Biography


John Petrucci was born on July 12, 1967 in Kings Park, New York|Kings Park , New York to an Italian American family. He picked up the guitar at the early age of 8 because his older sister was allowed to go to bed later in order to practice the piano. However he decided to quit the guitar when his attempts to stay up late were unsuccessful. He would later pick up the guitar again at the age of 12 when his childhood friend and future Dream Theater keyboardist Kevin Moore invited John to join his cover band.

John attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts|Boston with childhood friend John Myung ( bass guitar|bass ), where they met future bandmate Mike Portnoy ( Drum kit|drums ). These three in addition to Kevin Moore, formed the band Majesty, which would later become Dream Theater.

While Dream Theater is what Petrucci is most commonly associated with, he is also a part of the project band Liquid Tension Experiment and has appeared as a guest on several records by other artists such as the Age of Impact album by the Explorers Club (artist)|Explorer's Club .

Petrucci has released a guitar instructional video, "Rock Discipline", which covers warm up exercises, exercises to avoid injury while playing, alternate picking, sweep picking, chords and other techniques for developing one's guitar playing. Petrucci also has a book named "Guitar World presents John Petrucci's Wild Stringdom", which was compiled from columns he wrote for Guitar World magazine, bearing that same title.

In 2001, John Petrucci was invited by Joe Satriani and Steve Vai to tour with them on the popular G3 (tour)|G3 guitar tour , which exposed him to a massive number of new fans and inspired him to record a solo album. The album, Suspended Animation (John Petrucci album)|Suspended Animation , was released on March 1, 2005, and was made available for order from his web site. Petrucci also appeared on the 2005 and 2006 G3 tours, and in 2007, went on G3 tour again, this time with Paul Gilbert and Joe Satriani . In a recent video with Larry DiMarzio, Petrucci revealed that he's been working on a follow up to his 2004 album, "Suspended Animation" along with the new Dream Theater album. http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=-v0M_tSllDI

Petrucci also wrote and recorded two instrumental soundtrack songs for a Sega Saturn game titled Digital Pinball: Necronomicon . Each track is roughly two minutes long and they are simply titled "Prologue" and "Epilogue".

According to the spoof rock band Nightmare Cinema (the Dream Theater members changing instruments playing a gig) he got the "alternate stage name" Johnny James.

Dream Theater bandmate Jordan Rudess revealed in an interview that Petrucci is a practicing Catholic . http://faq.dtnorway.com/question/114 The Dream Theater official FAQ He currently lives in St. James, New York with his wife Rena Sands , a guitarist in the all-female heavy metal band Meanstreak (band)|Meanstreak , and they have 3 children, Samantha and Reny (who are twins), and Kiara. He is also an avid fan of bodybuilding and dedicates much of his off time to weight training . http://johnpetrucci.com/biography.htm The Official John Petrucci Web Site

He is a voting member of National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences|NARAS .

Musical style


Guitar Technique


Petrucci is respected for his variety of guitar styles and skills. One of the most notable of these is his high speed alternate picking which, as he himself claims, requires a "strong sense of synchronization between the two playing hands." John is notable for frequent use of the seven-string electric guitar, which he states is used as a "writing tool", taking advantage of the extended range both for heavier riffing (The Mirror) and to play extended range runs as part of a solo (This Dying Soul). Moreover, Petrucci often combines his metal shredding technique with a slower, emotive soloing style. Indeed, he has cited David Gilmour as an important influence. Utilising his wide variety of styles and influences, Petrucci has also been known to directly incorporate riffs and solos from other bands into live Dream Theater performances. For example, Pink Floyd's 'Have a Cigar' and Metallica's 'Enter Sandman' are referenced during the performance of 'Peruvian Skies' from the ' Once in a Livetime ' live album. Another example occurs in Dream Theater's live DVD ' Chaos in Motion ', during the extended version of 'Surrounded'. Here, Petrucci incorporates the guitar solo from 'Mother' by Pink Floyd. The varied examples of this further demonstrate Petrucci's wide range of influences.

In addition, Petrucci is the only band member to have contributed lyrics to every album; he's written lyrics for at least three songs for every single album. These include, among others, the fan favorite Metropolis, Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper , the heartfelt The Spirit Carries On , the politically-charged The Great Debate and the epic In the Presence of Enemies . Furthermore, Petrucci has used real-life experiences for lyrical inspiration, which includes songs as The Count of Tuscany , A Nightmare to Remember , and Endless Sacrifice .

Singing


Petrucci has been Dream Theater 's backing vocalist since the Awake's Tour. His singing is much darker than James Labrie 's and is often used in bridges like "Solitary Shell", and in choruses of songs such as "Forsaken" and "In The Name of God". On the EP Wither (EP)|Wither Petrucci performs lead vocals on an alternative, demo version of the title track. He had previously done his own vocals for "The Spirit Carries On". During live performances before the departure of Mike Portnoy , he only sang small sections of backing vocals or harmonies.

    • Since the Train of Thought World Tour , John has used two footrests made by Patrick Slaats (who also designs Jordan Rudess 's keyboard stands), such that they are book-ends for his pedalboard. These are utilised whenever Petrucci plays difficult-to-play passages within his songs, as he practices using proper classical guitar techniques - meaning that he rests his guitar on his left thigh when sequences get difficult. Before this, he used regular stage monitors to do this. He stated in the Live at Budokan DVD that he also has a "spit shield" around his cabinets, in order to avoid getting them defaced by Mike Portnoy 's "gobs of goobers" (spat-out chewing gum). He stopped using the spit shield on the A Dramatic Turn of Events tour due to Portnoy's departure.
