One of the perks of this job is that there are some incredibly talented people who's brain I can pick about their craft, and guitar virtuoso John Petrucci is definitely one of these people. Listening to his second solo record Terminal Velocity was an absolute pleasure, and as someone who tries to play guitar from time to time, also made me question my life choices a little bit. On the record Petrucci delves into sides of himself he doesn't often get to show in his other creative outings like progressive metal juggernaut Dream Theater. We spoke about the blues, the impact of the late Eddie van Halen, his approach to the guitar, the album of course, and a lot more. I hope you enjoy it.
