Johnny Hiland moved to Nashville in 1996 and started his guitar artist career in 2002. By 2004, he signed his first record deal with Steve Vai’s Favored Nations label and released his first self-titled debut album later that year. Legally blind, Johnny has become world renown as a guitar artist, session musician, master class clinician, guitar teacher, and songwriter.
Johnny Hiland has been named in “Best of” lists in the guitar world including being named one of the “Top 5 Best Chicken Pickers” by Gibson.com, one of the “50 Fastest Guitarists of All Time” by Guitar World Magazine and, most recently, named one of the “Top 3 Country Guitarists” in the 2017 Vintage Guitar Magazine Readers Poll.

Yes. He's a god. A complete master. He does get more recognition these days than he used to. But its still not enough.

[@leonobles228]

This man is one with his instrument. We are blessed to have him in our world. Every time I listen to his music I am happified.

[@vanguard4065]

[@thomaswesp946]

[@martycopley]

Just a heads up/fair warning, I agree 100% and am (also) going to “borrow” toy ur term “happified”

[@karoljopp7191]

Nicht Music

[@karoljopp7191]

He plays very god

[@IbrahimYamamota]

He's a gifted man. He can play even he's blind like jeff and other blind players.

[@stantissue2065]

Clarence White lives on through all the B benders built since his original prototype, which is still in the capable hands of Marty Stuart.

[@larryn2682]

Dont forget Gene Parsons.

[@wyattblackwood3927]

Marty Stuart is a living country music legend, amazing musician !!

[@wyattblackwood3927]

Johnny Hiland is one of the most badass country pickers on the planet. Johnny inspires me so much through his playing !

[@southboundguitar]

Not just country. He can play Van Halen to a T. Or anything else!!

[@karoljopp7191]

Mee to

[@pesthlm]

With all his amazing techniques and playing style, he must be among the most accomplished guitarists in the world.

[@butchschulz9879]

I've watched this 4 or 5 times and get a big ol' Grin and Smile Myself.. Thank You 😁.. All the work and love You put into practicing has put smiles on millions of faces 😁😁😁

[@stringbender57]

Johnny is the man...period! My favorite country picker hands down!

[@McHale72]

I don't think I've ever seen a musician have so much joy while playing an instrument. His love for music is incredible, only topped by his talent. I've played some of his video for musician friends who despise country and even they are amazed at his effortless playing and ability.

[@shannonarnold9414]

You just can't touch his sound!! Brings me to Gillys Bar!! MAGNIFICENT 🎸 🎶 ❤️

[@mellovato2177]

I like to see Johnny and Brent Mason play together.

[@darrelloxford7101]

Hi big fan question if you don’t mind me asking what are those headphones your used in the video

[@triggerfish6619]

Jonny.. just thanks man... beautiful ❤

[@genem9725]

The only thing that keeps me from playing like that is ability.

[@mikeault]

Great Johnny! I’m thinking of getting one soon!

[@johncarlo7395]

Thats it, I'm gonna smash my Guitar up, it's just nor fair.

[@johnny-r]

Of course Johnny plays a very different style than Shawn Lane did, but I have a feeling we might be seeing another version of Shawn - a guy who has no limits except is imagination. Watching Johnny play is like watching something that isn't human, just like when watching Shawn.

[@BaronVonSchnarffler]

I should stop playing guitar 🧐🤔😆👍😎

[@stormriderkaos]

BBBBBBender baby!

[@MrDmadison01]
