Bend in tune. PLEASE #vincegill
Get out the Kleenex, hankies, or whatever you use to wipe away your tears: It’s the last episode of this season of Shred With Shifty, a media event more consequential and profound than the finales of White Lotus and Severance combined. But there’ll be some tears of joy, too, because on this episode, Chris Shiflett talks with one of country music’s greatest players: Vince Gill.
Gill’s illustrious solo career speaks for itself, and he’s played with everyone from Reba McEntire and Patty Loveless to Ricky Skaggs and Dolly Parton. He even stepped into the Eagles after Glenn Frey’s death in 2017. His singing prowess is matched by his grace and precision on the fretboard, skills which are on display on the melodic solo for “One More Last Chance.” He used the same blackguard 1953 Fender Telecaster that you see in this interview to record the lead, although he might not play the solo the exact way he did back in 1992.
Tune in to learn how Gill dialed his clean tone with a tip from Roy Nichols, why he loves early blackguard Telecasters and doesn’t love shredders, and why you never want to be the best player during a studio session.

Clapton invited him to a Crossroads Guitar Festival and Vince played with the great Danny Gatton. That's how talented Mr. Gill is on guitar!
I saw Vince at the Grand Ole Opry. He is just such a class act, and a great player and songwriter
I can't play Tele's (uncomfortable for me) but I love ya Vince!
Folks, this is what happens when you are great, slightly out of control then marry, really, really well… amazing couple, amazing player.
He’s such an awesome musician.
His looks have changed dramatically.
Vince you’re the best sure would like to see you live before my times up
vince is great
He’s really good!
Ha! I learned to bend listening to Larry too. I’m in good company.
Gill made his name in country as a singer, but he's always been a great guitar player as well.
Thats some clean sound there vince. Hope things are well with the eagles
That's real deal country music, folks!
Beautiful how that just flows out.
Yes Carlton had a country feel in fact when he joined the crusaders Joe sample thought he was too country . Bebop blues and a touch of country could describe Carlton . This guy has a lovely tone and feel . Clever bends . Fresh
Didn’t know he’s got a slight lazy eye…… no wonder he’s so good…… people with imperfections are usually badass at something.
So good. What guitar is that?
Clean af
I'm blues, but man Vince and Ricky, absolutely legendary
Home town hero!
Vince Gill is the most under-rated Singer and Guitar Player, in the Whole World to me. He is Fantastic.
LC
He makes bending look easy the rest of us are just faking it
Saw him with eagles. FANTASTIC
He's got great hearing !
Cool!
SOUNDS LIKE A MERLE HAGGARD SONG.
Whenever people start braying on about underrated rock stars, they never mention guys like this who are exponentially better than a lot of the classic rock guys. This is one great player
Then listen to John Mayer talking about microtonal bending – i.e. NOT bending in tune…
Great. Player
Vince is inVincible ????
First thing I thought was wow his bends are in tune
I like David gilmour I like Jeff Beck I like Michael schenker. Vince Gill is right up in there
So underrated and so humble and a awesome guitar picker.
Totally on the money you don’t need to play a million notes a minute . Just need to bend one the right way ????????
So humble! He is outstanding
One fine guitar player
Really great bending and tone. I'll have to look up his work
Sounds nothing like a steel guitar.
Great player and gent
yep. yngwie i think said the same
