  • Iommy lost the tips of the some his fingers and still played, and this guy still plays even though he doesn't have is full arm, nothing can stop you from what you want to achieve as long as you believe in yourself, and don't give up.

    Cool Beans

  • @DiscoveryGuitar

    Discovery Guitar , not thats a cool username to have on youtube , Look forward to networking with you here .

    John's lesson's are top notch , check out the connecticut guitar clinic one on his official channel "johndenner"

  • Sounds alot like a cross between Johnny Winter and Jerry Reed , Living proof that anything is possible , very impressive

  • John really enjoyed the "guitar lesson" but would love to see something more than just a trailer on this channel ? !

    Does Guitar Instructor ever post full length guitar lesson videos on this channel ?

    They should really consider doing something like they do over @ "Guitar World"

  • I'm more of a Jazz kind of guy myself , but sure can appreciate the technique used here , not to mention just how your doing it

    Very impressive , just wish this was a little longer

  • Great one! What picking precision, makes one envious!

    Ana

  • Nice playing John... It appears your left hand thumb can reach over the neck just fine to press down on the low E string? Mine can't. My thumb will not press down on the low E string... it doesn't bend enough.

  • @JamesLimborg

    Very Jimi Hendrix with using the thump over the neck in that way ..

    Thanks for sharing guitar instructor well done Johnny

  • I think it's pretty safe to say that's not Greg Koch , or Doug Boduch here in this guitar lesson ? !

  • Dear God I believe Sherlock Holmes has discovered the secret behind john denner's guitar technique / style ...

    Maybe we can get this man a job with Disney Pixar ..

    Dig the blue flames on the picking sleeve by the way

  • if you look REEEEAAAAAALLLLYYYY closely at 0:00 to 0:31 you see he doesnt have a right hand!

  • Gary Sinise would really enjoy seeing this guitar lesson !

    I'll pass it along to him for you , now this is a guitar hero brother

  • Impressive Guitar Lesson's !

    Two-Handed Tapping without having Two Hands ? !!! Inspirational

    Great post Guitar instructor

  • It's really hard to keep track of all the guitar lessons online these days ?

    I mean expert village , true fire TV , guitar world magazine , hal leonard publishing , and , Premier guitar , guitar instructor , I wish there was a single location musicians could go to for everything ..

    Greg

  • Just met one of my all time favorite musicians , guitar heroes John 5 @ a club here in New York City ... I was asking him if he ever heard of John Denner and he says you share a friend , Todd in common .. I was more than impressed by what John does and to share the familoy name with you John

    Happy Holidays

  • nice licks just like eddie

  • I know pretty impressive chops right ?

  • wow crazy...

  • Truly impressive and inspirational to see john's guitar lessons

    Dear God this is true dermination @ it's best !

    The ultimate example of the human spirit

    Francis

  • John's Lesson's are very impressive to say the least guitar instructor has got another top instructor in there stable that's for sure !!

  • John , guitar instructor , now this video very impressive

    I must say john has top notch chops !

    Although Im more of a Jack Grassel & John Pizarelli guy myself , the whole guitar hero thing is a little complex for my taste & way beyond my galaxy of thought .

    Still can;t get over that tapping section @ 0:15

  • John Denner Guitar Lessons @ Guitar instructor

    very impressive chops , love the tappin @ 0:15 what do you think of musicians like Jack Grassel & Steve Morse ?

    Seems like your more of an eddie van halen inspired guy from the sounds on this excerpt .

  • Impressive guitar instructor no question about it !

    Thanks for sharing the new video lesson woth me guys !

    Michael Town

  • Guitar instructor now that is an impressive video lesson !

    seems like john should be on the discovery channel or something like that you know ?

    A friend of mine forwarded john's dvd to me at work and I stumbled across this vieo this morning on Facebook

    Inspirational to say the very least , all my love guys

  • Got a question for guitar instructor

    why do you have the keyword legato in this video description ?

    i can understand tapping & van halen

    either way pretty inspiration video all the same 

  • With all the terrible news in today's world as seen on associated press , CBS News online it's refreshing to have a channel like guitarinstructor come along and embrace a musician like this one ..

    God Bless

  • that's simply stunning my friend !

    I have to be honest and say I have never heard of guitarinstructor before , but I found your guitar hero news story music video through a friend @ work and found it impressive .

    Seems like they have some top instructors from teh music world , Im glad to see you in there with the big boys ..

    take care and look forward to more from you in the near future

    Eagle News

  • Just went to the website ( Guitar Instructor ) and purchashed the video lesson for Cheap Trick: I Want You To Want Me , I think the instructors name was doug boduch , or maybe greg koch ??

    That's when I came across this video of John and i agree very impressive chops

    God Bless !!

  • Great video!

  • As much as I dig the John Denner Lessons , how about some Pat Methany group ?

    I know Pat Methany is associated with Hal Leonard & Guitar Instructor right ??

    Anyway just wanted to see something in the way of Jazz related content

  • Cool dude, great tone :)

  • Still can't get over how Jonny is able to play guitar the way he does with one hand ? !

    Very Inspirational video lesson , congratulations on the gig with guitarinstructor man

    your in there with some fantastic talent like John 5 , eric Johnson, Greg Koch, Marcus Henderson, and Doug Boduch ..

    I agree very impressive

    Guitar Instructor is the ultimate online destination for learning to play guitar in all styles, beginner to pro.

  • Comment removed

  • @JohnMusicGuitar GuitarInstructor is partnered with Hal Leonard, not Alfred.

  • @GuitarInstructor

    Impressive stable of instructors over @ guitar instructor , but I'm inspired of course by John Denner's approach to the instrument , and more over his approach to life ..

    God Bless and keep the music videos coming !

    Sony BMI

  • Any relationship to John Dehner the actor ?

    Also a musician only Dehner s instrument of choice was the piano and flute

    anyway very inspirational video

  • very cool man!

  • Love it man !

    Also enjoyed the Marcus Henderson & Greg Koch videos as well

  • John do you know Greg Koch or Troy Stetina over there @ Guitarinstructor com ?

  • What does Orianthi have to do with this music video ??

    You may have just as well put an Eric Clapton or Jimi Hendrix statement next to this video ??

    It is odd how John plays guitar but cool all at the same time you know ??

  • From Eddie Van Halen comes an all-new guitar—the Wolfgang—representing over 35 years of cumulative EVH experience and expertise in guitar design. The process undertaken to develop the Wolfgang took over two years of intense trial-and-error research. The formidable task yielded a series of prototypes that endured a full year of brutal in-concert road testing by Eddie on Van Halens triumphant 2007-2008 world tour.

  • Check Rick Loveridge's post on Petrucci Forum's General Music Chat. I'd link but YouTube won't let me. There's a thread on Ultimate Guitar too I think.

  • Ah yeah i found it, i would post on that forum but i cant register. But yeah i didn't expect him to be a fraud, quite a shame.

  • Turns out he's a fraud, for those of you who don't already know.

  • Do you reckon you could elaborate on this mate, he seems to have wiped himself from the internet completely.

  • is this john? or john miming to a phil hilborne recording?

  • Axis BFR The unique combination of maple, mahogany and basswood produce a warm, vibrant tone unavailable on any other instrument on the market. A hand-selected, premium bookmatched flame or quilted maple top shows off the instrument's exquisite grain pattern. Unique in construction, rich in appeal, the Axis Ball Family Reserve is a class unto itself.

  • John this guitar lesson looks cool

    Why are there no full length lessons on this page ?

    Do you have to log onto Guitar Instructor for the rest of this lesson ?

  • Nice job on the Eddie solo

    Seems like your doing well for yourself in the music world John

    Stop by my channel when you get a chance and check out my Legato Guitar Lessons

    Until we meet again

    Tony

  • Seems like a truly inspirational guitar lesson video John

    Been on Guitar Instructor a few times and liked it alot

    Great music website .. Is it Premier guitar magazine that runs it or Guitar Edge ?

  • In our video song lessons, ace instructor and session guitarist Doug Boduch offers a brief guitar lesson on any "sticking points" in a particular song, and then shows you how to play the song, from beginning to end, with onscreen guitar tab to help guide your way, and a full-band backing track filling out the experience.

    Our video song catalog includes tunes from such classic bands as Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd to modern-day rockers Incubus and Avenged Sevenfold.

  • Great sound

  • Is this in a major key ?? I recently purchased a lesson on Guitar Instructor on Boogie Blues Riffs and it's seem like your playing the same scale here ... give or take a few notes

  • Really enjoyed your guitar lesson videos I almost thought it said John Denver when I 1st seen it on GuitarInstructor ?

    Happy new Year and all the best in 2010

    ROCK N ROLL

  • That was pretty cool !

    Love the Ernie Ball Music Man guitar your playing here.

    Rock N Roll

    LUKE !

  • In my book you cant beat the Ernie Ball BFR Guitars

  • So what do you think of the new Eddie Guitars ???

    How do they hold up next to the new EBMM BFR Axis ?

    Seems like Fender is making a better guitar than ernie ball but the custom shop axis looks pretty sweet

    Let me Know when you get the new guitar

  • awesome playing john, and sweet bfr! i hope to get one in the near future!

  • Loved the guitar lesson sample 5 stars from me

  • Really love the quilt top on the ball family reserve music man guitars

    Blue Oyster Cult "Don't Fear the Reaper" or some blues would be cool

  • hi there johnny, i played along with you and i see (and hear) you are tunes one tone down like kiss and bands like thin lizzy used to..why do you think they did that..tune down half a tone..did it really make singing a bit easy?

  • The Palin's getting this upset about a joke with sexual innuendo is very telling where, in their minds they went with this joke. And as far as the conversation and comments on this page is a commentary of the deep illness in this country.

  • what happened to his arm

  • Great looking Ball Family Reserve! Just a little confused about what color that guitar is?

    Went to the Ernie Ball Music Man website and I could not find that guitar in Brown? Is the one in this video Black?

    Would love to see guitar lessons for complete songs from

    U2, Stevie Ray Vaughan, or the The Who!

    Been working hard these days trying to get the 12 bar blues down and a little blues shuffle robert johnson style.

    Congrats and look forward to more vieo

  • Fabulous as always!! Are you sitting down with the songbooks and learning by tab or are you going by what was recorded and learning the songs by ear alone?

    Just wondering how you went about learning the van halen solo eruption?

    I often use guitar tablature as a resource to get songs down but they never seem to be note for note?/ Especially BLUES riffs and solos?

    really would love to learn eric claptons crossroad solo

    Congrats on the guitar lessons and DVD

  • you have a very accurate touch...what do you have at the end of prosthesis, a pick? For me you are genial..

  • Not sure why but I havent seen this one yet! Amazing playing as usual! I think Im love with the guitar, so much bite and articulation in the notes!

    That's what it says in your video of (ERUPTION) but it's as close to ERUPTION as I have ever heard!

    Simply amazing and I'm not just saying that because of the Ernie Ball guitars

    You know I've watched you a couple years now & it never ceases to amaze me how your technique is constantly improved. Way to go John!

    Dave

    But will say this... You Tapping and guitar technique are amazingly clean a smooth.. Sort of a cross between Van Halen and Joe Satriani,

    Nice work John

  • Amazing John!! Anybody learning guitar that can't find "time" to practice should check your videos out. I show them to my students to kick them in the butt and show them what's possible!! Good one fella. You can tell how much you've fallen in love with the guitar! :-)
