John Petrucci =/

[Unhorizon]

I'm teaching myself a few Dream Theater and Liquid Tension experiment songs(at a very slow rate), and one of them is Universal Mind. I just downloaded the tab earlier and have been working on the opening riff. Take a look at it. I have it clean at 120bpm , but have no clue how I can get it up to 152, thats ridiculous. John Petrucci is incredible.

Just thought I'd let you guys take a look at this if you've never heard this awesome song before.

That's a great tune. Which reminds me; I should get working on that one again.:)

Hi,

That's a cool tune. John Petrucci supposedly uses alternate picking, but I use hammer ons/pull offs to play the opening riff, similar to how Paul Gilbert plays the string skipping arpeggio's (cannon in D) on the Intense Rock II vid.
