His choice of guitarists is based on the sound he wants...any of those three guys could fit any guitar bill you needed (lead, rhythm, and probably vocals, too), and I agree that Cody Kilby is a monster picker...
Interesting, too, that Andy Statman does a bit of mando picking, and I'd bet they all play at least 2 different instruments very well...
Alan, I'd fall into that category of "non-musician" regardless of which instrument I was holding...
Now, if we could just get Ricky to find a picker who doubles as a barber...
(Just kidding, of course...I don't give a rip how his hair looks--hope that makes it through the filter!)
I've been less and less surprised in trying to learn songs (esp classic rock, country, and most stuff on the radio) how many times I kill myself trying to learn a fingerbusting combination of rhythm guitar and lead licks only to find out later there are actually 2 or 3 guys picking the parts...I guess that's why they call it a band...
