was horrible for a first attempt! ahaha
I wish I knew how my co-workers and I got on the topic of strumming behind the nut.

 

[Music Man Dan]

Well, it's definitely better than I can play that solo, that's for sure! Awesome guitar, and great playing!

 

[James C]

Thanks Dan!

 

[Norrin Radd]

Nice. I love how effortless it seemed. Serious confidence there - love it.

 

[James C]

Hahaha Thanks Norrin! Really though in my head I was like a little girl watching the movie "It" for the first time. Ahahah
Seriously though, the jump from the little cromatic part into the 6 string sweep just threw me off a little. I forgot what I was doing. Ahah

 

[colinboy]

very impressive mate for such a short clip!

 

[James C]

When I get the chance to record something with a real amp, and camera I'll be sure to share.

Thanks bazxkr! I actually did another video today... Well videos, I never did get the take I wanted.
So I'm going to take all the bloopers and put them into one video, there should be some laughs!
I'll post it up when I get the chance.

 

[Music Man Dan]

You mentioned doing some videos with a real amp...just out of curiosity, do you have another amp that you use this guitar with typically? If so, what is it?

 

[James C]

I do! I have a JSX 2x12 Combo, it's simpily amazing, I love it! Though apprently I don't love it enough since it's been sitting without tubes for almost a year now.
I played a Mark V the other day, and it sounded awesome. So my next purchase is going to either be the Mark V or an Engl Steve Morse. Just a half-stack.
Eventually I'll get the JSX retubed. Ahah
