View Full Version : John 5
Has anyone checked out this guy?
He is way talented.
Does anyone know about his tunings for guitar? It sounds like he tunes to low B for crying out loud. I read that he uses .012 guage for baratone guitar - is that how he gets that low crunch sound?

I'm gonna try this low B tuning. .

Well? How does it sound?
I just got home - I haven't strung them up yet.
I plan on using this on my new song.
I'll let you all know how it's going. .

strange tone, like a wah always pushed forward kinda thing...
Well heres a quick song if you can call it that I made using the .012's for a baratone guitar sound - like John 5 does.
It was a quicky so don't expect much. But it sounds HEAVY man
The guitars low E string is now a low B - and I had my drum machine play a low B as well. .

Yes, Marilyn Manson's guitarist. Yes, way talented and underated. Check out his solo album. He's pretty amazing.

Detuned stuff is great. Nice tone mate...very heavy...

I think he is amazing too - the whole Goth, tattoo thing is something I never got into at all. I don't have a single tattoo, or a single piercing.
But his guitar work is quite unreal to me - and I like the baratone guitar idea.

Thanks for the listen - it was only and example - recorded real quick last night. Not very good quality, or playing for that matter!
I just wanted to give you all an example of that B tuning - with the .012's on.
When I strung them up - the damn G string was SO DAMN THICK!
Didn't SRV use .012's? I have a WHOLE new respect for him :)
I'm going out tonight to record for my new song - and I plan on using this new B tuning on my upcoming track.
