I'd like to take every person who has left a negative comment about this video, give them a guitar, and ask them to play this piece. Something tells me none of them would even touch this guy.
But one thing I'd recommend, is to use your thumb for the octaves. It gives it that authentic Wes Montgomery sound. Also, work on your Harp harmonics. Apart from that, you're way ahead of all of us!
I just listened to GG version and didn't like it. thought his timing was out or it could be from a delay/slapback making me thing that. I wnt to watch another and it's the same. GG's timing is out, he plays behind the beat. This guys is much better.
@littlegoobie Of course. For me, the bad GG is Gustavo Guerra. The good one is Guthrie Govan. Check Wonderful Slippery thing from Guthrie Govan. THen check Guerra's cover. It's the worst cover ever, but he's still great at a lot of points
again,well played,i assumed you've seen eric's guitar instruction videos,
no hard feelings man,but you must learn to play the classical harmonic technique in the song, otherwise it's incomplete,i think you understand what i am saying
@MrDude2626 But this guy has originals --' please search before saying somthing absolutly stupid...this guy was guitar idol in 2009, he has a band and your comment was completly irrational.
So if I practice a lot just to show of to my friends that means that I won't get anywhere? --'
@MrDude2626 Do some research you pitiful prick. You judge him by this song only. You're jealousy is very obvious. Get a life and quit ruining youtube!!!!
todo mundo sabe que o Eric Johnson's é exigente ao extremo quando falamos de sonoridade e trimbre. mas acho que este cover ele aprovaria. muito bom, cara.estou tocando esta musica,estou no 80° compasso.
@MichaelJacksonSpin Listen to the music and forget what he's doing. When you listen to a record you don't care about facial expressions. By the way, Eric Johnson seems to be bored and always looks down the neck.

@jmj5150 what are you? hiding in a cave! look man! you think it's fake? when he even Won a title guitar idol? what hell get a life man! eric johnson is one reason why he is playing guitar!
@nikkolightcrips19 I know he won Guitar Idol and just like Eric Johnson they play boring music and makes me feel like i am listening to Walgreens, Walmart, CVS background shopping music. Of course, will a due respect to E Johnson and Jack is not him so dont get confused.
Kudos Jack!. You go it to almost perfection.. from tone, feel and touch. You are truly an inspiration to many young aspiring Asian guitar players. All the best!
é eu esutdei os harmonicos e aprendi.. só tem que aprender a fazer os harmonicos aqueles.. e ja era. é facil.. só aparenta ser dificil.. voce apenas delizou o dedo em cima do acorde.. nao apareceu nenhum harmonico.. mas voce é excelente mesmo assim.
Espetacular Jack, o que você fez é para poucos, amo essa música e como músico sua interpretação foi perfeita.
Vejo que você é um grande guitarrista Deus abençoe sua vida, continue assim postando vídeos para nós amadores da boa música vermos que é possível chegar lá!
the perfection is what's wrong with it. he's playing it note for note from TAB! EJ plays it dfferently EVERYTIME! the TAB is just a copy of what he did in one moment in time.
getting sick of these TABBERS. TABBING is NOT playing!
