Last week, John Petrucci—along with an impressive roster of fellow axmen—invited guitarists from around the country to Glen Cove, NY for his Guitar Universe event.
Petrucci was joined by Al Di Meola, Guthrie Govan, Tosin Abasi, Tony MacAlpine, Rusty Cooley, Andy James, Jason Richardson and Jon Finn for this four day and night summer shred intensive, with plenty of clinics, classes and up-close interactions with attendees.
A guitar instruction camp like no other, John Petrucci’s Guitar Universe is tailored to players and music lovers of all ages, levels, interests and tastes. The environment is non-competitive and is strictly about immersing oneself in the joys of music and the lovely surroundings.
Check out some exclusive footage from the event below.
“I walk in and Hans has me sit down. And he goes, ‘Let’s just get down to business. I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately’”: After his spiritual awakening, Tim Henson is ready for anything – heavy Polyphia, trippy solo records and A-list film collabs
“There’s amazing players like Josh Smith and Eric Gales, and I thought, ‘OK, I’ve been missing out. I’m learning the blues’”: Tosin Abasi said he wanted to release a blues album – is it still on the cards?
