John 5 features in the March edition of Guitar Player Magazine<\/a>. He also chats with them on their website.<\/p>\n

From Guitar Player<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“John 5 certainly knows how to entertain. His stage persona, his inventive videos, and his other gig playing arenas with Rob Zombie certainly attest to his larger-than-life charisma. But there\u2019s much more to John 5\u2019s performances than showbiz. He is a consummate technician who can shred some metal, and then zoom through Joe Maphis-inspired country swing\u2014all on his signature Telecasters. Obviously, maintaining such high-level chops takes commitment<\/em>”<\/p>\n
