Arguably the greatest electric guitar player in the world and inarguably the nicest.

[@LaymanDrugCompany]

Johnny is truly a gift to the planet.

[@jefflewis5546]

Totally agree. I cant think of one player that impresses me as much as Johnny !!

[@lucaselder4451]

My favorite guitarist by a mile!

[@hulkhuggett]

Definitely in my top 5 of guys who are still alive. I tell people about him all the time.

[@WeAreNotAmused]

I got to say he's definitely in the very best he is in that area but I think once you get to a certain level of mastery like that it's it's a plateau where everyone can kind of hold their own amongst each other and jam trade riffs out let's think of it as a Mount Olympus or a plateau a Pantheon of the greatest he's definitely there he can hold his own on stage with any picker today

[@GuitarverySimple]

Johnny be good, Johnny be super good

[@SuperFreeamerican]

If this gem passes away he’ll be known as the best country guitarist that ever lived. Period. He’s the Randy Rhoads of country .

[@frossbog]

He'll be the best guitarist that most people never knew about. I also wouldn't define him as country. More a country/metal fusion.

[@eastwest42286]

Right up there with Danny Gatton. Those two could play anything.

[@ElliotRose]

Combining the styles of EVH/Hendrix/Tom Morello seamlessly & simultaneously- like, no sweat? That's insane.

[@b.t.c6419]

Not to forget, Eric Johnson and Robben Ford

[@neal9812]

I hear a country Joe Satriani, and that is no easy task

[@LaymanDrugCompany]

and Danny Gatton...

[@rolomolo3839]

@@LaymanDrugCompany especially danny gatton...

[@50gary]

@@LaymanDrugCompany Yep, I agree, the "Humbler" Cowboy Jazz. I came here form the same video but analysis from Michael Palmisano. Johnny is my favorite player for sure.

[@mikends2682]

This dude is just overwhelming… I mean, he is just one of the best ever, period.

[@MrSpunkletrumpet]

I think the thing I like the most about Johnny is how considered his playing is. He keeps your interest because he’s not just banging notes out to show off, he’s playing what’s exactly right in the moment. The sign of a great musician as a well as a player, two things in my opinion which can exist separately sometimes.

[@dratliff1321]

I met Johnny at a guitar clinic in Atlanta in September 2021, besides being one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, sitting a few feet from this guy for several hours holding your guitar was the most humbling experiences of my life. Yes he is that unbelievably great! A true virtuoso that has the ability to play anything he wants. It’s not a contest at who’s the greatest, but in my opinion he is the best player I’ve ever seen let alone learned from.

[@Peter-sk5vg]

Exciting

[@lucaselder4451]

As a drummer, as a guitarist, as a songwriter. Every version of me watches this with so much respect, and every time I watch it I audibly say “what the actual hell!!?”

[@rafaelmendez5758]

This is the sound of greatness! One of the greatest players to ever walk the earth!

[@alainraux5075]

The greatest !

[@pierreo2]

While acknowledging that Johnny Hiland is one of the guitar greats of his time, I have to give a big hats off to Bruce Guttridge on drums, an unsung hero sideman who has played with the very best and always held his own.

[@tomtaylor3207]

Doesn't get any better than this great American guitar player! He is the standard in my opinion!

[@Dd13200]

Hard to top that. Pick it son

[@Phil-w4u]

The man is just ridiculously good.

[@JasonCareyGuitar]

Holy frigg man! I'm crackin' a Moxie, eating a whoopee pie and listening to this! Does not get much better than this ;) The WAH was unexpected but gives you another angle to tame, and WHAMMY haha nice. Great band. Can't believe I'm only seeing this now.

[@bindig1]

Like Johnny himself has always said, make every note count. Perfection

[@chrisn.4136]

I saw Johnny in a tiny bar in Austin and he blew my mind. One of the top 3 best country guitarists I've ever seen!

[@sichuancowboy]

This has to be one of the greatest instrumental tracks ever recorded by a trio.

[@castorkat4868]

Amazing. guitar work

[@thiasborchert]

No Words for this amazing Song! Greetz from Germany!

[@philmccrevis4493]

Holy dawg! Awesome!

[@vyse75]

This is my favorite video of three guys jamming on the internet

[@scotchvelo]

An absolute stone cold guitar killer, this guy.

[@TruD0G]

HOW AM I JUST NOW FINDING THIS GUY?! HE COUNTRY SHREDS! LOVE IT!

[@miguelrebolledosamper7943]

My exact thought right now!!!

[@ChicagoBeaver]

I just discovered smokin Johnny Hiland recently and hot damn!!! Go Johnny Go!!! He burns up the fretboard so good with those awesome chops! Bass player and drummer are not too shabby either.

[@joeurbanowski321]

Ditto..!

[@LaymanDrugCompany]

TJ Armstrong is on Bass and the drummer's name is Bruce Guttridge is the drummer...absolutely kiler and great dudes just like Johnny.

[@user-wl7dt1uw2e]

Hiland kicks ass. We all know it. Too bad not enough people know about him. Thumbs up his vids, that might help!!

[@LaymanDrugCompany]

He's a legend.

[@schwagger1987]

I've first found Johnny during the old KZbin days. He's still one of my all time favorites.

[@nefertiblues5052]

I loveeeeeeeeee...........Are you still in Nashville and when can we come and see you? ????? It's so great...

[@PK-ct1bm]
