John Petrucci gives a lesson on how to play fast with both legato and fast alternate picking and the hybrid of both. Be inspired to create licks like this instead of bashing him for being too fast. Oh, and if you do not like the annotations, don't look.

Thanks for your comment, but I have no power to get in contact with him. My best suggestion would be to get a VIP package when he goes on tour, because that includes a meet and greet

Hi I'm Josh,
I have always been searching for inspiration in my music. although I am only 15 years old, I have been playing guitar for 8 years and John Petrucci is without a doubt my biggest inspiration. Dream Theater is my favourite band, I went to see them in concert in melbourne this year, it was incredible. anyway overall John Petrucci is my hero and I would do anything to get in contact with him.
