Wow, the flamed tiger srtiping on that maple neck and headstock is utterly stunning with tone to match. I can see why EJ has gravitated to playing on these signature models more and more over the older strats even as magical as they are.
@PGingey that's such a stupid fucking statement. my 8 year old brother could "arguably" be the best guitar player ever. you can argue anything. it doesn't mean anything
@amart7 are you retarded? it was simply a preposition that eric johnoson is one of the best if not the best. you have no fucking place degrading my comment. I bet you're some little 13 year old bitch that thinks he's cool by causing shit on the internet. gtfo son.
Perfect technician, great sound...if ever there was an example of how to make life easy for yourself and sound great this has to be it.....I must be trying to hard, Mmmmmm..!
they are called harp harmonics. he is dragging his index finger over the notes one octave up from the chord and picking the strings with his ring finger and pinky. its a hard technique to get smooth but its possible with enough patience and practice!
It's known by several names. Harp Harmonics or pinch harmonics or false harmonics. It's not as difficult as you may think but it does take some practice to get it right. Start out by lightly plucking the 12th fret without fretting. That's a "normal" harmonic. Then fret any note and lightly touch twelve frets up from the fretted note and pluck. Coordinate your movements up and down the neck always touching and plucking 12 frets from the fretted notes. It can be done using a pick as well.
FUCK YOU ERIC!!!

"Start out by lightly plucking the 12th fret without fretting." I meant lightly TOUCHING the string at the 12th fret while plucking. sorry.
