Just a tip from someone who rifles through a lot of lesson videos... if there's no example of what is about to be taught at the beginning of the video I skip it and move on.

I never knew just how bad ass he was until I saw him on That Metal Show. A true well rounded musician.

You can see these arpeggios used one year later, in his newest song: "this is my rifle."

OK Paul Gilbert can explain himself also, but his fingers are so scary long, NOBODY but Paul can physically play his stuff!!!!!...

John 5 may be the only super-Shredder guitarist who can actually communicate in western musical theory terms exactly WHAT it is he is doing...everybody else just kind of mumbles- "Well I play it like this?!?!?".. OK Joe Satriani can tell you also but he kind of wanders off after while????...

*Plays perfectly without a single mistake* "Of course, it's easier with distortion.." John 5, you fucking genius.
