[emil1279]

Slowly it sounds like something from Star Wars :D

[MinaOlenLegend]

John 5 looks like a female in this vid

[styleomatic]

Cool licks, thin tone!

[yaniselmasri]

"Betcha" apparently made 41 accounts

[hidromeliorators]

Stupid Betcha... Can't play anything.

[furrymaster69]

[greenslimeboyz]

press five rly fast and he goes " ee ee ee ee"

[JAMESTHERIPPAHAMMETT]

.....betcha cant sound cool without tapping

[AshtinALWT]

@JAMESTHERIPPAHAMMETT ....betcha haven't listened to any of his music.

[MrStupidnickname]

It's not Betcha's fault that he's not able to play anything!

[103964988]

John 5, I love you... Marry me? :)

[woolffdale]

Damn he's amazing! Imagine him playing in Muse, listening to it would be like smoking pot

[adamjones19]

i love it when its played slow

[Goldenpuffs59]

who is betcha?

[bloodyzebbidy]

show off.

[103964988]

Wow. That sounds fucing sick fast,and slowed down it sounds beautiful.

[kikme778]

If Allan Holdsworth made one of these videos, the title would be "You can't play this. ever."

[NcgDodo]

he he messed it up ;D 0:55

[laneage]

It's called "Betcha Can't Play This" for a reason. They said "Play something ridiculous."

[TheExplodingPumpkin]

You look gay as fuck.

[DeathProductions123]

that reminds me....... I HATE PLAYING GUITAR WHEN MY FINGER ARE COLD!!!!

[fraud1980]

this goth chick was married to aria giovanni... that grosses out both marraige and aria giovanni for me....

[LWRCftw]

oh gross it's a guy...

[DaBoMb305]

I think the first and the second are the same shape.

[KoRnescence93]

0:40 to 0:44 is the same lick as in his first video....

[masterpower666]

i want that guitar

!!!!!!!!

[GuitarHeroAddict112]

Is that a challenge?

[donniedarko88888]

YOUR ARE QUITE RIGHT,SIR. I CAN'T PLAY THIS!! *jumps of building*

[mom2jlg]

it sounds prettier slowed down.

[TriteSix]

...isnt this from "The Washing Away Of Wrong"

[PopeWentCrazy]

rap is special ed kindergarten compared to the metal world

.ITS all good those rappers have exhausted their material and stole for the last time.they cant sample from the talent in the metal world because all they can do is rhyme .BIG  FUKIN DEAL , Their time is almost OVER

[metalhed110]

his BCPT licks all sound better slow lol

[niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick]

i dig john 5. one of the more original guys in the midst of the guitar sausage fest.

[Clamster56]

why would we wannna play that

[marzambranochicot]

you fucking suck

[hustler2300]

john 5 is an amazing guitarist hes one of my favorites

[GLK2780]

@hustler2300 im sorry, but you need to start listening to music if you think this clown is amazing.

[666aldohaa666]

@GLK2780 well, this clown actually plays real music, and he also is a great and complete player. Stupidly amazing technique and a great sound and color. I just don't understand how you think John 5 isn't that much of a great player. If you don't like it, that's a whole different thing, then express what you really want to say.

[GLK2780]

@666aldohaa666 sure his technique is fine and obviously he can play guitar, but i just dont have alot of respect for shredders or anyone who does all that finger tapping bullshit. its just not creative. plain and simple. hes a hell of alot better than me. obviously. but theres alot of people that are a hell of alot better than him. but of course, we are talking about music so its just my opinion. and clearly ours is different.

[ithegyspsi]

straight major 7th arpeggios no? with a little major pent. at the end?

[TheWookiebush]

john 5 blows

[jensheid]

this guy looks so incredibly gay, vommit

[kirk5hammett]

@jensheid I think You are gay. Fucker.

[HarrisongStudios]

I liked the part where he said "Sex." at 1:55.

[Fletinio1]

@HarrisongStudios LoL he meant sex like Gender dude

[DeadMemories420]

@Fletinio1 your dumb he meant it as "so thats" he just said it really fast

[Zaykopath]

hey this is zaykopath and i cant play this

[JustJust2D]

Those who are calling him gay dont have girlfriend and r bunch of turbo-retards..

[acid3z]

jonh 5 its nothing .. alehi lahio rules fuckers

[851852093114208513]

@acid3z Actually John5 is very good. Alexi is decent, but there are many, many much better players. I like Children of Bodom more than John 5, Marilyn Manson, or Rob Zombie, but despite that, I can still say with confidence that John 5 is a much better guitarist.

[acid3z]

@851852093114208513

ok what u think about dino cazares or michael amott?????

[851852093114208513]

@acid3z What I've seen of Dino doesn't impress me, but I haven't heard much so I can't give a concrete opinion. Michael Amott is good, but I still think John 5 is better. Arch Enemy is great, though. He doesn't always blow me away, but he gives the song exactly what it needs, and that's exactly what he's supposed to do. That's why there's never any flashy solos in Manson songs. There don't need to be any.

[acid3z]

@851852093114208513 still jonh 5 he dont make good sounds u have to seee michale amott solo in japan its betther wiill still yngwie malmsteen

[acid3z]

@acid3z jonh 5 is nothing xD 

[grasmatroosje]

why do i want to play this?

[StopRunningKid]

Why would Guitar World do this? It's cool to see, but when they say "Betcha Can't Play This" it not only makes the guitarist seem like a dick, but also subconsciously make anyone watch the video come closer to believing the fact that they actually won't ever succeed in playing it. What a dick move on Guitar World's part. Fuck them. Any of us can accomplish whatever we want and be the best damn guitarists to ever exist.

[no1scoobyfan]

@StopRunningKid cough

[StopRunningKid]

@no1scoobyfan Snorkel. See, I can do it too. Albuquerque.

[no1scoobyfan]

@StopRunningKid rofl

[shaylax02]

@StopRunningKid

when guitar world sends these out there complete lessons... so they teach you everything you hear. and they also have plenty of transcripts so i dont know how somebody would believe there not going to learn it

[StopRunningKid]

@shaylax02 Or maybe you're under thinking it. This is where things start to get intense, like a sick plot twist in a M. Night Shyamalan film.

[xTiLkx]

@StopRunningKid I don't think you've seen any of shyamalan's latest films...

[StopRunningKid]

@xTiLkx I don't think I have either... except The Happening... didn't care much for that one. Aside the point though, I'm referring the Signs days.

[guitars357]

@StopRunningKid I think you're overthinking the whole concept of "betcha can't play this"

[Palmito626]

travesty!

[applepiewithtoast]

fucking love this guy

[TheNekromantique]

reminds me of final fantasy music when hes playing the slowed down version, haha.

[FurbyParade226]

@TheNekromantique Because of the progression! I believe it's C, C#, F? .. can't remember. If I only had my keyboard @__@!!!

[Killnumb]

@TheNekromantique Those are 9th arpeggios :)

[mergim100]

@Killnumb imo it sounds alot like 6th apreggios.

[Killnumb]

@mergim100 FF's were 9th arpeggios for sure.

[mergim100]

@Killnumb naah, those are 6th with a sharp 5th.

[Killnumb]

@mergim100 You talking about FF prelude? Those are C 9th major, then A 9th minor, then F, then G 9th major arpeggios.

[Killnumb]

@mergim100 No they are C, Am, F, G 9th arpeggios in loop.

[mergim100]

@Killnumb its in the key of E, so no, there is no C, Am, F nor G 9th arpeggios there. Those are all 6th with the phrasing on the Major third.

[Killnumb]

@mergim100 Trust me dude the first arpeggios of the final fantasy prelude are 9th arpeggios. Then the last 2 (i think) are 6th arpeggios. Are you any kind of music teacher? I study since I was 4

[mergim100]

@Killnumb if the two last are 6th, then why are you arguing about it then?

[Killnumb]

@mergim100 Because it's both 9th and 6th? cmon stop arguing k

[mergim100]

@Killnumb ill stop now, ive been trolling you since the beggining, ive started to feel bad about it so. Yeah, ive been trolling on you. Sorry, i just took a guess about those 6th arpeggios. but to be honest now, the first arpeggios doesnt sound quite 9thy to me. But hey, my musical skill arent so high compared to yours ;)

[Killnumb]

@mergim100 lol k wdf

[faridfaiza]

@TheNekromantique i bet john 5 plays final fantasy

[Toxin932]

@TheNekromantique im sorta thinking charlie and the choclate factory

[mURDErfAceD402]

damn right I cant play that! Holy shit!

[BrianBosboom]

This actually sounds kinda cool.

[StickManga]

that is so cool



[tattybojangles13]

He is such an underrated guitarist... just shows the prejudice people have about men wearing make up i guess...

[xtort1220]

It sounds a lot better slowed down.

[dgradox]

@xtort1220 oh damn you're right !!

[jacoe99]

He has a pretty damn nice guitar tone, can't lie.

[playloud247]

It sounds really similar to Richie Kotzen's licks in his Rock Chops video...Only not as fluid and interesting.

[TheBUCKETHEADCOVER]

Sounds better slower

[xxguitarhero48xx]

Better question. Betchya can't use this in a real song.

[swingincharacter]

@xxguitarhero48xx That's not a question dumbfuck. :)

[xxguitarhero48xx]

@swingincharacter hahaha ohh you're right!

[Bacon4Rashers]

@xxguitarhero48xx-He already has its from his album.

[stix471]

sounds better slow..

[BurialWarlock]

Is it me or does it sound so much better being played slow?

[skatinsince97]

2 top thumb comments are awsome hahaha...john 5 is awsome 

[wakerkid08]

funny how most of these segments aren't so much pieces that a lot of guitarists can't play but more so pieces that nobody wants to play...

[rockbox73]

Zakk Wylde would stomp this queer!!!!! SDMF!!!!!!

[mikepshena]

@rockbox73

haha john 5 is way better then zakk wylde. listen to john 5s solo cds. there dope. zakk wylde just shreds pentatonic scales.

[rockbox73]

Zakk Wylde would skullfuck this fag!!!! SDMF!!!!!!!!

[SammyTheHusky]

I betchya I can play this.

[synisterxdave666]

slowed down the first parts almost sound like the prelude to final fantasy 7

[kickcableguyinnuts]

this is dana carvey in make up saying "i like to play"

[Burgerphile]

it sounds much better when played slow

[terraking258]

is it just me or does this sound really jazzy slow?

[Chapsu911]

@terraking258 yes, you are.

[Dimitribujiashvili]

@terraking258 yeah! It does

[dylanhodge721]

another amazing riff from jesus

[CRACKHORSE123]

im john 5 and i betcha you dont wanna play this

[MrSatanochio]

@mosharybobo Now that was really intelligent... Betcha nobody`s gonna come up with something more moronic than that... Go learn some guitar.

[mosharybobo]

@MrSatanochio well thank you sir.......i hope that your life is full of joyful experiences.....have a good one......

[MrFunkymonks]

@mosharybobo who gives a sh** if he looks gay or not.. freaking amazing guitar player!!

[mosharybobo]

@MrFunkymonks everybody is entitled to an opinion.... so......enough said

[mosharybobo]

@MrFunkymonks whatever......he's gay....he looks gay.....thats my opinion so......whatever.....

[MrFunkymonks]

@mosharybobo you just confirmed that you are a very Narrow minded person.. ... "enough said"

[lherman22]

@mosharybobo I betcha your a porky loser living in your mom's basement making fun of people with talent and fans from the comfort of your little computer like a pussy.

[StCrow13]

@mosharybobo

Challenge accepted!!! xD

[KristianElias95]

gay

[LostAvantasia]

@MadJack122 Yeah, that's right, judge people by their looks. Who cares if he has a makeup on or not. People like you are taking the freedom out of this beautiful world and making it into crap. I can't imagine how can someone's look make you mad. "You're as great as the things that make you mad". I suppose you're really small. No offense, dude. Peace.

[saval93]

@LostAvantasia im all for you man but the way u worded that made u sound a little gay

[MadJack122]

no i can't play that sadly, but at least i don't look like a fucking idiot with makeup on.

[metalzone2000]

so a classy player! I love John 5!

[Petercaroeelind]

slow is better

[SlaveExplosion]

Wank.

[stangcobra03]

betcha i dont wana play this

[runlikehell73]

Slow is better :) Pure wicked space.

[zwegyi1000000]

mayb john needs a clean up on his pick guard

[baretillo]

thumbs up if u like faster

[crankycactus]

he definitely has the most playable betcha cant plays.... pretty weak

[MiklZz]

thats not that bad

[VelvetFuckinRevolv3r]

reminds me of willy wonka

[Dreamscapevirus]

check out my betcha cant play this

[Ddurgedurg]

its well played but the melody of the whole thing sucks

[sjraiders50]

hey this is gonna sound geeky but it sounds like the song in the temple from oracle of seasons

[EPICFAILSAM]

Oh.....thats not fair :(

[PlayMadness]

He looks like a douche, but damn he's good.

[ruff3890]

He's so great

[yozr1]

what a kick ass name :)

[marshall3212]

you guys miss the point of "betcha can't play this" don't you? it's just guitarist showing off diffucult techniques and their basic "shredding" skills.

[deapwavelio]

@marshall3212 No, is artist showing how to play cool things that sounds complicate for bigginers.

[ozzyfan1995]

Becha can pwn you

[joecuervo71]

Betcha can't afford his effects. 

[RozzWilliams69]

this always sends chills down my spine, i love you john 5, you can kick brian warners ass, any time

[123crapgame]

yeah he can play fast and all that but he doesnt have felling when playing the guitar; being a fast player doesnt mean you are a great player.

[superlou1s]

@123crapgame- No, he really is a great player. This is just him showing off technical skills. And just because a blues guitarist rights a soulful song that has a lot of emotion in it, that doesn't make them a great player either.

[HereticAnthems]

@superlou1s I think you're one of the few people to actually watch a John 5 video, and understand it isn't ab out sounding good, its about technique, and warmups etc.

[TheJphoenix69]

you can kind of hear a little delay when he ends the riff on the last note it repeats when he stops playing

[TheJphoenix69]

delay pedal makes all the difference i thought it was on clean till i heard the repeat echo i tried to play fast without the 15 ms delay and it sounds like poop thats what they dont tell you and its also why people get frustrated when they try to play fast without it

[jamesredfield]

@TheJphoenix69 yeah i noticed that too some months ago , the delay gives like huh , how to explain.... the texture of water to a rock , i dk if u understand me :P

[TheJphoenix69]

@jamesredfield yeah and i find the delayed note gives you a sound like you are playing faster or like a double picking

[Cidantis]

dude, he better fuckin shred

[SVSwamie]

poop is usually brown and smelly

[49BuescherMan]

wow, I might be able to play it on the trumpet, but not guitar. It's a lot easier to play fast on a trumpet than most instruments.

[kar98ksniper]

yeap...i can play that...easy

[MYkillingFETISH]

it sounds way cooler slowed down. some bb king shit goin on.

[3922378742]

i love this guitar

[TheRyry276]

it sounds so much better slow

[breasty311]

If he played that slow and clean it would sound epic.

Instead he just shreds it as fast as fucking possible....shit.

[deadithink]

@breasty311 You have to improve the resolution of your brain so you can listen to every note. It sounds bad to people because their brain resolution isn't up to par.

[Seaannn1]

@breasty311

But then that's the whole point in these videos...

[superlou1s]

@breasty311- Maybe you like a cleaner slow sound, maybe he doesn't. That doesn't make his preference shit, you piece of shit.

[Emceetem]

@superlou1s You started off open mindfully suggestive.

You ended a bigot youtube troll.

Nice...

[superlou1s]

@Emceetem- I'd only be a troll if I wanted an annoying reaction. I was being open minded. And how the hell does that make me a bigot? I am just sick and tired of jazz snobs saying "This player is terrible- his tone is just awful!"

[killerxzero]

i thought he said "the exact same sh$t" lmfao

[Pages225]

Great!!!

[neurocosm]

I like the part where he throws up and it sounds musical. Yes.

[pumpkinheadjrb]

the slow one was better

[ozzyfan1995]

i can play it XD

[wannabeserpento99]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TELECASTER

[xPANT3RAx]

@wannabeserpento99 BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GTFO TROLL

[metalman21345]

when its slow sounds like how guthrie govan would play :D
