Johnny is one awesome player! I used to see him play with band on lower Broadway in Nashville at Robert's Western World about 20 years ago. The G3 tour in 2003 stopped here at the Ryman, with Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and Yngwie Malmsteen. Johnny came out at the end of the show (with Neal Schon) and "shredded" with all of them adding his touch of "Nashville" to what he was playing. They all had a good laugh...
