Mas allá del cuero, la estridencia, el pelo largo y la apariencia extravagante, muchos son los guitarristas de la escena del Metal que tienen una marcada formación en la música del jazz, como es el caso concreto del virtuoso músico John Petrucci.
John Petrucci
Guitarrista
Por esto podemos hablar de una fusión entre el Jazz y el Rock Metálico Progresivo, donde el jazz transforma sus cristalinas sucesiones de notas, y melodías pulidas, en una música excitante cargada de una fuerza arrolladora.
Ademas de tocar guitarra, el disciplinado músico John Petrucci es escritor y ejecuta otros instrumentos: armónica, violín y piano.

Born John Peter Petrucci on July 12, 1967, he grew up in Kings Park, New York, a small suburban town on Long Island. John began playing guitar at age 12 and quickly realized that music was his passion and that the pursuit of excellence on his instrument would consume him for the years to come. To that end, he practiced for at least 6 hours a day in an effort to further his understanding and technical abilities as a guitar player. Some of his early influences include Steve Morse, Al DiMeola, Steve Howe, Allan Holdsworth, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Randy Rhoads, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Alex Lifeson, Yngwie Malmsteen, Rush, Yes, Iron Maiden, The Dregs and Metallica. At age 18 after graduating from high school, he attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston along with schoolmate/bassist John Myung where they fatefully met drummer Mike Portnoy and quickly formed the nucleus of what was to become Dream Theater.
