Sugar Foot Rag

I really dig listening to masters of their instruments, probably because I suck at playing mine. One of my personal favorite to listen to is John 5. John 5 is the current guitarist for Rob Zombie and was previously the guitarist for Marilyn Manson. His mix of metal, bluegrass, and electronica makes for a wonderful concoction of guitar goodness. He has four solo albums, his own J-5 Fender Telecaster, and has worked with several bands including Filter, Lynard Skynard, Meat Loaf, Static-X and David Lee Roth. He has even played at the Grand Ol' Opry!
The first video is from his DVD The Devil Knows My Name. This song is called "Sugar Foot Rag," an old spaghetti western swing song that he sped up and made his own. The second video is a song called "Fiesty Cadavers."
