Ugh. This is limp-wristed, vapid, pandering, Smooth Jazz/elevator music in the worst sense. The fact that it's Eric Johnson playing doesn't legitimize it. He ought to be ashamed, because he is capable of so much more.
Eric & his band always provide an amazing LIVE set. If you get the chance, don't let it pass. I've seen him over 5x...each 1 better than the previous one. His mixture of Wes, Clapton, Jimi & C. Atkins is nothing short of outstanding...!
@bengaylor873 he's really good don't get me wrong but he's nowhere close to Sylvain Luc,Biréli Lagrène,Allan holdsworth,Georges Benson,Kurt Rosenwinkel,Pat Metheny,John Mclaughlin etc....maybe to you he's touche you more....music it's a question of feeling and techniques etc....but you can't say that he's the best guitariste that ever lived......
You got that right bengaytalor and tribio!

i keep telling my wife that if i only owned an es-335, i would able to play just like this. it's not true of course, but she doesn't know that.

If she's the right kind of woman, she'd wink at you and say
"no way honey, you couldn't play like that if you had an es-335,
unless you has the Mesa Boogie too".

ALC's bass player Chris Maresh wrote Rain. EJ acknowledged him for it before and after he played it live in Dallas last year.
