PRACTISE
Is the only thing I can give you. Like Ids said, is not the gear that makes you good, is the time you put on it! Everyone can be good, if you put time and passion on it. I swear. Good luck in your journey!
It all starts with the right guyliner.
Just kidding – practice, knowing what you want, and learning from your heroes while forging your own path and distinct voice.
The best advice I can give is practice practice and PRACTICE. I played a mesa 2c+ and a jp15 and I didn’t sound like petrucci so it must be in the hands and it is. The best thing to do is listen to syns influences, find where he got his style and learn licks and techniques from both them and syn.
I stopped trying to sound like anyone and if I’m honest there are 3 people who directly influence me and that is because I don’t dwell on others playing and nailing their sound because then you are just a copy of someone else (Think of the hate greta van fleet got).
I would recommend forging your own style but learn the techniques syn uses.
