John 5 Rocks Out

[punkiej999]

Reminds me of Nyan cat x'D shiiiit x'D

[jawneeshow101]

why does everyone think Slash can play the guitar? John 5, You are a fuckin mountain among little sand hills of guitar players.

[slashdelbarrio]

@jawneeshow101 I'm not subjective due to my youtube name, it is really old, but you can't state that Slash can't play guitar, he's just a fucking legend. He has a very personal tone, a kind of unmatched expressive bends since SRV and Hendrix and great solo melodies. Not to mention that he wrote the guitar parts for Guns n Roses...ever heard of the band?

[slashdelbarrio]

@jawneeshow101 Wow I think you're getting nowhere, GnR a highschool band? Maybe their first album is raw, but it's a hard rock masterpiece any singer and guitarrist enjoys. And Use Your Illusion..well I think the arrangements on Estranged and Novermber Rain, for example, are the result of crafted creativity. And yes, J5 is a virtuoso such as Vai, but there's no need to ve a virtuoso to be a great musician, it's not all about technique, take David Gilmour for example (i'm out of characters

[Emzye1]

If John5 and Slash did it, Jesus would be born.

[slashdelbarrio]

@MichaelsPortraits Seriously shitty recording hardware for anyones standards, sounds like recorded with a cell phone, but the playing is great. Know the difference.

[liciying]

John5 prefers GHL, so dont do it :))

[mitchtickler]

Not sure what! but something about the Video makes me want to change my strings to XL Diaddario's...

[glennjridge]

YEEEEEEEHAAAAAA!

[surveyordave]

sugarfoot rag. i guarantee you...slash couldn't touch this with a ten foot pole.

[Reed0Sparky0Leighton]

That is something that I dont like about my guitars. They all have a locking mech that takes all vibration away from the headstock. So no sound comes from it. However. It does keep my trem from pulling the strings out of tune.

[son0fsocal]

That dude is weird.

[aperfectrain]

Six string samurai

[Twisted666Clown]

the thing he does @54, i do that sometimes. its fun. never seen anyone else do it before. its awesome! :D

[0mgWtfBbq718]

Marilyn Manson, John 5, and Twiggy Ramirez are the only really talented musicians of the band. I think the band overall could do better

[sidewaysfcs0718]

@0mgWtfBbq718 ginger fish - forever alone :( he has been with the band since 1994 :( ...althow he never appears as a composer on their tracks ... not even as drums :(

[mURDErfAceD402]

I wish i was a Demon God sent to earth to make everyone else look like shit on guitar like John 5

[audiotrax2000]

I'll bet Marilyn would NOT let him play those country licks in his band...

[MetalHead417]

i dont get it why his solo carrier didn't work to good

[crazyhaircut94]

@MetalHead417 What are you talking about, his solo career is going great, he's currently working on his sixth album and making a very good living of it.

[024leoj]

This makes me miss Hee Haw!!!

[SuperMarioZombies]

the guy is damn good and seems to be a nice guy to boot

[SuperTowlie420]

John 5 is the man on the guitar wow!!

[XBlackAndRedRosesX]

at .54 that was fucking insane

[allencoates2]

Check out youtube, Allen Coates/Broken Man. Its pretty good! John 5 is one of the best players on the planet. Take notice players!

[hoosky1143]

Imagine Brad Paisley's music written with John 5's guitar work

[allencoates2]

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

[iiiSK8orDI3iii]

Don't be a twat

[ShadowBlack54]

Its better that marilyn manson and john 5 would not fight each other especially ginger.. why marilyn hate his band?

[reverberator100]

sounds like a metal version of a song you'd hear on mario cart....



[Bannersnake]

@reverberator100 I'd play that

[CoolKwstas123]

@TheMrGunFire99 its just a pinch harmonic.....and a string bend xD its really nothing. Go to some pinch harmoncs lessons here in youtube its nothing hard and when you do it hit the string open with a pinch harmonic and then bend it behind the nut

[threedaygracer]

@CoolKwstas123 doesnt it normally lose tune from behind the nut tho?

[ShadowBlack54]

Hey Don't Speak Bad words to Marilyn Manson...

[siucdude88]

@ShadowBlack54 Manson is a bitch

[ShadowBlack54]

@siucdude88 YOUR THE ONE IS BITCH.....ALL MARILYN MANSON TEAM BAND ARE AWESOME....AND YOU ARE BITCH...

[ShadowBlack54]

@siucdude88 YOUR THE ONE IS BITCH AND ALL MARILYN MANSON TEAM BAND ARE ALL GREAT.....AND YOUR THE ONLY BITCH....GET LOST MAN...

[siucdude88]

@ShadowBlack54 lol manson is still a bitch... his band and him both suck and john 5 is a million times better for leaving... manson isnt even remotely relevant in the metal world anymore and he treats his band like crap... i respect almost every musician but manson has nothing good about him... so blow it out your ass and go smoke his pole if you love him so much lol i was just saying he was a bitch to be funny but i love the reaction i got... and its you're btw... just thought you should know

[ShadowBlack54]

@siucdude88 You don't know about marilyn manson. thats why he treats his band like that is because he is

a devil he is an anti christ..... but i still like him.... but his band did not leave.... marilyn manson will just use his band if he need it....john isn't leaving... your crazy.....

[siucdude88]

@ShadowBlack54 what? lol john 5 left mansons band in like 2004 i think.. and he sued manson over rights to songs and won i believe... manson is a douche to his bandmates for his show... not because he is an antichrist... john 5 plays with rob zombie now and is way better for it...

[ShadowBlack54]

@siucdude88 I Know why some people don't like MM because he's an anti christ........ and they love god...... and not devil....... people are fucking nothing...

[SOCOM018]

@ShadowBlack54 sounds like SOMEBODY wants attention for being a satanic rebel...

[ShadowBlack54]

@SOCOM018 Im already a satan.... Im sick of people really really sick!

[bassrev]

@ShadowBlack54 dude you type like you're inbred. MM isn't "The Antichrist" (there is only one, and its not him) Not like god or the devil exist in the first place. MM is a conservative piece of ignorant shit who thinks he's an actual rock star but he's actually a wash up who uses his image to get attention... but that's old news, welcome to 2011 homo's, MM is dead. Oh btw John 5 has been out of MM's band for years. you must live in the south in a shack in the woods. But john 5 is cool.

[ShadowBlack54]

@bassrev Dead?what the fuck mm isn't dead.....your a shit man!!!!!!! get out'a here!

[threedaygracer]

@bassrev You need the Lord

[ShadowBlack54]

siucdude88 

[12triggerman]

BANJO KAZOOIE!!

[nejikid]

yakkety sax any1?

[pipsqueek14]

@TheMrGunFire99 a squeely with an after the nut bend ;)

[pipsqueek14]

john 5 is AWESOME

[WilipichinXD]

Fucking Manson

[Yoman1634]

Good god, that was nice!

[l0lercaust]

@TheMrGunFire99 not 100% sure the specifics of the harmonic(if it is a harmonic) but he's playing a harmonic either pinch harmonic or somehow past the nut of the head and pressing on the excess string to make it tighter bending the pitch higher. It's a relatively common technique but...just rarely ever has any place in non-experimental music.

[mrfish4lyfe]

this dude can play

[LiutenantIroh]

he's a good guitar player i jsut dont like his style!probably trailer trash

[2Funky4me]

he makes his squealies just like i do!!! fuck vibrato bars! yeah!!! xD

[karimaski]

fuck manson john 5 is best



[Deathz0r94]

@TheMrGunFire99 Pinch harmonics on the open strings and bending past the nut.

[jagung5]

no doubt.... this guy is talented...not sure if slash can play this style...

[AXELGRIZ]

@jagung5 not sure if slash wants to.

[inspiralroses]

@jagung5 So what?

[Dravensdmf]

IIRC this song is called saltwater creek. he recorded it for total guitar mag at one poiint and i think its on his solo album.

[calitheguitarist]

@Dravensdmf dude... this is called Sugarfoot Rag. originally played by Hank Garland back in the 50's and 60's

[IbanezPGM300]

Wow,so amazingggggggggg

[theultimatexperience]

It's like the Dig-Dug game.

[zwatrif]

I enjoyed that very much!

[BR3AK1TD0WN]

@TheMrGunFire99

Pinch harmonic with pick hand and mash the strings down at the headstock it's sounds wicked :D

[F4TB0Y69]

@TheMrGunFire99 above the nut pinch harmonics, works a treat when the six machineheads are on the one side of the headstock also amazing in country as im sure u noticed:)

[GuitarMaster5155]

EXCELLENT!

[METALISMUSIC100]

0:54 haven't seen anyone do that

[DireWolf010]

@METALISMUSIC100 it's actually simple. He makes the 'scream effect' and pushes the excess string to make the sound

[METALISMUSIC100]

@DireWolf010 yeah but i still haven't seen anyone do that

[DireWolf010]

@METALISMUSIC100 yeah true.

[gorefinder]

@METALISMUSIC100 its really easy, just dont press it too hard, because it can snap, you just press it with your finger :D its really awesome when put in a solo or something :D

[METALISMUSIC100]

@gorefinder I know its easy I just haven't seen anyone do that

[gorefinder]

@METALISMUSIC100 Oh sorry then XD Theres a lot of these little things that are great, I watch a lot of these videos so I always find some useful stuff :D

How long do you play guitar ?

[METALISMUSIC100]

@gorefinder 1-5 hours a day. I've been playing since I was 15. i'm 17 now

[bigtiii]

1:18 is my favorite part

[mcmanusfamily1]

hummmm.... he's a good player, but i gotta say, sounds like a metal guy trying to play country.  head down to lower broadway in Nashville, this guy will get slaughtered. it's not a competition, i know, but it's just really not that good. it's cool, but not good. probably only makes sense to me!

[cobracarg]

@mcmanusfamily1 he has said in interviews that he learned country music before learning rock music because it was in fact country music that made him pick up the guitar

[BuzzCrumhunger]

I know the main riff from Junior Brown's 'Guit With It' release, but Jr. may have ripped it off from an earlier country tune, not sure...

[fetusjuice]

What song is this riff from?

[Soulfulshreddify]

He is seriously a skilled guitarist.

And 0:55 , check out his "Behind the nut" :)

[viddikaka]

0.54 - What the hell was that?! Awesome!

[FDLT2006]

@viddikaka harmonics...

[snoopybheroz]

he is the best!!!!!!!!!!!

[JoeKooL25]

he had the tele sounding like pacman for a minute



[Sweeper5]

Am I the only one who thinks the tone of this guitar is awful? I'm not dissing Mr. John5's playing, but that guitar tone sounds really horrible.

[metallifuc]

D'addarios in the background. the only strings i ever use

[MapMakerGuru]

@metallifuc looks like an extra large condom :D

[PokeYouWithaSpork]

I love the product placement of D'addario strings

[theChaosKe]

how is he doing this bends and squeels behind the nut? O.o never seen that stuff before

[jbuck105]

@theChaosKe doing a pinch harmonic with his right hand and doing a behind the nut bend a the same time, It's simple once you get the hang of it.

[plectrumthepickypick]

Definite musician. Impressive.

[dansnuphith]

well...that's it! i give up guitar i'm going back to drums

[Vehement78]

I love that he's a tele player, It takes a REAL guitarist to get into one of those things, proves that it's down to the limitations of the player only.

[MarkMezhn]

Why telecaster?? It's so hard to shred in those...

[crazyhaircut94]

@MarkMezhn He's stated that he finds the Telecaster more comfortable than any other guitar.

[DarkdeviI725]

@MarkMezhn Its all down to personal preference. You can shred on a 2x4 with strings on it if its what is comfortable for you.

[MarkMezhn]

@DarkdeviI725 lol, you're right... it depends of your type of hands...

[Sketch95]

@MarkMezhn maybe for you... but john 5 does it. so does jim root... question yourself BEFORE the guitar, dude. and plus... telecasters are good from light nirvana distortion to high gain testament distortion. and excellent clean tone. they're VERY good guitars. (to me)

[metalhead19931]

those behind the neck bends are sick!

[damienblake92]

this is soooo beast!!! fuck yeah!!

[chainsawteddybear]

bluegrass.+ insane shred with mean metal licks.="blackgrass"

[Clamfyre]

Looking at his face while he's playing makes me laugh.

[superagnitio]

blackgrass

[quasarthecat]

that's a weird hybrid! shred country?

[luclfersangel616]

I'm a huge manson fan and I must say, he is much better than he is made out to be by the band!

[8thgradecuadorian]

Holy. Fuck. What's he doing at 0:55-0:57?

[2KBananaPeels]

@8thgradecuadorian Simply bending the string past the nut, with a nasty harmonic ;) guys a monster.

[CydoniaKnight1]

it sounded like an awesome version of a hillbilly song

[BFMVryan]

0:45 is a fail XD

[gokuhatake]

dude.....WHAT THE FUUUUCK...!!!!!!!

[Metal8Lover]

i love him!

[luis74hernande]

which is the name of the first song ??  0:00 0:25

[ZePortouga]

@luis74hernande

I think it's 27 needles but not sure

[zwiemenoe]

@luis74hernande Everyone that wants to know, the song is: john 5 - sugarfoot rag

[SicSolution]

I love those tapping licks!!

[buckster7777]

@tasdvl9 right...so why isnt buckethead more well known if he is so "musically" talented (in your opinion).

[GuilleGuiden]

@buckster7777 Wrong. So, for you, famous its directly talent and skill? Im totally disagreed...

[123vaw123]

@GuilleGuiden thats like saying beiber is good because hes so well known

[FloydIV]

this isn't talent, skill though hahah

[oioi99]

just another day at the office..christ

[ramm69stein]

one of my favorites :)

[billeh93]

buckethead shreds so much better

[AbominableNoMen]

It's not about just the shredding! It is a hybrid of some killer twanging along with shredding!

[buckster7777]

@billeh93 I like this better than buckethead's mindless sounding blurr of notes.

[ZomBLord]

Bluegrass shred :D

[bungmasterteddybear]

not the best quality vid, but man, he is AMAZING!!!!

[Telelikeitis]

Sugar Foot Rag shred style or maybe Tony Rice having a flashback.

[Telelikeitis]

Sorry Norwaffle, the song is called Sugar Foot Rag.

[TikinhoKun]

really nice, but I've just liked the 2 first albuns, the other ones sucks

[MrBatch73]

Now he can play. He has his own unique style. I have never listened to him before about 3 weeks a go. Consider me a fan and my mind blown!

[ellogovenah2011]

0:52 extreme pinch harmonics??

[ellogovenah2011]

if he insists on playing country,the why in the hell does he look loke he does?lol,.,its kinda funny though,.,some of this sounds like shred country

0:40 ??

[anonazero]

@ellogovenah2011 cause music aint about how ya look. its about how ya sound :)

[camodent]

Its a mix up of a few things not just one song. Theres some sugarfoot rag in there also.

[Narwaffle]

The song is called Salt Creek.

[harveydents]

@Narwaffle WRONG, the song is SUGAR FOOT RAG by HANK GARLAND

[meirace]

ain't that the baddest tele you've ever seen

[YuppaThatsRightImma]

chikin pikin

[TheGaurdian0906]

tahts songs called fiddler i think lol

[tadhg4play]

i can see with this style he is more suited to zombie!!! love both bands tho!

[Shit2223]

No wonder he left marliyn manson he's actually talented

but im not a big fan of this style

[MrVoxguitar]

@Shit2223 yeah his style is very offbeat

[SteveFraz91]

@Shit2223 He doesn't have just 1 style. If he can go from Rob Zombie to Skynyrd, that should say something.

[Shit2223]

@SteveFraz91 Not saying he doesnt im just not to fond of the one hes playing now

[deadramaster]

@Shit2223 fuck off he sucks, its country

[ManvelKennel]

Un genio!

[atmdaddy]

Man this cat is WAY better than I ever imagined

[xGundamz]

this cat? wtf

[atmdaddy]

Cat,dude, bro, amigo comprehnde guy

[avrilsdream]

down at the park with a friend called five...

[crazyhaircut94]

It's all one song, it's called Sugar Foot Rag from the album Vertigo. Whoever said The Devil Knows My Name is lying, that's not a song, it's an album.

[nistec]

the whole thing is a song called sugarfoot rag

[FiGhTtheSoNg]

its all one song its called the devil knows my name

[dimlightbulb10]

i love his style.

[Leonard5555]

He plays like Andy Wood except not as good.

[Legend5467]

and how many albums have you released? dumb bitch

[themansonfan666]

BITCH GO FUCK OF! JOHN 5 IS AWSOME!

[blankwavemessiah]

hes got mean pinches.

[bratwurstsalad]

Heh. He messed up at about :44. I know he's awesome but it's kinda good to know that even the greats are human too

[notyourhomeboy]

blasphemy!! LOL

very true man. but he played it off cool and still rocked

[bratwurstsalad]

No doubt man. He's as sick as they come. I even saw a vid where Satriani missed a note. I think I may have even missed one once. I don't remember..... :-D
