The thing is that John 5 can play just about anything, beautifully. He has the raw skill, lyrical talent and pure joy and love of music that makes his music rare and exciting.
Nashville is my home town. I spend 40 something years there, and Hee Haw was a staple for evening viewing . It would be great if they brought it back, but they would probably ruin it somehow.
Roy Clark was a great musician, there's lots worse folks to take inspiration from. I watched Hee Haw as a kid - it was terrible, but the music was amazing. Keep in mind at that same age I was listening to The Sex Pistols, and Broadway musicals too...
Yeah Roy Clark can shred on so many instruments, it's amazing, such a good showman. no matter what particular genre is your favorite, if you have ever played an instrument, you can appreciate these guys. Pros
@@Maikel1500 A friend told me her name is Rita Aghajani, now named Rita Lowery (John 5's real name.) Unfortunately, she was never a porn star, or even a model (my friend says.) She was a hair stylist, and as such there are hardly any pictures of her around, and none are too sexy. I know, trust me, because my friend did a thorough check. But I you do find something, even a nice swimsuit pic, you let us know! My friend would appreciate it greatly!
I haven't re-watched this in almost 6 goddamn years, and RUclips has been recommending it to me every...fcking...day since. FINE. I'll watch it again. I GIVE UP.
I heard John was a huge Hee Haw fan and use to study Roy Clark's style. Roy was amazing in his own right. I use to watch it in the 60's. It's a hillbilly Laugh-in.
I remember John playing great guitar through my old Fender Concert amp at the Toby Jug in Reseda CA in 1991 or so. I had a cover band with Charles Button and Erin McGuire. John was very nice to me. I lost his card a long time ago.
As a Nashville native that grew up on Hee Haw, I was rolling on the floor laughing at the parody. Hilarious and hit the right spot on my warped sense of humor. Music was awesome as well, you just earned a new fan here.
The fact he’s stuck with a Telecaster for all these years really illustrates the session guitarist he started out as. It’s a guitar that can play absolutely anything, and it does it well too. I’ll never give up my Tele.
Played guitar 35 years till arthritis fucked my hands up. With that said John 5 is one of the most versatile and GREAT musical guitar players I have ever seen. This guy is a great musician and player. Kudos John.👍💩
dude!!! that was SICK !!! I grew up listening to my grandpa and others jamming like this in the kitchen of their house....this song took me back there....thank you !!! you sir, are a beast!! CHEERS!
I am the same age as you are John and grew up on Hee Haw. I LOVED this video and would love to see more! I think you onto something that could explode on social media.
LOVE the tribute to a childhood pastime, Mr. 5!!! Such a great video- brilliant to have your beautiful wife and Co. included, and the playing...out of this world original! youre a legend, which is why Ill always try to make it to any live shows that I can. Thank you for the quality entertainment!
That's some real musical talent. Thankx for the sounds, it was great from start to finish and all the way around. It's not easy for find melodic picking supported by tremendous rolling bass and just-right percussion. Wow. Keep up the good work.
Hee Haw was a phenomenal show with extremely talented cast members and guests The amount of talent that came from that show is amazing I would like to see more like this John five do you know how to pick the banjo
I grew up watching hee haw with my grandfather. This is really what it looked like some nights. Corny jokes and then a lesson in technique. All three are amazing.
You also heared the Intro-sample, didn't u ?! xD I heared this weired style & get directly catched by Ren and Stimpy & the exclusive picture-zoom moments 😵 🙌😂 Cartoon Network made my youth 😎👊
I used to watch Hee Haw at my grandparents' house when I was a kid. I've been DVRing it for nostalgia. A lot of great music on that show, but the jokes...wow. Always glad to see a clever parody. If you haven't seen it, look for "Horse Apples" from Wonder Showzen.
The producers of “Hell Haw” have lost their ever-lovin’ minds. But I have to confess they are funny 😆, not to mention that Buck Owens, Roy Clark and other dearly departed would be in high rotation to see this depiction!
Same here! I'm 53, born in 67'. The family watched, and I always remember waiting for the "corny jokes"(well, I think I was more looking forward to one of the hot Her Haw "Honeys" popping up! I think they were reruns in the late 70's, as I believe we watched nightly? An Epic show! With bad jokes, much "stupidity", along with the most incredible musicians! A once in a lifetime "show"! Thanks for sparking my memory! Have a great one!
Very impressive show and if I had the studios and money to sign these guys up for a prime time TV slot, I'd hire them on the spot! As soon as I make a few mil (on my way now) I will be in touch and do just that! Great job and keep up the Hellish Good work!! Beautiful ladies too!
keep going john 5 love your guitar over the years im up in Montreal ive played over 33 years i have a killer band an cool recording studio ...never stop
@@c2e.7877 Soothsayer is one of the first songs without lyrics that still somehow spoke to me, I've always wondered if it effected other's the same way.

Right on... When you are a Metal Head, but really dig Roy Clark, Jerry Reed, and Buck Owens too.
I don't see how any guitarist that takes it seriously wouldn't be impressed by the likes of Roy Clark and Glen Campbell.
@@eyellgeteven9928?
@@ericschulze5641 Go find a video of Glen Campbell playing guitar, or Roy Clark playing banjo, and you'll see what I'm saying.
You nailed it
And George Gershwin?
This needs to become a series! I'd totally watch every week!
This needs to be a real show. I'd never miss an episode.
Hell yeah!
He's got rhythm who could ask for anything more
John 5 has said on many occasions that Roy Clark and Hee Haw were one of his biggest influences. That's awsome
It's amazing how this song is so "Clean" Brushes on the snare and clean Bass with John 5 with NO EFFECTS just clean pickin' on a telecaster. A+

Unbelievable, I might have seen that show. We were scouting Toby Jug that night for a future gig
Whoa, this Country Jazz stuff is pretty cool!
And all 3 of these blokes a professional and tight.
I gotta hear more!.....
John and Ian play so good together. Love hearing that kid on the bass!
That kid is finamimal!
Love this ❤ Band is awesome love the panache and the choice of licks 😂 you folks kill me and I love it 🎸 😎
great playing, like the clean-ness and accuracy of his playing.
I've been a fan of John 5's for years and Chet Atkins and Roy Clark for even longer. I'm also a HUGE fan of John's BUCK 5 finished guitar!

This is f****** brilliant I used to watch hee Haw faithfully with my grandparents! Please do more episodes I love it
This was GREAT......do another one....PLZ !!! I Loved it !🎸🎸🎸
The fact he’s stuck with a Telecaster for all these years really illustrates the session guitarist he started out as.
It’s a guitar that can play absolutely anything, and it does it well too. I’ll never give up my Tele.
John 5 and Keith Richards are responsible for me picking up the tele in my teens, to this day it is my weapon of choice with my SG being my sidearm
I agree, but I also love my Luke III. 👍
I just got a Tele and it's the best guitar I have ever played. Now I ride for the brand. Yee Ha
I don't know where this idea came from, but I REALLY like it!
Hell, I would watch this every week as a TV show. I loved Her Has and this is great!
HA ha! Seriously though, the guy has got EXCELLENT classical style, Chet Atkins and Les Paul are smiling!
Just what I was thinking!
That is some seriously awesome guitar prowess 👏 Bravo Roy Clark would be proud
The cinderblock holding the high hat in place …..🤣🤣🤣🤣

Excellent pilot episode! Some TV network needs to pick this show up!
I'd pay for cable to watch this
There is no other drummer! Rodger Carter is the man on the brushes. Great job John, a big thumbs up!
Hee Haw is the reason i fell in love with the guitar. John 5 is an awesome well rounded player
This popped up randomly after watching a documentary. I'm glad it did. Pretty damn awesome.
This guy is a freak of a talent.
Wish he were coming through DENVER on his next tour!
J5 Is a flippin awesome picker!! Loved the Buck Owens nod in the red white blue guitars!
Does anyone realize he’s playing his version of I got Rhythm by Gershwin?
capmuggy yep. He definitely is a real musician. Continual growth in his playing. Pretty clever.
fuck no....
And doing a great job.
Oleo Flintstones gotta know rhythm changes

Okay, that was great fun. I love when John Five puts a little chicken into his guitar.
Amazing, he is... COMPLETELY & TOTA.LLY without ANY mind altering / enhancing substances on-board!! I am tres impressed!!! Well played, Mister 5!!
Love the tri-color guitar, like Buck Owens. Would of been fun if Roy Clark would of shredded with him

fucking amazing. getting into a lot of instrumental guitar music and just love this. John 5 seems to have a promising career.
A promising career 😂
Loved Hee Haw growing up. Loved the dark theme added. All three did an excellent picking n grinning section. Excellent. Mother Metal 💀 🖤
the main melody really sounds like that song "i got rhythm, i got music, i got my gal who could ask for anything more?"
It is all real musician play rythmn changes as their called
Because it is!
@DrumWild fake books contrafacts...never heard of those
My All time favorite guitar player, you did it right and never cease to amaze me., love to you and yours sir.

Great version of an old classic.
Very entertaining, LMFAO 👍
I'd watch Hell Haw every Sunday evening just like I used to watch HeeHaw!
hahaha I love this one , the jokes in the beginning part is nice hahaha...
John 5 - a time traveler who somehow came from both the past and the future.
Crazy headstock on that Tele - enjoyed this song while getting ready to go out today. Good stuff!!
Sexy babes, corny jokes, and awesome music. This video has it all.
You had me at Rita. Why haven't I seen this before?
Has a Ren and Stimpy feel to it.
Yeah it Really Does. I have the Ren & Stimpy dvd set and still watch it.
A million dollars and huge pectorals:)

I love it! Nothing like a Marshall jmp 800. So versatile. From Las Cruces, New Mexico. Peace and love.
If you loved guitars and guitar playing, Hee Haw was the show to watch.
John5, this video disappeared for awhile but glad it came back! Can't wait to see what's in store for this Halloween!
who gonna wear them shoes , who gonnna stand up tall , who gonna goto the opera and sing the Walbash Cannon ball ,..,
Just saw them live it was so kick ass to see them in a small venue called Barleycorns! Best time ever

Sounds like "I've Got Rhythm," the jazz standard. Check out John Pizzarelli playing it.
Yup
He tagged it note for note, maybe as "nod"?
It definitely is I got rhythm, with a lot of his own improv solos and stuff
Awesome work! Wish you would do a prime time variety show in this vein. Very entertaining and I am looking forward to seeing the next installment.

Amazing band, amazing player's.Thanks you for the upload.
Love reminds me of Les Paul. The player not the axe!
indeed, i was thinking the same thing!
You're right on the money!
Incredible musicianship. I am glad I watched this vid all way through.
This song is amazing. The playing kinda reminds me of Chet Atkins. The song's very original, even for J5. Piggy D looks funny :-)
The song is an old standard called I Got Rhythm.
Erm. Original?! It's just variations on "I got rhythm" by George Gershwin
I'm pretty sure it's the Pathmark grocery store song LOL
they're not playing?
Knowing music history really enhances enjoying music. John5 doing I got Rhythm and killing it? I’ve got hope for the future.
Omg! Lol . This was so much better than the original show!
Right on guys! Keep having fun! You guys rock!!!
