Title: Mellencamp Live Guitar Playing? Post by: shakeyjrc on October 10, 2011, 10:42:14 am Does John actually plan his Fender electric guitar live?
I think personally it is a prop, since I never hear it. Maybe its mixed really low. I know the Martin acoustic is actually played live. I know John has quoted that he is not that good of a guitar player. Any other thoughts on this? Title: Re: Mellencamp Live Guitar Playing?

Yes, the acoustic is really live. Not sure if John can really play an electric guitar that well.
