World's greatest unknown guitar player Part 2 !!!

[itshitrecords]

Clean your dang studio!

[badgolf65]

Hello John Champion it's John from McAllen Fast Eddies ,great sound you rock my friend . How's your pool game ?

[Xidkwhat2callmyselfX]

a master of chord changes

[lastdaysguitar]

@LEOJ024 Sloppy work area - man, read the thread before you post - I agree his guitar skills are great and my whole point is that he deserved to showcase it better than to track the vid in a pigsty.

[DannyDoomPink]

@lastdaysguitar tracked the vid in a pigsty? i understand the point you're trying to make about presentation and whatever but that's kind of rude, don't you think?

[lastdaysguitar]

@DannyDoomPink My intention is not to be rude to the player at all, he's really talented - but look at the room, it is NOT worthy of this performance! People spend millions on stage and video PRESENTATION for a reason... IF you are doing video, then the visial presentation is part of the artistic statement, like it or not. All I'm really saying is a guy like this deserves a better video - and guitar wizards in sloppy rooms are a dime a dozen on youtube... but THIS guy has real talent.

[DannyDoomPink]

@lastdaysguitar It doesnt matter if it was your intention or not, it came across as being really snobby. (boasting about your income and house didnt help either) If youve been in the music industry for 35 years and are as succsessful as you claim to be, I figured youd be a little more interested in his playing than trolling the video cause his room is messy. I don't mind if art comes from a "filthy mess" at all. In fact, I dont give a fuck where it comes from if its as beautiful as this.

[lastdaysguitar]

@DannyDoomPink Well, thats your opinion jackass.

[floogus2009]

Put a band together and let's hear you with real musicians...and stop saying that you are the worlds greatest unknown guitarist because you are not. Play some Funkadelic or Blues or Clapton.

[mikebloomfirld66]

B-O-R-I-N-G!!!!!!!!!

[diabeticmonkey]

Love the phrasing at 0:28.

[MegaMoniman]

check my video for a unknown amazing player

[lastdaysguitar]

@ArpeggioFelatio It's all about presentation of the art - look man, I've made 6 figure incomes in the music industry for over 35 year and live in a 5 level house with over 40 trees on my property BOUGHT WITH ROYALTIES - you can take or leave my opinion, but I have a right to express it. As for trolls, man - that's YOU.

[candlewick163]

@lastdaysguitar stop being a dick. hes not applying for a job, he's playing music on youtube. chill out. the time you spent on here arguing with someone you don't know you could have spent cleaning the rooms of all 5 levels of your house Mr. 6 figures. Go away, no one likes you.

[lastdaysguitar]

@candlewick163 And the trolls continue to chime in... still none of you "gets it" - this guy has serious talent, and it deserves the best presentation.

PS: your mom called, she said you are and have always been a slob and you've never seen the dirt. That explains it.

[candlewick163]

@lastdaysguitar yeah retard we all know he has talent. that's obvious. What's also obvious is how much of an ass you are. No one cares dude. btw you really told me with that mom comment, it was so original. not like anyone else hasn't made a your mom joke. yup, you sound like someone who has been making 6 figures for 35 years.

[lastdaysguitar]

@candlewick163 Believe whatever you want - you're a punk kid with a foul.

[candlewick163]

@lastdaysguitar Yup. Good fail with that comment btw. I applaud you on that. Hows about you take a slice of humble pie because I'm serving it hot.

[lastdaysguitar]

@candlewick163 Yes I do believe you will probably be serving pie or have some other waiter type job for a very loooong time, because you are a loser punk.

[candlewick163]

@lastdaysguitar so you can't understand basic expressions. Good job 6 figures. Please tell what you mean by "loser punk". I am dying to know.

[lastdaysguitar]

@candlewick163

What is "loser punk"?: Just go look at your face in the mirror, I'm sure with some time, and maybe in your case some local help - you'll figure it out.

[candlewick163]

@lastdaysguitar No smart-ass, I'm looking for a dictionary definition. Define what you mean.

[candlewick163]

@lastdaysguitar You're just being an ignorant asshole. You make 6 figures and live in a 5 story house, supposedly, but you insist on teasing people over the internet on youtube. Don't you have anything better to do?

[lastdaysguitar]

@candlewick163 Let's try not lying shall we? You stupid jerk, everyone reading this knows you came in and attacked me.

[candlewick163]

@lastdaysguitar It was more like defending the guitarist, and the guy from earlier. Get your facts straight. I'm done with this stupid pointless argument. Stop replying because I'm going to entertain your pitiful mind any longer.

[lastdaysguitar]

@candlewick163 He didn't NEED your defense, he's great - just sloppy.

[lastdaysguitar]

@ArpeggioFelatio - it's not ignorant: youtube is not just music, they've got a little feature called (hang on now) V-I-D-E-O.

Playing, performance he's got it down, a great player - I really like his music... all I'm saying is a clean room would have made for a much better classier presentation.

A guy that spends this much time woodsheding can surely take 15 minutes to make his "stage" presentable.

But I'm sure folks who don't mind art coming from filthy messes will be fine with it.

[lastdaysguitar]

Why would a virtuoso post a beautiful musical peice from a pig sty?

If you'd clean up the disaster area that is your room the video would have been better.

[derrick713]

@lastdaysguitar if you watch the rest of the vids you will find out that his friend made the vids and he didn't play professionally for a long time.looks like hes in his home office and just plays to relieve the boredom.

[trenhcoat]

Someones got talent here! Great!

[guiatarguy]

Great playing.nice and fluent. That style of playing has always aluded me. nice to see it done well. I have just started putting up videos. seems like a great medium to reach people with your music. great stuff

[jonanmusic]

Very nice... Totally out of the box!

[charlesentz]

nice guitar tone! what are you running through?

[huntersingle]

i hope hes making some money

[mandreassi1]

he should play with jean luc ponty  perfect fit

[fezzard]

if you are a man of God, then teach me to play, remember share your talents and blessings and you will inherit the kingdom of God...

[dirtydonki]

@fezzard Someone always has to bring god into it. :) IT'S the DEVIL'S music and as such god would have nothing to do with it. So bugger off and learn the Harp. :)

[fezzard]

@dirtydonki dude not a very good reply, and I wasnt even talking to you...

[camxmarks]

this guy is one of the best

[musicbymax]

hey is there a cd avaible?

please answer me!!!

[pascal27able]

I think this solo is written, not improvised...if I'm wrong (let me know!), then, hats off!

[tigersoul7]

@pascal27able this is solid improv....

[spmuzak101]

your awesome bro....God bless you. I wanna encourage you to use your gift for him.i do. its the most awesome thing ever..be blessed

[xIMPERIALx]

@spmuzak101

Amen to that!

[plungered2]

It's a Steinberg axe...

[guitarguy316]

Maybe he should practice his C chords a little better....dat mak u okay ya!

[guitarguy316]

If this video had a little better audio quality/balance, I think it would sound even better!

[tgnz24]

That was awesome!Im wondering if thats a Bll DeLap guitar.And to the guys saying you need a fender,while I like fenders,it would thin your sound out.

[morphyis]

very good

[fuckneworldorder]

Fucking amazing!

Great player...

[sergiobluesman]

first of all.. pleeease tidy your room, its a mess. after this stupid comment, man.. you really are amazing.great technique.. smooth, looks easy. nice tone. amazing man, but get yourself a fender!

[WyrmDL]

why the hell does he need a fender?

[sergiobluesman]

man, calm down!!!, i just think that fender will fit great to his style and sound. just that ok?. relax.

[marvsiceslice]

wow only 30k views i saw this guy mentioned in total guitar magazine as a "star of youtube" along with people like andee mckee!! Im glad i checked him out ^^

[tigersoul7]

Hi marvsiceslice, Can you tell me what issue of Total Guitar Magazine he was mentioned as a star of youtube? Thanks,.....Tigersoul7

[marvsiceslice]

yeah its #192, september 2009. Top of page 57 :)

[rachtonyrichcarrie]

Same Here. lol. N ye he is good!!!

[stratman06]

This guy ... is a financial advisor????

He could be the world's highest paid session guitarist ...

[bulldrumm]

well... not really ;)

though he IS very, very good.very.

[tristentom]

gotta love the house hes playin in. very...... homewarming :)

[hermanhurensohn]

omg. leaves me speechless. too god to be true.

stay with your job, else the guitar heroes will have to spell out a new name----->your Name.

[OFrostO09]

Fernando Miyata FTW!!!!

[arroyomusic]

yeah right...this guy is better.

[Darkvinx88]

awesome phrasing...only years and years of guitar playing can give you that

[Marsh53172]

love it :)

[kranen1]

indeed xD

[Kjutte1]

GREAT guitarist indeed.

[123jozef]

Frank Gambale, Allan Holdsworth, Eric Johnson, Vinnie Moore... and of course, John Champion. Fantistically fluid. Great flow, smooth sound. A cut way above the rest.

[dan2212089]

Not forgetting the late and great Shawn Lane :)

[musicbymax]

.....and guthrie govan and alex hutchings ;)

[ChadA23]

Alex is amazing!

[oilkills]

Shawn Lane is the greatest unknown!!!

[almostsk8er01]

but the fact that he is known kinda defeats the puspose of what you just said. and well....he's dead.

[oscar7557]

Amen

[tyglaze1]

a financial adviser? Talk about a true talent undiscovered. (Until now). I've been in the music "biz" for 12 years and it never siezes to amaze me to find these unbelievable players that have an ordinary job and life style (which is smarter than tryng to be a rock god) and just oozing with pure talent.

Ive now watched all Jons vids and cannot wait to see another!

[tyglaze1]

John is my new favorite player HANDS DOWN

[tfoyen]

great! Eric Johnsonish... only better(in my opinion

[QuasiSane45]

Nothing excites me more than someone who has worked their ass off to master an instrument, but even more than that someone who knows what to do with his craft in order to best implement the style he's suited to and for.

The tonality, transition and smoothness is mind-boggling here brother.

Brilliant has nothing on you.

[Earthlessness]

MY mind was set at ease by this

[jh193187]

Love your playing John

[MetalxUpxUrxass85]

lol its just like the music they play at my dentist...

toe tappin good! :D

[NattefrostFTW]

You are pretty good, cause u don't show off how fast u can play, u make it sound very beautifully too, great videos, all the parts!

[Machine1]

awesome,great tone and technique +++

[123jozef]

I hear more Allan Holdsworth than I've noticed before.

[guitarhero014]

where is the top of the guitar

[Tototwice]

NO DOUBT this guy rocks....very musical and moves well all over the neck 5 stars....KEEPON STRUMMIN..............DALLAS

[fusedgrooves]

nice but....any clean stuff?

[Symmetry44]

Still brilliant I see.

This guy is a professional all the way!!!!

[emengy]

congrats... very well played

[zedfenix]

umm.......id call him "one of the greatest unknown guitarist" cause there are so many unknown guitarists

[diminishedlogic]

very very skilled. props

[pmqzfgh]

wow its really good

[DonChul]

he gots skills

but headless guitars are not my thing

[x7lost]

headless women are not my thing.

your comment was just as stupid.

[ckyisyourfuture]

brilliant!

[blobbyboy322]

man i wish i had skillzles like that

[Wh00terman]

I'm from the valley too.. I want to play with this guy.

[GCmaster5000]

without the headstock the guitar looks empty........

[TimPretty]

This is just not fast, this is fully controlled and with a great tone aswell....

[Entropy56]

"So okay, you're good. Now go clean up your room.", she said.

[ImBleedinWithNoBlood]

just cause hes fast doesnt mean hes the best

[Peelick]

Yeah,But he's probably a boatload better than YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

[Symmetry44]

Doesn't mean he's not either. lol

[Kjutte1]

Love that reply :)

[BlooBeluga]

smooooth.

[Symmetry44]

I can't do anything this good! lol

Friggin guy amazes me every time.

[Nu11andVoid]

he sure as hell could play at a "christian venue" (whatever that means... =p), hell, he could sell out venues with those skills...

I've been thinking about selling my soul to the devil for guitar virtuosity too...

[jslost89]

something like eric johnson

[kingfreeze]

very, very nice monophonic playing. great job !!!!!

[KINGOFCHONG]

do you some weed?

[Ibanez3789]

fucking amazing. your tone is out of this world.

[fyngwie]

hi overthere, just saw your videos, incredible paying!!!

unbelievable

cheers from austria

[dimi409]

That's funny, is desk is almost as messy as mine!

[joselito1969]

the tuning knobs are in the bridge

[muzaqgirl]

Now put the guitar down and clean your room, or there will be no playing of any guitar in this house, uh garage,or uh playpen, what ever that room is!!!

Then your room will be nice and clean like your music!

Cleanliness is next to Godliness!

[mastermac666]

By the looks of the mess in the background, this is all this guy does! But goddamn your good!!!! Probably playing for 30 plus years, right?

[Shadowstriker95]

what if he honestly believes he is? which i have no doubt is true? even so its probably true, hes pretty amazing

[jimclbn]

When I gave Letty my CD in Oct or Nov she mentioned you had some stuff up here. WOW. I'm sorry I didn't listen sooner. Compared to you, I'm terrible. The Lord has really given you an incredible talent.

[piojopelonpanson]

Progressive Jazz!!! Delightful!!! I dream of being just half as good as you are! We want more!

[dannycorser]

thats it where can i get your cd ?? NICE you got it !! very fresh and COOL danny & josh the bass player from !@# !!

[MGkings]

[jessibelle828]

[Mastas999]

[obedadriel]

[wj74]

yea, Steinboogers do play like butter. seems a little premeditated, but still very nice

[mmpalha]

very smooth playing...

[mortenmat]

hey your friend is a amazing guitar player! hope i can play like john one day!

[guitarsvolta]

what does greatest mean. only different players. smooth ass right hand on that eco. picking.

[trussell13]

Good, but most definitely not the "world's greatest unknown guitar player."

[GFitzpatrick]

ugh just looking thru some of these comments... ill tell you, there are some morons out there. you great, keep it up, let the haters hate.. they probably dont even know guitar besides the metal or shred they listen to let alone actually play something like that. idiots.

[huevosnejos]

More hot playing by a really gifted musician!!!!!

[alienrush]

this guy can play!

[cjb761]

If he his so good why does he play such a crappy guitar?

[tigersoul7]

It is quite obvious you don't know your guitars. The guitar John uses is a customized Steinberger. Google: (Steinberger guitars) and get educated !

[vzereeys]

Simply amazing.

[sacobacs]

I heard solo part one this is the same solo just with with some fake computer jazz/blues filler as rythm. where is this agression that i is mentioned "JOHN" have a few mint juleps and turn up the good and turn down the suck!!!!

[san1mbr]

Post some more solos and make me smile again. This is above complex and some people don't understand! That's some fine upscale playing John! Please compose and shoot some more videos.

[san1mbr]

John, remarkable playing! This is the stuff your average person does not understand. This is above complex. You never fail to amaze me! Keep up your videos and plaster them on You Tube! Make me smile!

[navjee1993]

nice playing. make a video of yourself doing solos and riffs. how fast are you?

[nerdhi]

how do u tune that? i've always wondered about those kind of guitars :P

[silvermask306]

i think the tuning knobs are somewhere in the body of the guitar

[milktrey]

there back near the pickups like on a violin

[stez1970]

wow. make a cd and i will buy it.

[CincoRanchMusic]

John, absolutely beautiful! We need to get together and compose some musical pieces to play in churches!! Blessings!

[mikeplayboy]

lets hear the metal i bet he can shred some metallica solos

[irateyourvideo2]

great playing!!
