Yes, you got to hear that Mark Knoffler asked him to play in Dire Straits and that Chet called him and asked him to play this song. Yes, both your favorites mentioned in the beginning of both songs. 😊
Truly amazing the amount of people that don’t know his level of guitar play. The greats do though and that’s how you know he is among the greats. When you gets offers from the likes of Mark Knoffler, get praise from Chet Atkins, accept the offer with the Eagles, play in every (damn near if not) Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festivals, among others, you know you are truly elite class. Thinking about the crossroads festival thing, he headlines it, with other greats (whom you can tell Vince has a high level of respect for) play alongside him. He is one of the few that headlines when he plays there.
When a player of his calibre can play a clean clear tone where you hear virtually every note, you've got something special, and aside from having one of best voices in all of music, he proves again he is a master on his instrument!!!
Vince is a Norman, Oklahoma boy who was in the bluegrass band Mountain Smoke, at age 16, in the early 70’s. He may have turned down other opportunities to be one of the guys in the band, but instead became a star of his own out front. A long and great career, plus a guitar collection that makes his home place look like a guitar store. He’s done alright! His invitation and stint to stand in with the Eagles speaks to what the entire industry thinks of him.
I saw the title to this and thought, "they are going to love this". I remember seeing Vince at our State Fair back in the 90's and it was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. Great solos in all the songs and he is so funny. There is a song with both Vince and Brad - "Working Man Blues" and also almost an entire instrumental of Vince Gill, Keith Urban and Chris Stapleton doing an epic jam together.
I don't know how long i i have waited to see see Keith watch this but it has has been a while .I just out out of the hospital with two blood clots in my lungs and pneumonia in two lobs in my left left lung . sat down and and turned on you you tube tube and there he was. Knew he was gonna blow your mind
Great reaction. It’s wonderful to see Vince brought into the spotlight as the master musician/singer/songwriter that he’s been for decades. His debut album he speaks of Blew-Up! Solo artist Pure Prarie Legue Eagles (current member)
As an Okie, Vince is a State Treasure and one of the most well-respected musicians in music today. And if you didn't know, as a younger guy he sang "Amiee" for the Pure Prairie League.
Chet Atkins term for someone special on guitar was "Certified Guitar player". He only gave that name to 4 people. Chet was self taught. He took the fingerpicking style of Merle travis and added what was in his own head and hands. Chet was such a lover of Merle's playing, he actually named his daughter Merle. Jerry Reed was indeed one of the guys who got the certified name from Chet.
Love his duets with Reba, of course Reba with anyone you know. Vince plays A LOT of back ground guitar leads for a lot of stars. Ssooooo good.He plays a lot of award shows with the houseband.
One year the Kennedy Honors honored OG Merle Haggard. Vince and Brad Paisley played Merle's Working Man Blues. It's a very short performance but fun to see them together
Vince Gill is the most under rated guitarist ever. Vince gill sold milllions of solo records and is in the country music hall of fame. He replaced Don Felder in the eagles. Don Felder gave Tom Petty his 1st guitar lesson. CHeck out Vince Gill at Eric Claptons crossroads guitar festival. Vince was a guitar studio legend sang and played on hundreds of recordings.
I detest music video directors who take wide shots or focus on the house plants when a master is at work. Note: Vince's "correct" career move was for his solo career, not the more recent Eagles gig.
If you ever heard Pure Prairie League's "Aimee" that's Vince singing. Also Vince is an awesome guitar player, I have listened to him for years. He plays with the best of them.
I’m glad you finally got to this interview/song I found it by accident about a year ago. There is also a video/interview with Vince at his home with a group of aspiring music students. Keith you will be in aw of the guitar room
We saw Vince Gill live at the grand ole opry when we were on vacation to the US in august. It was amazing. He has a great sense of humor and he seemed like a humble and very kind guy. I loved your reaction and Keith nerding out about vinces amazing guitar skills was fantastic to watch. Plus Harry Potter is awesome! Bruised Plum had me laughing. The marketing stuff on that bottle was hilarious. Thanks for this reaction! Enjoyed it a lot.
I’m a lifelong resident of Oklahoma and I don’t care where I’ve been or how long I’ve been there, this song gets stuck in my head every time I drive back from out of state. I love the song but that’s literally the only time it crosses my mind, and it’s every time. It goes away after a mile or two across the border. Pavlovian to the max.
Well, you guys win. Probably my favorite YT video of the last 6-8 months. I dont see many from people who actually know and appreciate, what theyre reacting to. 🍻
Keith you mentioned Amie the other day by Pure Prairie League. Vince was the lead singer on Amie. He’s the best of the best. Also, earlier on y’all did Earl Scruggs and friends with Foggy Mountain Breakdown with Steve Martin, Marty Stuart, etc. Vince Gill is on electric in that performance too. And if you remember, y’all did Go Rest High with Patty Loveless. Vince started writing that about his brother he lost and then finished it after Keith Whitley died if I remember that right. In other words, he’s a great songwriter too. Great reaction guys. 🎶🎶
Vince was not the lead singer on the hit recording of Amie. He was not in the band at that time. He replaced the lead singer later and did sing the song in concert but not on the record.
Really loved this reaction! I always thought Vince never got enough recognition for his guitar skills, and seeing Keith geek out here was priceless. I've always loved the cool twangy sound of his lead guitar! As great of a guitar player he is, though, a lot of his big hits during his commercial peak in the 90s were sad, mournful ballads that really showcased his vocals. I somehow missed your reaction to "Go Rest High..." and I'll check it out soon. You also must hear his other signature ballad, "When I Call Your Name," plus others like "Pocket Full Of Gold," "Never Knew Lonely," "Look At Us," "No Future In The Past," "Trying To Get Over You," and "If You Ever Have Forever In Mind." My step dad was a Vince Gill fan too, and he also loved "When I Call Your Name," plus a couple of his more fun, lighthearted tunes like "Liza Jane" and "One More Last Chance," which are worth checking out too. On top of all his talents, Vince is also one of the most genuinely nice guys in Nashville and country music, so I can't help but always root for him, besides having loved his music all my life. :)
Vince is probably one of the most unheard of greats. Yeah tons of people know, but tons of people don’t l. He is a master of his craft. Guitar duel, listen to Cluster Pluck by Brad Paisley. Make sure it’s the video that show who is who playing. Yeah it’s a guitar lesson or a telecaster.
You have to check out Keith Urban, Chris Stapleton, and Vince Gill doing guitar solos to Keith’s son Blues not you color. This is a live performance at a bar/small venue.
I would love to have Roy Clark, Chet Atkins, Brad Paisley, Jerry Reed and Vince Gill in a cutting head as you call it! Have you ever listened to Tina s play! Moonlight sonata she has 44 million views! And she was 16 years when she did the video! Through the fire and flames she plays both guitar solos. 138 million views. The loner 7 million views. Her covers are all rock.
@@BourbonCountryReacts Here's a link to a live PPL performance of Amie with Vince as lead singer - ruclips.net/video/IEhyOIwAlZw/видео.htmlsi=BmZwgHIlWIzb2xBz
He also accompanied Carrie Underwood singing "How Great Thou Art," but you were likeky too blown away with Carrie to pay much attention to Vince Gills harmony and guitar solo
There's a video of Earl Scruggs and friends playing foggy mountain breakdown, and Vince is one of them, on electric guitar, Paul Schaffer on piano, Marty Stuart on mandolin, a fiddler, couple of acoustic guitars, a flat top, harmonica, and a few others, all taking turns playing. You should check it out.
Not too shabby for an Oklahoma boy!! But I have to disagree with you guys on his voice! He has the voice of an angel!! I could listen to him all day long!!
I knew you would love this. It’s the tone for me. His tone is unmistakable on that ‘53 Telecaster. For more music nerd shit: Vince used to play every Monday night with a band called the Time Jumpers. They do a killer version of “Six Pack to Go.” That bluegrasser can sang the blues like nobody’s business.
You can find a CMT special tribute to Vince gill online. It has a variety of other artists performing their favorite Vince G ill songs for him. including Brad Paisley Carrie Underwood and Chris Stapleton. Although my favorite moment is a story his daughter shared where he turned down his first opportunity to play on the Grand Old Opry stage because he had already promised he would watch her in the elementary school talent show. Great musician, better person. Also married to Amy Grant, so the musicality in the family is tremendous. Also, these are too long for your reaction videos, but check out the CMT crossroads series. Country artist collaborating with other artists singing each others' songs. There is one with Vince Gill and Sting. Or for Keith, Martina McBride and Pat Benatar.
There is a live performance on RUclips of Vince Gill, Albert Lea, and Danny Gatton in the song is called one-way rider and I’m telling you if you want to see guitar playing you know what Vince can do Albert and Danny are in the same league and it is stunning.
YES SIR!! And the three of them on Liza Jane is outstanding! Vince solos then Danny solos then Albert solos then the last verse and they do it again! 🤯🤯🤯 And we mustn’t forget the songs with the late great John Hughey on pedal steel and the fantastic Mark O’Connor on fiddle! 🧨 🧨
@@roncypert8255 definitely. The whole show is worthwhile. I just had to fall back on one-way rider because it was the first one that I saw and I know that it does have a lot of that really cool interplay between the three players. Scary thing is Vince is terrifying. Albert is actually my favourite player of the three but I think Danny might’ve been the better. He was so good it’s unbelievable. and although I’m sure all three of them can do it I know for a fact Albert is capable of that machine gun shredding that they were talking about with Brad Paisley because he’s been doing a Ricky Skaggs country boy for a long time on electric guitar. That’s worth a watch too.
And Keith says "He can sing... about as well as every bluegrass player I've ever heard" lol. This he says about a man that was awarded by the Country Music Association the Best Male Vocalist of the Year five times and the coveted Entertainer of the Year, the highest award in Country Music, twice. Not to mention the 22 Grammy awards and the 40 or so charting single and 26 million records sold. So its beyond safe to say he can sing. Not even the great Bill Monroe or any other Bluegrass player has his kind of success. He has also recorded some of the saddest songs in Country music, and that's saying a lot right. I think that his song 'Nobody Answers When I Call Your Name' with his haunting vocals just might be the saddest Country song ever recorded. As far as guitarists go there are and always have been more skilled ones in Country music than any other genre including Rock n Roll. Artists such as Glenn Cambell, Jerry Reed, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Roy Clark, Leroy Parnel, and even Dolly Parton just to name a few. Country Music IS guitars. You can take every instrument away but the guitar and your song, three chords and the truth, that's all. Oliver Anthony's recent success is proof of that.
I should have phrased it, that his vocal performance *in this song* is about as any good bluegrass player. Another viewer reminded us that we also reacted to "Go Rest High on that Mountain," which was astonishing. - Keith
Recommend "Reckless" by Mark O'Conner and the new Nashville cats. The "cats" being Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, and Steve Wariner. All VERY accomplished guitar players.
Vince Gill absolutely made the right decision turning down joining Dire Straits. After that his solo career took off with the release of When I Call Your Name and he accomplished much more as a singer who is a good guitar player than he could just being a guitar player in a band. It's not like he's never gotten some pretty good guitar gigs either. Eric Clapton invited Vince to come play at his Crossroads guitar festivals and play with some of the best of the best and now his stint as part of The Eagles touring band. Plus he's won 20+ Grammy awards for his singing, songwriting and playing. If Vince had given up on his solo career, we might never have gotten some really good songs like When I Call Your Name, I Still Believe in You and Go Rest High on That Mountain. Plus all the songs he's done with Reba and Patty Loveless and countless others. Or all those appearances on The Grand Ole Opry. He has contributed much more to country music and music in general by sticking with his decision to give his solo career 'one more last chance'. Also, there are a couple performances out there on YT where Vince kind of does play some blues guitar. I have no clue if they were any good or not, but it's always good to see him try something different.
Maybe I'm just not in the Guitar world, but I feel like I don't hear Vince Gill's name brought very often when people talk about Great High Level Guitarists. I wonder if that is his preference. I mean he is definitely a Great, High Level Guitar Player. To get endorsements from the likes of Mark Knopfler and Chet Atkins says something about his level of proficiency with the instrument. But I wonder if he was more focused on his song writing and the lyrical impact, that he wasn't as interested in including mind melting guitar solos that might distract from the rest of the song. It could also have to do with the timeframe and style of music he was apart of. His era of Country seems to focus more on the storylines and lyrics of a song than they are the instrumentation. I mean country will always have great guitar players like Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Brad Paisley, etc. But it seems to me like mainstream country steered away from focusing on the guitar player and more towards the story teller. It seems obvious to me that Vince Gill really cared about the whole of his music, not just the guitar parts seeings how he turned down Mark Knopfler to play with Dire Straits. Could be he's the unicorn amongst guitarists, and doesn't have an ego bigger than texas about his guitar playing and was more interested in making songs for country radio. I don't really know, I'm just make observations from what I know about Vince Gill, mainstream country music, Guitarists, and bits and pieces of information I pick up here and there.
He's definitely among the greats, based on this performance. The guy can play. Period. As for the theories on why he's not top of mind when you think of amazing players, your theories on that seem as plausible as any. - Keith
As an Okie, I've met Vince Gill a few times, my Great Aunt and his momma were friends. I was also in some music showcases back in school and Vince did a LOT of supporting music programs back in those days. Hell he still does. However, he's one of the sweetest, kindest and most humble people you'd ever meet. He was always gracious and kind and smiling. Always called said "yes ma'am" and "no ma'am" to my aunt, no matter how famous he became. Sent flowers to the funeral, too. He's honestly really, REALLY nice.
Vince’s live performances are full of stories and humor. He is Amazing! Keith, did it register to you…his picking (if not watching live) you could think it’s a steel guitar?
I would have known it wasn't a steel guitar. But I may have been fooled into thinking it was a Les Paul instead of a Fender. Vince set up his tone on that performance to sound very Les Paul - esque. - Keith
How did you forget your reaction to Go Rest High on that Mountain with Ricky Skaggs & Allison Kraus. One of the best voices, song writer, & musicians in country music.
brad is great cant hold a candle to vince grand old opry during covid no audience brad and vince on stag brad was out classed love you guys keep up the strong work

YES SIR!! And the three of them on Liza Jane is outstanding! Vince solos then Danny solos then Albert solos then the last verse and they do it again! 🤯🤯🤯
And we mustn’t forget the songs with the late great John Hughey on pedal steel and the fantastic Mark O’Connor on fiddle! 🧨 🧨
@@roncypert8255 definitely. The whole show is worthwhile. I just had to fall back on one-way rider because it was the first one that I saw and I know that it does have a lot of that really cool interplay between the three players. Scary thing is Vince is terrifying. Albert is actually my favourite player of the three but I think Danny might’ve been the better. He was so good it’s unbelievable. and although I’m sure all three of them can do it I know for a fact Albert is capable of that machine gun shredding that they were talking about with Brad Paisley because he’s been doing a Ricky Skaggs country boy for a long time on electric guitar. That’s worth a watch too.
Liza Jane - Vince Gill (w/ The Players)
Great guitar playing on this one!
Him and Ricky Skaggs used to play on the Grand ok opry and wow amazing talent!
And Keith says "He can sing... about as well as every bluegrass player I've ever heard" lol. This he says about a man that was awarded by the Country Music Association the Best Male Vocalist of the Year five times and the coveted Entertainer of the Year, the highest award in Country Music, twice. Not to mention the 22 Grammy awards and the 40 or so charting single and 26 million records sold. So its beyond safe to say he can sing. Not even the great Bill Monroe or any other Bluegrass player has his kind of success. He has also recorded some of the saddest songs in Country music, and that's saying a lot right. I think that his song 'Nobody Answers When I Call Your Name' with his haunting vocals just might be the saddest Country song ever recorded. As far as guitarists go there are and always have been more skilled ones in Country music than any other genre including Rock n Roll. Artists such as Glenn Cambell, Jerry Reed, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Roy Clark, Leroy Parnel, and even Dolly Parton just to name a few. Country Music IS guitars. You can take every instrument away but the guitar and your song, three chords and the truth, that's all. Oliver Anthony's recent success is proof of that.
I should have phrased it, that his vocal performance *in this song* is about as any good bluegrass player. Another viewer reminded us that we also reacted to "Go Rest High on that Mountain," which was astonishing. - Keith
That comment did ring a little sour, but remember - these guys don't know the "country" genre.
He also played with Pure Prairie League.
You should do his song One More Last Chance
To do a solo that long is crazy
Vince was in Pure Prairie League back in the day.
Recommend "Reckless" by Mark O'Conner and the new Nashville cats. The "cats" being Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, and Steve Wariner. All VERY accomplished guitar players.
Vince Gill absolutely made the right decision turning down joining Dire Straits. After that his solo career took off with the release of When I Call Your Name and he accomplished much more as a singer who is a good guitar player than he could just being a guitar player in a band. It's not like he's never gotten some pretty good guitar gigs either. Eric Clapton invited Vince to come play at his Crossroads guitar festivals and play with some of the best of the best and now his stint as part of The Eagles touring band. Plus he's won 20+ Grammy awards for his singing, songwriting and playing. If Vince had given up on his solo career, we might never have gotten some really good songs like When I Call Your Name, I Still Believe in You and Go Rest High on That Mountain. Plus all the songs he's done with Reba and Patty Loveless and countless others. Or all those appearances on The Grand Ole Opry. He has contributed much more to country music and music in general by sticking with his decision to give his solo career 'one more last chance'. Also, there are a couple performances out there on YT where Vince kind of does play some blues guitar. I have no clue if they were any good or not, but it's always good to see him try something different.
I thing you'll enjoy watching Keith Urban shreads with Marty Stuart. Marty playes the mandolin and Kieth acoustic guitar. Excellent finger picking
Hybrid picking or "chicken pickin'" Vince is a beast Telecaster picker. Remember, Vince Gill cut his teeth as a bluegrass banjo player.
The man has a damn good right hand, which is a hallmark of Banjo players. - Keith.
Fantastic reaction guys I really loved what can you to nerd out on the solo for Oklahoma borderline. Remember then screw up do it bluegrass.
Maybe I'm just not in the Guitar world, but I feel like I don't hear Vince Gill's name brought very often when people talk about Great High Level Guitarists. I wonder if that is his preference. I mean he is definitely a Great, High Level Guitar Player. To get endorsements from the likes of Mark Knopfler and Chet Atkins says something about his level of proficiency with the instrument. But I wonder if he was more focused on his song writing and the lyrical impact, that he wasn't as interested in including mind melting guitar solos that might distract from the rest of the song. It could also have to do with the timeframe and style of music he was apart of. His era of Country seems to focus more on the storylines and lyrics of a song than they are the instrumentation. I mean country will always have great guitar players like Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Brad Paisley, etc. But it seems to me like mainstream country steered away from focusing on the guitar player and more towards the story teller. It seems obvious to me that Vince Gill really cared about the whole of his music, not just the guitar parts seeings how he turned down Mark Knopfler to play with Dire Straits. Could be he's the unicorn amongst guitarists, and doesn't have an ego bigger than texas about his guitar playing and was more interested in making songs for country radio.
I don't really know, I'm just make observations from what I know about Vince Gill, mainstream country music, Guitarists, and bits and pieces of information I pick up here and there.
He's definitely among the greats, based on this performance. The guy can play. Period. As for the theories on why he's not top of mind when you think of amazing players, your theories on that seem as plausible as any. - Keith
As an Okie, I've met Vince Gill a few times, my Great Aunt and his momma were friends. I was also in some music showcases back in school and Vince did a LOT of supporting music programs back in those days. Hell he still does. However, he's one of the sweetest, kindest and most humble people you'd ever meet. He was always gracious and kind and smiling. Always called said "yes ma'am" and "no ma'am" to my aunt, no matter how famous he became. Sent flowers to the funeral, too. He's honestly really, REALLY nice.
Ou know he's been out with the Eagles & he plays with the Timejumpers every Monday at 3rd and Lindsey in Nashville
Vince’s live performances are full of stories and humor. He is Amazing!
Keith, did it register to you…his picking (if not watching live) you could think it’s a steel guitar?
I would have known it wasn't a steel guitar. But I may have been fooled into thinking it was a Les Paul instead of a Fender. Vince set up his tone on that performance to sound very Les Paul - esque. - Keith
How did you forget your reaction to Go Rest High on that Mountain with Ricky Skaggs & Allison Kraus. One of the best voices, song writer, & musicians in country music.
Not sure how we forgot it, but you guys have definitely reminded us. That performance froze us in our tracks. - Keith

Jerry reed and bb king in the sack song
I can’t find the original version right now, but you need to check out his live one when he’s rockin’ the jorts and dad sneakers…and still tearing it up with Jerry Douglas. Here’s a reaction video to it, but it doesn’t link to the original. ruclips.net/video/BPFtkWoK24c/видео.html
I have seen him play that live! AMAZING!!!!!!
Jealous. - Keith
There a video of Vince, Keith urban, Chris Stapleton playing together on stage.
You all need to bend the rules and do a reaction to Game of Thrones theme song with metal heads and…Brad Paisley.
It’s not Country but it was one of the coolest things to watch especially for guitar geeks.
Even if you don’t watch it with us but for really real please please do Kieth…you HAVE to watch that video.
Ok I got the deets…Fender Custom Store put it on as an event.
Watch as creator Dan Weiss, Tom Morello, Scott Ian, Nuno Bettencourt of Extreme, Brad Paisley and GOT composer Ramon Djawadi shred on the all new Sigil Collection of. Guitars from the Fender Custom shop.

Oh, I've definitely watched that multiple times. - Keith
You gentlemen need to check out The Ride by david Allen Coe!
On cutting heads: There’s a video on here of Vince and Keith Urban and Chris Stapleton jamming like that.
Probably won't go watch it, given there's a chance it could get bribed or voted onto the channel. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReactsMan, I know you really want to give us first time reactions, but occasionally with videos like that, I think you should think about yourself and the enjoyment it will bring you! I'd vote you go find it and enjoy it. There is SO much astounding country music that you couldn't possibly do a video for every song, so occasionally break the rules! Go on enjoy yourself! Nerd Out like a Southern watching NASCAR!
Bruised plum 😂🤣😂🤣😂 did they give it a black eye before picking it 😂🤣😂. And you better make sure you polished that oak knob very good, give it a good schalacking 😂😂😂
All of that is Dustin's responsibility. All of it. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts 😂🤣😂🤣
If you want to see something real crazy watch Brad paisley play time warp
Added to the list. -Dustin
You gotta check out Cluster Pluck by Brad Paisley if you’re looking for a guitar duel
Do some frickin SRV please
Did you get that bourbon from that bottle
Vince is a master guitarist but I believe good is good, bluegrass, Metal, whatever, there should NEVER be any Genres in music.
Guys, guys, -don't screw around like that! People don't click into a reaction video to watch you rambling on about other stuff. Get right to the item you're reacting to. And if you need to do a quick intro to that item, -fine!
