He has transitioned into an amazing solo artist. Those shreds where iconic 👍

I said Goddamn! You know how genuine he is about loving music cause in almost every video of him or interview, John will play a mini-concert for them. No pay and no charge, he'll rock one person's face off in the morning, afternoon, or even right before going on stage with Rob Zombie, whether asked for or not. John will shred and play songs that leaves one speechless. And He is so stoked the entire time; like he is having the most fun out of anyone. Tom Morello of Rage Against the machine will do the same thing. Effing awesome :)

John 5 is talent in human form. I first experienced how REALLY talented he is when he was in a video playing some original iconic guitars. He can play a bunch of different styles - not just heavy stuff.

That was amazing and he is such a humble and gracious person. I'm heading to the play store right now to get his new album.

Whatever you're playing with your band or if it's a song you wrote and you're recording at home practice it to the metronome until you can play right in the pocket. That is one of the reasons Johnny 5 is so accurate in his timing.

I've really grown to love not only John's playing. But also his personality and his lack of an ego. As a guitar player myself hes in my top 10 for sure .. and I also think hes super underated!

Dudes every so often I still come back from time to time and visit these awesome gear factor videos with John 5. Such as the one I just watched before this video where before he goes out on stage he is talking with Sqiggy and rippn Van Halen riffs (R.I.P. Edward Van Halen). When he busted out the actual 5150 riff I laughed like man I luv this dude haha because he always seems to play riffs that are all favorites of mine also such as the 5150 riff. Plus I luv all the theatrical painted up incorporated stuff in John’s shows whether solo or Zombie. Dude is a riff legend in my opinion. I put him up there easily with the greats such as Eddie Van Halen, Dimebag Darrel, etc 🤘🎸 Just like with Eddie and Dime, you know when John 5 is playing, and is just one of the coolest musicians ever, good dude. Which is why he is a legend in his own right. A distinct style where again you will know whenever John 5 is riffn somewhere. Luv all the bluegrass and country he adds in also. I think that stuff sounds so good mixed in with metal the way he does it. Tracks like his “Hell Haw” jam are just cool and unique. Still jammn “Here’s to the Crazy Ones’s” and “Welcome to Violence” is outstanding. John 5 plays the stuff in a way nobody else does, so again why I put him up there with all of the other shred hero’s. First saw John with Manson like most and then being a White Zombie fan, it was awesome to hear this most recent Rob Zombie album sound more like a hard rock and metal album with John rippn. That 2021 album took me back to some White Zombie days even though he isn’t “J” but if we have to have another guitarist, obviously John 5 works out perfect 🤘and is always great anytime John is able to rip on one of his Tele axes. Was happy Rob decided to take a chill on a ton of industrial stuff and bring more of the guitars back into the fold. 🤘🎸👍

Your a great teacher and I love to learn from you . Thanks bro

Y'know, I've rarely seen a guy who loves his signature licks as much as John does. I've followed his solo work since I first heard about it being a thing when Sugarfoot Rag hit Total Guitar back in the day, and his albums are iterative as all heck. It's like getting a remaster of the album before with a few new licks. Not to say I mind, the guy can play anything from his albums perfectly on the spot and that's more than you can say for Herman or Yngwie. Such a chill guy, but he put his dues in to get to where he has being savvy and shrewd as well as a good shredder and riffer. Possibly my favourite session player ever, and easily in my top 10 guitarists. I've still got the RG1570 I bought as a teen 'cause it was the model he was using back in the Manson days as my "off" guitar. That guitar toured Europe with me and played in front of thousands of people. I'm planning to stick some Devin Townsend signature Fishmans in it when I get the money. John was one of my main inspirations in the early days, and he continues to be a paragon of practice and patience. And, of course, tick-tock.

@evanherb5900

I find that it depends a lot on the album; they can be kind of hit or miss for originality in the licks. Requiem and The Devil Knows my name felt pretty derivative, but I thought Songs For Sanity and God Told Me To, for instance, were phenomenal.

Both are world class guitarists. Not many alive can match their talent

Santa Clause oh I agree, it’s just kinda sad to me that buckethead doesn’t get this type of praise when he’s been doing everything that John does, for decades

@@TheHouseOfMasks Because Bucket won't put himself out there. Besides that podcast, he hasn't done any interviews or anything. I wish he would so more people would be exposed to his talent.

Hey man that's the coolest riffin' very solid, and I really dig the metro-drum and cymbals too. I have written many songs with a similar style over the last 4 decades as a guitarist so it really kinda threw me when I heard this. Nice taps too. da kinds bra...Love your tele's gold look and that tap button is sick bro....I play all the time still and don't get out much anymore so I was looking for some gear at Sweetwater and saw you. Thanks man, keep it up and as you say, "inspire the youngsters" I started in the early '70's on electric guitar and have never put it down.....my inspiration to play is the fun, feel of my guitar and the sound...For real its truly because I love to play my guitars....

The only man that I know that does not use effects live. Strange how can he play and sound good without. Amaysing
