i watch this guys vids EVERY. EFFIN. DAY. and i can't get enough. definitely in my top 5 all time. jason becker, uli jon roth, yngwie and bumblefoot. imho of course
Same as Shawn Lane. Arguably the greatest, most technically proficient electric guitarist in history and he was relegated to playing clubs around Memphis,
ThatGuitardedGuy Lane? He was born in and resided in Memphis, TN his whole life. Mostly played Bombay Bicycle Club and other smaller, similar venues around Memphis (when he wasn’t abroad) until he passed.
The really fun bit is also that they look like they are chillin in the tractor workshop on the farm changing an air filter....chicken pickin blues is fun!!!!!
If these comments on JB were from 15 years ago I would agree. But they are way off today. His catalogue is pretty sophisticated. Recent albums display great song writing and variety. He literally worked on his vocals until they improved to current level.his work with Beth Hart....seriously.some of you do not know what you are talking about. Johnny is awesome.but there are vids he is with bonamassa and skill, tone , nod goes to JB
Johnny Hiland is without a doubt an ace picker but...he ain't touching the feel that J.J. Cale had when he played his classic. In Johnny's defense, Skynyrd didn't come close to J.J. When you're covering a J.J. tune - it's not what you play but what you don't.
Cool thing about that. After Johnny's album came out with that on it, we got a nice note from JJ Cale's family telling us how much they liked Johnny's version.
Johnny improvises everything he does. Which ain't good or bad but can he play a song like it was written ??? I know alot of guitar players that improvise and that's all they can do. This is Johnny's version. I like skynyrds version the best.
