John Denner may have been born without a hand, but that didn’t stop him from railing on the guitar like Eddie Van Halen. After teaching himself how to play in his early 20s with makeshift picks, Denner began to capture the attention of audiences.
His 2007 performance on “The Howard Stern Show” put him in the limelight, and now Denner’s story and incredible talent are getting more and more recognition.
Check out the video above to see Denner deliver an amazing Van Halen cover of “Eruption.” Just by listening to all the intricate picking, you would never believe he has any disability at all.
