This guy makes me want to crawl into a ball and piss all over myself everytime I see him in action with a bass. It's just rediculous how clean/fast/and well planned he can play, granted speed is nearly just an impressing thing, but the abbility do the fast stuff and the slow stuff at the same level of proficiency is mind blowing.   |

Cheers.

His right hand has an incredible picking technique I admire too. He'll use fingers 1 and 3 then 2 and 4, and then mixes them all up into different patterns off of those as well.

He plays great. But IMO, especially in DT, I would rather him to turn up his friggin volume, do some - even if little - more solos, and not follow petrucci's guitar all the time.
Still he is a hero.
To prove my loyalty here is a drawing I have made of him years ago.

But he doesn't use 4 fingers on the right-hand I'm pretty sure.....
Very nice artwork artistanbul! You can try asking around at Dreamtheater.net and/or Mikeportnoy.com about sending that to JM...unfortunately he's so busy...especially since the upcoming tour and album...
And for that persson who said that he just follows the guitar.....who says he didn't make up the riff and the guitar is following the bass? I.E in Strange Deja Vu, that rocking riff halfway through was made up by JM!
Cheers

Cheers | Thanks for the compliment. And about the follows the guitar part, that is meant as in follows the guitar musically. And I guess he does it out of boredom. 
And uh.. I really would like tha man to see the drawing. If anyone could PM me about accomplishing that, I would be grateful.
