John 5 plays Hard Rock Café vault guitars

Apologies if somebody has already posted this.

Amazing player but the fact he clearly had his stylist come over beforehand to dress like half an ostrich is a bit embarrassing. I guess that's why I'm not a hotshot on the LA rock scene

I was more interested in HRC's expensive tastes in wall decoration than in the ability of Mister 5 to extract some choice sounds.

I saw that a while back. Great vid. The presenter is an ass though. 

@soma1975 I’m pretty sure that’s how John 5 dresses. Not all guitarists wear jeans and leather jackets.

He very clearly is one of that bunch that have a rock n roll stylist. All the rage in LA.

No I think John 5 is just a bit out there in his taste.........I've seen footage of his home ...it's very eclectic and arty in style

OP, I think you mean this...

In addition to being a very good player, John 5 in interviews and videos always comes across as a genuinely modest, nice guy. I remember reading a magazine interview with him - quite a few years ago but obviously at a point in his career where guitar magazines wanted to interview him. In it he said that when he was on tour and arrived in a new place he would look up local guitar teachers and take a lesson, because there was always something new he could learn from another musician. That's a class act.

I saw that video where he critiqued some YouTubers who covered some of his songs and he came across like a really nice guy.  Wasn't just like: "Oh isn't that good?" he seemed genuinely appreciative of people covering his work.  The little lick he does with his tele tuned to open E (19:53 on the video) is really cool.

Indeed, I do. It worked when I first posted it.

That lick is from one of his songs called “Behind the nut love”

Thanks @duotone for letting me know.  It's a great tune!
