So I was watching this video the other day and I was wandering what John does at around 5:04... he's holding the neck, but I don't know why. Does anyone know if this is some sort of trick to get more sustain or feedback or something?

Rick
Looks like he is just muting some strings.
Agree with Wharris. Steve Vai does the same thing and then shreds all over the neck with his left hand..
It looks cooler doing it that way than just resting your right hand at the bridge!
Apologies if you're already familiar with this:....... hold a note, mute the other strings and then gently rest the tip of the headstock of your guitar on the edge of your speaker cab. At gig volume you can have infinite sustain.....providing you know how to control it. Probably looks really crap from the audience's perspective though

hmm...didn't know that, thanks!
Enjoyed that video - both great players with great tone.
