[Azaereth2]

Its not total electric guitar....its total electric rape!

[QuantumGh0st]

Eric Johnson: The most beautiful Hair ever.

[stew918]

He makes that strat sound like it has humbuckers on it.

[zips28]

i want the whole video where can i get it??

[IronFabianSteel]

who is this blessed talent?

[fguka]

the king of tone

[MarkInEugene]

Wow....just a few licks and chords....and I'm mesmerized.  Such a gifted artist...my favorite guitarist....no doubt!

[AdventOctober]

So far ahead of his time

[MusquitoRepellent]

this is what you call tone

[davifernandeslima01]

baron von TONE

[rampage222555]

TONE!

[djon34]

:47 was Lenny Breau harmonics. Tommy Emmanuel is a master at those as well.

[XavSch]

cleaner than a nun's vagina

[reanimator9]

@XavSch hahaahha XD

[SilenTaSSASINsAlient]

i love this model of Fender

[mastertwig0]

1:07 jimi sliiiddeee

[fretshredder96]

alright the fuck did he do at 0:47 i need to know some one help!!!

[junkahmad888]

@fretshredder96

i think it's called...dominating.

but seriously...look up creating false or "pinch" harmonics.

[fretshredder96]

@junkahmad888 ight thanks man ik what pinch harmonics are but ej's are just so godly you dont recognize them i guess haha

[simplebob100]

being an avid guitar player and someone who has searched the musical world inside out ,i have come to think EJ as the most refined and musically gifted player i have come across,and it aint even close:p he's way out in front...only other player that would come close is shawn lane imo

[kristofor12345]

Eric Johnson is perhaps the best shredder, or at least the most creative. He somehow is able to make his quadruple time licks chill.

[Jamsessionroom1337]

He just uses overdrive? That's how he gets that distortion or is it something else... because seriously...that tone is crazy, and that playing is insane...

[devilsinheavenvideos]

@Jamsessionroom1337 Search You Tube for Rig Rundown - Eric Johnson 

[Jamsessionroom1337]

@devilsinheavenvideos I think i've seen that but to be honest, it's way too much money for someone who doesn't have the skill yet to have it.

I wanted a marshall amp, that's as much as i know, and that fractal pre amp that like 2K... it's actuallly pretty badass, seeing as tosin abasi, and eric johnson use it, i'm convinced.

[mrJazzyJeffy]

@devilsinheavenvideos that wont work he switched rig since then

[Goof995]

@Jamsessionroom1337 He's using an old 60's Fuzz pedal

[TheRealrocker74]

@Jamsessionroom1337 lot more than just overdrive man. Lots of amps. Stompboxes running through his amp FX loops. Pedal board in front of him. It's quite complex actually.

[stebbZv]

@Jamsessionroom1337 i hear a little bit of distortion, plenty of reverb and some delay.

[Dethincarnate224]

@Jamsessionroom1337 it all comes from the mullet my boy.

[bonchie1]

@Jamsessionroom1337 It's a lot simpler then you'd think. A delay, fuzz, and a good overdrive to hit the fuzz with will get you 95% of the way there.

[bonchie1]

@Jamsessionroom1337 Oh yeah, and roll the tone back on your guitar and cut the treble at the amp some. Huge factor in his tone.

[kingster911]

He is such a unique player. He's got a great chorus-y tone through everything and just makes it sing on leads, but at the same time a lot of the chords and fingerpick type of stuff he does that sounds so layered is like a mini symphony in one.

[squishy95dreams]

i still think he should have stuck with his signature fender strat cause hardware counts too look at the diiference between Erics' Fender pick-ups and Erics' Ibanez pick-ups

[xboxallday97]

4 people are sad cuz they cant play this let alone guitar hero

[FilitosCDM]

Trail of tears !

[GreenDistantStar]

4 people have bananas stuck in their ears.

[ovationaward]

Has anyone got the transcription for this part of the video?

maninc@comcast.net...

thanks for the post

[wilasco2]

You cut the video before he could say "God"

[tedmguitar]

this is a great instructional video. i absolutely love the intro to it. thanks for posting

[tehawes0mesauce]

anyone know what kind of pickups he uses? i've never heard a strat sound so good.

[DANIXEL12]

Hey do someone know whats the last 4 chords ):

[gojirason]

@mariocaster63 its 4 people.

[drgnslyr1962]

@gojirason 3 Weeks ago it was one.

[danielkulikov]

Damn, I love guitarists who stuck to their roots and didn't turn into absolute shredders like Vai or Malmsteen...that bit of blues that Eric has really brings his music up a notch, without being the traditional blues player who justifies how bad they are with "It's blues, man, I'm supposed to play slow."

[Jamsessionroom1337]

The fucked up thing....he's just messing around....

[educassiano]

Quite an underrated muscian these couple few years then and now, deserves more.

[Dascalmer]

Such beautiful tone.

[cryolysis]

the three people who don't like this should die in a fire ......one of the underrated grates of his / our time

[J0rdanBennett]

@cryolysis He's ont underrated. He's amazing and anyone who knows anything knows that.

[TheArmin666]

dont fucking interrupt eric johnson

[RobTheMisfit]

KILLER MULLET!!

[wentkat]

Two people are deaf AND blind.

[bigmack209]

he divided by zero at 1:50...

[jaymzelas]

By far the best strat tone ever, clean or dirty. His playing ability is out of this world, He plays planetonics, they sure don't sound like the run of the mill pentatonics you here all the time. A true one of a kind Guitar Maestro.

[corizojoe]

EJ you get me every furkin time!



[Twanger73]

Everything he plays is always so musical...you never ever hear him just noodling.

[spiritualeggnog]

I gotta get the sheet music or tab for this!

[aw100626]

2 TONE TONY COULDNT HAVE A BETTER TONE AND I BET HE'S A TONIN' SON OF A BITCH!!!!

[stonelenny]

Mr Tone!!

[TwoBitSodapop]

Even if there was no audio, I'd watch it just to watch his hands. Can't quite place it, but there's something beautiful about his picking technique. It's so fluid and deliberate. Eric's the man!

[joe1969812]

@mariocaster63 lt was probably like Lil Wayne or some shit.

[choochoodacat]

If you know what your doing then it's beautiful to you. To me it's noise. please don't use misleading vid titles or I'll begin to suspect you're a yank

[room128]

His tone just sizzles, man. He has a truly unique sound and style. Not many guitarists do.

[stratpack05]

DAMN! He's awesome!

[cactification]

He is one hell of an inspirational musician.

Thats for sure.
