John 5 explains the calm and soothing practice of playing with a metronome soothes his mind and sharpens his shred.

The super shredder sideman for Manson, Zombie & Crue steps out on his own for a solo tour supporting his 11th album 'Ghost'. Before a co-headlining show alongside Richie Kotzen, John 5 talks about his love for Les Paul and Chet Atkins, details why he chose LA over Nashville, explains the reasons for his simple setup, and breaks news with the reveal of his unreleased Phantom signature Telecaster.
