DREAM THEATER Guitarist JOHN PETRUCCI Posts New Lesson For Guitar World's Wild Stringdom: Triad Arpeggios

Dream Theater guitarist John Petrucci has posted his latest installment (September 1st, 2015) of Wild Stringdom via Guitar World. An excerpt is available below:

“I often use triadic arpeggio forms within my riffs and solos as a tool to create rich-sounding, poly-chordal sounds. I’d like to continue in that vein by presenting different ways in which to move from one arpeggio form to another, using a series of specific triads that complement one another well.

I hope these columns have been useful to you and have served to broaden your knowledge of the guitar while building up your chops. Thanks for reading.”
