I kept on finding all the technical guitar wizards. And what I really liked about Petrucci was he was an incredible part of a band with three other astoundingly good musicians.

The interplay with all members is crazy but the intricacy to which Petrucci and Rudess do things is unlike anything I’ve heard. The riffs and technical prowess draw me in but once again it’s Petrucci’s ear for melodies that keep me coming back.

His soloing is epic and the playing throughout the entire Dream Theater discography is extraordinary.
