    Insanely talented, humble, and kind.
    J5 is the best guitarist alive.

      I would agree and say that it's quite sad that (I bet) most people don't know who he is or how incredible he is.

    He’s definitely someone who’s life is in his playing , amazing musician! Can play almost anything and he’s so humble and knows he can always improve and never brags about anything or has a ego. Love him

  • @Chrisalchin

    He comes across humble as, considering how epic he is.

    • @scott917
      @scott917 6 лет назад +7

      I have to agree, I have watched a lot of interviews and he just seems so low key. I will be meeting him at the end of this month 3/18. I also like that he doesn't drink, do drugs and only curses rarely, or when needed. I think he is a great role-model for kids that are just starting out.

      @jeffreyholmes7216 2 года назад +1

      I saw him with Rob zombie. I had seen pictures of him with all that cool makeup. How good did I think he would be? I didn't know. Well' He was fucking amazing. He seems like a cool guy. Want me to show you how I do it. No problem. That is total class!

  • @lespauldisciple3349
    @lespauldisciple3349 4 года назад +10

    I watch this guy and I'm not so much inspired to PLAY my guitar as much as I am inspired to THROW my guitar.
    Thank you John for making the Tele a shred machine.
    I only have eight Teles, John has like 4,287 of them.

    I've always felt John 5 would be amazing in Ozzy's band

    • @MrJeezus
      @MrJeezus 8 лет назад +8

      I agree. It would really bring Ozzy's band to another level, but Gus G is still awesome.

    This man just knows himself around a guitar, he breaks all "genre" barriers and just plays whatever the hell he wants and makes it amazing, He is a guitar god, and if you don't agree you don't know anything about the instrument and need to go sit in a corner..

    • @SquierStrat72
      @SquierStrat72 9 лет назад +13

      I agree. I love John 5 and the way he pulls from all these different genres and can throw them back out however he wishes. Definitely knows his business. And he seems like a really nice guy too.

    • @oneeyemonster3262

  • @richj7
    @richj7 4 года назад +1

    Just saw him with The Creatures, and they were indeed amazing. And people are always saying that he is wasted playing simple riffs in the band(s) he is in, but I think they're missing a big part of what makes him special. He genuinely LOVES music and playing guitar. That is infectious. He is a serious student of music and a former session player and is capable of learning something new from every genre/style he plays. I think once you get to his level of technical prowess, too, you have a sort of built-in humility and willingness to keep an open mind about what you don't know, and a knowledge that music is not always how many notes you can play but about when not to play notes and about the spaces in between notes. Anyway, he's incredible and a wonderful showman.

  • @michaelk9943
    @michaelk9943 3 года назад

    I just love watching John go to work. I’d love to just learn some of the country and bluegrass stuff he throws in but I’m totally content to just sit in amazement watching him play.

  • @shred5
    @shred5 13 лет назад +8

    "Open your eyes and open your ears to new styles" -- the best advice ever. For example, flamenco players are some excellent guitarists.
    Anyway, John 5 is a damn good guitarist and instructor
