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.
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!
This dude just went on a whole other level. Thing that sets him apart with other shredders is that John 5 constantly seems to evolve vs repeating his ‘best of’ techniques constantly.
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.
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

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

John is incredible.. I long await the day him and Buckethead release something together.

add in wes borland for a tornado of insanity 😂
buckethead is light years better than john 5
John 5 is a freak! Love this song and the play through was mind blowing! One of my favorite guitarists!
My face hurts from smiling.. I love everything about this dude and his music. Damn. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
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.

Love John's playing , very inspiring.

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!
Just wow! Really enjoyed it!
It is impossible to deny this man's brilliance
Fantastic!!!
This was really cool to see the techniques that you use for your unusual sounds. Absolutely awesome 🤘✌️🇺🇲
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.

Amazing, outwordly, just cool ❤❤❤❤
The incredible John 5!
John5 and Wes borland's playing sounds like EDM love it
John 5 is next level...this song is blowing my mind
I want a John 5 tele so bad! The ultimate guitar!
Incredible 😮
so many guitar gems just by watching him play
INCREDIBLE player
That riff is sick 🤘!!
Dudes sick i love it
Definitely becoming my favorite player.
Incredible
Anyone else hear a little nod to Satch Boogie in there around the neighborhood of the bridge? Or is it just me?
Very cool video, love your ax
John5 is one of the greatest alive today.
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.
John is definitly a true and complete guitar god ! The cover of Les Paul's and Mary Ford's "How high the Moon" kills !!!
Omg!! Just googled some new videos of John, and here it is, 10 mins ago!!!
Straight Up 1 Of The G O A T...🎸☮️🌏
Amazing
That's a sick guitar! Makes the Telecaster badass lol!
Respect 😮
Just WOW!
his control, with that much of a floppy pick sticking out is blowing my mind right now
That rocks!
John 5 - офигенно крутой чувак!
Wow. U can see he has absolute perfect technique.
Bello/Magnifico.💥💥💥💥💥💥💨
John 5 is God 🎸
Everything I want to hear come out of a guitar. Johnny 5 👍
Insane
Beast.
I normally think signature guitars are stupid but that tele is actually sick and I kind of want one
He's just an all-around awesome entertainer/musician. Motley doesn't deserve him.
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.
Perfect description of him lol
Not bad. Definitely not in the same class as EVH👊🏻
Nope 2:17
Dope af
John 5 could be the worlds best metal instrumentalist the bands he’s been in just hold him back he’s to damn good
Strung out....
.....perfect term!
Best use of a kill switch that I've seen
*Buckethead has joined the chat*
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.
John 5 is the best
A new kinda cool
💪😎🤘
So gd good
🔥🔥🔥
Would love to see his solo show. Not tied to Motley Crue stuff.
Jon 5 & Wolfgang should jam ,,,it would be very interesting
Fvcking badass!!
he has an amazing in the room sound. never get my katana to sound like that
❤❤❤
The man knows.
🔥
We need one for Land of the Misfit Toys!!

🤘😎🤘🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥
Hell yea
Ansioso por um novo álbum
Fkg legend .. always be .. 🤘😎
Way to good to be playing with Motley Crue!
O melhor no estilo , engole o tom morello facilmente , não é só barulho como esse , e sim , técnica , melodia e fundamento.
Wow.
One day, with a lot of practice, John 5 might be as good as Lil Wayne on the guitar.
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 so fucking sick
This is a neoclassical boss battle theme music
Like the steve vai lick
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.
Hahahaha, WOW!! Beast player... super nice guy.... Detroit boy, what'd you expect, hey?!
I kinda really want that Tele
Wow
Just writin cool shit on the guitar. No sweat.
Has kinda the same vibe with Polyphias's GOAT
JOHN FIVE .............WICK 😁😊😃
I love that he's honoring Buckethead with his Signature Tele. BUCKETBOTS FOREVER!
Bucket Head couldn’t clean his shoes
Is he channeling Pink Floyd, Money?
Nucking futs!
Return of the alien...
Cool,kind of has that techno sound..
