What happens when you’re stuck in quarantine for months? Well, for John Petrucci it was putting the wraps on his second solo album ‘Terminal Velocity’. After 15 long years the guitarist has finally found the time to put 9 more solid instrumental guitar tracks to tape, and if that wasn’t enough, he’s also joined for the first time in 10 years by Mike Portnoy.

Hey friends! I'm just getting set up in my new place, and I decided to create a quick iPhone video to let you know of a cool place for guitarists to hang out. I recently created the Chasing Sound Guitar Hangout Discord server. It's a bunch of chat rooms where we can discuss gear, guitar videos and so much more. If you want to meet other guitar players who are awesome, you should join!

If you're just starting out on guitar, or even if you've played guitar for years, you should check out Play Guitar Hits if you want to learn songs.. It's an app from the makers of the excellent transcription software Guitar Pro. It has big starting catalog of over 50 songs, lots of customization options, and is a great practice tool on the iPhone or iPad.
