He knows so well that he doesn't need the ego. Seems like a genuine guy anyways.

Johnny is such an amazing guitarist yet seems incredibly humble to be so darn good! I could listen to him play all day everyday. What a true gentleman. I am going to work on the picking exercises he demonstrated. Thanks for having Johnny on!

His playing is straight up mind blowing. There are guitar players then there is Johnny.

The thing with Johnny is, he makes every note count, every one clear. A true master

I met Johnny at a Dallas guitar show and he was as friendly and acted like we’d known each other for years! He was so humble and down to earth.......compared to some of the other guitarists who were there who acted so annoyed that I would even approach them! Johnny at the jam smoked every other guitarist there and with a shit eatin’ grin as he did it! 😉🎸

Thanks Johnny!! These are fantastic exercises that I could really us now. 9 months of 1-2 hours a day and I am starting to hear the results! Got my acrylics on so I am using this as my go to exercises! Cannot wait for any new lessons you are coming out with. You are an impressive teacher and your willingness to show us is humble as can be. God bless ya Brother and all the best from Christopher in Costa Rica

Pure mastery and such a humble nice person too.

Great tips. Great to see the guy on right speaking for normal people. Asking all the relevant questions that viewers would be thinking of. Hiland explains things so well as well.

A Brilliant concept. It opens everything up.

Those muted ghost notes are what really give it that percussive feel, imo. C-pikin has a real percussive element to it and those muted ghosties are a huge part of that.

You almost can't even have any friends growing up in order to play an instrument that good. I mean seriously. I spent years of my teenage time in my parents basement in order to become a decent drummer while everyone else was doing normal teenage stuff. In order to achieve Johnny's level of mastery, how could he have ever even gone outside as a kid right? Just...... WOW!

Met him after a show @ Robert’s back in 99’.Super nice guy.I asked if he gave lessons and how much $. He said” just come over and bring your rig and we’ll go from there”. I moved back to Tx. before I got to work with him.Sure wish I’d taken advantage of that kind offer. I was extremely fortunate because Red was in town as well.Another MONSTER player and Super Nice guy!

I’m a hard rock/metal guitar player, this gentleman is by far my favorite guitar player, along with John 5, those 2 should do an album together.

Paul Hamrick ...Johnny is a legitimate MASTER! anyone with at least half a brain rattling around in their head that admires guitar music, regardless of genre, can easily see that. So how is he UNDERRATED? The fact that you've never heard of him or you haven't seen his name mentioned in some kind of pop-up top ten list? Why do I see people using that term all the time now?

When he wants to he can do it all. When he was younger he played some fusion and even metal shredding, which he is also a master of, but it seems in recent years he just plays what he loves and aims to be the world's best chicken picker.
