John Petrucci Guitar Lesson – The Art of Crunch
By Gerber | November 8, 2009
In this guitar lesson John Petrucci (Dream Theater) shows us how to get a crunchy sound.
Here are a few of the tips he mentions in the video:
- You don’t want too much distortion, because you want the low notes to be tight.
- Try turning up the gain while playing so you can aim for the best possible sound.
- You might want to turn the bass on the amp down a bit (depending on the amp).
- When palm muting don’t be concerned about hitting all the strings at the same time. You can scrape the pick across the strings.
Watch the video below to learn more.
