1. John can't sing, nor can I.
2. John can't sing, neither can I.

3. John can't sing, and nor can I.
4. John can't sing, and neither can I.

5. John can't sing and nor can I.
6. John can't sing and neither can I.

Which ones are correct?

Thanks and happy New Year.

As far as I remember from english class:
"neither" is used for singular items and "nor" for plural items.

So all of your sentences involve singular subjects,
thus "neither" would be the correct form for all
examples.
