Dream Theater is one of the most respected metal progressive bands. In this lesson David Wallimann presents a rhythm track inspired by John Petrucci's guitar work, for 7-string guitar.

This is an instrumental song by Dream Theater that features the excellent guitar composition of John Petrucci in an intermediate level, perfect to make that leap to the next step in your playing.

This could happen if Dream Theater meets Led Zeppelin: A perfect symbiosis.
