Cool instrument. I haven't seen it before. This would sound really cool on a psych band. Is there a band who uses Continuum?

I love the Continuum, it's an awesome instrument and I hope JR uses it on the next album.

Jordan is actually not a metal fan at all, he's a hardcore prog fan that only plays metal! That's probably why he has the shirt.

From his website, here are his favorite albums

Electric Ladyland - Hendrix
Free Hand - Gentle Giant
Dark Side of the Moon- Pink Floyd
Tarkus - ELP
Close to the Edge - YES
Trick of the Tail - Genesis
Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson

cooooooool.

There sure is a future for this instrument. I had always thought the intro in Octavarium was played by Petrucci with slide guitar. But no! It was Rudess with the continuum.
