Guitar players get inward and analytical about their playing but when you start to get positive feedback from other players it makes you think that it is coming together.
John PetrucciInstead of buying a guitar for $2,000 or $2,500 - I'm not sure how much these are going for - but it's maybe $300 or something like that. It's more for beginners and stuff like that. Obviously it's not hitting the pros. And you can't get the Piezo pickup and the color-changing paint and the inlays and all the fancy things that my signature guitars offer, but you can get the general feel of the guitar - and the body style. It's cool.
John PetrucciAlmost 15 with music, we have so many guitars that we developed over the years. The latest one is 'The Majesty' guitar, which I'm really proud of.
John PetrucciOut of Berklee Dream Theater was born and we've been together ever since. I didn't have to taste that feeling of defeat.
