John Petrucci / Dream Theater Info

John Petrucci is best known as the guitarist and founding member of the progressive metal band Dream Theater. He is also the band's producer and main lyricist as well as an original member of the acclaimed Liquid Tension Experiment with Tony Levin. John is a long standing veteran of Joe Satriani's prestigious G3 tours along with Steve Vai, Eric Johnson and Paul Gilbert.

A long time Dunlop Jazz III proponent, John said this about playing the pick for the last 20 years, “I like the tone of it, the way the strings sound when the pick comes in contact. There’s a certain fatness, or sweetness, and the high end comes through great…It’s very conducive to playing fast; that is, it doesn’t give way, or antagonize what you’re doing. The point just glides on the strings, and it sounds very precise with lots of clarity.”

Dunlop plans on releasing the John Petrucci Signature Jazz 2.0 Pick in 2012.
