i really love this type of music arrangement, can some one tell me what tittle of this song(instrumental)? , by the way, thanks for those who reply my question & lol, 5 star rating for this, thanks for posting..great.
Incredible as always! EJ keeps dreams alive! He is one of a couple guitarists I find that play the acoustic guitar with a pick and finger combo with the right hand. Pure finger style is nice but ultimately requires finger nails of some sort to reach full potential, EJ demos that a pick/finger combo can do much magic too!
FanrayMedia: I agree...a lot of people assume that to play like Jerry Reed, Chet Atkins, etc., that you must use a thumb pick (or no pick at all) but Eric Johnson and a few others help to prove that you can pull off songs like this using hybrid picking. In fact, Brad Paisley does that all the time as well!
@insaneguitarfreak Yeah--I'd really love for Johnson and Paisley to do one rock instrumental together and one country instrumental together, since both of them are so great at playing both genres! As for Johnson playing with Tommy Emmanuel, I don't think the law would allow that! I mean, Emmanuel is already absolutely stunning on his own and to hear him play with another great guitarist would be insane...though I do love Emmanuel's album that was by him and Chet Atkins.
@wileypayote Yep...the EJ tribute that Paisley did is called "Cliffs of Rock City." It's one of my personal favorite instrumentals of Paisley's though, to be quite honest, I love all of his instrumentals--the country ones, the rock ones, the blues ones and the jazz ones!
I would love to see Eric Johnson and Brad Paisley do a collaboration...maybe two instrumentals--one being rock and one being country.
@Xcorgi Yes, because being able to play country, jazz, blues and rock as well as Paisley does makes you untalented! You should open up your mind a bit so you can appreciate some different guitarists.
And, for the record, I didn't compare Paisley to Johnson. All I did was mention Paisley's tribute to Johnson and state that it was in that overall style.
And, just for the record, both Paisley and Johnson are great guitarists.
@Xcorgi sounds to me like badfinger848 maybe never saw Paisley play in person. If they had they wouldn't say he's a no talent turd...that's plain stupid.
Awesome!

Sounds empty and anemic without thumbpicking. You really need heavy strings and a heavy thumb to fill in the sound.

This is a great tribute to Jerry Reed by one of rock's finest guitarists.
For all you Eric Johnson fans, you should check out country guitar virtuoso Brad Paisley's tribute to Johnson called "Cliffs of Rock City."
It'd be pretty awesome for Johnson and Paisley to do a song together!

@badfinger848
that would be very cool!! now imagine Eric with Tommy Emmanuel... that would be total devastation, destruction and abuse of guitar ^^
(btw, cliffs of rock city is amazing! thanks for the recommendation)
