John is the kinda musician that you could literally sit there and play Em wrong and he'd sit there and say good job man, that sounded off but good job.

[@mr.timebombman2230]

John was a guitar teacher in my area on Long Island way back in the day. Took around 15 lessons or so from him. I kind of got side- tracked after that with other things, then of course DT blew up, and that was that for lessons from him.

[@LMC-xz6qh]

How good of a teacher was he?

[@mr.timebombman2230]

@@LMC-xz6qh A good one. He had patience, at least with me. I remember getting so pissed off at myself because I couldn't get certain things right away. Wanted to smash my guitar a few times. But he had a way of not letting you over-complicate stuff. He would give you certain things to work on for the week, and that was it. After a few months, I definitely got much better than I would on my own. After that, I just kind of played to albums and taught myself.

[@OmenAhead]

That was awesome to watch! Finally the guitar god judges his mortal servants lol. For anyone (guitar nerds) wondering about the trick at 5:22: it's an inverted power chord. Normally on a 7string guitar the guy would play the chord like "5 7 7", but he has only 6 strings so he plays only the "7 7" part with the 5th of the chord as the bass note and the root is a higher note. This kind of power chord is a little dirtier, but less bassy and, because the strings produce a low octave sub frequency anyway, it sounds just as fine even with the low root missing. Big example of this is how Smoke On The Water riff is played. Just sharing some insight on stuff that always fascinated and bugged me when I was first starting out! Hope it helps someone!

I love how John talks about the As I Am solo as "it requires a lot of stamina and right hand technique" He makes it sound like you could do scales every day for a month and be about that level, and I'm over here in 2007 like "ive been playing guitar for 5 years now and this is still beyond alien" He's my OG inspiration. #1 since 2003 when I first saw a video of Glass Prison live in Japan 😍❤

The Pull Me Under cover... I remember it from years ago. It should have been credited to the O'Keefe Music Foundation, no?

3:09 - stoked to see Travis Montgomery featured and watched by the man himself. Travis man, if you're out there, your chops and playing have blown me away for years. Your technique is just mind-blowing. Kudos, huge kudos.

John is super positive and happy to see everyone playing his stuff. Nice guy!

"I can only play one thing" Oh poor John :(
