I always thought Vince Gill was great. I don't know as much as some of y'all about Country-genre pickers, but I've seen some of Gill's playing and was impressed. Although, the times my band has played Nashville gigs, I always step into Gruhn Guitars (the famous shop on Broadway St.) and their salesmen can play just as good/fast as Vince. I think the key difference is that players like Chet Atkins, Gill, Ricky Scaggs - they came up with those licks first. These other guys just copy and reiterate. I honestly have not heard any "amazing" Country guitarists in the past decade except for one - Johnny Hiland. He is phenomenal, but even he doesn't stick to pure Country. What's the deal???
