Music: I have always had a contrasting love of what I find technically fascinating and what I find is beautiful or expressive. Sure, self-expression is what brings people together, but fellow craftsmen can always appreciate another's approach to the craft-- expanding and morphing that into a new living idea.... basically, I like anything passionate!

Hobbies: I was a Drummer-for-hire as a kid and played piano from an early age, but now I tend to play guitar because I started playing it after I got out of the music scene and am less anal about my guitar playing.

For me, life is about an endless cycle of learning, developing thoughts and sharing ideas in a way that brings people together. Enjoy the Vids, S.P.

There's always something funny and terrifying about expressing yourself through music (not lyrics, but notes).... My technique is terrible in this vid, but my state-of-mind is so sarcastic... that my phrasing and choice of notes are so self-indulgent and amusing.... anyway I think this is...

Another Amazing Petrucci Solo! This one is from the SFAM tour, so the the interpretation is closer to the album... and of course he's still using the MarkIIc+ so he has that sweet old-school tone. Enjoy!
