For people who aren't familiar with John 5 or his work, he's one of the most criminally underrated guitarists out there. The style versatility he brings is incredible. You can see why everyone wanted to work with this guy. He tours with guys like Marilyn Manson, but can also go out and do a top country tour. Astounding.
He's been active as a session player since the 90's. If you're wanted by people like KD Lang, Ricky Martin, Avril Lavigne, Rob Halford, ... you're anything but underrated. The people that matter know very well what he's capable of & by the end of the day that's what pays the bills.
The cream rises to the top, as underrated John 5 is and realize his guitar chops are outstanding, in 10 years when Jeff Beck fans are looking for someone at the top, there is no need to worry, there is guitar greatness, versatility and phenomenal skills in John 5.
Thanks for the good info! I'll look into him for sure, ran across this and wanted to know this, he's impressive 🤘🤘 Gives a Stevie Ray Vaughn vibe for sure

I've watched several videos of his playing from banjo style to heavy riffs he's just got a heck of a gift. I literally could listen to his playing for hours.
I was at this show and I didnt quite know who this guy was until he played this, TERRIFIC guitarist, massively underrated. Would love to see him play a full show of his own stuff.
John 5 wicked awesome an influence to reckon with. On my way sir, I do hope my time here allows me to the chance to impress you. Late Bloomers Always Aim High. Thanks for the tunes and the style, most if all, a goal worth my effort.
I watched a mini Documentary about him about a year ago and he blew me away at how knowledgeable and just plain bad ass on anything 6 string. I was shocked and then this just reaffirmed my prior thoughts....John 5 is just a fuckin bad ass period!!
Wow...that's pretty fukn cool Johny5♡...hahaha my man =) just an accomplishment to remember that many songs bro..but then to do them all so fukn flawless....four fukn stars mr. 5 =)
Holy crap, we were there. Thats the night after a day at Namm show. Iron Maidens there also with Scotty Ian and Dave Groul. Was a great night for sure 👍 👌 😌
Thanks for the post. John 5 is just master class, keeps getting better and better. These medleys are fantastic. What is the track at 8:24 on this video ?
He could do this without a bass player.since u can't here him anyway.john went the a music college and told them to give him the top 5 bass players and top 5 drummer's. And he picked these two guys. Best gig ego wise a financial wise they will ever have in there life.
We walk onstage and play this Dimebash gig with other people's gear and no soundcheck, so yeah, you can't hear me very well. Come check out a show sometime and see what we do.

I remember reading in a guitar magazine when he first joined Mason's band that he had previously played for Cher.

John is a master of the telecaster. Great playing from one MI boy to another
So much fun to watch John whenever he is in town
John 5 is one of the best, and I know that a lot of people don’t respect that but he is one of the most talented players I’ve ever had seen!🤘
😂 there's literally a million guitarists who can do what he does.
Dr.Feelgood sounded killer. Props to Motley and especially Mick for writing the tune and having the tone to kick it right in the nuts!
Damn, John 5 can play anything. He nailed everyone of those songs. Wow !
I've watched several videos of his playing from banjo style to heavy riffs he's just got a heck of a gift. I literally could listen to his playing for hours.
When I don’t what to listen to, I’ll stick on some John 5. He’s got everything covered
The man, the myth, the legend, Mr Juan Cinco
I don’t know if you heard the song but his name is John 5. 😉
Wes_hopwizard. If you don’t know cause you are too informed but Juan cinco means John 5 pussy so get it right
I was at this show and I didnt quite know who this guy was until he played this, TERRIFIC guitarist, massively underrated. Would love to see him play a full show of his own stuff.
Jezus there is nothing and I mean nothing that this guitar wizard can’t play! Unreal a true legend
