    John 5 could very well be the most underrated guitarist of a generation. Much like Tom Morello in the 90s and even now, John 5 is an absolute genius with tone and a dimebag riffing ability always being inventive coming up
    With new sounds. His music is his own. Kids like Tim Henson are on his heals but John continues to evolve.
    Love this guy
    John has his own sound. Hes in my opinion a much more diverse player than many others weve seen the in the past 30 years. No buckets needed..
    Heehaw is classic. Those blue grass boys from the grand old oprey can shred. I mean deal with the devil shredding.
    John is a devilish shredding machine. Angelic tones compiled with demonic intensity..

    I find John brilliant as a guitarist and in his way of being simple and humble with the music he reminds me a lot of Dimebag Darrell and for me it's a very big compliment

    I've heard of most of his influences but I'll admit I had to go look up Joe Maphis. Coming back from that, A) Holy jeebus B) I can totally hear Maphis' influence on John 5. He mentioned Hee Haw in another interview - the, I guess, "pedigree" of John's style is very American and just awesome as heck. The more I see of this guy the more of a fan I become.

    John 5 is a good example of talent and humility. I’ve had the pleasure of playing some of his riffs and style in a Rob Zombie tribute and he is a monster. His soundtrack work on Lords of Salem is excellent too. Very haunting. John 5 could very well be the most versatile shredder out there. Him and Buckethead have carried the “guitar hero torch” honorably.

BTW try using a fender amp lol I gotta admit better than Marshall because of the available availabilities made with mustang amps are amazingly smart to use vs a pedal.

    Once in high school I was carrying my guitar around and it's rectangle case. A person walked up to me and said what's in the case. I said back off man it's a fender. Him and a couple of his guys laughed and said why would I be carrying around car parts and then proceeded to say am I looking for a fender bender had no idea what was in the case I just walked away
