Chicken Picken' Guitar

Johnny Hiland is one of the true rising stars on the Nashville guitar scene, and simply one of the greatest all-around pickers we've ever heard! His legend is spreading quickly, and this tape is testament to not only his great Telecaster prowress, but his incredible teaching ability as well!

His playing is reminiscent of DANNY GATTON, ALBERT LEE, BRENT MASON and ARLEN ROTH, with lots of JOHNNY HILAND thrown in there for good measure!

On this video, Johnny doesn't hold back as he teaches you chicken pickin' lead and rhythm, hybrid picking, using ghost notes, triple picking, double-stops, influences, hi-lo, lo-hi patterns open-string licks, double bends, pedal steel style bends, open string "banjo"-style licks, combining several styles, tone and volume control tricks, plus a discussion of gear and effects.

There are also many performances with an all-star band, including some jams with ARLEN ROTH! You'll find that Johnny's a true master, and with this video he passes on a lifetime's worth of hot info that's not to be missed!
