Eric Johnson - Phraseology

[TheLimpCottonToeBook]

Eric's tone is amazing!

[The19763]

1:47 harmonist?

[JollyDeacs11]

he is so amazing...I have no idea what he is talking about or could even follow his teaching. he is funny because he is not a very good teacher but an amazing person and player...Man!

[wickedwizardofspeed]

i can't believe two people disliked this. Eric is such an amazing musician.

[scat311]

the Midas touch

[horacrux]

he has such a tight sound.What video is this from?

[horacrux]

he has such a tight sound

[myonlydanger]

Yeah...

Just using open strings and grace notes will make your phrasing sound that good.

He explains almost nothing that he is doing.

Ha ha ha

[ARAUZ1625]

@myonlydanger i think that this video teaches you on how to make youre own patterns using scales, techniques and arpeggios as tools and try connecting them together

[LIVEtoROCK86]

The most beautiful style in rock

[thericecrispy2]

Who in the fuck would dislike such wisdom?

[TwoBitSodapop]

thumbs up if you would pay a million bucks for his tone

[guitarist8688]

His Clean tone is amazing.

[tomguitarr]

who here gets influenced to go play guitar, picks it up and to only find you will never play this like he does :'-(

[Wiltonibanez]

@tomguitarr kind of - but eric's a clever guy - he knows the theory, thats a good pointer in the right direction ;-)

[Goynes42]

@tomguitarr Don't worry about it. Be influenced by it, pick up a thing or two, and then go find a way to play guitar like YOU do.

[choganskateboarding]

@tomguitarr Not with that attitude you won't!

[peccoz]

'let's slow that one down' ... ZOOOOOOOOOM

[deadline27]

all this from a guy who had an album called "tones" and he uses the same tone on every song on it for his leads lol :)

[dienonbeliever]

ERIC JOHNSON ,ONE OF MY HEROS!!!

[MainTightSqueeze]

"... add some certain notes."

That was a whole solo as far as I'm concerned... "...let's slow that one down." LOL

Wonderful guitarist

[6672rock]

One of the few players I can think of who does an excellent job of combining chops with tasty melodies. He's not just flash for the sake of it, but uses it tastefully, which separates him from the rest of the pack. "Cliffs Of Dover" is one of my favorite instrumentals of all time.

[Hypnus9]

I can't think of one thing that EJ does that I don't like.

[Roland1232]

Why you goan beat on dat guitar like dat, Eric? It ain't dun nuttin to you.

[wstreetlyf]

i have no idea what hes doign but it sounds awesome

[HyperfastMalmsteen]

gee..damn his tone settings sucks..is like underwater or something...delay delay delay-...but i bet this would only sound mellow good when smoking joint...But have you ever heard MALMSTEEN when you are in the fucking zone??.BEST FEELING EVER!"

[2bored4school]

@HyperfastMalmsteen

I like his tone. For playing clean anyways.

[PikachuOfficial]

@HyperfastMalmsteen i love eric johnson even though all of the other top players have talent no one surpasses this guy. even vai and satriani dont stand a chance against eric. im starting to think ej isnt human.

[TheDark91]

What's the font of "The art of Guitar"?

I MUST KNOW

[pyromohanzed]

Just do a screen dump and write out the rest of the letters and scan them and make your own font in photoshop.

[piccicacca]

GOSH ! i can almost hear joe bonamassa here ! WOW .

[pyromohanzed]

If tone => sound quality , then what => video quality ?

[piccicacca]

@pyromohanzed comment => what????

[pyromohanzed]

I am doing research into visual music and how our senses combine to form our understanding of the activities in music. I just want to hear about various peoples' opinion on what is the equivalent of tone in the visible spectrum rather than in the audible spectrum ;; that is, our eyes rather than our ears.

[piccicacca]

@pyromohanzed huh? i assess music in equal parts. i don't combine them. so count me in as part of the ear group in your research.

[monomoo1]

GOD

[Nurjamizal]

i like this... ;-)

thnx to eric

[whoopgnash]

play all day, you'll never match his tone and style. really cool advice and inspiring too! thank you-

[blondiebabae]

Man, if you were to watch him without hearing it you wouldn't be able to tell how good he is... Maybe it's a youtube syncing\framerate thing, but his ring and pinky look like they are flopping around like a struggling metalhead...

He has amazing phrasing and touch, but he looks sloppy, what a trip

[biasedpoet]

noodle-ology not to be confused with super-noodle-ology - which is, on the whole, bad for you!

TIP: It's all about he hand position!

[highsociey]

dont get me rong he is amazing but after a little wile his tone gives me a head ache

[llwayneio]

finally someone else that thinks this, i find it feels like glass stabbing at my brain lol.

[MetalPwnerer66666]

flow god

[antillmusic]

ha ha ha ... even though you got rated down it is stating the obvious. Still like this guy though, he's digging into his music.

[DrDeathPM]

He's not gay, he has a wife :P Although it doesn't help that he sort of looks like David Hyde Pierce :P

[highsociey]

LOL hes just mellow

[n2motocross]

Eric is one helluva nice guy. If you ever get to meet him, He will make you feel like you have known him for years as a good friend.

What a great human being.

[steviers123]

@n2motocross I got to meet him in Iowa City and he was so nice and really cool. Thats why hes my guitar hero. Because he is a great player and person.

[n2motocross]

@steviers123 Congrats! and very true! :)

[Sailjunkie61]

Awesome! Fluid is the word that comes to my mind...Rock on Eric!

[amangonecrazy]

u wont expect him saying fuck in his videos! thts what i like about him

[MastaRoyal]

sweetness!

[Xmalibur]
