But i love listening to the lessons!- thefireball20th March 2010
I love your performance on this song! I had first listened to this song played by Funtwo on YouTube. But you do a much better job! I love your 7 string! One day I'll probably get one too. Then I can play heavy metal riffs and such without having to tune down.
Marcus Siepen14th March 2010Awesome lesson Daniel

Welcome to the “Overture 1928” song lesson!
For me this song summarizes a lot of what John Petrucci’s playing is about in Dream Theater in an intermediate level.
You can find the nice open chords riffing, the palm mutes, the odd time signatures, the melodic solos, the shredding solos, the unisons and the overall great composition.
There’s nothing better than practicing an instrument with music that you love and for me this was one of the songs that really helped me go a step above from where I was at the time. It was a challenge that I was set to achieve that eventually made me a greater guitarist, so my advice is that you take it! Not only this but many other great tracks that are available here in GMC!
