John beats on his guitar, plays bass lines, and expressive guitar leads that impress the most critical listeners. This allows him to sound like a whole band even though it's just John and a guitar. John has over 85 hours of music in his head!! That means you could see 42 different 2-hour shows and never hear a song twice!! He has 2 GIANT request books. Anything from current songs to favorite songs you grew up with!! People pick songs they want to hear and write them on little post-it notes, then stick them all over the stage. This lets the audience get involved and also makes sure he plays songs they want to hear!!
