Day 1

Welcome to DreamTheater.com! Here I am sitting at my "command console" managing my various Internet projects.

I am a multimedia developer, Internet strategist, and business consultant, among other things. I listen to Dream Theater every day as I have yet to grow tired of anything they have produced.

This book is exactly what the doctor ordered. Following is a quick summary of my observations.

Alright, so like I promised here is the bass.

I just cracked open John Petrruci's Wild Stringdom  instructional book, popped in the CD that comes with it, and read chapter 1. John talks about the importance of establishing a solid practice routine. He gives good practical advice that I will try to follow as I embark on this mission to complete the tab book cover-to-cover, note for note.

Chapter 2 is where the fun begins. He specifically covers the importance
