Eric Johnson Interview - Up Close at Saucer Studios - part 1

[fretbored1974]

Music makes us feel (or look) young(er). That's evident of EJ!

[supermashriq]

He's 57. Where does he keep the fountain of youth?

[69treta]

This guy is fucking awesome.

[91soccerguy]

eric johnson chooses his clothes based on how they're going to affect his tone

[DethByMyIbanezAxe]

He thinks he hasn't reinvented the electric guitar? Little does he know...

[dennisdullea]

Eric has always been my biggest hero. I have always been amazed at his guitar work, and I have been a Blues/Hendrix player for over 40 years myself. I met him once at "Heart of Texas" music store in Austin. I was living in my car, and I was hanging around that store playing guitar one day & he came in and said..."Nice Hendrix" He talked to me for several minutes and was incredibly nice to me. I saw him again 3 weeks later in the same store, and he remembered my name. I was AMAZED! Dennis Dullea

[TornPaperYoyos]

[TristanBarton]

[Jamsessionroom1337]

[Nebula1941]

this man is my ALL TIME hero!!!!! AMAZING!!!!

[lonestar7703]

GET THE ALBUM "ALIEN LOVE CHILD". ITS A LIVE ALBUM FROM 1990. JUST INCREDIBLE. If you are a fan of Eric Johnson, you will not be able to put another album on for months.

[oilkills]

Eric also discovered Shawn Lane at the age of 12!!!

He knew...

[jesse1291]

Eric doesn't age

[jesse1291]

Dang he looks so good for his age

[JackDawsonRMS]

his guitar sounds like its farting!

[BOOLsheet]

most underrated guitarist out there. the guy is just a complete musician and doesn't get enough credit for how good he really is because people try to compare him to shredders and other players who aren't even in the same genre

[cactification]

Its great that he is sharing so much of what happens behind the scenes of career and equipment!

We even get to see his sense of humour on occassions.

[jr55ful]

the man just reeks of class!

[SoundMusicVideo]

[xjustxkidsx]

[DavidMackey11]

"But I don't like to do anything fast."

HA! Except play extremely fast. haha. :P

[hogwild6161]

The last minute of this clip tells me everything that I need to know about Eric Johnson. One of the best to ever pick a guitar, and STILL, he's trying to get that ultimate tone. I feel blessed to be able to listen to someone this good, but yet, as humble as one can be. He will be written about hundreds of years from now, in the history of music.

[joshlespaul11]

nice tones and his picking sound really sweet

[yjxiao]

HIs overdrive tones used to be much better. Not really loving the new fuzz lead.

[121jigawatts]

Eric Johnson, one of the best players ever and tone that is just out of this world!

[CRXspeedshift]

Musicians Friend is awesome, gave me the best deal of my life on a drum set.

[Musiciansfriend]

@CRXspeedshift Thanks! Hope you dig the new set!
