Johnny Hiland shows off some true guitar wizardry on this slow blues at the Dallas International Guitar Festival 4/21/13. With Tim McDonald on keyboards.
Joe Bonamassa has nothing on this guy. What an unbelievable talent. Never seen anyone play almost any genre of music and play it like he is the master of it.

A lot of confusion as to the gear used for the tone in this performance. Core tone after his fingers and the guitar is a Jetter Red Shift OD into a CEC Brigand (directly behind him) set on channel 1, clean mode. For the nerds, channel 1 on that amp is an original preamp circuit that goes: 5751 --> 12AU7 --> EF86. The amp has a dual KT88 power amp. How do I know? I designed and built it. ;-)

Stupidest saying I've ever heard. Those who communicate what they do teach. Those that can't think, can't play or teach make snarky comments about teachers online. Most of the world's best players also teach to some degree. Check out George Garzone. Taught at Berklee for 45 years and taught most of the modern jazz sax players. He's one of the best. What if you don't like living on the road and like the feeling of helping others? Such a stupid saying.
