John 5 is hands-down one of the best modern shredders working today, but to label him merely as a shredder (albeit a great one) is to miss the bigger picture: John 5 is a great guitarist, period.
And a hard-working one, too. The man has a lengthy and impressive resume that includes his famous stint with shock rocker Marilyn Manson and his current gig with Rob Zombie, but the list also includes diverse work with some names you might not expect, including Lita Ford, K.D. Lang, David Lee Roth, Meatloaf, Salt-N-Pepa, Lynyrd Skynyrd and many others. Surprisingly, to many, John 5 has an ardent love of bluegrass music and has the chops to prove it (just listen to Sugar Foot Rag from 2004 solo album Vertigo).
John 5 will be a faculty member at Fender University's Spring 2009 Session. Enroll now:
