John 5 playing awesome lick!

[buster5731]

forget michealangelo batio all speed no feeling your style is more relaxed and free flowing sounding,you definately know your shit.i tried playing some 8 finger tapping lik from vinnie moore years ago similar to the liks in this video but couldt quite nail it hand cramping.isaac.

[pissingrazors1]

i bet he can find the g spot

[3crazylegomen]

That is sick!

[ab0cha]

every time i hear "and exact same shit"

[Unweonbakan]

and I thought he was a bad guitarrist... damn...

[NakedSocratees]

Does anyone know where to find tabs for this?

[Smalas]

Sounds SO MUCH BETTER when he plays it slow. Speed is not everything.

[OmgUrFace1]

"bitch you can't play this"

[marifercooper]

:o Genial!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MusicalPhilosopher]

I like how weird some of his phrases are, they make me reconsider some of my own and be inventive.

[115krisi]

he`s awesome



[hoosky1143]

He's pretty good

[HeinrichVonOetker]

Everybody commenting on music with the word "better" are morons.. at least if they're not using "in my opinion" somewhere in the same sentence.

[allencoates2]

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

[Hipkiltat]

thats why he gets all the hoe hoe's. killer lick.

[MarvelousLight10]

I really don't care for his tone in this video.

[maleavail]

better??? ok he is good but nothing he is doing is highly difficult when you compare it to high level classical... nor is it the hardest hand eye coordination in general that a human can achieve... not even close... it is just the same old sweeps and hammer ons that have been around in rock since guitar began... I know tons of guys who are just as good... and much much better... I knew a couple of guys that were so unbelievable that they make this guy look rank amateur...

[SOCOM018]

@maleavail this isn't his normal style. he studied country guitar in school and he's incredible with that. this is just him appealing to aspiring shredders out there. in fact the whole 'Betcha Can't Play This' program is.

[ThaThing1337x]

0:40 NOT THAT LICK

[Pagemmanuel]

The first lick looks like Final Fantasy's music when slowed down Oo

[chubbycheex99]

Hey, this is Blair from the real world. I bet no one with taste would want to play this.

[guitarsforever11]

@chubbycheex99

thank you, exactly what i was thinkin

[sleepwalker2112]

Good and boring

[XxMacexX04]

I don't know why but it sounds sort of like Final Fantasy at the beginning of the slow part.

[CQBman136]

lol i was like wtf when i saw him.... he looks funny but other than that hes pretty good :O

[236987451]

wth is he doing with a telecaster?

Get yourself a fucking metal guitar!

[blindness7]

@236987451 Try the jim root or john 5 telecaster and you will see you can play trash death black or death metal with a telecaster!^^

[236987451]

@blindness7 Haha sounds awesome!

I have to try that!

[guitarsforever11]

@236987451

EXACTLY!!!!!!!

[elibetvalencia1]

now lets try...DRAGONFORCE!

[LPJAY08]

@elibetvalencia1 go away, far far away and come back when you've learned how to distinguish good music from aweful "sounds".

[TheGreatKnifeMaster]

john can play way better. that sounds to empty

[sinnertuga]

sounds like something steve vai would play.

[shawnandjames]

BAD ASS. slow sounds better than fast though

[P8Dealer]

Where I can get the tabs?

[SteveO19892007]

When he plays it slow the first 2 times remind me of Willy Wonka

[bogdanelrus]

@SteveO19892007 but then again, ww has a chocolate factory and john has a few hundred telecasters.....whos the badass here?

my money is on j5

[BaseballGod710]

Hey this is John five, Betcha shouldnt play this

[TheMrGunFire99]

@BaseballGod710 stop copying off of people

[BaseballGod710]

@TheMrGunFire99 You do know people have been playing betcha shouldnt play this since the video came out right?

I didnt see it on this video

[kawicrash]

He plays very well slow. Sometimes guys try to play a piece slowly and it sounds rough and out of time, but I am impressed with the slow play more than the fast.

[dirge9]

Nice.

[strNpwrKC]

Has a huge Final Fantasy 7 sound to it. I like it :)

[Rg1527]

@strNpwrKC If you learn major and minor arpeggios and add the 9(or 2nd) u can get that cool sound:)

R-2-3-5-R

or

R-2-3-5-7-R

[toppoxpocky]

chill guys.. he/she's(Kristianeb) just a loser troll, don't waste your time replying to that shit :D let's just enjoy ourselves watching this vid :)

[Kristianeb]

he's really gay

[cuppielover]

@Kristianeb

your really gay fart nugget

screw you!!!!

[HOPPERFZR]

@Kristianeb hes probably not but if he is so fucking what you fucking loser ,go watch your granny porn

[TheDallyLama]

@Kristianeb naww, hes married to a porn star haha

[SergioFigaroa]

lol slower better and sounds like sumthing from zelda lol

[bicycless211]

Alright now you aint Steve Vai by a long shot. Thats the Vai sound

[rmcpimp]

@bicycless211 so i guess anyone who does tapping is stealing eddie van halens sound?? and actually eddie got that from an old jazz musiscian....and actually this guy is right up there with steve vai hes just younger so he may not have as many years of experience but steve vai himeself said john 5 is in his personal list of top 10 guitar players....so stop being so ignorant

[cocoeric1]

an awsome guitarist :)

[tosky89]

@cocoeric1 bah

[1234567891011twelve]

Well John 5 now i have to play guitar and not study for my french exam :p

[FastrTHNu]

it reminds me of all the kids in guitarcenter/samash.....

[SicSolution]

I agree, his tone sucks -___- hes a pretty good guitarist though

[handimax]

I came up as a speed guy...must agree, this sounds better slow.

[chainsawteddybear]

the devil knows my name.

[Metalfarupyourass]

@chainsawteddybear Yeah, i know your name, CHAINSAWTEDDYBEAR >:D

[MUDSHARK111]

sound like a drunk richie kotzen

[Hectorious2222]

you said G String haha but freaken awesome guitar playing

[tdawgheath]

If he did this and string skipping at the same time it would have worked.

[pakk82]

perhaps if he did not have the blues lick at the end

[MrTubeyWoobey]

I prefer it slowed down!

[HipHopMusic01]

i can play better than him. and you know it dylan

[Leonard5555]

his tone gives a headache

[RCM345]

Amazing guitarrist

[bulletformygizmo]

wat the fuk didn know he was this kinda player

[XxJoe1792xX]

better slow, so awesome

[FiGhTtheSoNg]

this song makes me feel like im floating ( or it could be this marker) :)

[TwiggyR1993]

he can play better stuff

[guitarsforever11]

@TwiggyR1993

no he cant

[taylor122]

Ha yeah why would I want to

[Heavymetalhelp]

Couldn't agree more.

[imbanezwtf]

Sounded much much better when played slow

[ironchimpo]

@imbanezwtf agreed.  too fast sounds like crap.

[celicniopanak]

@imbanezwtf ye' it's good but it's not his style :P

[333jas]

Nor would I want to. LOL.

[Rg1527]

Agreed
