No, not really (not talking about Hagar…he indeed rules), but Johnny’s so much more then someone recycling Van Halen licks. He’s probably more versatile then Van Halen. Hiland is a master of almost every style of guitar playing imaginable. Not sure you can say that of Van Halen. However, to give credit where it’s due, Van Halen innovated an entire style of playing. Can’t say that about Johnny Hiland. Hiland may have mastered the guitar, but has yet to reinvent it the way Eddie has.
People aren’t given talent in equal doses. Yes, he worked extremely hard, but he also had more natural ability then most. I read of Johnny, as a child, learning a very difficult bluegrass piece in a matter of hours and playing it the next day at a bluegrass festival. The average musician, no matter how dedicated, could not do that. Yes, like it or not, the man has GOD given talent.
Nobody becomes a world class virtuoso unless they were born and have been blessed with a serious amount of talent. That goes for the arts as well as for sports. You still have to put in the hard work to push your God given ability to that level but if you are not blessed with the talent to begin with no amount of hard rock will get you there. That is a fact, my friend.
Johnny is so versatile! I have heard many pickers on Broadway that play their brains out but only truly specialize in one style. But Johnny is the complete package. Johnny is not a big headed ***** with an ego like so many of the players I have met in Nashville. He is a truly humble guy and has a kind heart.
SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIT….JOHNNY….A HAGAR CLONE?????? THIS MAN IS IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN!!!!!! KNOWN HIM SINCE HE WAS 10 YEARS OLD……BACK IN MAINE……….PLAYIN WITH HIS BROTHER AND SISTER AS THE 3 Js…..NONE BETTER!!! NONE!!!

I refuse to give “God” credit for people’s talent. Give credit where credit’s dued.
