[Dougan840]

@WBYMAG Eric Johnson > VH....sorry man, but talent-wise, you've got to give him that

[RamosGuitarra]

Hey guys, I'd be the happiest dude ever if you could check out my cover of this song. I think I did a pretty good job, but i'll let you decide!

[RahulSynysterGates]

who felt awkward after seeing Thru the fire & Flames on the side?

And yes ,Herman Li & Sam Totman suck lolly pops in front of EJ...

[CelticMoonDust]

681 people like Justin Bieber.

[ThatBoyTLong]

@CelticMoonDust in other words. They're tone deaf

[Reddharp]

fiew songs sound to me like guitar is actualy singing, this one is one of rare fiew

[Throthgar]

Words cannot express the brilliance of this music.

I guess that's why there're no lyrics.

[AlexWerkmeister712]

Very few instrumentals speak to you like this song does.

[CelticMoonDust]

He's a god. -_-

[Simsinator8]

@CelticMoonDust true dat...

[mikeyytheclown]

I fucking love this. 

[GuitarDude1051]

@fuckthis123ify FUS RO DAH!!!

[Manley156]

[ThatBoyTLong]

@Manley156 just go on ultimate guitar dot com

[guythasawesome]

681 people tripped and fell off the cliff, said, "oh, crap"- turned into a piece of crap, and didn't change........

[corpralkirsch]

[Taildragger2411]

+My son put this guy and his guitar on my face book page ,i'm glad he did it's awsome .

[biggrigga]

This song makes me feel like everything is alright :)

[cabbitsd]

@biggrigga Everything IS alright, my friend. and you're right, this song is a fantastic reminder of that.

[MrThePurplemonkey]

I want to skydive to this shit!

[13prey]

@MrThePurplemonkey i want to play mario

[theqman24]

I asked my 2nd period teacher if he knew Eric Johnson, he responded by saying "Yeah I know him." and I flipped a tit (almost) and responded (loudly) saying "REALLY?!" and hes like "my cousin, yeah, hes in school but not the musician." I think my teacher trolled me.

[OtherRealmer]

681 people got pushed off of the cliffs of Dover or desperately need to be.

[MrUSMC0151]

"Dislike" should not even be an option for this masterpiece. If ya don't like EJ's music just don't f****n come to this page.

[screechkid116]

@MrUSMC0151 people disliked because THE UPLOADER CUT OFF THE FIRST NOTE!!!

[MrUSMC0151]

@screechkid116 God forbid someone hates a track for the first note being gone.

[shenrys15]

Legend ;)

[Jegerib]

So wierd, how this song has become populair after the release of Guitar Hero :( I knew it before !

[TheDamnliza]

@Jegerib hipster

[AliceSymphonyX]

681 son unos putos reguetoneros y flowers que no saben apreciar la buena musica

[ElComadreja777]

680 perople are fucking idiots.

[Truett543]

He cant play his own song perfectly on the other hand other people can.

[Truett543]

PHENOMENALLY PLAYED!! But Eric Johnson cant play his own song. (That wasn't him) But he was still an electric guitar hero!

[bobsterfish]

@Truett543 What the hell are you talking about? What do you mean he can't play his own song?

[2007kaikane]

I am @ The E spot...San Diego...where are you this weekend??? Hilton Bayfront Is the E spot!!

[MW2COBRABEAST]

If u hear closely u can hear the guitar hero guitar making noise in the background!!

[Klunkekarl]

@MW2COBRABEAST ehm dude, that thing you hear is the base drum;) sorry to break it to ya.

[mcgaheefamily]

FANTASTIC GUITAR

[Samppunoppa]

holy shit! THIS IS AWESOME!<3<3<3<3<333<3<3<3<3<3­<3<3<3<3<33<3<3

[hamsterdoom360]

I've only recently discovered this song and that makes me sad. What other incredible songs like this one have I not heard yet? I must find them.

[pdt1515]

@hamsterdoom360 Try "Song For George" by EC from the same album... A great acoustic masterpiece that will make you jealous.

[MrGuitarEater]

@hamsterdoom360 If you're looking for high-speed shred guitar players, you could try Yngwie Malmsteem, Michael Lee Firkins, or Paul Gilbert.

If you're looking for some less-shreddy but very tasteful instrumental guitar music, try Joe Satriani, Blues Saraceno, Stevie Ray Vaughn (has a distinct blues style) or John McLaughlin (who was associated with jazz-oriented acts.)

Uncategorizable great players: Steve Vai, Frank Zappa, Allan Holdsworth.

[tromblay99backup]

@MrGuitarEater Slash also has very tasty music.

[AlexWerkmeister712]

@MrGuitarEater

Good list, but FUCK YES, ZAPPA.

[misyouHP]

Fantastic reef.



[002hopper]

Hello, what a great song...does anyone know where i can download Eric Johnson's, Cliffs to Dover (studio version). i tried i-tunes and the one there is nowhere near as good, i am looking for the studio version as above.....anyone? Thanks so much

[MrGuitarEater]

@002hopper It appears on his 1990 album Ah Via Musicom. I don't use iTunes but that album should be widely available basically anywhere that sells music.

[pdt1515]

Dude is absolutely dialin' Tokyo on that effin" Strat!

[kevinhozx]

uhu i love you like music

[TattyboJangles100]

He looks like an older version of Jay off the inbetweeners :P

[fuckthis123ify]

he is dragon born

[rinaldis9]

@fuckthis123ify until he took an arrow to the knee

[omac0101]

@fuckthis123ify Can you imagine a shout that sounded like this? It would literally destroy the earth lol!

[SinOfDrkness]

Why..doesn't...THIS shyt play on the radio?! More less you got crap more famouse than this beautiful masterpiece. It's set up so perfectly why isn't this the song i hear at the superbowl half time or at new years parties or on the rock station?! Nooooo people wanna hear craap. Suit yourself more for me.

[ec688]

@SinOfDrkness This actually is played all the time on the weather channel lol

[ch1ngchung]

go on my channel and my videos if you want to see a not-so-great cover of this

[DayzOfOurLolz]

@ch1ngchung i felt tempted to flag that for spam when i saw "Go on my channel", but your modesty has prevented such. lol =D

[dreekd80]

I saw this guy live opening for Rush in 1991. He was really good and humble to boot. He was like, "Hey I know you're all here to see Rush, they'll be out soon, so I'm just going to play a couple of songs while you're waiting." This was one of them. Cool live stuff, but this is the song I'll always remember. This is the kind of song that can randomly come into my head and get stuck in there even if I've not heard it in years. Like today, which is why I'm here babbling on right now! Cheers!

[creatorofworld]

@dreekd80 What a nice guy :P

So talented too......I think the best guitarist....Completely underrated...

[BassThatGuy]

@dreekd80 who wouldn't be humbled opening for Rush ?

[SolKingGutiar98]

Such a great song, but most people that have heard of Eric Johnson have only heard this song... from guitar hero. Check out his other stuff, and support him. His other stuff is just as amazing!!!

[ultraestupido3]

they are 678 pissed off asians

[guinomolaryon]

@BrLuquinhas Yeah, This music makes me want to run out there and live my life more than never !!!

[Ciborock]

nadie habla español pero bueno, una cosa es poder tocar la guitarra y otra cosa es saberla tocar

este personaje si la conoce y la sabe interpretar gracias a dios por darnos gente que pueda crear este tipo de musica gracias

[3ricman]

ever since I played this in guitar hero, it has been one of my favorite songs. you don't get many masterminds like this guy today.

[hawk4225]

@3ricman you are so right its like one of my favorite songs to

[BRLuquinhas]

This song makes me feel more alive than ever.

[Metallicafanatic74]

A true instrumental masterpiece.

[hawk4225]

@Metallicafanatic74 your so right

[Metallicafanatic74]

@hawk4225 I hear this song and I'm like, "This guy is a TRUE guitarist!!!"

[UntitledKirk]

@ROFLcopter613 Did you know, 90% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

[senseilifesonsappren]

@ROFLcopter613 -.- Why is this even in the Top Comments?

[sommervilleTRS117]

[DrummermanMatt]

@sommervilleTRS117 Indeed.

[MarshyMusic98]

[mx3se]

[xShark795]

Fucking epic.

[sinicul]

For whatever reason my professor decided to play this on the first day of class. New fav professor.

[iancwm]

I actually just visited the cliffs of dover today, and this song was stuck in my head as i took that long hike. Best feeling in the world, really

[Alliancelane]

@redneckChexMix well, so far surely one. But really it's not like moris code. Ohh, and thank you for your comment

[Vloggirl1223]

for all you youngsters out there this is called music...

[farcry2outlaw]

@Vloggirl1223 Hey Writtle girl.

i am 16 and i love this stuff.

Shame on you.

[trickeyjamie]

@Vloggirl1223 No fucking shit, I was listening to this at the age of 12 and im 17. Chart/Mainstream music these days is pathetic.

[TheOldSpirit]

Hipster alert.

[stebbZv]

@trickeyjamie Amen.!

[xRaZ0r38]

[LilCloudd]

I use to be a guitar player just like him... then I took an arrow to the knee.

[JAWZxz]

@LilCloudd Those jokes aren't funny at all. Just stfu.

[LilCloudd]

@JAWZxz wait... I know you.

[4evermetal92]

@LilCloudd wow.  everyone says that shit nowadays

[BakeTHATCAAKE]

@LilCloudd This has nothing to do with Skyrim. You're not getting your thumbs up.

[MajBlood]

@LilCloudd Not funny, go fuck yourself.

[PsychoGirl1017]

I got into work late and my boss got angry and asked why. When I told him I lost track of time listening to this song, he got silent, then said "alright then. well don't let it happen again." now we can all hear him listening to it in his office.

[IIkHigh]

@PsychoGirl1017 your boss is awesome! LMAO!!!!!

[eswms]

@PsychoGirl1017 Amazingx)

[gellertroni]

One of the best guitar solos what I ever heard...

[Alliancelane]

I like jumping from the cliffs of dover to go surfing with aliens

[RedneckChexMix]

@Alliancelane clever - how many people actually get what you're talking about though?

[fliffler]

sometimes your happiness cant be put into words, in those moments I always say that i feel as happy as this song sounds and its close

[juaneto8]

best song ever

[strokes011185]

neigbour jokes... and skyrim gg...

[JelloOcean]

This is a great song. Not Skyrim. Leave your shitty jokes at the door, fuckfaces.

[TDuggan1998]

damn, I like skyrim... but really? I used to always comment about that, but then I took an arrow to the knee(;

[Snard111]

@TDuggan1998 Oh jesus christ come on. Someone needs to kill this meme

[warguy58]

FUS = PLAY

RO = WITH

DAH = MIND

[jaciel123able]

gracias Dios por que a alguien divinamente artistico se le ocurrio inventar estas hermozas notas amo con miedo estas notas !!!!!!!!!!!

[mikoshlord]

i first heard this song like 10years ago..then i played guitar hero, still as good as the first time i heard it, and still makes me relax like the first time

[YourRump]

This song is so cheerful and bubbly.

[vlac007]

the melody between 1.52 and 2.12 reminds me on one song...does anyone know that song ? or you can just assume which song it could be =) help pls ;)

[alahad]

@vlac007 oh yeah sounds a lot like cliffs of dover from eric Johnson... you are very welcome :)

[vlac007]

@alahad yeah man, I know that ;) but it sounds like some pop song I've heard long ago...but I can't remember the name...the melody and the rhythm are veeery similar :) but thanks on your reply ;)

[alahad]

@vlac007 you know i was being cute right? XD hahaha greets

[vlac007]

@alahad yes sir :D you could feel the irony in the air xD happy new year man ;)

[crystaljordanmario]

@vlac007 it sounds like it might be kc and jo jo.all my life.

[vlac007]

@crystaljordanmario hmm...the intro is similar to that...I think it could be the one, but I'm not sure 'cause I haven't heard the song I'm searching for a while. Anyway, thank you man, you helped me a lot ;)

[TheIceofDarkness]

@vlac007 sort of reminds me of some song in a game in xbox arcade, thats all i can come up with

[infernape667]

Dude, It's OK, I needed this to download it's in awesome quality

[MirrorsEdgeworth]

My neighbour listens to this... whether he likes it or not.

[itowedin]

That picture of Ellen DeGeneres with the orange shirt and black strat is hot!

[citioflights]

@itowedin LMAO! that was mean! but absolutly hillarious! :D

[GalihaandOtherWorlds]

Amazing. Just amazing!

[Karyu24]

Why is through the fire and the flaming homosexuals in the related videos?

[kankuro1701]

@Karyu24 Guitar hero.

[MusicWithDan]

@Karyu24 Because "rock" is tagged. Dragonforce are a rock band.

[infernape667]

@Karyu24 Haha, Good One!

[Kabuto1651]

@Karyu24 I'd be hating if it weren't so odd. Still, to answer your question, guitar hero and the supreme solos.

[BleachIBG]

I like the part where he's playing guitar.

[BeanieBoiiJames]

guitar hero is kewl, but its nothing like the real deal

[soccer739]

That sounded so much like Satriani-surfing with the alien

[warguy58]

He appears to be playing with his mind.

[feliponbombom]

How the f'--k am I supposed to do 0:22 ?!?!?!?

[DinoDyl]

@feliponbombom It's not as hard as it sounds. It's tapping.

[hipnotyq]

[FenDerMan8731]

[4everliveLizzy]

I saw this guy in san antonio at the 1st G3...amazing!

[whamases]

[MizlabeledDOTcom]

[MrGrptos]

This guy left me as a pile of dust in the wind.

[specialforces14]

i think my brain short circuited from the amazing sound

[darkblaze0100]

*-*

[XboXer2point0]

sorry 674

[XboXer2point0]

g74 dislikes!?! Whoever put those is really idiotic

[trooper5005]

[vujadae0001]

I love the way this man plays guitar.

[xBigCatx831]

reminds me of Christmas

[blkreap3r]

i just started listening to this guy. how the hell can he be this phenomenal a guitarist and also be proficient in several other practices? haha...

[jnovica]

Amazing! Like flying in thru the clouds

[PotaoDude]

I picked up guitar thanks to Guitar Hero II, and my musical tastes were highly influenced by it. I was into Rise Against and Coldplay, now I love GN'R, Motley Crue, and Motorhead as well. There is nothing wrong with Guitar Hero, or the people who play it, until they start saying that Guitar Hero is more difficult than real guitar.

[BannedLol4l]

@PotaoDude Actually I'd say guitar is easier... I play guitar but I suck at Guitar Hero lol

[ahsdjsdgfhjgdhhhhhhh]

HAHAHAHAHAHA fun as hell!

[Julianduncanmusic]

Ahh. He must be dragonborn.

[Phophorousbronze]

Love that comment! What a great jammer!
