Greetings again, friends!
Here’s a video of myself playing the solo from The Best of Times by Dream Theater, from their latest album, Black Clouds & Silver Linings. This video is quite old as I recorded it a couple weeks after the album came out, and goes back to last July. The minute I heard the solo on the song, I fell in love with it, this is hands-down one of Petrucci’s greatest guitar solos of all-time, and being on the progressive metal band’s 10th studio record, that’s saying a lot: The solo combines not-so-easy guitar techniques and simultaneously, a heavenly melody that perfectly suits the song’s mood (go here for more info about the song). Anyhoo, this cover as I said goes back to summer of 2009, and I had then the intention of posting it but apparently forgot to and got caught up with other stuff. Note that this is recorded by a phone camera with a basic distortion of a small Marshall amp. Enjoy!
Hello.
As you may have noticed, my blog updates have been quite slow in the past few weeks, and throughout the previous month, I kept pushing myself not to write this kind of “apology” post because I wanted to update my blog frequently despite the endless daily tasks that have been coming up. But I realized currently that it’s quite hard, more like almost impossible, to post daily articles to my blog with so much to do. So, The updates will probably get even slower in the couple upcoming weeks, or even months, until I have sorted out everything I’ve set to do and accomplish, and then I will get back to updating my beloved website. And, just so you don’t return empty-handed, enjoy listening to Between The Buried And Me’s just-released ballad, entitled Mirrors, from their upcoming record, The Great Misdirect.
