“Definitely an important aspect of my playing is keeping my hands in sy...” — John Petrucci Quote

Definitely an important aspect of my playing is keeping my hands in sync.

The cool thing about our fans is that they're not just passive concert goers.

Just because something is melodic or catchy doesn't mean that it doesn't have depth and substance and progressive sensibilities.

To play sweep arpeggios correctly, you have to mute each note with the left hand immediately after picking it.

Oftentimes, whenever I do interviews with guitar magazines and we discuss my influences, I mention people like Steve Morse, Alex Lifeson, Al Di Meola - but John Scofield's name never comes up. And that's funny because he's so amazing; he's the epitome of a really cool guitar player.

The live performance aspect of shooting a multicamera sitcom is wonderful. You have that instant audience reaction.

The nice thing about gag manga is how it has this aspect where, at the very least, you're permitted to come out with anything. In my case, anything can talk. Like the mountains.

Americans different in some maybe thoughts or emphasis still have the same ideas. They want a government that lets them be free, that leaves them alone, that doesn't interrupt and interfere with every aspect of their life, that lets them go to work and keep more of what they've worked hard to have.

I'm in deep in everything, every moment of the day. I create the systems and oversee every aspect of the execution. Every mark on a sculpture and every brush-stroke on a painting is in a controlled situation, exactly as they'd be if I'd have done them myself.
