Johnny Hiland
Johnny Hiland’s breathtaking guitar skill is made that much more impressive when you realize he was born with a condition called Nystagmus, an eye disease which renders him legally blind. Though this certainly must have been a hindrance to initially learning to play, he took up the guitar at the very young age of 2. He won the “Talent America Contest” in New York City when he was only 10. Until he turned 15 he played in a band bluegrass with his sister, Jodi, and brother, Jerry. They called themselves “The 3 J’s.”
In high school his taste in music broadened as he became interested in the great rock guitarists, among them Eddie Van Halen and Joe Satriani. He then attended the University of Southern Maine while studying history. The pull of performing music professionally turned out to be too strong to resist and he dropped out after 3 years to move to Nashville. Soon after arriving there he attracted attention while playing local clubs. He was the first Nashville musician to be offered an endorsement deal from Fender without being signed to a label.
In addition to his love of performing, Hiland has found a passion for teaching others to play. In 2014 teamed up with Truefire to release a series of instructional videos titled “Ten Gallon Guitar”. He owns a studio that he uses to produce other musicians as well as record session guitar tracks for various artists.
Thanks to his manager calling Steve Vai and leaving one of Hiland’s demos on Via’s voicemail, Hiland earned a record deal on Vai’s Favored Nations record label. He became a successful session guitarists for well-known artists such as Ricky Skaggs, Toby Keith, and Randy Travis. He worked for two years preparing his self-titled debut album, which was comprised of country and rock instrumentals and released in 2004.
You’re sure to see in these performances from the Dallas International Guitar Festival in 2016, that Hiland is on a level all his own. He is the modern king of chicken pickin’ guitar playing.

One of the best of this generation.....
Johnny once again showed us what playing the guitar is all about!. This guy floors me with his sound and really sweet attitude. Band is smoking which you can tell really gets Johnny going. Back up guitarist spot on also. Thanks guys for a fantastic upload!!!!
He was really grooving! Thanks for watching! We're glad you enjoyed it!
I watch this when I start thinkin I'm a great player. Right back to beginner.
I think I'm hearing a little Hank Garland every once in a while.
Somebody has been damned shore been seriously wood-shedding!!!
He reminds me of me sometimes. I also wear blue jeans.
😂
Yeahhh!!!
Nice guitarst good tecnic and sound,Country Blues
Monster players (both) and Johnny has a great voice too!
TELECASTER SOUNDS AMAZING
beto correia Mike Durham has one of the best tele tones around. Hiland's Musicman sounds like a thin toy guitar tone for tone.
He sounds like Jimmy Bryant.
Mighty fine pickin and a grinning, but what was the drummer saying during his solo?
Kudos to the guy with the yellow guitar fer not shitting himself.
Mister Johnny's guitar brand?
cool............
Look at that f-ing Johnny Hiland.
300 fifty pounds
Blind
Nice guys finish last personality
F-ing sausage fingers
And he can play faster than mice scattering
And play Van Halen note for note
❌edited comment: And I wore out the tips on some JIM Dunlop III mini picks, and the frets on an Ibanez RG trying to build up speed.
You don't have to like this music style to appreciate the talent holding this Teles. The big man has heart and flavor and technique beyond most and his protege is far from a slouch. Fantastic sound!!!!!!
I can't play like that "Just Because".
Fi
Red hot band behind Johnny. Thanks for the upload.
They were only fire that day! No question about it! Thanks for watching!
Some amazing Guitar work there fella's!
PS the drummer is no slouch either!!
Just AWSOME
man the drummer smoking like hell
Fuck I feel bad for the other guy. Tough act to follow. I mean just bow to Johnny and say uncle. Lick for lick, Johnny is going to bury anyone. Side by side, other players just seem so blah. I just say, give me more Johnny please. No offense.
Ufffffff impresionante
Johnny is awesome
Браво!!!!!!!!
what brand is the telecaster ?
I think it's a Music Man Tele.
I cant play like that cause my fingers are short and fat.
