Funny thing, I had gotten about 10 minutes into editing the Hiland video and a friend sat down so I started talking to him. One of the topics was about his bass player who would sometimes see that the song was in the key of A, so would just bang away on the A...even though the song would go A, F#m, D, E, ...

Then, when he left I finished working on the video and got to around the 55 minute mark and realized that Johnny H. was talking about this very thing (applied to solos). If you don't follow the melody, you aren't playing the same song as the rest of the band.

Anyway, enjoy.

Once again, thanks Dave for the great video.  It is very nice to be able to see how JH does his stuff, especially his "chicken call".  Kudos!  a fellow Texan

Wow, the response to this video has been quite unexpected. I used to have advertising turned on for videos, to help defray the cost of equipment (made a big $200-300/year. But, with YouTube's rules changes it just hasn't been worth it...most of my videos get a hundred or so hits. Well, Johnny's video has already garnered over 16k views and tons of comments. It might actually have been worth having advertising turned on. I sent a note to his publicist giving them the link to the vid, but not sure if it made it to Johnny. Steve: Maybe forward the link seperately to him? I bet you have better contact info than I do.
