I am an old-school Rock guitarist. I got my chop's studying Ritchie Blackmore ,Eddie Van Halen .. Jimmy Page...etc. ... never a fan of country although I did like some rockabilly... I have to say I get so much pleasure and excitement watching Johnny Hiland Jam. he is just as talented and intuitive as any guitar player I have ever admired. He has inspired me to step outside of my box and try something different. I fail miserably most of the time but the journey certainly is fun
I’m a blues rock player myself, and I like to do that too. Ive been playing a with a country guy and trying to find more ways to incorporate the two styles together has been fun and a learning experience for sure.
Ditto - Johnnys "Ten Gallon Hat Guitar" is the only instructional course I've ever bought. I'm a professional in my own regard, but Johnny, just like you said, encouraged me to get outside of my box, and myself. Takes a real helluva guy to do that for other guitar players.
The US have so many truly incredible players. You can feel it's a deep rooted culture of country and blues-rock! Johnny Hiland is such a monster player, I don't know if people understand how hard it is to play like that with such ease... anyway all the musicians here are top of the game! Greetings from France!
Johnny is off the scale. The kind of playing you can only hope to get when you starting playing at 2, have endless drive for it and are probably blessed by whatever higher power there is regardless !!
Not just great pickin but shows Johnny’s respectful character as well. He wanted to leash hell on them strings but he kept his cool and respectful of the other players. Johnny is best
Fastguitars Johnny is a great picker but Brent was the best...not by much..lol. Don't forget Brent can also play anything Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed have ever put out..that's why he's one of the few tele players that pick with a thumb pick.

This is brilliant. I especially like Brent Mason's smile every time Johnny cuts a solo - like he recognises a fellow genius at work. Absolutely stellar playing from the whole band - I wish I had been there to see this.
I've played guitar for over 40 yrs. I love rock and blues , but have always thought this type of playing takes more talent and taste than any other style.
jeroen R me too. I watch this every once in awhile and it always blows me away and brings a smile to my face. This is just one of those special clips that makes me glad that we live in an age where people can record something like this and show it to others on RUclips to share that experience.
Thom I had a real bad day and you just turned it around! Nice video! To Brent and Johnny and everyone else ...A Huge Thank You for a great show!! Respect
I don't know who could have thumbed down this vid. Obviously people who can't play. Thanks for the post! This was incredible! Absolutely jaw dropping incredible!
I would NOT hit the down thumb for this performance but I would not buy the record. I try to play guitar but if I practice for 137 years every day, there is not even a slim chance that I would share a stage with these guys. They're virtuoso's of course. But their rapid fire style of playing is a huge quantity of racket. They're practically shredding through their songs. More racket than music. That said, if I had the ability to play a guitar like them, I'd do so with a heart full of thanks for the gift I was born with. But I would look into making less racket and more music.
I've been playing rock guitar for about 32 years and I'd put myself at a level these guys were after about 6weeks of playing. This stuff is truly mind blowing to listen to these guys. The precision and clarity is unreal.
3 years later and this is still my favorite working man to listen to. You have some of the best pickers in the game sharing a stage. It's a beautiful moment and I'm thankful it was captured on video.
@@levondarratt787 Brent Mason was born July 13, 1959. He is 62 years old right now, here in Nov 2021. He was in his 30's when he was making KILLER country music in the 90's.
+James Taylor - I'm all over the map with my interests in styles (master of none) but if I was given a chance to pick only one that I could be that good at this stuff is were I'd be.
Use to catch Brent in the 80s at the Stagecoach Inn Murfreesboro Rd. In Nashville. They played 7 nights a week. He's such a legend...and that Johnny guy...wow!!
Wow! Did you see Brent go behind the nut and give that harmonic note some vibrato at 2:56?!? That was perfection buddy! I'm always too afraid if I do that my guitar will go out of tune for the rest of the song. I guess I could do a bend on that string, immediately after the trick, to pull it back into pitch?
I had my mind blown about 10 years ago at the NAMM show when I was picking up strings and Johnny Hiland was just sitting and chilling and playing Godly music while people came and went. Oh don’t get me wrong, there were folks actively listening and responding. But it was so effortless. I’ll never forget that. What can you say that hasn’t been said about Brent. And he deserves every good word he gets. A true guitar hero and a gent to boot.
Steve Piticco I sure would LOVE to see you right there with them Steve. Us Americans don't get to see enough of your great playing, you're definitely a full fledged member of the elites.
Steve Piticco - Hi Steve, it’s Réal. I agree, you’re in these gentlemen’s league absolutely- man that was some crazy tele- shred axe-travaganza wasn’t it!!🎸😎😜
That's about right. VERY good, but not something to write home about. How many came back to watch it again? Not me. People can be TOO enthusiastic about music in comments. Anyone else not get it about the non-stop "Billy Strings" bombardment on the internet? Not impressed with the tattoos that need to be shown all the time, every shirt is selected to say, "By the way? Have you seen my unique tattoos lately? I'm SO cool! I'd prefer to listen to every single artist featured on Bresh digital TV before listening to the kids try to sound 50 years older. Even Molly Tuttle, who is SUCH a burner doesn't have the soul that I love with the older, fatter, less pretty to look at players. How approachable can the "good bye girls" be, anyway? I thought you were supposed to say "Hello"?
@@darrendix5163 You seem to be trying to compare apples to oranges. Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle are great at their craft and shouldn't be compared to electric chicken pickin' players like these.

I can't out-pick any of them so I just enjoy all of it. Tommy Emmanuel digs Billy Strings so I'll go with his opinion. Just sayin'
Perhaps not exactly an 'average' night, but Nashville is certainly an amazing place to hear day and night, top notch music in a huge number of walk-in venues. Probably no other town quite like it.
Every once in awhile, as I'm trudging through RUclips videos, I am blessed enough to stumble into something as brilliant as this. Thanks for posting, Made my weekend!
johnnys sound is a little subdued compared to brent and the other guitarist because he is humble person, not trying to steal the spotlight, he knows its brents gig. they are all great pickers!
I think you're right on that. He was being the unobtrusive guest until Brent Mason started to prod him and coaxed a little grin out of him, and then it was away to the races.
Great stuff. But hey we're missing the tele God "Redd Volkaert" still the best tele guy around. But yeah Brent /Hyland doing some heavy lifting here. mos60
Since I played in the clubs downtown I've seen all these guys including Redd in that setting..most all of them passed through the Don Kelley Band portal at Robert's Western...all amazing...that being said...my favorite tele picker in town has always been Vince Gill...he has ridiculous tone and spacing when he plays. Sings "ok" too :-)
yeah for sure. But it is interesting that all these great tele pickers are clones of the immortal tele guru James Burton. Chicken picking was introduced back in 1960 with JB with Ricky Nelson. Vince is probably the best overall today, albeit Brent/Hiland also superb. mos60

This is a great clip to watch when you're feeling cocky. Humbles you quick.
+Will Ledger Yes sir I was always told if think your best at anything you just haven't looked around.These guys have done this before LOL.
Right. I'm sure a chit talker like yourself would play circles around these jokers. You should rush out and get your record deal. You earned it.
EXCELLENT point.
There's plenty of emotion here. You may not be able to listen and comprehend that fast is all.
just makes me more cocky
Hiland and Mason together?! How did the universe not implode from the awesomeness?!?!
Brent plays at Acme in Nashville every now and then and Johnny plays at 3rd sometimes ive seen them both!
I've been playing for more than 45 years...and these guys make me want to *TAKE UP CHECKERS* .
Set em up, Chess is way over my head too.
Out of the 3 guitarists, Johnny Hiland just seems to have the best "time". He destroys the pocket, unreal.
yeah, his groove is preposterous
He's always reaching for something new built on everything he knows. A killer attribute for a player.
Yeah he’s literally my favorite guitarist of all time
Intuition. And. Eases. His way

Attitude staying as positive as possible. About and during music play
Johnny & Brent are brilliant. And how about a little love for the other great guitar player up on the stage - Mike Dunham!
Mike's certainly no slouch.
Ron Shawver not necessarily shown in this video, but Mike Durham has one of the cleanest classic tele tones around. His tele makes Hiland's musicman guitar sound thin like a $100 China special.
Ashley Weeks Not so much the guitar, but you never know what amp Johnny will have on any given day. Mike knows tone though!
Mike Johnson
no slouch by any means but there are levels to this shit!

you can tell brent enjoys sitting back and letting the alpha take over and rip lol
Keep on truckin.

Johnny Hiland is such a monster player, I don't know if people understand how hard it is to play like that with such ease... anyway all the musicians here are top of the game! Greetings from France!
I swear every time I think I've seen Johnny's coolest lick, he whips out a few more that blow me away all over again. Pure genius.
Johnny is off the scale. The kind of playing you can only hope to get when you starting playing at 2, have endless drive for it and are probably blessed by whatever higher power there is regardless !!

Johnny Hiland for President.
Good Lord!!!! That was AMAZING!!!! And exactly what today's country music is missing!!!
I'm just grateful Thom was generous enough to share this with us.
This is how the biggest guitar guns in country do it! Pure joy!
Johnny destroys all, again.
He IS the best.
Man Brent did some work too, he's right there (if not better) with Johnny.
They're all 3 great, but Brent has the licks that pay. $$$$ Johnny's fingers can fly though.
Fastguitars.... true Johnny is out there, and you kind of feel Bret knows it

Country music was born out of the blues.
This proves that.
Part of it definitely was.
butterscotch tele had my favorite tone......[he's awesome picker toooo]
Someone in comments said this already, but Johnny is SEAMLESS. That's why it's so easy and enjoyable to listen to him play
Johnny is just seamless....love to watch him play.
Dennis Cameron and Brent knew he was takin it to him.
This is brilliant. I especially like Brent Mason's smile every time Johnny cuts a solo - like he recognises a fellow genius at work. Absolutely stellar playing from the whole band - I wish I had been there to see this.
I love it when a master musician admires another. Ask any one of them...that's what inspires them and keeps them going.
At onee point Brent just shook his head and said "can you believe this" as Johnnie took over.
Respect to the other duelist. Jamming against another skilled player makes you sound better. Two way street. I love matching up.
Johnny is truly the master. Been amazed by him at every NAMM show for a quarter century!
YES!!! If you are a Hiland fan fun starts at 3:55 - - GO JOHNNY!!!
Johnny's lick at 3:55 is so damn genius... Can't get enough of it!
Chris Basden 4:08-4:18 had me questioning everything in life; I had to watch it over and over.
Glide Consulting well, the way uses them to set up his hot kick is just delicious.
Help! Help! I cant stop listening.Love this jammin! Thanks for sharing.
I'm a rock, metal and jazz player,
but these gentlemen are brilliant,
12 bar blues at it's best.
I could listen to it all day, Brilliant..
I've played guitar for over 40 yrs.
I love rock and blues , but have always thought this type of playing takes more talent and taste than any other style.
@@foylebutler8952 no type of playing takes more taste or talent. music is music.
@@vanguard4065 thats what you say.
@@vanguard4065 Commitment. Is the difference.
@@foylebutler8952 so you say
For the aspiring guitarists out here, there is so much to learn from these amazing players. Watching Bent’s picking and strumming hand is fascinating
Brent Mason is my hero man...I love his Wampler pedal, I use it for every show I play.
I didn't know Johnny Highland was that good.. I might have a new fav country picker
JH’s timing is bloody second to none! The syncopation introduced in his runs are wizardly and found almost nowhere else.
Sweet mother of God, that was something else :))
Thrilling. I'd love to hear these guys do Jerry Reed's "Guitar Man" in this style.
Better give that drummer and bass some credit mon they are solid
these are two of the best guitarist you'll ever see. Johnny is legally blind that makes it so amazing.
Just ridiculously incredible...everyone playing. Thank you Lord for letting us experience their talent
ive watched this video maybe 15 times in the last 3 years. true inspirations

Johnny Hiland is one of the greats all-time.
seriously Bresh.. you have the best inside videos
I've been playing for 50 years makes me want to take up needle point !
these fellers are fantastic !
Johnnys looking at these guys sayin....what ever dude..watch this!!! Hahhahaahahahh . great upload..thank you
Good Golly. I don't know whether this makes me want to go jam or just put down my guitar forever and cry. Amazing.
I go to the jam... I have only one mindset.
Thom I had a real bad day and you just turned it around! Nice video! To Brent and Johnny and everyone else ...A Huge Thank You for a great show!! Respect

You should hear this new guys, countries finally getting good now! Computers fixed everything
I did enjoy it! Johnny and Brent just killed it.
Most people do not realize how elite all those guys on stage are. Probably the best collection of country players in the world.

Know something'?...these 3 guys got "potential"!
These two guys are both from a different unoverse. What kills me is how effortless they make it look. Chickin' pickin' is really hard to master.
The bass player’s face at 4:14 is very appropriate. I had that face as I rewound that lick 13 times and laughed. JH is a master jedi king beast
One of my favorite tunes, thanks for making it so much nicer to play.
Well I sure hope these kids stick with it...I think they can make it in the biz :-)
their are all great , but the bass player is superb.............he keeps his straight lines super...............
+William MacVaine I'm a little bummed that he's actually behind the amps. He is great and doesn't seem to care...just loving playing :)
As a gigging bass player myself, I support your comment!.
One of the most fun songs to play! Thanks! Fun to listen to, too!
The more I listen to johnny the more impressed I am super clean and knows when to back out.
It's no wonder Alan Jackson used Brent Mason on so many of his recordings. Fantastic picker.
just an average weeknight in Nashville.

Actually, it's because it's being recorded on an i phone and Tom is standing to the right and getting better volume from Brent And John.
Good observation, you must be a player yourself.
wonder if they passed the audition?

Never get tired of listening to this fantastic
These guys just love to play. They never seek fame cause they don't have to. Fame is just part of the game for them.
At least in Nashville its actually about guitar playing. Seattle is still about whiny guy trying to be Cobain
Hey I'm from Seattle and I think Cobain was crap. My trying to be hometown boy is Jimi!
they didn't let johnny even get warmed up.
