5.0 out of 5 stars A musician's guide to songwriting, January 3, 2002
By Sean Pearson (Upstate NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Where I really learn from Dream Theater is when I read this score while the CD is playing. Because, after all, this book really is a very thorough score for the album, allowing you to watch at least two of the parts in action (guitar and voice), plus the occasional piano part written out. Since I play both piano and guitar, and sing, it's like having a partial orchestration provided for my education. And I do learn from this music. You will, too, and that can only help your own technical ability. Of course, you really need to know how to read music (and quickly, in some sections) to read the book while the CD is playing. As Petrucci says in another book, regular practice is the greatest boost to proficiency - so if you get this book, read thru it with the studio recording, and practice regularly, you will learn how to play this music. Maybe not as well, maybe not as spontaneously, but there are so many techniques here you'll gain a solid foundation for rock playing and writing. Not a bad return on your $25 investment, as long as you're willing to put in the time, too.

Not every page is going to surprise you, because there's a lot of repetition in DT's music and usually with enough subtle variation that few shortcuts can be taken and still remain faithful to the original songs. You'll see that here. You'll also see plenty of "Riffs" and "Rhythm Figures", too. Again, the trick is to see how they constructed their songs and appreciate both the repetition and the changes.

You will learn from this book, which is an excellent transcription of the guitar and voice parts, and I think you'll enjoy it every step of the way. 5 stars simply because this is such a great resource for any guitarist's education -- and it's such great music, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars This should keep you busy for the rest of your life!, November 5, 2000
By Mr T C Moore (Bude, Cornwall United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Absolutley amazing, great transcriptions, no mistakes and plenty of ridiculously fast runs, sweeps and other fretboard trickery! You can use the book to practise the songs or just use it as a reference to practice technique etc.

One drawback is that no keyboard parts were transcribed for guitar, but apart from that it's pretty cool.

I urge any rock guitarist/dream theater fan to buy this....NOW!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Have for any DT Fan, November 14, 2000
By T. Harris "T.Harris" (APO, AE United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a must for any fan of Dream Theater and John Petrucci. You can actually realize the way the guitar parts are arranged to the rest of the music. What I found amazing was all the songs lyrics are written by Mile Portnoy, John Petrucci and a song from John Myung. So you actually get a taste for how they wrtie the music and lyrics to balance each other. Great book!
