Guitarist Jimmy Capps, a member of the Musicians Hall of Fame who played on such timeless country songs as Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler," George Jones' "He Stopped Loving Her Today," and George Strait's "Amarillo by Morning," has died at 81.

In 2012, he was spotlighted by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum as a "Nashville Cat" and was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame in 2014, along with fellow honorees Randy Bachman and Peter Frampton.

The heavenly choir has gained one of the finest players to ever play," the Oak Ridge Boys' Joe Bonsall wrote on Twitter in remembrance of Capps, who played guitar on the Oaks' 1981 smash "Elvira."

Along with his onstage work, Capps was an in-demand session musician, known for his smooth playing style of both acoustic and electric guitar, on recordings like Tammy Wynette's "Stand by Your Man," Barbara Mandrell's "I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool," and Strait's "Unwound."

He joined the Opry house band in 1967, playing lead guitar behind the radio show's guest artists every week up until his death.
