Johnny Hiland
Johnny Hiland’s incredible guitar virtuosity is only 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 must have been somewhat of 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 bluegrass band 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.
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 worked for two years preparing his self-titled debut album, which was comprised of country and rock instrumentals and released in 2004. He has also become a successful session guitarists for well-known artists such as Ricky Skaggs, Toby Keith, and Randy Travis.
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 also owns a studio that he uses to produce other musicians as well as record session guitar tracks for various artists.
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.

The more you play the better you get .one player to another❤.
It helps to have a kick-ass band behind you. It clearly helps Johnny just destroy this number. He's one of the best living today.
That tone... Its like buttered up diamonds
Amazing everything and everybody in the band!
hes a freakin genious
I hear a little of SRV and a little Bit of Jeff Healy and I could go on and on !!
Et dire que ce joueur est quasi inconnu en France! Quel talent.quelle force,quelle simplicité.
Johnny Hiland, you never fail to amaze me with your emotion packed tone... you have actually helped me so much in proving that having short fingers does not have to be a curse to play guitar....
Thanks for your comments! Glad you like what we do!
Apparently neither does being BORN BLIND.
KILLER PLAYING geeeezzzzz
Good Job! Keep up the good work!
Who's the bastard who dislike this moment of crazyness ?????🤪🤪🤪
interesting mix of swing, country, and blues pentatonics, plays real nice, the bends are really good would like to hear something outside the box every now and then just to mix it up.
Get down on it Johnny! Oh yeh!
Wouaou je le connaissais pas le gaillard. Il envoie du bois. Croisement entre SRV, Buddy Guy et Johnny winter...
Wow, 👍

One player to another. The more you play the better you get ❤

@@garbygarb31 it would be C if its in C also B# is very hard to find on my guitar unless I do the circle of fifths dance and end up on Cb, I love music, it hurts my brain.
