Thing is, they are both great guitarists and from the look on their faces, having a total blast jamming together. You can tell they respect each others abilities and it’s not a competition between them there, just fun. I think if it came down to a competition, Johnny is more versatile overall, but I haven’t heard Luca play true rock or blues yet either. Johnny can play the fire out of both styles.
Well, someone excoriated me for favorably comparing Johnny to Danny Gatton. I have watched a load of Danny Gatton videos since then and I stand by what I said. Johnny Hiland is the most versatile player I’ve seen in a long time. His licks are as fast and clean as Danny’s. I don’t take anything away from Gatton. Johnny is great, too.
i had to listen to this again, johnny’s playing more clearly and fluidly, i think he’s mixing it up better, luca’s a little more old fashioned, not as fresh, and the feel is choppy and he’s not as versatile…
tmua23 – in Nashville, it is common to see famous people in ordinary places… it isn’t like other cities in that regard. No one really makes a ruckus over seeing someone famous, only the tourists!
I wonder if they told people not to stop and watch them play. I can’t believe they aren’t attracting a crowd. It’s Johnny Hiland people! In their defense, I wouldn’t know Luca Olivieri either if I saw him in a crowd, but it’s freakin’ Hiland!
One more cool chickin’-picking jam!I always guessed that Johnny is the best player in this kind of style and apparently i wasn’t mistaken.This jam once again demonstrated his talent in common with Luca.They’re both just amazing.Keep it up Johnny! P.S. I also don’t understand any dispespects expressed to Johnny…

The guitar sits comfortably on his belly and it’s easy to reach. It works for him just fine!

johnny Hiland
fair enough man. i dont agree though.
Create a video blog…instantly.
no way, i felt luca had a little more taste, discretion, maturity, little more creativity, a more clumsy feel though…

I like that he’s not just a fast player, he actually knows where a phrase belongs, you know? Awesome player!

Great playing. Check out Scotty Anderson and watch his Sweet Georgia Brown with Bob Saxton.
Scott and Johnny are extremely nice and down-to-earth considering their level!
