Born in Maine, blind, very overweight. Just shows you that a powerful will and commitment trump all other factors, even when it looks like everything's against you. Johnny is probably the very best at what he does alive on the planet today.
When you watch him play it seems impossible like the guitar has a direct connection to his bread. He thinks if a tune and his hands do the rest. He’s unreal.
Why am I drinking my coffee so fast? Johnny Hiland and Mike Barrow, two awesome guitar players, I love the chokes and double stops and that rhythm section: tighter than a crabs ass.

My brother was a MONSTER and these guys can play so fast&effortless its mechanical,in NO WAY am I putting them down for their great talent!... but it becomes repititious.My brother probably like Johnnie,Brent Mason made other players jealous&mad..my brother passed away@ 40, Rip little brother.
Just "discovered" Mr. Hiland. Hot damn that boy can play that gee tar. I hear chicken pickin' is only one of the genres he has mastered. This is going to be fun!
Somewhere Danny Gatton is smiling. People down below have IDed the other picker as Nashville's Mike Durham. He acquits himself well. But can you imagine being the "other lead guitarist" onstage with Johnny? Or Danny before he died?
Johnny is very accurate and blazing fast without being boring like so many rock shredders today question is why isnt johnny more famous? It's obvious he is in a class all by himself what's with these guys from Texas? It seems like there born with a guitar in there hands! I love their gritty bluesy sound like srv had jr brown is from Texas also and is fantastic very clean very fast great tone tele player and steel guitar
Both guys here are fantastic johnny has that Danny Gatton sound here who is this guy playing the blond tele? Hes just as good as johnny good old Texas guitar gunslinger like srv which would be a great match up srv vs johnny whoa that would be epic
I think the other guy on guitar is Mike Durham, not Mike Barrow. I used to work in Nashville and he would sit in on guitar once in a while. www.allmusic.com/artist/mike-durham-mn0000391358
I think both guitars are set for a different tone, look at the amps. Listen and you can hear Johnny has more of a brighter tone, and the Tele sounds a bit warmer to my ears. That way the guitars both cut through the mix in there own way, intermingling I think. That is my take on it and it sounds great.
He has not a played a Tele in a while. And basically you can get the single coil pickup sound from Tele Strat or any guitar with a single coil pick up I have a Tele and a Strat and can get that sound from my Strat. It also matters where you pick on the guitar if you pick closer to the bridge you get the more twangy sound. Not saying you do not know that already just making a point for those who don't know how to get the sound.
The guy on the right is an amazing guitarist. It's like it can't get any better. ...And then Johnny starts playing and that dude pawned his guitar and bought a triangle.
Damn thats on fantastic peace of music. Great Musicians! But Durhams Tele-Sound is sooo much better than that Effects-overloaded Mickey Music Man Sound of Johnny.....

What about the drummer. Hot damn! What a tight rythm.
He Looks a Little Bit like Vinnie.....👍🏻
It almost looks like the drummer is trying to keep up with Johnny. The guy plays like a metronome.
What can I say they are all fantastic ☺️👍
All serious MF'ers
I met Hiland years ago at a guitar show. Nice man. His guitar picking is nothing short of miraculous . He is a real
Wizard.
Why am I drinking my coffee so fast? Johnny Hiland and Mike Barrow, two awesome guitar players, I love the chokes and double stops and that rhythm section: tighter than a crabs ass.
Still the most underrated guitar player in the world. Love Johnny so much.
he's pretty well respected in guitar circles playing with such people as Joe Satriani and Steve Vai . also some big name country talents .
I just discovered the guy in 2019. I'm all Johnny vids right now. Can't get enough!!
Me toooooo!!!
i absolutely agree.........simply brilliant...the both of them....
I don't believe he is underrated
Johnny hiland is one of the best and most sought after. Country. Studio. Session players
Not all great players. Seek fame

All these musicians are impressive. Johnny is an absolute master. That solo at 2:20 is really something.
Props to Mike Barrow! I'd be terrified to have to follow THAT.
I met Johnny at The B3 guitar show in Philly. The most humble guy and yet scary to hear him play.
God Bless him.
How have I gone so long without hearing this guy?
I could listen to Johnny all day long. Mike is a great player too!!!
That tele sounds beautifull to my ears, but Hilands playing is fabulous.
He's the most versatile guitar player I've ever heard in my life. And I'm 62!!!
This gentleman’s ability to play so effortlessly is amazing and admirable.
Love it.👍💪
Flat out amazing
Reminds me of Albert Lee..Great players
Johnny is a national treasure. Mike is another outstanding picker too. But Johnny man, he's something else.
inhuman speed, accuracy, phrasing, touch, creativity, you name it, Johnny's got it. It's just insane!
Country shredding at its best!
One of the best. If not the best picker out there!!
My brother was a MONSTER and these guys can play so fast&effortless its mechanical,in NO WAY am I putting them down for their great talent!... but it becomes repititious.My brother probably like Johnnie,Brent Mason made other players jealous&mad..my brother passed away@ 40, Rip little brother.
cracking four peice...excellent......listening from the UK!!! hello Dallas!
Extremely versatile I wished I could do what he does on the guitar he's amazing
I'd settle for being about to do a tenth of what he does
As he said at the end, that felt good!
Outstanding playing, great band. The "other guy" is Mike Durham, another real good Nashville guy.
The 'other guy' - no slouch!
He’s real good. Poor bugger trying to play at Jinny’s tempo though 🤣 Wouldn’t fancy that.
Bruutal! that's why Hiland is one of my favs!
Drummer is another level. much like johnny
Just "discovered" Mr. Hiland. Hot damn that boy can play that gee tar. I hear chicken pickin' is only one of the genres he has mastered. This is going to be fun!
not since jeff healey passed may he be resting in peace johnnny hiland ist comfort
Johnny Hiland, the coolest thing to come out of Maine since Clarence White.
awesome drummer
I was there and that was some incredible stuff to see live! Johnny is a chicken pickin master!
I wish i could see a live like this. In Europe we have no chance. I wish Johnny come to my country.
Барабанщик кайфует!!А Джони как всегда крут!!!👍
Love these guys!
Johnny hiland , i discovered you today and i already love you so much !!!
Go Johnny Go!!!!
Johnny’s a national treasure.
the bass player is having the time of his life...he gets to see these guys uo front...and gets to play
Somewhere Danny Gatton is smiling. People down below have IDed the other picker as Nashville's Mike Durham. He acquits himself well. But can you imagine being the "other lead guitarist" onstage with Johnny? Or Danny before he died?
Bob Laughlin Still I can't believe it , in Danny Gatton death ,,, BTW ,Johnny is great guitar player also !!!
Wow who knew Johnny could sing. Impressive
JH always throws it down!! Tight band all around here.
Sir, I’ll have more of that, if you please
Great picking by both guitarists! Thanks for posting.
Excellent band! -Poland drummer country.
Excellent 👍🎶 Ma version préférée de That Alright mama! 😎
Johnny is very accurate and blazing fast without being boring like so many rock shredders today question is why isnt johnny more famous? It's obvious he is in a class all by himself what's with these guys from Texas? It seems like there born with a guitar in there hands! I love their gritty bluesy sound like srv had jr brown is from Texas also and is fantastic very clean very fast great tone tele player and steel guitar
He’s actually not from Texas!
Clayton Gillaspy Johnny is a maniac! He's from the great state of Maine! Yessaaaaaaaa!
Except Johnny is from Maine, and Junior Brown is from Indiana. I agree with you about the awesome tone though!
You're crazy..Very very good thanks ..
Johnny Hiland and Redd Volkeart may be the best tele players around these days. mos60
Absolutely amazing
Yup ,the tele at 4.15 to 4.25 is in a league beyond the EBMM ......even Hiland can't get the the MM to sound like that tele
I think Music Man guitars are UGLY and do NOT have the tone Fender has,Strat or Tele.Albert lee can't make one have the tone either!.
BRAVO!
Ashamed I missed this in Dallas
Anybody that doesn’t know of him should look up more of his stuff.
Way to B-bend without the bender!!!! GGGOOOOO Johnny!!!!!
Them ol' boys are having a lot,,,,,of FUN !!!! Oh Yeah!!!
just wow!!
Both guys here are fantastic johnny has that Danny Gatton sound here who is this guy playing the blond tele? Hes just as good as johnny good old Texas guitar gunslinger like srv which would be a great match up srv vs johnny whoa that would be epic
Wow what a great guitar player
The other guitar man, deserved his name in the title.
Is no, not yet, is, not this time !!!
How would you like to be that poor bloke who has to follow Johnny. On any other stage he'd be the man.
MR. Durahm
Yeah baby! Go on and pick it one time for me
Heavy metal anyone? They could never play and feel good like these guys do! This is music. The other... is to make you sick!
JH......Legend !!
Absolutely awsome chickin pickin. Keep it up Dude. Floyd Watson.
magic
what a take....wow!!!!
Jonny can play but man that blonde tele tone murders that ernie ball
It sounds like he's playing it clean too, which is all more the impressive.
Bravo jonnnnnnyyy
AC/DC all the way. Who's with me? Flick of the Switch.
Holllly mother !
Awesomeness
Hi Super wykonanie:):)
That boy bends them strings so far he knocked his eyes out the sockets...
buena musica saludos desde el jardin del eden
i guess that's what you called making "drum faces" - NICE!!!
I think the other guy on guitar is Mike Durham, not Mike Barrow. I used to work in Nashville and he would sit in on guitar once in a while.
www.allmusic.com/artist/mike-durham-mn0000391358
Legend!!
Jonny was killing it. who's the guitar player with the tele he was killing it too.
And hats off to mike barrow the 2nd guitarist
He's no slouch either!
Sooper awesome
The Best no more no less😎🎶
Fuck.!!! That was SMOKIN'..!! I WISH I could play like that.😶
I didn't know he could sing like that.😎
This is so fucking brilliant!
the telecaster sounds better, what a tone
I think both guitars are set for a different tone, look at the amps. Listen and you can hear Johnny has more of a brighter tone, and the Tele sounds a bit warmer to my ears. That way the guitars both cut through the mix in there own way, intermingling I think. That is my take on it and it sounds great.
Yes, like That 👍 > ruclips.net/video/WcKGIf5F-lI/видео.html
So F***ing good!
I'm old enough to remember when I used to think I was a good guitar player....
Fender telecaster best Guitar in the world.
I hate the telecaster ... shit sound ...
DUDE I'LL BE DEAD DEAD IN A COUPLE MORE YEARS IF HE DON'T LAY OFF THEM BIG MAC'S !
I wonder why Johnny doesn't play a Tele? Great playing, as ever! He does not use his little finger on the left hand, except for chords.(7#9)
He played telecasters a long time
Thanks Solid. Will check out some videos!
He has not a played a Tele in a while. And basically you can get the single coil pickup sound from Tele Strat or any guitar with a single coil pick up I have a Tele and a Strat and can get that sound from my Strat. It also matters where you pick on the guitar if you pick closer to the bridge you get the more twangy sound. Not saying you do not know that already just making a point for those who don't know how to get the sound.
Thanks Craig. I do have a Strat and a Tele, and I do get are more twangy sound from the Tele.
He talks about his new and old guitars here ruclips.net/video/qjpmWVs5T-8/видео.html
Johnny looks like he could be Red Volkaert's son or younger brother. Do they ever play together?
HOLY SHIT !!!!!!
awesomeness
The guy on the right is an amazing guitarist. It's like it can't get any better.
...And then Johnny starts playing and that dude pawned his guitar and bought a triangle.
Who is the guy playin the butterscotch tele? He is a total bad a%$!!!
Note to crowd, nobody died !
Johnny can sure pick a guitar!
Jonny is awesome but someone needs to help him so he can live a long time.
Que pancada de som 🤪👏👏👏👏👏
Does he plug his pick manufacturer or maybe his cowboy hat supplier? 😂
dude with the blond tele plays excellent. i'd completely ch1t myself if i had to follow johnny.
Damn thats on fantastic peace of music. Great Musicians! But Durhams Tele-Sound is sooo much better than that Effects-overloaded Mickey Music Man Sound of Johnny.....
