Taking a unique approach, John performs with the help of a loop machine that allows him to record a guitar "loop" on the fly and then play lead, bass, harmonica, piano, and percussion over it. 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!!
