“I don't know if the guitar chose me or I chose it.”
For @john5official, the connection was there long before he knew how to play. From the moment he first picked up a guitar, something just felt right. Decades later, that feeling hasn't changed.
Hear John reflect on his lifelong connection to the instrument in our latest episode of String Theory. Link in bio.
