hey guys

this is a cover recording of one of my favorite Dream Theater songs, and one of my all time favorites aswell. its an amazing piece of music, and i think anyone who hasnt heard it before, whether if he is into DT or not, should check it out.
its the second track in Scenes From a Memory.

my version is lame in comparison. i didnt have much time to spend on it (about 15 minutes maybe), so i kinda rushed it and its far from being what i want it to be, but it'll have to do :laugh2: . the backing is a MIDI arragment.
i used my Ibanez on the bridge position for pretty much all of it except for the middle of the solo in which i used the neck position. :newangel:

please check it out if you want at:

hope you'll like it, Dream Theater is great!
 
Re: Dream Theater Cover

**** man, hats off to you, amazing playing on this

the only bit that didnt sound right was the intro, but unless you have a volume pedal thats not your fault at all.

shame the backing track isnt up to the standard of the original.

very awesome!
 
Re: Dream Theater Cover

thanks bro
but like i said, i did it very sloppy, and volume knobs on the guitar are realy not the way to get that effect :D :D
and yes, MIDI sucks ass. Portnoy Myung and Rudess couldnt come to record with me and have dinner so i had to go to plan B
 
Re: Dream Theater Cover

yeah there was one part where you went slightly out of time, just before the second keyboard solo i think, but other than that it was very good
 
Re: Dream Theater Cover

you know what

slowly and slowly i begin to hate you more :D


j/k

it's downloading right now. so i'll give you some constructive criticism when it's done :cool:

We can't just keep saying this guy is an amazing talent - we've got to start judging him by his own high standards.

Re: Dream Theater Cover

I think it's called "Overture 1928". It's nice, tho I think you hit the notes differently than Petrucci, and it has a different feel b/c of this. Your sound is much more percussive, and I'm not sure it works, sonically. Musically, it's cool. You did a nice job with it. The MIDI background sounds horrible ...
 
Re: Dream Theater Cover

To quote Cheat Commandos, "ROCK ROCK ON!!!"

I think I would give away all my gear in exchange for a Rogue to have your insane skill :)

You're the one that turned me onto DR Strings. Are you still using them?
 
Re: Dream Theater Cover

thanks alot you guys!

hahaha
Twilight bro, yes i did hit the notes differently, and damn well on purpose too.
i didnt want it to sound exactly like Petrucci, my style is different than his, and im not copying him.
i added some notes, and changed the way some notes feel, did a different vibrato and tried to give it a more legato-ish feel, petrucci's sound is much more "precise" and "tight", which is cool but its not the way i play.
i think of it more like paying tribute to this amazing song. and yes its called Overture 1928.
the midi IS pretty awful, but like i said DT couldnt make it for dinner so.. :D

biu, you got gear i would wish for myself. keep it :D
about DR strings, they are awsome, but i dont use them so frequently anymore. this was recorded with a set of Snarling Dogs 9-42 they have great bite and awsome clarity, and they last alot longer. i usually play 10 gauge strings, but i dunno the Ibanez plays so damn greaat with how its set up right now that im realy afraid to alter anything haha
 
Re: Dream Theater Cover

well, i dont see anything special about this. nothing that cant be done with a bit of work .. i like it, especially the riffing
 
Re: Dream Theater Cover
