    Vince Gill has always been adored by us guitarists for his superb skills, fluid changes, his musicality in general, fine lyrics, his kindness and generosity. He's right up there with Chet and Roy.

      Vince Gill is truly amazing with his up-tempo country picking, but he is equally impressive with his slower tunes -- Look at Us, Go Rest High, and the unbelievable live duet with Carrie Underwood on How Great Thou Art, for examples. I wish I had the ability to be only one hundredth as expressive as Vince is in his playing! And you're right -- he shames most rock players, myself included!

    Vince is an excellent picker. I had the pleasure of listening to him speak to some journalists about his playing; 30 years ago. I remember him telling them, that you must always have the appropriate guitar for the gig. Every hall is different and so are guitars. He also said, never out play the band; when it your turn, step-up and let it go. Then step back and let band do what they do.

Vince walked in pretty totaled (He'd been drinking a bit after the funeral)...They invited him to sit in for a song...He busted loose an equally amazing solo on a big Martin D-45...off the cuff and drunk as ya like...I was a doubter before that night...but he really is among the best players in the world...He just never misses a lick.

      Miss Mellie has just right! Vince is an incredible guitar and mandoline player and then he starts singing! I love to see him bring out that old yellow Strat. It looks like he dragged it to the gig behind his pickup but he can sure get that thing to sing!! It's one of the survivors from his guitar collection and made it through the Nashville flood a few years ago. He lost many fine instruments to the flood that came through his and Amy's home. He's ALWAYS worth sitting down for a listen...

Takes so much precision. There's no distortion to hide behind with flubbed notes. You have to be SPOT ON PERFECT.

      Robert Horn I was thinking about that while watching. I remember seeing him in the 2004 crossroads lineup and thinking “hmm”. Then I listened to his set and I had no idea he could burn like that! Really a skilled technical player. Perfect note placement

    I see someone else brought up the fact that he was asked to play for Dire Straits. I've seen Vinny a few times. One concert he started out by announcing that he had just heard some hours before that his hero Chet Atkins had passed that day. He asked us to hang in there with him because he was still so struck by the news. The only time he wavered was at the end when he sang "Go Rest High On That Mountain. His wife Amy Grant came out & helped him get through it. That was a concert I will never forget & Vinny played incredibly that day as he mourned his hero, Chet. I am new to your channel & have loved your Stevie Ray Vaughan videos. My favorite guitar player for sure. Really enjoying your explanations!! 👍👌😊

      I've told him to write a book. He says attorneys could not protect him from the lawsuits if he told all he's seen on road in 80s thru early 2000s.

    Vince is one of those rare combos of amazing vocalist and amazing guiratists. He just came off this tour with the Eagles. I heard him sing "Take it to the Limit" and he hit the high notes Randy Meisner used to hate to sing live perfectly. His solo had a lot of pedal steel licks in it where you push the 2nd up to the 3rd and passing 4th sus as you move between chord changes. He does them soo quickly and smoothly it really separates the men from the boys. My father-in-law used to have a little country band that I would sit in with when he was in the area. One of the many instruments he played was the fiddle. He was getting ready to play a Bob Wills tune and a woman came up and said, "Oh you play the violin also?" He said, "No, this is a fiddle. In country music we call them fiddles." "What's the difference?" she asked. "If you play the violin you carry it around in a case." he said. "If you play the fiddle you carry it aroud in a flour sack."

      Marshall - so right. Vince Gill has been a go-to replacement singer for bands pretty much all his life, meaning his was sought after for that gorgeous tenor. He replaced the original singer of Pure Pairie League and got them back on the charts and has subbed for other bands in need. He's just THAT good. What I love about him the most is is amazing gift as a harmony singer and the way he can change his phrasing to match the lead singer the way say, John Starling can do. If you want to hear him truly shine, listen to him sing "Dark as a Dungeon" with The Chieftains on one of their early Country-Irish fusion CDs. You'd swear that this Merle Travis song was a traditional Irish melody. he also sang Bard of Armagh/Streets of Laredo (same tune) with the Chieftains on the CD soundtrack of the Long Journey Home. I almost wish Vince Gill would use that jeweled Irish tenor of his on an ENTIRE CD with the Chieftains. Of course, his guitar playing is whiz-bang brilliant. So many techniques!

Unbelievable renditions of Buck Owens and Merle Haggard songs. The guy just gets better with age. By the way, it's high time you do a review on Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives.
