eric johnson

anyone get into him..?
this guy is a fanatic about his tone....
here is an acoustic piece and an electric piece.

acoustic is called 'a song for life'...damn beautiful note

I like EJ a lot!

Never saw him play a 335 before, I always thought he played a strat.
MF has an EJ strat for 1.5k. To much for me!

anyone else?

Most people would probably recognize Eric Johnson because of Cliffs of Dover. Forgive me for not imbedding it correctly but the best guitar hook ever begins at about 3:16. For people who like this kinda stuff, I can't imagine much better except Satriani.

My friend used to play that damn cliffs of dover, over and over and over. I really got sick of it after awhile, I dont like that old eighties nineties guitar rock crap that he, satriani, and vai played. I liked it then but now it just wears at me. That was a nice departure from the stuff I have heard before, I guess being as I got fed up with the instrumental glam guitar rock, I havent given him a good enough look. There are some guitar players out there that are both technical and who have the gift, it appears watching him flow through those songs he has both. I hate watching or listening to a guitar player that is so techincal in his/her playing that they sound like a robot. Thanks for posting that, I will have to give him more of a look now.
