I've allways been amazed by Johnny Hiland's playing - But I only just found out he's blind aswell!?!

Dunno why I made a thread about this - But he's even more brilliantly talented than I thought he was!

if he was deaf i'd be impressed :wink:
But seriously though, the guy is INCREDIBLE. I saw a few videos of him playing a while back, and i was stunned by his virtuosity, his tone, and the fact that HE CAN'T SEE!

I believe he does have some vision, but his sight is bad enough to qualify him as legally blind.

(I don't mean to imply "so what, he's not blind at all"  :wink: , he's absolutely brilliant.  And musical - no mindless shredding from this guy!)
