Topic: Rank Petruccis guitar strings Posted: February 13 2006 at 17:16 |
I think E (assuming the guitar is in standard tuning) is the highest ptched of Petrucci's strings - let's see what the experts have to say!

I don't know his strings very well. What brand are they? Ok, I'm guessing - G

Umm, of course it's an E string that is the highest pitch. On These Walls, Petrucci uses a Musicman Baritone in which I believe B is the highest pitch string. Even with his seven though, Petrucci's highest pitch string is E. Very rarely does he tune to anything else.

Where's the low B string?
That's his best - rockin' that 7 string Ibanez.

It's not an Ibanez. Well, I don't know if it was a while ago, but it's not anymore.

It was indeed!
John Petrucci used Ibanez guitars from their first release "When Dream And Day Unite" to their 4th Studio album "Falling Into Infinity" included, then he began to play the "John Petrucci" Signature Model by Music Man (from "Metropolis pt.II : Scenes From A Memory" to "Octavarium").

On the newer albums he's been using some different tunings like D standard, C standard, Eb standard , and the music man Silhouette bass(which is a baritone guitar which is in A) and he uses that on These Walls, Blind Faith, and Panic Attack But i think he tunes it a half step higher for that song. and maybe he uses it on other songs but im not sure

Yes recently he's been doing a few more songs with altered tunings. I was just thinking overall probably from WDaDU-SDoIt, Petrucci used standard six and seven string tunings with the occaisional baritone.
