One of the HARDEST Dream Theater solos! Also one of my favorites!

[Tonatiuth]

Awake record is a hidden gem for the kids of tomorrow. Well played, amazing as always

[josemojicaperez]

Great song "Innocence Faded".

[nillerp]

Ugh, one of my favorite solos. Not immediately flashy or crazy but amazing and so hard to play. Well done!

[academaciated]

Don’t know how you guitarists do it... awesome!

[federecata]

The dynamic of this solo is outstandingly fluid. It's beautiful!

[sound_sprut]

Absolutely insane technically and melodically!) One word - master)

[Askebon]

Damn!! VERY Well done!!! Insane string skips and everything! I have always had this particular solo in my mind as one the best Petrucci moments and at the same time amongst the most underrated solos! Kudos!

[chnzn]

Outstanding playing!

The whole outro for that song is great. A very under-rated DT moment, fa sho.

[EvilSkeltos]

Nice you pulled it off for sure! Sounds great.

[alejandromartinez]

The alternate picking of this solo is crazy!!! Great job!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[siddharth]

100%. The unison/solo section from Never enough was the finger breaker for me. Learnt a lot from your videos over the last 12 years that I’ve been watching you. Amazing man. Thank you.

[riffpad]

I found this to be one of the "easier" hard solos he does. He has way more difficult solos for sure!

[NTesla]

Great playing man, very underrated solo and track in general. IMO also one of James' best vocal recordings in their discography

[TheDoneroll]

Yes Sir I agree with you .. and i remembered still like 12 years ago or more, you've made a Video of this Outro guitar solo, and i was amazed ... then you've commented to my comment, it took you 99 nth times to be able to pulled this off.... 👏👏👏

[Skyfishpublishing]

Flawless. I don’t usually dig cover solos, but this was great and nice to see the arrangement. I might watch it again 🤘

[hruaiachhangte]

It's really *hard* to say Dream Theater solos are *hard* to play for you.

Actaully, you've just nailed it!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[solinvictus]

Innocence Faded probably is my favorite solo, period

[garylayton]

One of my favorites from Petrucci. It’s definitely hard to play; it follows the chord progression to a tee. Great job playing it! 🤘

[EY]

Fantastic playing! And as far as this solo in the Petrucci canon, I’ve always loved it because of the obvious phrasing, melody, and chops, but more than anything-playing changes! Great stuff my man!

[denniswilliams]

Great Sounds perfect ... it always amazes me that someone wrote that! Pure genius!!
