    I've been in a rut for the past few months and haven't picked up my guitar at all. After watching this I've been inspired. Thanks John 5. I really needed this post. ❤

      Same, but for me it was early 80’s EVH,. John is in my top five of most well rounded guitar players.

      Gotta push through the tough times! Practice is especially important when you are having a slump or the like. A few days off isn’t a bad idea, but you have to get back on the horse. Anyone can get through the easy times, but the hard times are the true test. Let’s get busy, friends! ❤

    Never ceases to amaze me that whatever genre of music a well known guitarist, etc is associated with, they surprise you with their talent by playing something you would never expect them to play and are first & foremost a "professional" for a reason. You sir, are one of those people.😎

    The master of shifting styles like a chameleon, John5 lays down a flow that Wes would envy. The torrent flowing out from John's guitar could make Django stop playing to listen.
    If Chet was still around, I believe John5 would certainly acquire the rare highly distinguished title of "Certified Guitar Player" as he clearly demonstrates the necessary skills, traits and accomplishments.
