I just looked at my guitar and asked it, "Why can't YOU do that?".

He makes it look so easy that nonmusicians might not realize how good he really is, and writes and sings great too.

The well deserved respect Vince pays to Chet. How many guitar players have put down their guitar when they know there is nothing they can add. Chet just called up on the phone and Vince put his guitar down..

He has such a relaxed, clean guitar style even at fast tempos. It looks effortless, but having played for 50 years myself, I know it is not easy, I can assure you.

Vince Gill has the purest voice of any Country Male singer ever. He is also an Awesome guitar player!!! I Love Him

Vince Gill is an incredibly humble player. There's no greater compliment than to get a compliment from Chet.

Geez I always thought that this guy was just another country singer, never knew about his guitar playing ability. Bloody amazing.

oh yeah, seriously one of the best for years and years ...

phenomenal picking---not one slip up, and he was tearing it up with many different licks...wow!

That's as good as it gets... A classy, humble guy. With an amazing talent.

Not enough is said about what an outstanding guitar player (and singer/songwriter), Vince Gill is. Amazing! My hands are tired just watching him play this song! Love'em!

Vince Gill is the gold standard - both as a guitar player and singer.

I could listen to him do that all day. A true gentleman and a great musician. Kids put away your playstations and go find an instrument and follow your dream.

Bilbo Baggins I agree wholeheartedly!

What a tribute by one of the greatest players ever to another of the greatest players ever!

WOW!!!! The Eddie VH of country music!!! Not a country guy but know talent. hell that was fantastic!!

I remember being absolutely blown away when I first saw him play this guitar solo. Perfection!

I play guitar & am a classic rock guy ... Never been big on country music , but I can appreciate great talent . This man definitely has immense talent ... Good stuff.

When guitar teachers are talking about great players and their styles, Vince Gill gets mentioned often. Now I know what they mean. He's up there with some of the greatest.

this man is absolutely awesome. period.

True story. Vince spoke of being unable to crack into any success in the mid 80's. One night in 1984, I tuned in public radio, Austin City Limits, and dropped a cassette in the recorder. After a set with Earl Thomas Conley, a 30 minute set of a new artist, Vince Gill comes on. Loved his music the first time I heard him, and have been a fan now for 30 years. I still have the cassette.

TheMikey1960 you should find someone that can make the cassette into a digital recording. Let people enjoy it and it will ensure you to never to lose it. It is doable just need the right equipment to do so.

I never get tired of listening to his guitar. Why more people are not tuning in?

Hard to understand any "dislikes" here. Narrow minded and jealous I guess... Great playing!!!

Pretty much the best soloing I've ever seen. Incredible.

Vince Gill shreds here on this little ditty light years better than all those 80's speed freaks combined.

O. M. G. I'm looking behind Vince Gill, and I see the greatest steel guitar players of all times, Mr. John Hugely. sure do miss him, I know know Vince loved him.

Singer....song writer....guitar player (along with other instruments). Doesn't get much better!

Vince is my favorite country artist by far and probably one of my favorite musicians...

And that, folks, is how it's done.

Speechless ! Vince may be the coolest player ever to have walked this earth .

i need to pick my jaw off the floor. That was amazing. Some of the most flawless, excellent playing Ive ever heard. First time hearing Vince Gill. Wont be the last.

One of the greatest musicians ever.

The incomparable Vince Gill. A true virtuoso. Love you, Vince.

Stunning playing as always from this most humble of guitar virtuosos! Vince never lets his technical mastery get in the way of his innate musicality - a rare talent...

Vince is just as stunning as ever! To play that well, sing that well, it's just not fair. ;) So smooth, too, with that gorgeous clean tone and those pedal steelish-lines in there. We're not worthy!

I first heard Vince Gill while shopping for records way back in the day. I was blown away with his amazing register and incredible gift of dynamics. Mr. Gill just knows how to deliver with so much conviction. All it took was when I heard "Colder Than Winter". I was literally speechless. I recall being in a total trance, if you will, and I bought every available record in the store that day. Vince Gill is a class act and being a professional country musician myself. it would make my life just to simply shake his hand and say "thank you", for it is talent and honesty in your music that provides hope and instills in me to keep moving forward and to always keep a dream in my heart and soul. For now I will have to convey it through this format, Thank you, Vince for simply being you.

This is an incredible back-story on Vince. And, the Vince, Mark and Chet connection is incredible.

Incredible! Vince is the man,not many people can touch his style and skill level.

an excellent guitar player with a matching voice.

Would love to hear Vince Gill play with Mark Knopfler on Sultans of Swing!

Vince just killing it. Dang he's amazing.

My first experience with Vince was when he was playing with Pure Prairie League. I got to see them once in Salt Lake City. He is truly a great guitar player and vocalist. Got to see PPL in Park City last year & even though Vince was not with them, they were great.

by 7:34 he'd played every lick known to man, and started dinkin around. what a player!

Thank you Vince for all the guitar magical stuff!

Vince Gill is and will always be the greatest song writer, solo and harmony singer and the most knowledgeable string instrument player this world will ever be blessed with. Period.

I was a semi-professional guitar player when I was younger and I can tell you, that is some very good guitar playing......darn good.....

Sweet baby Jesus that man can play!!!

I play guitar and bass. Not a country music fan, but I sure do respect this guy. Great guitar player and seems a genuinely nice guy. Love that telecaster "quack"

Absolutely Top notch singer and guitarist In anyones book

Flawless, incredibly tasteful guitar work with perfect Telecaster tone. I could listen to his ending lead section a thousand times.

I am going to see this amazing man for the 3 time this Saturday! The first time was a large but casual outdoor show in Touleme River park in CA. back in 93 . next was 2009 at the Civic Center in Des. Moines Iowa and now the Hoyt Sherman theater in Des Moines Iowa. smaller more intimate venue! I can't wait! my 4 year old granddaughter is going also!!!!

Vince Gill is just a great guitar player........

Will always remember seeing him play at Merlefest a few years back. Front row, center stage. My jaw was hanging open throughout. Great , great talent.

What a fantastic guitarplayer!

flawless...every damn note has its place...amazing.

Vince Gill also has put out some fantastic Gospel songs too!. The man is super talented!.

Vince also had a stint in Pure Prairie League.

Wow,,,,, He Is Hard To Beat,,,,,,,,,,,, Love Vince and His Music.....

In baseball parlance....that amazing guitar solo was a " grand slam ! "

I realize we make a big deal over Urban and Paisley these days, and for a good reason, but ... OMG.. Vinnie, you can shine with the best of 'em! Hint as to how good Gill is.. Chet Atkins phones in a request..

that genre of guitar playing at it's finest... great sound too... great freedom on the fretboard.. super nice personality and presentation... loved it...

KILLER GUITAR SLINGER. VINCE SMOKES THAT GUITAR. HE IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THE BEST. Been to many many of his concerts & he opens with this song. He is just plain Awesome. His concerts are Wonderful. Check him out.

What a God given talent. No one better.

I'm thankful for youtube so I can see stuff like this.. What a great performance.

Wooooooooooooooooow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thank`s and many greetings Gerd (Germany)

This is straight up country with real class! Sorry young folks, but there won't be any smoke, mirrors, glitter, badass attitudes or any open tattoos. And there won't be anything to apologize for. WARNING: Before Vince takes his solo, I advise everyone viewing to please strap yourself in. You go Vince!

Great playing by one of the best.

We got 'Chet', from Nashville, on the line...

Way to go Vince! Not a note out of place and man does that guitar sound sweet. Talk about playing to aspire to. Awesome.

God, this is very good "hand made "- music , and nothing of all this electronic trash the world is full of nowadays ! Thank you , Vince.

Hell to the Yeah !!! Vince has bee my fave since his first release.

Vince is the best would love to hear him do Let Me Love You Tonight live

And he does it without the usual high volume, excess speed, and distracting theatrics! Just excellent listening music.

Saw him on the Rising Star Tour back in about 1980 something. He sat and had a beer with us ! Just a down to earth guy.

Wow! Fine guitar work and a great song!

What an amazing guitar player!...OK, amazing ARTIST.

i Play rock, metal, and blues, mostly, but damn this guy sure makes country intresting, such a smooth player

Sounds like a lap steel at some points ! What a fantastic tone and player.

Beautiful!! Martin. Incredible. Heart, Tone, the legend.

this is what you call setting bar very very high as far as music!

Twang!!! Damn, that Telecaster barks! 👏👏👏😀

Flawless.

That guitar playing. Just WOW, WOW, WOW.

Fantastic job , Vince !

Wow, is that amazing. I've been bingeing on Vince Gill-Amy Grant videos all day. Theirs is the most romantic story ever. I'm in love with both of them.

wow! THAT is some righteous pickin'!

AMAZING VINCE!!!!!!!

It is amazing how real fame and fortune have alluded this extreme mega-talent.

Vince started off in rock music with Pure Prairie League back in the late '70s and sang lead vocals on two of their biggest hits, Let Me Love You Tonight and Still Right Here In My Heart. Great singer and musician!

VINCE GILL IS AWESOME HE HAS A LOVELY VOICE IT'S BEAUTIFUL I THANK I'M HIS BEST FAN EVER LOVE HIM

WOw, I've almost lost my breath, amazing!

Amazing! He made it sound just like a pedal steel.

It's like my ears just ate some pop tarts. Good lawd!

I could listen to Vince Gill sing ALL day long and not get tired of hearing him. he has a VERY sexy voice.

That's one thing Country Artists like Vince have is a great sense of personability. They are extremely talented musicians/song writers/ singers and yet you see them and they are as nice to everyone like they are your next door neighbor. Met Billy Ray Cyrus once when he was on top of the world and he was just as down to earth and friendly as can be. Same as Brad Paisley and a few others.

At Austin City Limits in 2004 Vince talked about some advice he got from Eddie Arnold "Be gracious on the way up, Be gracious on the way down". He also sing about his father in the song called "The Key to Life" (included in the album called "The Key") advising him to stay the same. It is an excellent song and he sure followed that advice through his carer.

man just love his guitar...

the holy spirit came down and played vince's guitar!

So good I had to listen twice

Gill is a master! That's it; I'm burning all of my guitars and start selling empty beer bottles.
