Playing John Petrucci (music-man) solo with the LP

[abitran]

Hi guys,

To play John Petrucci solo's on the Gibson Les Paul, is not always simple!
The Music-Man guitar has 24 frets and the LP has only 22 frets.
When John bend his note on the 24 fret (2 semi-tones), we have to bend it from 22 fret to "26" fret (4 semi tones) -It's hard to be precise but not impossible! (see 3:02)

Although the lots of deferences between the 2 guitars (neck (for playing), pickups (for sound), etc'), I tried to get a similar sound to john, using my mesa/boogie roadster amp, rectifire cabinet & the SM57 mic.

Tell me what you think...

nice playing, man. I play both EBMM JP6 and Les Paul, always find them very different. The JP is like a slick fast sport car, whereas the LP is like American muscle, like a Mustang. I really liked how you got all those fast sweeps and runs very smooth on the LP

If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? Great playing, especially for a younger musician! Can't wait to see what you're capable of in another 10-15 years!
