Wow, cool link. THere are a LOT of great players on that page. I liked John 5.

[danyeo]

That's the first time i ever heard John 5 play, he's pretty good but his tone is horrid. Maybe it's just the quality of the video though. That Howie SImon picks with his right arm instead of keeping his wrist loose. I'm trying to get my wrist to stay nice and loose so that my elbow doesn't move at all.

[begin_etienne]

Thanks for the link ! I'm enjoying the clips a lot.

[Romanian Reaper]

That John 5 clip is him playing a Junior Brown song.

[flukewurm]

i first heard about john 5 when he did that album and tour with manson. but isnt he supposedly some hot commodity session player?... yeah. that vid definatly shows hes got his shit together.

[HOWIE]

Cant tell if you guys liked what I did there or not but it was fun anyway! danyeo - I have always picked like that from when I started playing...not something I thought about or worked on, it was just what came naturally and comfortably. I have no tendinitis problems either (knock on wood). Here is an unreleased video outtake from my new DVD with Talisman:

Great liveclip there Howie

Hahahaha, you guys ever hear John 5's clip on his website????

One of my buddies (who happens to be an INCREDIBLE guitarist) told me he thought John 5 was pretty monstrous, and I couldn't help but laugh at him. I thought he was joking, because all I'd seen of John 5 was the Marilyn Manson stuff. Then I heard what he can REALLY do on his site and was like WTF??????????

It's hilarious hearing a guy dressed in Goth clothes playing country chicken-picken stuff!

[shredhead666]

btw, clips no workie for me.

[Dave L]

Hasn´t John 5 played with DLR? That´s a pretty demanding gig, imho... David´s had some killer players in his solo act. But I don´t think he was "John 5" at that point, but instead just used his real name.

Oh, it was great stuff.

[Tag]

Holy crap! :eek:

Who woulda thought John 5 could tear up that rockabilly stuff!?

Very cool.

[SteveVHT]

Definately good stuff Howie, ....
I personally think Alex, Ralphie and a few have that stuff down much faster and cleaner though.
The thing I like about Howies stuff is that he seems to know where and when to play, as does Alex etc.....
I'm jealous....
I should have practiced as a kid....LOL

Your band kicks some serious ass brother...
I love it.

[shredhead666]

BTW, Howie, you kick MUCHO ass. Stick around if you can! There's lots of pretty cool people here who would definitely dig hearing more of your stuff.

Oh and anyone who isn't familiar with John 5, check his website - http://www.john-5.com/

There is some NEAT stuff to be heard there!

[gainfreak]

I have alot of stuff from Howie!! He is a great player for sure!!

I love some of the stuff that he did with Ken Tamplin!! He has more then a few burning solos!

He has definitely played with some killer musicians (Ken Tamplin, Gary Shutt,Jeff Scott Soto)
