John Ro Myung (pronounced My-ung) is a bassist and a founding member of the progressive metal group Dream Theater.
Myung is famous for his practicing principles; both Kevin Shirley on the Metropolis 2000: Scenes From New York DVD as well as former keyboardist Derek Sherinian on his website state that John Myung is the only musician they know who warms down after a show.
John began playing bass at the relatively late age of 16, but because of his classically trained background on the violin he was able to move quickly from his beginner-level "Memphis" brand Precision bass copy to a salmon-colored four-string Fender Jazz bass.

Bassists using six-string basses include Phil Lesh, John Patitucci, Primus' Les Claypool, New Order's Peter Hook, The Church's Steve Kilbey and Dream Theater's John Myung.
Detuners, one of which is sold under the name Hipshot, are mechanical devices operated by the left-hand thumb that allow one or more strings to be instantly detuned to a pre-set lower pitch.
In the two-handed tapping style, both hands play notes by rapidly pressing and holding the string to the fret, which makes it possible to play contrapuntally, and utilize chords and arpeggios.
