John5 - Banjo rolls

[UKToneKing]

he likes finger picking a great eal, he said his band mates have accepted he puts parts into rock from time to time, who can blame him, I finger pick and use a pick, and I like fingeR picking the most, maybe cause I started out that way, u can get so much otta a guitar with fingers IMO

[lavasmokechile]

That banjo bit with a fuzz face would sound like Hendrix! Sw-fricken-eet!!!!

[stewnaaitsabes]

@lavasmokechile i doubt so...

[lavasmokechile]

@stewnaaitsabes Do you really doubt that John5's banjo style played through heavy distortion "wouldn't" sound like Hendrix?

The fricking comment was basically complementing John5, in case you couldn't read between the lines.

[Axl9]

I wonder why John 5 never gets talked about in magazines and internet and list with vai, malmsteeen and satch. I think he is better and more versatile but thats just me.

[stewnaaitsabes]

@Axl9 there are thousands of guitar players who are better than vai and satch and malmsteen (for example: all fusion guitarists and most jazz guitar players). people just want to hear about the names they recognize. and, of course, shawn lane

[stewnaaitsabes]

@Axl9 and technically, john 5 is not better. but i prefer his playing

[Ariel62073]

John 5 is one of my favorite guitarists. I hate music nowadays, but I like John 5. He's an original.

Guitarists, don't emulate other guitarists. In fact, after you realize that you like playing the guitar, ignore all other guitar music and concentrate on finding out how your own soul wants to play the instrument.

[lomgboardkook]

clearly he is a student of the instrument. i think we will see quite a lot of him in the days to come. his talent is unique...he can cover any style and do it far beyond capably. nice!

[TheFryzze]

john5 is cool!!

[nickcg]

very nice hehhehehe

[thekidwithafender]

[GuitarFretMan]

[TheSparksfly21]

What the fuck is this guy doing with Manson? He's a TRUE guitarist



[bluuuuarrg]

bun jao is penis in chinese

[benjamin6909]

@bluuuuarrg Best comment ever.

[superstriker00]

John 5 should record a metal album and use these techniques in the solos

[lilwillcool]

@superstriker00 i think ur late lol

he has a vouple of solo albums now haha

[lilwillcool]

@superstriker00 i meant couple lol

[superstriker00]

@lilwillcool I know he has solo albums, but does he use his spanish guitar and banjo rolls?

[lilwillcool]

@superstriker00 yeah dude listen to...crap i forgot the name lmao but the album with soul o a robot has some, the album with the black widow of la porte, and his first album has a lot of banjo rolls...idk bout spanish influenced songs but yeah,.. plus thats not really his style... hes more country rock metal guy

[Explostep]

@superstriker00 He alerady did 5 albums. And the new will come. Vertigo, Art of malice, Remixploitation, The devil knows my name, Songs for sanity and the new one, Welcome to the violence.

[Alpha7xxx]

That guitar sounds like shit.

[LPUchihaGirl]

I have a word for this guy .. EPEEEEC !!!

[MadJack122]

put that fucking telecaster down and get a banjo ffs XD

[allencoates2]

Allen Coates/ Broken Man.....First youtube video. Pretty cool, check it out! Thanks!

[KeithWasHere1]

ok you guys whats the best tuner out there? im looking to get one cause i just started playing but there are so many i dont know which is which..clamp on,not clamp on, now i know some of you guys will say "your ear" but i havnt been playing for even 2 months,so i havnt developed the ear yet...so be cool and help a brother out please.

[stratcat3142]

@KeithWasHere1 Check out the Snark Sn 1 or Sn 2......they're clip on tuners......they work great, and they're relatively cheap

[KeithWasHere1]

@stratcat3142 cool,thanks,i appreciate the help

[KeithWasHere1]

do they work by reading the strings vibrations or by some sort of microphone?

[stratcat3142]

@KeithWasHere1 They have both (mic and sensor) They run about 30 bucks, and are perfect for a beginner

[jeremebonesaw]

I got the the honor of meeting him while I was working at Target. He was buying dog food. I strongly believe no one can touch this guy on guitar, past or present.

[TheConnord12]

this guy must have loved his western movies back in the day.

[tebarovski]

i love how he plays so many styles

[terrormonkey1]

a real master....

[WWMMWWWMMMWWWWMMMM]

deadmau5 is better

[ModernBrutality666]

@WWMMWWWMMMWWWWMMMM they suck

[Bannersnake]

@WWMMWWWMMMWWWWMMMM they really do no talent compared to john

[pennypackerh8sspider]

i remember when i first saw john in concert with rob zombie...i was such a sissy! i actually started to cry!

[fatheringmist]

@pennypackerh8sspider

Nothing wrong with that! I, on the other hand, creamed my pants when i saw him :O

[pennypackerh8sspider]

@fatheringmist i wouldnt blame you, john 5 is amazing!!

[bettyjet1]

I LOVE YOU JOHN5!!!

[Brennan29]

Would sound ten times better without the effects.. just saying...

[TomorrowDontGiveCrap]

goddamn the sound is crap wtf is the use of that like oke we know john 5 is coming over so lets just grab this shit mic right here and do this thing (Facepalm)

[superstriker00]

Not toally different from rock, but it is very uncommon.

[kascozz]

Good lord, and there he was behind Manson all those years... This guy's awesome.

[balls86ful]

@kascozz i also thought he was waisting his time in manson.

[MARIOSSP62]

What was the secong song

[nick92691]

:15-:20 its totally diff from rock cuz ur using ur fingers lmao

[Womb27]

Gay,hahahaha.

[CoolKwstas123]

@Womb27 lifeless troll, hahahaahha

[Womb27]

@CoolKwstas123 gay,hahahahah.

[ottozing]

@Womb27 how is he gay if he has a wife and kids?

[Yoman1634]

@Womb27 You'd know.

[kendraalexa]

fuck man!:.. he's just fucking awsome!

[UnknownSect333]

I prefer Buckethead's banjo playing.

[faridfaiza]

did he jz banjo'ed a telecaster? yes he did. *jaw drops again*

[Dragslo]

His gutiar sounds magic. I love J5's style.

[JohnnyKwango]

I'm sure John5 CHOSE to play guitar with Marilyn Manson. He's a big boy and he wasn't kidnapped and ordered to play against his will :-)

[SuicidalxPain]

@JohnnyKwango cant say that better (:

[Thechicagoguitarguy]

he can shred and get a banjo sound out of a guitar... awesome

[atla18]

don't care for him all that much, but its impossible to deny the guy knows his instrument, so you gotta at least respect that.

[hooplablahblahblah]

@atla18 Wow. That is probably one of the most mature things I've ever heard said on youtube.

[javier7high]

dat tone.... THAT TONE.

[cschuck320]

manson doesn't even deserve to hear John 5's name spoken to him. John 5 is amazing at everything he does, especially country

[WallSpace]

i like his music but not his style..

[shiznoes]

what the hell was this guy doing with manson? Jesus he could go way farther without that freak

[TheQwerty152]

@shiznoes fuck manson! i hate that faggot so much, john 5 could write so much better music than that numetal/ shock rock/ goth bullshit he writes for marylin manson

[shiznoes]

@TheQwerty152 I don't know if you misapprehended my comment but that's what I was saying. Manson is a faggot

[510shredder]

@shiznoes u seen his wife? :p

[bmth12131]

@shiznoes  marilyn manson is the man so shut up

[SleepyFroggy]

@shiznoes he made 7 CDs without him. Got nowhere.

[PabloakaChuck360]

Not even Vai or Satch has ever gone though the idea of making this....!!!!!!!

[thesilentcircus789]

the goth look doesnt go with country 

[carbonseven1st]

if u have so much talent it doesnt matter that u look like a dickhead, cuz ur still cool

[823musiclover]

banjo time!!

[Judasxmetalxzone]

awesome

[bradnc1988]

Talented...and weird.

[666animalmother]

hey did he just play hog bitch stomp by buckethead? its not the same song but it has a very similar tone ,,,almost the same

[nemovgi]

@666animalmother Nah he didn't, the stuff he did in this video is all his own songs. Hog Bitch Stomp does kick ass though.

[wilfan12]

why is he choosing to look like a tranny? like whats he rebelling against?

[juanjillocr]

@wilfan12 its called personality... taste... self-esteem. 1- ure an idiot for pointing that 2-the guy plays whatever he wants to play 'cause hes too fuckin talented 3- have a nice day :)

[wilfan12]

@juanjillocr he looks ridiculous is all im saying, and secondly did i even comment on his playing? nah dude.. i didnt, i never said anything about that, why ya lickin his ass its not like he'd even have the time of day for you, fucking hell youtube is full of you wankers.. dont bother replying to this cos im not gona reply tbh

[juanjillocr]

@juanjillocr its about fashion? nah dude, its about playing... hes on the youtube, hes the one playing so greaaaat and hes the one feeling great about himself... tranny shit? face it, that was stupid

[livetoplaymusiclive]

Man this guy is a guitarr godd

[darkxalaric]

i lol'd when i saw this bc that was awesome

[DarkdeviI725]

That was awsome. I think im quickly becoming a J5 fan.

[Ibik]

Whats the diffrence between Chicken Picking and this?

[DOUCHEMcNUGGET]

@Ibik john 5 is gay thats the only difference

[ISS5731]

@Ibik I think that chicken picking usually involves using a pick. Also with chicken picking you pull the string away from the fret board, altho I can;t tell wether or not he is doing that in the video.

[Filth4lyfe666]

@ISS5731 There is a little chickin' pickin' in this video, which is right after the rolls it self. And you dont always have to use a pick to chickin pick, but it is very common that people do :]

[dbostrander]

My top 5 favorite guitarists-

3.Matt Roberts

@shane1108 mark and willie are the shit bro!

[jrcsgtpeppers]

sounded like buckethead's hog bitch stomp :)

[irishmike203]

Wow he can play anything, never checked him out until here recently

[Monkibomber93]

He looks fuckin' dumb but his playing is just... Awesome.

[shadowspast1]

how do u do banjo rolls and make em sound country? or western swing for that matter?

[sweesse]

ranchereando con esos dedos mutantes dios no puedo soportarlo john 5 es genial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PrimalConcrete]

awesome

[spooner1957]

just imagine him going to a bluegrass jam in the south. a tattooed man with makeup owning the country scene ha

[harveydents]

graet playing...but that tone is god awful...where is that killer tone he iknown for!

[maxlovesbullet]

you can't play this country stuff distorted, if that's what you mean. i think the tone is just suitable!

[blackdog96007]

I have to say I was absolutely amazed to see what a fantastic guitar player he is. When he's playing with Manson or Zombie he's so limited by that industrial style that I never knew he could really REALLY play!

[rayMacy]

A master of his own craft. I enjoy his style and his personality.

[guitarthroat]

@rayMacy he is a very nice person and a great player. 

[ellogovenah2011]

this guy is a gold mine of knowledge

[insanewarlock666]

@ellogovenah2011 this is just guitar effect invented by someone else and John 5 is a big shit!

[guitarplayer9090]

@ellogovenah2011 just as gold as his hair

[uhahacker]

Awesome. I dont know he can play country style.

Good job man

[Madd415]

he's a person. he plays metal, and he plays country.

[badfinger848]

John 5...how could you describe him? I mean, is he metal or is he country? I'd prefer to say that he's somewhere in between Steve Vai and Brad Paisley.

Really though--I think it's great that a metal guitarist learned to play country as well as John 5 can...you'll never see Yngwie Malmsteen playing like that!

[DRGU6]

wtf John 5 is insane!!!

[ozzyhogancheck]

AWESOME!!!!!

[zenox22]

Dude! John 5 is just awesome!!!!!!

[distrojer85]

great guitarist.period.

[oioi99]

he dose it like he brethes air.....easy as fuck!!

[iban411]

i love the end part.

[mikebam21]

there is nothing messed up on the western swing part thats the song 18969 ventura blv

[jambi4]

those are sum fucked up chords on the western swing part

[tubbybasset]

If I had just heard this and not seen it I would never have believed that it was not played on a banjo. John 5 is one super cool guitar god.

[erniesux]

this is from the behind the player dvd...can anybody upload the whole thing? I would really apreciate it

[crazyhaircut94]

Don't think you can. Copyright, you know.

[nintwiggy6491]

holy shit
