Came across this vid as a Hiland fan..
First, thanks for the clear lesson brother!! Amazing chicken picking..
+ I’m so glad to see a video with an Explorer, not playing Metallica.
I’ve had people bash my Esp Explorer video because I played something completely different.. apparently we don’t “deserve” the guitar? HAHA

Yep, I agree. Wrong …
Yep, I agree. Wrong choice of words. I meant, he is up there with some of the best guitar players in the world and some of the fastest guitarist. Zakk’s style is pretty fast and so is Paul Gilberts style (I always loved this dude’s style as I have picked up a lot of techniques from him). Malmsteen’s style is neo-classical and I am not a fan of this genre of music which kinda reminds me of baroque music. It’s okay but not my taste. I also am not too fond of metal or death / grundge metal.

Not trying to be …
Not trying to be picky, but Zakk is not a shredder. I have met him many times and even he says this. Doesn’t make him a bad guitarist, just not a shredder. Johnny is not a shredder either any more than is George Benson. All very fast guitarists, but speed alone does not define shred. Gilbert and Malmsteen on the other hand, pure shred. Having said that, I love them all for different reasons.

Rob Chappers is Brit but the style he is showing is Johnny “Lightning Fingers” Hiland. Yes, the dude in this video is british and his name is Rob Chappers although the chicken pickin’ guitar lesson he is teaching is the style of Johnny “Lightning Fingers” Hiland.

This dude’s name is actually called Johnny “killer fingers” Hilland. He’s a Texas guitar Hero. One of the better guitar players I have heard. He’s up there with Paul Gilbert, Zakk Wylde and Malmsteen. All wicked shredders.
