Playing a 7-string guitar song on a 6-string guitar
In this video
John Petrucci tries to explain how a guy is doing a cover of one of his 7-string songs using a 6-string guitar, but I don't really understand what he is saying. Anybody can help?

He's describing the effect that happens when you play a perfect fourth with a distorted guitar. Distortion intensifies the intermodulation effect between the two strings to produce sum-tones and difference-tones.
$4.5.$5.5 $4.5.$5.5.$6.3 $4.6.$5.6 $4.6.$5.6.$6.4
$4.7.$5.7 $4.7.$5.7.$6.5
Basically playing the partial power-chord makes it sound like a full power-chord.

So, is a partial power chord P4, and a power chord P5? Or is partial using only two strings? (Not seen video).

It's a P4 which implies the root beneath, with distortion it actually produces the sub-harmonic.
