Most people don't realize that he started out as a musician. He went to LA originally as a guitarist looking to get with bands. And wound up getting acting gigs.
@@felipe8511 You are wrong. I knew about it a long time before his court problems and my statement did not mention or have anything to do with his court problems. So, I think, you are looking for a fight, a battle of wits, to be precise. And I hesitate to engage because it is not sporting to fight an unarmed opponent. Cheers and happy Beltane.
Depp is a decent man and accomplished artist who never tries to sell how good he is with his work. He simply plays and doesn’t overshadow anyone with competition. The ludicrous comments comparing him to this or that artist only reveal other people’s jealousy of his talent. The man is loved by many of their heroes and they can’t stand it. Lol. Get over it, life isn’t fair. Some just has more shine on them but we all have our own paths. Live your path without resenting others and you’ll be happier.
@Jedimaster 024 vr0 what r u even trying to say lol I'm not one of those who wants him to be a rockstar, again, I just said that he always seemed like a rockstar to me, he had the vibe but it doesn't really matter to me whether he wants to be a rockstar or not. That's his choice. And for all the other things that you said, well it's pretty much jumbled up so I don't have much to say about it.
Yep..got the vibe..and knows how to pose.. .but I can't find any videos of him playing alone... what you can hear is distorted with overdrive or fuzz pedals and covered up by other guitarists. His guitar playing on the videos Ive seen is rather amateurish.
Not only is Mr. Depp cool, he makes us all feel cool who watch him act, listen to him him play guitar or sing, read what he has to say or admire his paintings. Feels good to have lived during his lifetime....
Johnny Depp is just all around awesome. It's pretty cool this generation is getting a glimpse of what our generation had when Johnny Depp was in his prime & now know what Johnny Depp is all about. I've always been a Depp fan and always will be.
@@fabianvasquezjr8852 People don't attack other people like that unless there is a deep emptiness and bitterness inside them. I hope you are feeling better.
I dont know if your a musician but for me as a musician its more than just a love for music . It is therapy for an anxious mind . It truly is therapeutic for me. I can have the most stressful day and pick up my guitar and begin to play and within 30 minutes all my stress just seems to be gone and I continue to be stress-free for the next 2-3 hours after sitting and playing for just 45 minutes. I could'nt live without having an instrument close at hand . Its also a way to express ones self when words seem to fall short .
Believe it or not, He rtied to make it in rock and roll, but after Nightmare on Elm Street. Which he only did cause he was living in his car at the time. His acting career took off, but he was performing in the Viper room When River Phoenix died of an "Over Dose"
An amazing father, loyal friend when warranted, musician, actor and painter simply outstanding ! Thank you for standing up and telling the truth. JUSTICE for Johnny and helping all men and women who suffer REAL abuse.
I had no idea Johnny was such an accomplished musician. Just goes to show you what a humble human he is. I hope the world realizes what an amazing talent he is not just as an actor.
AMBER was the one that did the smuggling, not Johnny. He was already in Australia when she smuggled the dogs in, but like the loyal stand-by-your-side kind of guy he is he stood by her and he didn't say anything when people said that THEY smuggled the dogs in. However, always remember it was only Miss Amber that was charged.....
He's actually got really nice sense of rhythm here. Really stretches out on those big up strokes and bites into the strings. This is nice to see because the guy takes quite a few pot shots from people online about his playing but I enjoyed that quite a lot actually. Old school feel, just vibing.
As a guitar player myself, I can say Johnny is a good guitarist. He isn't Marty Friedman or Steve Vai, but he can definitely play. He plays within his capabilities and I respect that
Yeah, the man can play. Not as good as he can act, but a player for sure. I saw him with Jeff Beck a couple years ago. Wasn’t happy about it, cause I went to hear Beck, not Beck and Johnny cover Link Wray and John Lennon, but hey, it was still Jeff Beck live, and that’s never a bad thing.
This surprised me! He is a good guitarist! The picking and vibrato alone can tell you he’s been playing awhile and knows a lil about it. But, why does he keep unplugging his guitar lol? Am I missing something? It’s funny as hell but I just don’t know why he’s doing it, unless his volume knob doesn’t work.
I seriously doubt he would want to play like those two even if he could. Probably more into keef, young, gibbons, that type of stuff. Tom waits and johnny cash maybe.
I have followed Johnny since I first saw him in his 1st movie ( Arizona Dreams) ..been in love since! I knew he was a musician first but couldn't get into any bands then he met Nicholas Cage who introduced him to Tim.Burton. The rest is history! He's extremely talented at everything he does AND so gorgeous too!! Ages well ...he's doing fantastic!! And over on other side, his ex psycho is getting what she deserves! KEEP ON GETTING ON Johnny!!!❤
That vibrato and those micro bends and double stops are on point could feel it in my soul. Plus you can tell hes really digging into those strings. Love it
@@estebanacosta3385perfect vibrato on bends is how you know someone can truly play. I've been playing for years and just started working on it and it's a bitch. Or when someone does a nice slow vibrato. So many people do it too fast ALL the damn time and it's soo annoying. Hendrix was great at that slow vibrato and him and Gilmore killed those vibratos on bends
ive never seen a hollywood artist play guitar this good. His vibratos are on point and the main thing is hes feeling the music. Johnny's playing is phenomenal
@@GuyNarnarian mate his expressions are amazing. But all he plays is Emaj, Amaj, Dmaj and maybe some power chords. Non special yk. But sure, hes one of the greatest actors ive ever seen
@@blushiro29 Pretty sure he can play what JD just did in this video, not that complicated. Its a nice sounding little bit though. A lot of actors can play guitar, you'd be surprised. Its a popular instrument.
Yeah. Slash. another seventh grade middle school ability guitar player with a rich kid connected background. You people are so impressed by celebrity. He sounds as mediocre as most guitarists on a drunken binge. Push, pull nd hold on. Don't plat TOO MANY notes. Sloppy fuck.
There's something about Johnny Depp that is truly mesmerising! I always thought he was a cool dude, but that was when I only knew about his acting ability. Turns out he's a fantastic musician and also a brilliant artist. Plus, he usually gives the proceeds from his artwork to charity.
hes a crazy rich, delusional cokehead, like the majority of these ppl. Im so glad celebrity worship is starting to die down some in this country, but as you can see its still alive and well unfortunately. Its a truly sickening part of our culture
@Wendy Edwards - Right?!!! I could watch this video a thousand times and still feel the tingles from my fingers to my toes! This and his Dior ads, my god - he just oozes sex appeal. So talented and oh so fine! Love this man! ❤
you people hate Depp for playing music and say he sucks. but you forget that he was in a band BEFORE his acting career and plays guitar since he was 12. and that he has never actually studied to become an actor, so acting is actually the thing he's supposed to suck at. but he does both and you do neither haha!
So rare to find an artist who truly creates using various outlets! A person born with such gifts has to share them! I actually appreciate getting to see all this stuff. I am inspired by him.
Alice (Vince) is a Graduate Of The "School of Hard Knocks"...the best Individual for Johnny to be Associated With ( Joe Perry, too!)... Love Johnny because he's surrounded himself with 4:44 4:44 These Guys ("Vampires ")...
For you haters out there, I've been a serious, pro level guitarist for 37yrs now and I have to give Dep credit... He has a nice smooth vibrato(which usually takes a few years to develop), his intonation is good(IOWs, his bends are in tune) and his timing is good(laid back and in the pocket). There are pro guitarist that often lack in one or more of these areas. So yeah, I'm impressed. I'd def jam with him(On second thought he'd probably get all the girls, so nevermind). Cheers!
@@afterburner2869 Haters are those people who rush to his videos just to pull him apart. Nothing wrong with his guitar playing. I appreciate a genuine comment such as this :)
L Mac Those that say haters usually mean those that have a different opinion, that don’t agree with you. How do you know people are rushing to this video to tear him apart? Does it make me a hater if I say the only reason he is in the Vampires is because of who he is and not because he is a particularly outstanding guitarist like Joe Perry is? Haters is used to mask over someone else’s opinion, reduce it to just being hateful. It’s a cop out.
@@afterburner2869 There is a big difference between spite and critique. Just scroll through his videos you will see certain trolls coming up over and over again. Then of course there are the keyboard self proclaimed experts haha Oh and you know for certain that is the only reason he is in Vampires? Is that what Alice told you? You see that sort of comment errs on the side spite rather than fair critique. Perry is not the only one in the band and Depp has never professed to be a Perry.
L Mac It’s not spite, it’s an opinion you don’t agree with. Since you don’t agree with it, it must be spite or just being a hater. Thank you so much for proving my point. 👍🏻
Hugely talented man dear Johnny is. He’s one of the best character actors around, damn good musician ( his first love,music) and a fine artist, as well as a very kind, generous, giving, thoughtful and caring human being! Love Johnny!
Omg, his fingers just slide through that guitar, he is brilliant! He's a natural talent! And love Alice Cooper! Two great and wonderful men working together - paradise!
Just a normal Thursday night hanging and jamming with Alice Cooper. Would love to be there listening in person. Seems like it would be an awesome time.
Johnny has been a guitarist since he was a kid. That was originally his dream. Unfortunately, he fell into Amber's web and is slowly coming back. Love you Johnny
If you only knew what he really is and the things he has done..., he sold his soul long ago to the hollyweird entertainment business and most of us know what that all intails!
this guy could not play guitar to save his life... I have been playing guitar for a very long time and I can tell you that this guy can barely play the instrument.
What? i heard Nicolas cage put him up to acting after his band dispersed Think he said he still wanted to be a rockstar even after his first acting gig even tho the money was good, he still felt that being a musician was his calling
Thank you for sharing This with us. I hope #JohhnyDepp got to see it on your channel enforcing how much we fans not fanatics but true fans support and love him. God bless.
I have this video saved to my playlist so I can come back to it every now and then. I smile smugly everytime I watch his fingers move over that guitar, as I recall how Amber made such snide remarks about him and how he 'attempts to play guitar' No one who only attempts can move their fingers so skillfully over those strings. What I wouldnt give to sit in front of him and watch/hear him play in person
@@aschoeb that comment was aimed at the asshole who said "he plays effectively and musically within his technical ability" You know, the RU-vid experts who never posts videos of themselves actually playing. They just comment like superstars
one guitar player recognizes another. i can hear and see Johnny knows what he’s doing . He picks in both directions, he knows his way around the neck,he bends,he uses all four fingers, he’s on time, He makes that guitar schreek and snap.. tone does not come from his amp or guitar as much as from his hands..he can cut it..
@@dissident_sojourner I know theory thanks. 2 albums, signed to a record deal, played as a session guitarist for a while, and most recently my lead singer in my band was on national television. But hey... just assume the guy you're replying to doesn't know anything right? pffft.
I like his blues-rock style. And he is obviously doing it because he's having fun and likes to do it. He does not have to prove anything. Thank god nobody can listen to me playing my bass guitar 😄
+Eri Ana hi again :) I'm happy that I seem to attract nice and polite people with my comment. I didn't expected this after reading most of the other comments here. Nice to have something postitive going here. As for my bass playing: nobody can hear it because I only play in our basement :) Marcillio Ficino was only being kind and polite ☺️ I feel more comfortable being an artist rather than a musician
Johnny plays down home blues with his guitar, feeling his bass guitar. The hard cord sound of the rock in playing can be heard for miles around. Your genuine personality and character has a taste of life for everything, Johnny, regardless of all the ups and downs that have come your way. Keep Shining, Johnny, remember you are always loved by your fans with 🕊️💘🙂 for this is what you display and have displayed in your personality and character throughout your whole life as a actor and now a musician, which nobody can rob or steal the real Johnny Depp. Keep Shining!🌞🌝

Seriously, we know JD freely admits to having had substance abuse problems, and praise him for owning it. In retrospect, Amber Heard wanted us to believe that he was off his head every second of every day but despite being in a band made up of ex-addicts, JD being able to play music like this isn't easy even if they have been playing for decades. Sure, muscle memory, blah blah blah, but he is a man made of extraordinary talent whether on screen or a podium. Anyone (mainstream media) who still refuses to sit down and dig into his past and present with conservative blinders on, your loss, peeps. I'm glad he came to the UK to chill out after the trial. We're a lot more open-minded here about him, and love him to bits.
Oh how i would just love to sit there in the same room And just listen to them jam. Not say anything but just sit and listen. Take it all in. Amazing. ❤
He was a musician before he became an actor and he is absolutely phenomenal on the guitar. I cannot wait to see the magic he creates in the future and I do I hope it includes his music as well as his heart. Best wishes ❤️
I saw JD at a club called Madam Wongs in LA decades ago. I was there to support a friend's band (called the Blenders) and his band, The Kids, played before them. They were really good, as I recall. He sang background as well and had a good ear for harmony. Good stuff!
WOW! Johnny is soooo talented! I've been a fan of his acting for years. I have only heard his singing and guitar playing this week. So impressive! 👏 🙌 👌 😍
@@dianebannister4591 yup. I read a bulletin on Facebook on 458 Johnny Depp that he's taking up piano lessons and there's a sample of him playing a mini sample song on a fan page called Johnny Depp, Our hero, a Survivor.
