  • Eric Johnson is no doubt a great great player but he's definitely having off night. Don't get me wrong he still kicked ass in this performance but was no doubt off his A-game here!

  • Comment removed

  • what reason for he sucks in this video?

  • @leandroplayergame22 the reason is the cam quality

  • can any one tell me the settings of clifs of dover, i cant find it any where, i know reverb and delay but i want the xact setting for every knob, thanks :D

  • He's not in the zone in this performance.

  • @JaGreat holistic bands are---Melting Euphoria, Ozric Tentacles, Gong, Mother Gong, Acid Mother's Gong, Magma, Aphrodities Child, Jade Warrior, Steve Tibbetts, Patrick Bernard, Lost at Last, Larry Coryell, Shakti, Oregon, Kazumi Watanabe, Toninho Horta, Egberto Gismonti, Eat Static, System 7, Lisa Gerrard, Dead Can Dance, Magma, Sphongle, Bill Laswell, Stomu Yamashta, Here and Now band, Steve Hillage. deAxon

  • was eric johnson the guitarist in kenny at toilet convention

  • he sucked there. but he is a genius cus wrote it :)

  • Fer Chrissake, he's a master of technique, imagination, sound, phrasing. Give me half of his talent, I would also be making a living in music. The fact that he can get onstage with Satch and Vai *might* kind of indicate that he's a heavyweight musician with every right to be in their company. If someone doesn't like his vibe, they should look up someone else on YouTube.

  • @EllJayAitch I'd say he can play more beautifully than Satriani or Vai. He can play better music at the same speed, anyone who wants proof should check out the 1990 performance. I'd like to see any other guitarist do what he does at 9:17 in that video.

  • lmao the ending sounded so country

  • if you want to listen to the same song as in the cd then go listen to the cd.

  • Hehe, not to be rude or something.. but actually the videolength tells us about the 4-5 minute-improvisations ^^

    I love it though

  • i love this song

    it makes me so happy :-)

  • i love erick

  • He didn't do too bad this time. I have nothing against improv, but I think he goes a bit overboard with it, sometimes. The 5 minute intros are annoying. Otherwise, good job.

  • RobertELee01 = Epic fail.

  • it´s fantastic

  • Eric Johnson: The best of the best (L)

    Leila Arrondo.

  • he's improvising in all his preformances u smacktards, WOW 1 note that where he slipps with his finger, who cares? :P

  • cooooool

  • Eric is a very good improvisor.

    why you are again him???

    i can change he's own music as he want it no matter what you think about him.

    i only say i love he's style :P

  • lol noticed no one note mach :D

  • He's playing the wrong notes at 4:10 xD

  • If you are a really good guitar player you don't play after notes, then you improvise instead. And for the record, if it's his song , how can he play i wrong?

  • your such a newb. Eric Johnson can play His song antway he wants and improves it different every time. Playing the same version every gig since 1988 would get pretty boring.

  • dude everytime im seeing a video of eric or satriani or petrucci theres always one guy that says he sucks or shit like that y dude i mean u are from sweden ure not like us , americans, we are douchebags thats y in every country they hate us i think its a good thing they improvise i think that adds some magic to that songs dont u think the same

  • Yes, I do think that improvising can add to the song.

    But when it just doesnt sound right, it just doesnt and therefore I was a douche and commented it. :)

  • ...im confused on what you just wrote..

  • Oh, come on. Can't I watch ANY clips of Cliffs without some ass hat guitarist wanna be telling people how to live their lives? No one tells YOU to go act out what you watch on a movie, nor does anyone tell you to sneak around like Solid Snake, so ffs, stop telling GH players to go play a real guitar.

  • And for the record, I hate touching that 6-stringed monstrosity because most guitarists think that they are so awesome, evident in most comments found on great guitar songs.

    I play the 4 stringed lower frequented variant though. :P

  • so i play guitar hero and i totally desagree with that dumbass whos called papafux ¬¬

    He doesn't have the capacity to know the difference of a Real Guitarris to a Video Game. And papafux , many people and I , done this music in 100% in expert , different of you , that only now can play in hard.

  • hell yeah! bass all the way! im actually a guitarist, but i still love my bass :)

  • me too, bass fuckersssss

  • Guitar Hero is a brilliant game

    IT knows that

    This is a great song

    IT knows that

    Theres a difference between GH and real guitaring

    EVERONE should know that

    btw, i play bass too

    YERRR

  • Kids that play Guitar Hero and think that they are AWESOME are stupid.

    But for you people who ACTUALLY play guitar that keep arguing with these GH losers. It doesn't make you any better.

    Shut up and play your REAL guitar. Let the GH wannabes do their thing.

  • fender owns!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • I'm sure people playing guitar hero did well.

    Favor 2 gh players, try the one with strings!!!(except for those who've tried it and is good)

  • Dude, chill out. People who play guitar hero probably just want the thrill of playing guitar in a band without having to stress out and learn a new thing. They cant learn it either because they work, they dont have time, or just want to play the songs they love.

    Myabe people play it because they want to play with their friends. You can learn Guitar hero in a day, you cant learn real guitar for at LEAST a month, probably more. And people just wanna play the songs they like.

  • I play Guitar Hero because i can't efford a real guitar..

  • Er... nowadays a real guitar is cheaper than a copy of guitar hero + instruments.

    You can get a decent Ibanez for like $150

  • For 150? Ummm NO. You can't.

  • :V Well I got a customized ibanez for around $200 so :V

  • Care to let me know what the MODEL is?

  • Then that makes GH 3 the lazy man's way out of learning a real craft. How many kids won't learn to play the real thing because GH 3 is easier? Seriously, there's a generation of great guitarists that may never be because GH 3 was easier and it was instant gratification. We've done that with responsibility in this country and music is sacred to me. I don't want to see the guitar go the way of mortgages now, where you don't actually have to take responsibility. Maybe my POV makes sense now?

  • @monkeydude1313 the difference is, you could actually get quite good in a day at guitar hero, and master it in x months, there ain't no thing as mastering the guitar

  • You know, folks, I'm sure Guitar Hero is fun. I refuse to try it myself.

    But for anyone to bother mentioning their score on a damn video game when the pinnacle of guitar talent is playing before you is just a slap in the face.

  • Why there's always somebody saying other people what they should do with their life??

    I'm so sick of people like this...

    Let everybody be free to spend or waste their life the way they want!!

    BTW this song has become MUCH MORE KNOW since it's in GuitarHero , and that's a fact

  • What I'm sick of are GH3 fans trolling places like this where REAL music fans go and pretending like they're guitarists that can actually play anything or think that they know what they're talking about. It's a game, not the same thing as the real thing. It's a shame to think our next Eric Johnson may never be because of the instant gratification of a video game. It's the easy way out and I'm sick of people in this society taking the easy road. GH 3 is a shortcut around learning to play.

  • I wonder if you get all bitter and twisted when you see little kids playing tee-ball.

    When was it decided that someone who plays Guitar Hero can't possibly be a music fan?

  • True that!

  • wow how is guitar hero even being compared to how much ass that song just kicked his live version is ten times better then the guitar hero version

  • shut up everyone EJ wouldnt want people arguin over a stupid game here! just enjoy the music while it's still around and rap doesnt replace it all.

  • cliffs of dover!!!

  • This guy is unfucking believeable. I watched him when I was 13 and I'm still blown away 18 years later at how good he is.

  • shut up and visit some stupid guitar "hero" blog or something. There's a real player in the video. God I'm sick of this stupid game.

  • what are you weirdos geeking on about? wankers.

  • sam is a fatass

  • They gave him a guitar that wasnt tuned

    OMG!!!

  • E.J. que bien !!!!!

  • gh3 omg hello this is really guitar soo much harder than it get a life and play it on proper guitar then tell him to do better

  • clearly all irony is lost on you.

    bell-end.

  • you're right.

    by the way, kerry is a girl's name.

    are you a girl?

  • Yeah i am

    lol

  • Dont call him a bellend mate, if you unlocked the videos on GH3 you would know that Slash himself even states that playing guitar is a whole different and unique experience, whereas guitarhero is just a way for him to relax and chill... And I agree with Kerry, dont complain until you can play it...

  • i've got an idea - why don't you and kerry2572 meet up. You can put your penis in his bumhole, push it in and out a little bit and get 98% on expert level as bumhole heroes...

    nice

    the cliffs over dover won't be the only white thing in your house that night.

  • Roflmao, first off, how mature of you...

    Secondly.. If you are comparing his skills on a 'real guitar' to 'a piece of plastic with wires in' then you really need your head checking.

  • fancy going on a date?

    x

  • you need your balls checking.

    i can check them for you if you want...

  • i wanna join

  • hahaha. Awesome dude

  • What are you talking about. He's the "Guitar Hero" quote unquote that gave you this genius song

  • Haha I laughed when I read that about papafaux doing ''better'' on GH. LOL! Ooo I can get 97% on Medium so you should be able to play an extremely complex song of riffs and solos like a snap of your finger with that untuned guitar! LOL But seriously. EJ is epic. SLASH OWNS TOO! :D

  • 'LOL' it up big boy, i'm getting pretty tasty on hard level now. eric has nothing on me.

    hey, i like the sound of your spunkiness. reckon you can take on a real man like me? i'd love us to have a nice sweaty wrestle, i can't promise i won't try to touch you inappropriately though.

    it's your name - 'BubbleParadox' that attracted me, so playful but ultimately mysterious...

    come on sexy bollocks, let me know.

    kisses,

    PF

  • guys. this is a real musician up here. when you guys can pick up real guitars and play like Eric Johnson, then I'll leave you alone.

  • Stop wasting your time on a stupid game and pick up a real guitar. It takes about the same amount of practice. Good God I hate GH! It is doing to the guitar what World of Warcraft did to people!

  • you sound like you need a cuddle.

  • hahahahahaah "pick up a real gitar" you talk right dude !

  • fuck you and your shitty guitar hero.

  • Wow... you passed TFAF on expert.. You feel that you have completed the goal of your life? Who the fuck cares if you can do that... Almost everyone can pass that song..

    You at life = Epic Failure.

  • you're turning me on with all this talk of wrestling. you must be very dextrous with all this guitar hero experience too - strong and with good hands.

    the thought of you in your spandex all in one and your fiddly fingers is getting me rather hot you sexy brute.

    fancy pinning me down and pressing my buttons on expert level some time?

  • holy crap, its a game. get the hell over it.

  • Who came first? Was it Hulk Hogan?

  • god i love his improvs

  • 4:10

    HE LOST HIS COMBO! D :

  • LOL

  • hahahaha lol!!!!!!!

  • any link we can dl this video please ? =)

  • is it just me, or in the studio version he's like a split of a split second faster then the beat

  • dude ium drunk

  • Fuck it. He's a genious, like Cazuza, Renato Russo and Freddy Mercurie were

  • yea well that gay man is a genius and an inspiration

  • hehehe^^

    Idiot

  • idiot selv :D

  • Liberachi (I know that's not spelled right, and I don't care to look up the actual spelling) was gay too, doesn't mean he wasn't talented. Elton John is very gay, and he's talented... Nuts, but talented. I wish I could play this well!

  • well you can go be gay with him then.

  • So his son who died is adopted?

  • rofl.

  • Yea first time not going to do it again.. But who cares if he is gay he is still an awesome guitarist

  • He's not gay you shithead

    Eric Johnson is Introvert

    Maybe next time, think about who cares about you sissy

  • Did I say he was gay?

  • LOL

  • No it was his son Conner, whom was an illegitimate child that he had with a famous model.

  • I know this but I they were talking about Eric Clapton at first and if they have been then Eric Clapton could not have had a child.

  • freddie mercury was gay, but he was a legend!! and still is!

  • the song grishhh is normal ^^

  • Eric Johnson is amazing

  • How can you hate him?

  • I think he was being sarcastic

  • on what level?

  • eric johnson is a legend

  • Wow... I can't belive people can compare guitarrist like Eric Johnson and Tom Morello it's totally different kind of music so please respect each one differently and stop mixing.

    I think both are awesome and every musician has something different that we have to appreciate.

  • it kinda sounds like he rushed through it

  • did he miss a note on 4:10? He is still awesome man..

  • ha! i heard that too :-) but as said ^^ what a guy

  • chills...

  • my saco vo solta uma bonbada aki e vai todo mundo pro savo

     By: Peixão

  • he plays beautifully

  • Eric Johnson is the best

  • Esta rola esta genial, de las mejores ke existen, genial Eric Johnson, estupenda kancion!

  • u no what people, gh re-inspired me to pick up a guitar again, i found my love for guitar again, and i no its just buttons, but gh is a waysome people get inspired to like rock and pick up an instrament, i used to be die hard rap fan but now i love heavy metal and rock, so dont knock guitar hero, its not ment to be a guitar game, its a game with a guitar shped controller and color ful buttons, and nothing else

  • Damn right. The game makes me want to go out and buy a guitar and amp to learn how to really play guitar.

  • guitar heros fun but it cant compare to real guitar,.... and i agree,. millions of people would have no idea who tom morrello or slash was if they werent included in guitar hero

  • slash aint the greatist guitarist eva, there are loads of lots of great guitarists.

  • I guess is notmal not to know who slash is... if you've been in mars behind a rock for the last 20 years

  • lol even peeps in mars should kbow who slash is

  • Actually, the first time I ever heard of Slash was because the translators of Chrono Trigger turned three mid-boss joke characters into rock references. Since then, though, I've been grateful of the introduction.

    Not everyone is a musical erudite, and not all music fans know every important figure in every musical genre. Especially those who weren't into music during said figure's heyday. But Slash's public profile has raised quite a bit recently, and we're well aware of the reason why.

  • K i like a few songs by Rage, know morrello from that. and you pretty much live under a rock if you dont know who slash is.

  • ok im just saying you shouldnt walk into the music scene thinkin ur a know it all when ur knowledge comes from a video game where u press colored buttons. And alphabit, i have a life so tahts why im not good at the game that looks like the controller is supposed to be in a baby's crib. I play normal guitar tho, infact i can play cliffs of dover, so good for u if u can hit 5 buttons fast enough to beat it on the game but try 6 strings X 24 frets.

  • That is such an amazing sound on the guitar. Anyone ideas about amp settings?

    Stop bickering about a pointless game and appreciate the man for what he's good.

  • Probably a very small amount of distortion on the amp, I haven't figured out what to put the highs, meds, and lows at yet though....

  • He has a DS-1 that has been modded and is on almost all the time (even during the clean channel) It's some weird way to get better tone. He also uses a big muff pedal for his solo's. I was lucky enough to be right in front of him at a show in Canada. His tone is awesome. Sounds like there is some compression as well. That really helps note sing like that

  • ESPax250emg8185, I believe the same.

    Alexi Laiho is ftw too.

    CoB Ftw.

    but dont hate cause they discover new musical tastes over a game.

    So chill man.

  • Why do all people try to rate guitar players? Every player in a musical dimension like Eric Johnson is beyond every rating. You all just flag yourselves as noobs...

  • You're damm right, i couldn't agree more (sorry for my english)

  • mab..?

  • There is noone who can be called the best guitar player.

  • THANK YOU!!!

  • tom morello sucks

  • tom morello doesn't have anything 2 do with this vid and besides, hes better then you will ever be and insulting him wont get you anywhere.

  • tom morello doesnt suck. he has his own style of music. and eric johnson has his style. they're both brilliant at what they do.

  • most of u fuckin idiots would have no idea who tom morello is if u didnt paly fuckin gay ass guitar hero, pick up a real guitar and respect real good guitarists like alexi laiho, kerry king, zack wylde, and yngvie malmsteen

  • oh k seriousily stfu just cause u suck at guitar hero doesnt mean u can put the game down ^. ^

  • no, shooting a gun is just pressing a button and you kill something or someone, guitar is not about pressing buttons

    the same with gh you just press color buttons and pull a fkin thing thats supposed to be a string

    if real guitar was like that everyone would be good at doing that

  • gh is a game and a real guitar isnt get over it no1 is trying to say they aint mate so stfu and for your information i play bass

  • yum, fish.

  • good on you.

    Stop gawping at a shitty game.

    I preferred this game anyway when it was called Dance Dance revolution. Not Cock Rock till you drop hero.

  • And Kirk Hammet! =p

  • sweeeeet but watch up 2 3:00

  • great

  • great

  • kjt... wtf??? lame comeback
