Is Acid Rain by Liquid Tension Experiment John Petrucci's HARDEST 7 string riff??? I don't know, but I think it's the hardest one I've learned! It's an obstacle course of pulloffs, open strings, position shifts, and picking patterns, and I've never learned it.... until today! And Uncle Ben here is bringing YOU along for the ride and showing you all the tips and tricks that helped me NAIL IT!
This video was inspired by the BEAUTIFUL new Ernie Ball Music Man JP15 7 string that I got from Sweetwater in their EXCLUSIVE Sapphire Iris finish. It plays and sounds every bit as good as it looks!!! Playing that through the Petrucci Rig on the Fractal Axe FX III.
What's your favorite Petrucci riff from Dream Theater, LTE, or his solo career? Let me know in the comments!
