Riff Of The Week™ - Season 4,Ep5: Inspired By Eric Johnson

[charmister]

When EJ associates the notes of his melody with its chord I'd have to say is a pretty "Jazz" thing to do and it's really essential to knowing where your melody is going and how to build up on it.

[AhYaOk]

I had the privilege of catching a G3 show w/ Mr. Johnson and Adrian Legg in DC many years ago. It was the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life!
