John 5 In Hi-Def 

I could listen to John 5 talk and play all day long, not such a fan of his music but a big fan of him... Great player.

What a cool guy. So much talent and so humble. Thats why we love him.

I haven't seen anything where this guy is nothing but a down-to-earth nice bloke. He also is one of the more talented guitarists to have walked the planet. Bastard! ;)

Love John 5! Child-like passion for Tele’s and music of all sorts. Humble and personable too.

This dude is the most chill guitarist ever. I ran into him briefly as a teenager in Toronto at the 12th fret. I took guitar lessons there. I was leaving and he was looking at a pink vintage ibanez jem. The store owner was trying to shovel him the guitar and he turned to my dad, "You think I can pull this color off?" Fucking funny class act.

Seems like a really decent guy, nice to see a guitar player that do so many different styles.

It's the man not the machine...if a country player can use a Stratocaster for country music why not a Telecaster for rock...good to see musicians still breaking down barriers...just became a John 5 fan...very cool and talented cat

My son lives in San Diego, he has metal friends, he educated me on them. I've learned they have talent built from all genres. I'm especially impressed by how much country guitar they play. I'm 71 And am a new fan.

I really like John 5. He is amazing and also just a cool down to earth guy!

John 5 is like Alice Cooper. Strange guy on stage, totally level headed straight forward guy off stage who knows his stuff.

I love how much this guy loves Guitars and his love affair with Telecasters ❤

John 5 is super talented, WOW!!!

I'm an idiot. I've seen his name for years and dismissed him for some reason. He has a new found fan, like he needs more. Buck Owens was one cool dude, I think John 5 carries his spirit.

John "I actually buy a airline seat for it" 5

i love the fact that he is so simple in his rig setup. its all in the hands.

He just seems like an extremely cool human being. and of course, an amazing musician! just recently discovered his music and now a huge fan.

MUGATU Rocking the new range...DERELICTE

Beautiful story about his wife and guitar 🤩🎸

One of the only “celebrities” that would be really fun to hang out with.

Without YT, I might never have discovered John 5, as there's not much chance of me purposely seeking out MM or RZ music. Not that there's anything wrong with it, just not my cup of tea. Or maybe it is, and I owe it a shot? Anyway, since my "discovery", I must have watched 50 J5 vids. I'm convinced this guy could hang with the elite in any genre of guitar playing. And yes, he does seem like a helluva nice guy.

Man knows his stuff Teles have that mysteriously simple but brilliant tone and design that’s just proven tried and true in every genre it’s used.

J5 is such a cool down to earth good dude.

Huge fan... 5 is 100% class... A genuinely great guy.

John 5 seems so cool

Seems like a really nice bloke. Excellent guitar player as well.

"I'm really bad with years"...lol..love it..if the dude was 93,I could understand..

He comes across as an incredibly easy person to work with which isn't a trait found in many guitarist of his caliber and skill.

Made that tele sound like a damn Banjo!! Pretty Sick!!!..Im gonna try that on my Les Paul Bwahahaha!!

Dang. All these gear talk videos and no one ever asks what his string action, pup height, amp setting is... Otherwise, fantastic video! John 5 rules!

I agree. Minneapolis is the coldest place I've ever been in my life. And I survived the winters of 78-79 in Chicago. So what does that tell you?

What a nice man he is :)

This guy seems like a really good humble kinda guy

Bowling Ball Tele is Gorgeous!!!

I’ve said it before and I’ll continue to say it: in a world where boy bands are seen as legitimate, and people consider rap and rapping as actual music, John 5 is MUSICs last and BEST chance to survive as something artistic and just plain good. He is, insanely talented, diversely trained and yet he chooses metal. The BEST players always do. He’s the only player i know of who could not only hang with EVH live, but give him a good run for the money. Speaking of EVH, does anyone else mind wasting time watching arguably one of the best guitarists in the world playing keyboards? Honestly, I don’t think I’m alone in my backing John 5 in ANY contest against ANY guitarist/ performer. We met John briefly at Universal studios. Not only does he share my families love of classic monster movies, but my grandkids think John 5 is the coolest musician in the world. They are 5 and 6 years old. I’m pretty sure they’re right and I sincerely appreciate the kindness and interest he met them with. A class act.

Wish he and Don Rich could have played together. Would have been epic.

5:37 Let's just talk at a different tempo while sweeping. That's not a big deal right?

Johnny5 you kick some ass!

damn i love this man

Is this guy human. What an ability

I would love to see a supergroup with John 5 and Zakk Wylde. Idk why.

And people say there are no more guitar heroes

Top bloke

what is hiha he keeps talking about.

You can here robs fuckin yap in the background

He is actually addicted to playing guitar. Great addiction to have.

total dude

fuckin nice sound at 11:13

He reminds me of Nick Swardson.

что за красноармейский бушлат на нем?)

Could have picked a better location for the interview...geez...

Es un excelente guitarrista. Pero le falta ese brinquito saque unos buenos riffs que dejen historia, que este en un buen grupo. Es lo que le falta. Para estar entre los 100 mejores

The more you focus on that drum kit mic check.....😒

What... No stupid fake relic look?

that's all real? rude!

C'mon zombie 5,show us a difference riffs,notes,shred,watever...don't play the same thing again again and again, I'm out mad tired of your same KILLER RIFFS,sorry to say that.....keep learning dude...

who the hell still films in interlace mode? it's garbage.

he plays the same shit in every interview lol

First time I have heard of this musician. He is a good player but he is to mechanical, no feeling and I have only heard him play other people’s tunes.

Cool guy and terrific player. Getting more and more into this cat.

I'm at war now trying to convince my family I must have a John 5 Ghost. It has become a quest. I may sell organs.
