\"Johnny<\/a>
Johnny A has been playing at the top of his game for some time now. Check out the videos for some very cool stuff. Photo courtesy of Wikipedia.org<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Johnny A has a unique sound, mostly instrumental songs, that include a wide variety of music styles. There’s plenty to keep me interested for sure. And as versatile of a guitarist as he is, there are still a lot of people who don’t really know much about him. So how cool is it that we can share a couple of videos featuring performances and an interview with Johnny provides a bit more about his history in the music business. Plus he talks about his signature model Gibson guitar which gives him that cool sound of his. I hope you enjoy!<\/p>\n

One of Johnny’s crossover hits was a song called, “Oh Yeah.” It also happens to be a personal favorite of mine so I hope you enjoy it as well. Check out this live performance at http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mJ7amOCI6DI&noredirect=1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Johnny A. is one of those great, versatile guitarists that seems to be a bit underrated. Fortunately, there is a nice population of fans in his fan base, and if I can add a few more by writing this post then I’m a happy man.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more from Blues Guitar Unleashed!<\/p>\n
