This man has never been in a band that was deserving of him. His solo stuff is on another level. I admire his dedication and work ethic with the instrument. You don't become a modern day virtuoso looking for shortcuts and being lazy. What a monster!
The thing is he is humble, and he is happy to perform with other great musicians. It is also what made him as big and well-known as he is - he worked for half the money of other session musicians, and he worked twice as fast - so everyone in the industry thought they were getting a great guitarist for a steal (and they were) but it gave him a name and a reputation. He has built on that and had a blast doing it. What else could anyone ask for - doing what you love around people you not only feel a kinship with but admire as well and a resume that is crazy eclectic and impressive beyond belief.
A fan since he was with Manson. It was John 5 that inspired me to play the guitar. I saw him with Rob Zombie open for Godsmack in 2006 and then for Ozzy a few years later. He has only gotten better over the years . And now a stint with Motley Crue? That is a career for many right there. Many more years ahead for J5. 🤟🏼
I was just thinking their styles were similar haha. And they both have white guitars with killswitches. They'd even look like they were already a band.
The difference between a "shredder" and John 5 is that John 5 plays melodic riffs, organized with flow all within the "shredder" world. That is skill/practice & dedication. I don't have many guitar icons but he's definitely at the top. And a super humble soul at that.
For like the last decade John 5 has released some unique amazing sonic solo works , refreshing to hear n watch he's got chops to please any level of players n fan
Very creative. So many techniques in this one song. Nice melding of abstract and groove. He can shred with the best of them, but I like how he keeps it unique and interesting.
i THINK HE IS PLAYING ALONG WITH THE ALBUM TRACK AND IS SO PERFECT THAT YOU HAVE TO LISTEN FOR THE SUPER SLIGHT DIFFERENCES. tHAT SWEEP IS SUPER CLEAN!
Such a weird mix of diatonic playing like a beginner and stuff that is completely out of the box. John 5 was an inspiration after years of studying metal licks and getting bored with “traditional” metal playing.
He's a monster. I never knew it while he was in Manson. Then it's like he's this alien? How big are his hands? That forefinger to ring finger stretch on a 25.5 scale guitar is impressive.
Im a hobbyist guitarist most of my life, since the age of about 5 when my parents got me my first guitar, a Roy Rogers guitar in the early 70s (still have a picture of me with it on xmas day) I always mostly used a pick up until about 3 or 4 years ago and recently switched over to finger picking, because my hand just won't hold onto a pick anymore, it just gets too painful and also just refuses to hold onto it.
He was too nice of a guy to be in Manson. He said once in a throwaway comment that his band mates treated him really really poorly. J5 is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet and he deserves to be treated the same as he treats others.

He’s definitely a guitar treasure. His skill is outstanding

Never met a dude who is far too good to be in any of the bands he's been in. Absolute monster of a player

John 5 is a freak! Love this song and the play through was mind blowing! One of my favorite guitarists!
John is incredible.. I long await the day him and Buckethead release something together.
I was just thinking their styles were similar haha. And they both have white guitars with killswitches. They'd even look like they were already a band.
add in wes borland for a tornado of insanity 😂
He's really got his own unique style and sound. You know it's John 5 as soon as you hear him. That tele is cool AF too.
My face hurts from smiling.. I love everything about this dude and his music. Damn. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

What a banger of a track and guitar!
That’s one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen in my life 😍
John 5 is incredible!!
Its so freaking smooth and easy to watch but the execution itself is hard. One of my inspiration indeed!
I regret not buying this telecaster when it was released. Amazing run through by John as always.
It is very cool. Had to buy it directly from Fender.
@@Guitaroverkill They're almost double the price in Europe on the used market.
@@robotjeans Cool. I should have bought 3.
Very creative. So many techniques in this one song. Nice melding of abstract and groove.
He can shred with the best of them, but I like how he keeps it unique and interesting.
I want a John 5 tele so bad! The ultimate guitar!

Just wow! Really enjoyed it!
John5 and Wes borland's playing sounds like EDM love it
John 5 - офигенно крутой чувак!
Anyone else hear a little nod to Satch Boogie in there around the neighborhood of the bridge? Or is it just me?
It is impossible to deny this man's brilliance
so many guitar gems just by watching him play
John 5 is next level...this song is blowing my mind
Amazing
Fantastic!!!

John 5 is God 🎸
That riff is sick 🤘!!
Incredible 😮
Straight Up 1 Of The G O A T...🎸☮️🌏
He's a monster. I never knew it while he was in Manson. Then it's like he's this alien? How big are his hands? That forefinger to ring finger stretch on a 25.5 scale guitar is impressive.
Insane
This was really cool to see the techniques that you use for your unusual sounds. Absolutely awesome 🤘✌️🇺🇲
Incredible
Everything I want to hear come out of a guitar. Johnny 5 👍
Definitely becoming my favorite player.
Dudes sick i love it
I normally think signature guitars are stupid but that tele is actually sick and I kind of want one
Jon 5 & Wolfgang should jam ,,,it would be very interesting
He's just an all-around awesome entertainer/musician. Motley doesn't deserve him.

John 5 could be the worlds best metal instrumentalist the bands he’s been in just hold him back he’s to damn good
Fvcking badass!!
Hell yea
Hahahaha, WOW!! Beast player... super nice guy.... Detroit boy, what'd you expect, hey?!
Would love to see his solo show. Not tied to Motley Crue stuff.
Wow.
JOHN FIVE .............WICK 😁😊😃
O melhor no estilo , engole o tom morello facilmente , não é só barulho como esse , e sim , técnica , melodia e fundamento.
Way to good to be playing with Motley Crue!
❤❤❤
I wonder how many packs a day his guitar smokes? F'N Mad Lad.
🔥
The man knows.
🤘😎🤘🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥
Fkg legend .. always be .. 🤘😎
Ansioso por um novo álbum
I slowed this on Marty’s slow rider app. It’s still hard lol but my fingers are stretching so Viking death March got easier thx mr John
This is a neoclassical boss battle theme music
This guy is crazy good and he seems like a nice person too. I have no idea what he was doing with Mason; I am glad he is in a better place now.
He was too nice of a guy to be in Manson. He said once in a throwaway comment that his band mates treated him really really poorly. J5 is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet and he deserves to be treated the same as he treats others.
this is so fucking sick
Is he channeling Pink Floyd, Money?
Like the steve vai lick
Wow
Fuckin great
One day, with a lot of practice, John 5 might be as good as Lil Wayne on the guitar.
He always plays as if its a fucking game :D
Nucking futs!
dimarzio rules!
I kinda really want that Tele
Has kinda the same vibe with Polyphias's GOAT
that tele is white as f@@k damn clean
Sharing

Sounds like Buckethead.
