Jordan Ruddes does [have a home studio], but it's all self-contained. I'll be the only guy with a fully built recording studio. So they'll have to come to me.

We're always in that head space about the audience and less about us at that moment.
John Petrucci

It's hard to answer that from my own perspective because when I'm playing I know where it is coming from and the sources.

Almost 15 with music, we have so many guitars that we developed over the years. The latest one is 'The Majesty' guitar, which I'm really proud of.

Stay focused when you're playing alive, so you're not distracted by something going on.

I've always said that there's a huge progressive rock, progressive metal audience out there, in the world.

Guitar players get inward and analytical about their playing but when you start to get positive feedback from other players it makes you think that it is coming together.

You're about to walk on stage and play together for the next few hours so you want to feel connected and make sure that everyone is in the same head space a good head space.

It's probably no coincidence with the internet and social media and the word being able to spread beyond the radio, where fans can go and talk and congregate and trade stories and a band could communicate news very quickly and in a worldwide basis. I'm sure that's helped in bringing in this case us to more of the forefront of peoples attention.

With all tools at my disposal, I'm 100% into chasing tone and checking out new equipment and geeking out during sound check by taking too much time.

Out of Berklee Dream Theater was born and we've been together ever since. I didn't have to taste that feeling of defeat.

Going to the Grammys, being nominated for a Grammy, that was a really big deal for me, for us as a band.

Real thick strings - your hands start to get fatigued. As much as you practice, and as much experience as you have, and as long as you've been playing, there is a fatigue point during the show, as with anything that's physical. So I wanted to basically pace myself better.

I have to say that our fans have been absolutely wonderful all across the world.

I experimented a bunch with Ernie Ball in getting the strings to not flop around too much, but at the same time not to be too thick to where you're playing telephone cables.

You try to play the song better than you had before.

My main objective with a home studio - I could get into doing full band demos - but my first objective is to cut things like guitar tracks and solos at home.

As far as bands doing that in a way where they think they're going to fight the government, the only people they're really hurting is the fans.

Even with Dream Theater, we track in a big studio and everything. But when it comes to doing leads, I don't really require a lot of studio to do that. I need a good sounding room and a Pro Tools rig, and some Neve mic-pres, and I'm good.

I went straight out of high school, and when I was 17, all I wanted to do was play guitar.
