John 5: My Five Favorite Licks

[@robertkennedy5753]

I freaking love his ideas, to me they're so interesting and fresh. Working on a few of his mini tutorials. Super inspiring! Thanks 5!

[@Twobarpsi]

Dude is a genius!

[@random_an0n]

they aint his,hes copying buckethead,he even admitted to it in another interview,even his ghost guitar is styled on bucketheads white les paul baritone. dude is literally a buckethead wannabe.the taps,the killswitch,the "mask" or facepaint,even his songs content are similar.

[@mattheweastel129]

An outstanding player. So cool that he’s still inspired by such a range of techniques and styles. Country/bluegrass, 80s metal, modern prog metal. Incredible

[@Pedalbored]

I’m a simple man. I see John 5 and I click!

[@leandrosl86]

Me too lol

[@drivenfear]

Me 3

[@Enoskjp]

john 5 is amazing, so creative, his sound never gets old.

[@chris_2714]

I love that John5 is always trying new things on the guitar. Super inspiring player. That tele in the thumbnail is also wicked looking.

[@sirtogii5216]

The banjo lick was insane! Very cool man, thanks for sharing.

[@andrewbecker3700]

The Hee Haw stories are my favorite, because I can relate to watching that show religiously every week. They'd be all snowed up, sweating profusely. But them good ole boys sure could play. Every country star alive was a guest on that show.

[@edwardkaeser2533]

Roy Clark buck Owen's and all those talented people Check out John'sand the creatures ( awesome) hellhaw video...got me to finally put down the air guitar for a real one

[@Robil63]

Love, respect and admire your work, John.

[@grantorino2009]

This guy...just wow. The best guitarist of our generation. A true craftsman. The KISS button on the jacket is a nice touch!

[@EvelioPerez]

Johnny is quite possibly one of the most underrated guitarrists in metal history! Way out there with Guthrie and Petrucci. Dude's brilliant!

[@deekay2]

He's not underrated.

[@julesbrunton1728]

For everyone who under rates him there's someone like you who over rates him

[@joshua3113]

The biggest thing I love about John's playing is his solos don't seem like it's purely for speed but has a direction he's moving the song to. Other people's solos seem like the song gets put on hold for the solo but John is always moving it during his solos.

[@henryalvarez6284]

Thanks John! You're the man!👍🎸

[@leokimvideo]

Ace Frehley has influenced so many of today's great guitarists, lets never forget that fact

[@ayerger1734]

John 5 is the best!❤

[@SS-fc3bq]

My favorite guitarist 🥳

[@SkyNetGeneral-]

SRV = GOD

[@Akjl049]

The way he describes how hearing that banjo kid stuck with him is exactly how hearing John 5 play the same stuff stuck with me. I just finished learning (by ear) how to play Pity Belt. So fun to play

[@bruceniblett959]

John 5 is amazing

[@Krispy1011]

John 5 is on another guitar planet - he is really something else, very inventive and very good!

[@MonteD1]

He is an amazing player. I don't really listen to or enjoy his music, but I can appreciate his skill.

[@TomMeredith-n9k]

I vaguely knew of John 5 before he joined Motley Crue. I knew nothing of his immense talent. His name came up associated with Marlyn Manson. So imagine the amazement when I heard him play guitar. His Medleys are the best in the world.

[@yoredness1]

❤ my favorite guitar player!!!

[@DavidSmith-cr4pw]

Never heard of this guy until the Motley Crew gig. Can't get enough of him now.

[@MatthewKillabee]

Bro how have you never heard of john5? Sweet dreams are made if these...

[@manuelfonseca19]

I have been spent hours trying to figure out that tapping lick to ‘land of misfits’ for the longest time. Thank you!!

[@KrwiomoczBogurodzicy]

Nice glasses. Where did you buy them John? My father's birthday is coming soon and he's a welder...

[@kierenmoore3236]

Those are Bono’s old glasses.

[@efa666]

@@kierenmoore3236 considering where Bono's head went, I wouldn't wear those glasses.

[@martydibergi5228]

They fell out of Bono’s private jet years ago😊

[@radicalben1]

I thought they were from the movie ‘A Bugs life’

[@jeff-TessAD2022]

The 2nd tapping lick sounds very Satriani . Its awesome very nice.

[@DavidfernandoAraucoleon]

Exelente musico me gustaria tocar la guitarra como el😮🎉

[@richevans609]

This guy is Amazing.

[@bruceniblett959]

Badass.

[@pedraw]

John 5 and Buckethead should get together..........I think the galaxy would crack.

[@kevinmaillet4712]

With Les Claypool on bass!!!!

[@Xylus.]

Especially now that they have matching guitars. I think John even said this tele was inspired by bucket. Definitely looks like it.

[@RICCARDOREARDON]

AN ABSOLUTE JOYOUS AND FABULOUS VIDEO... THIS VIDEO IS MOST DEFINITELY IN MY TOP 10 ALL TIME FAVORITE KZbin VIDEO'S... THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS PHENOMENAL VIDEO...

[@glennh.2573]

John 5 you're a phenom. I really think you are an alien 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸👌

[@mazterford]

I didnt realize my jaw was wide open while watching that banjo licks…oh man…

[@nemtall]

That tone is bright

[@toddh4491]

You are very talented with a large musical vocabulary, the kill switch, I had no idea that's what was happening there, and the faux steel guitar is also very impressive.

[@dmfour]

I still would love to hear you play Malagueña. Please.

[@godsinbox]

Unbeknownst to him, a housefly slips in during the creative process, leading to a merger of guitar, man and insect. Initially, John appears to have undergone a successful transformation, but the fly's cells begin to take over his body. As he becomes increasingly fly-like, John 5's friend named Sixx, horrifies Crue fans by firing Mars and cementing his reputation as a monster.

[@waynebeck6517]

I have that engator cab, but my my armogeddon head got knocked down, whould blow tubes, and i could never fix it. Need another one because my favorite tone for 7 and 8 string live i ever liked

[@cb4j]

So much cooler than John 1 through 4.

[@Burnt_Gerbil]

“Land of the Misfit Toys” sounds like “Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing.” That’s pretty cool.

[@chris_2714]

I knew I had heard something similar before. Not a copy, just similar techniques

[@BrettBolzenthal]

I've always wondered, did John 5 get the name from "Johnny 5" the Short Circuit Movie? 🎥 🍿

[@michaelhanson3509]

Marilyn Manson named him for his band and it stuck.

[@fusionstudios4677]

It’s from the Bible. It was Rob Zombie’s idea.

[@whitehh15]

I heard he had a backing track for this video.

[@steveheyman2831]

Love the KISS button!

[@dieselsk8]

This guy is GREAT!

[@maxwellblakely7952]

He sounds like he hasn’t completely blown his mind out on drugs, IDK maybe he’s coked out right now, but sounds pretty lucid to me. Kinda like watching a bonnamassa tutorial.

[@tedrobinson3802]

I used to think he was such a freak. Now he's one of the few that I'd really love to actually just hang out with.

[@John-gt3wu]

At 3:39 what song did he play someone tell me PLEEEEASE

[@ROCK_ISNT_DEAD]

Every breath you take John 5 version

[@SpookyRedz]

I really like when he sings into the hose pipe , “I want it all “ is bad to the bone

[@ChuckSilva]

OK I just have to add another wow❤🔥

[@edwardkaeser2533]

All aces for john 5.. muchas gracias ..que pasa people que pasa

[@davidlawrence3560]

Wow. That was actually kinda cool !

[@Twobarpsi]

What Marshall is that? Anyone know?

[@gitarman666]

Which Marshall head is that?

[@patrickhenry8425]

That hair tie comment was hurtful man.. hahaha

[@theswordofkings7549]

👍😉

[@kenbasham2318]

John 5 was the best guitarist Marilyn Manson has ever had!! Rock on bro!! 💪

[@patrickklemens7872]

The last one was great though

[@EffectiveRange]

Is there any style that John 5 can't play? Went from Chon-ish licks to Country/Bluegrass licks.

[@winston846]

He even plays all those styles on a Hello Kitty toy guitar.

[@FourMypersonaluse]

Whats the BEST PEDAL BOARD 👶🎤🙏👶🎤🙏

[@frankpaws]

Well not to mention or forgot to mention using your pick hand to help mute the strings.

[@fusionstudios4677]

He did mention it. He just wasn’t clear about what he was saying.

[@bembotpbe]

JOHN WICK chapter five now playing 😁😊😆😅😃😀

[@captaintrips8651]

Hair tie joke - was that a stab at Jim Root?

[@ak2nda695]

All I hear is blah blah guitar blah blah Hee Haw 🤪🤣 Oh, and a lot of amazing guitar playing.

[@FourMypersonaluse]

You said ,, LOL ,,, BENDING ,,,BEHIND THE NUT 👶🎤🙏👶🎤🙏

[@FourMypersonaluse]

Is that the BEST ,,,fender 👶🎤🙏👶🎤🙏

[@thiagocustodio8177]

this second riff reminded me John Satch and The Mystical Potato Head

[@TheMrdhyde]

I have played guitar (chords) but only acoustic. I need a good electric.

[@werewolf.of.wysteria7698]

The third is freaky

[@FourMypersonaluse]

Whats the BEST AMP 👶🎤🙏👶🎤🙏

[@mf8236]

His 5 favorite licks are the only five licks I've ever seen him play. Probably that's why he's called John 5 😂

[@Punk_Unkle_Guitars]

I love his heehaw chickin-pickin' 🔥

[@darrinwelliver8219]

John. You should buy a steel guitar and go to town on it. Let us hear what you come up with. I think we and you would be pleasantly surprised. Just a thought.

[@patrickklemens7872]

Hasn't Buckethead been doing this for years?

[@lalimacefolle]

Exactly, he’s blatanly ripping everything off Buckethead… Who’s head and shoulders above him in chops, creativity, songwriting, and plain chops…

[@SpookyRedz]

@@lalimacefolleBS , this guy is not copying anyone , he grew up playing Guitar , played with Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson , John is way better than BH

[@DesertDweller1]

His best lick was when Manson kicked him while dressed like Mickey Mouse.

[@FourMypersonaluse]

Is your fretboard hard to keep clean 👶🎤🙏👶🎤🙏🖼️🎸🚿

[@lamontcranston4022]

This guy is a imitator at every single level.

[@DrMurdercock]

How long before John hates NIkki Sixx? I give it another 9 months

[@Samuel-l7y1d]

Very talented but hate his choice of guitar but it's his not mine

[@metalchef8610]

What should he have bro. A guitar with a handle built in. He literally have some of the coolest guitars ever made lol

[@deekay2]

Isn't Dogs of War better than any of these?😂😂

[@louciphre2803]

John 5 is not part of the solution...he is part of the problem

[@FourMypersonaluse]

You know song free bones for all by teddy nugent 👶🎤🙏👶🎤🙏

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

He's awesome. Eddie who? John 5 blows Eddie away.
