As the Dream Theater guitarist welcomes just his second solo album into the world, we caught up with the hirsute 53-year-old to talk tone, technique and his grooming regimen.
On the verge of 14th album Distance Over Time, the spectacularly talented guitarist sees Dream Theater celebrate their 30th anniversary with two Grammy Award nominations and millions of album sales to their name. We sit down with Petrucci about the blues, signature gear and why Joe Satriani still amazes him.
Dream Theater’s latest offering, The Astonishing, is just that – a two-hour concept album telling an engrossing story, with music written by guitarist John Petrucci.
