hey wayne whats up ! the dudes name is justin johnson. do a google search and you'll find all kinds of stuff. guys like him are actually plentiful if you know where to look. they just dont want to be in any of the lime light of the music industry, but they do make a living at it.
for example, you ever here the song sweet home alabama by lynard skynard, the lyrics, ''mussel shoals sure got the swampers''. mussel shoals is a recording studio in alabama, and swampers are known as pickers which in turn turns out to mean guitar player. a lot of them are known to either hang out there or are on call as needed. these are the kind of guys that can play anything.
one famous one is jj cale and he wrote many big hits your high profile bands play. claptons cocaine, lay down sally, etc etc are all his.
