bossa nova by eric johnson!(high quality)

[wills22nd]

sounds like bossa nova to me

[CapeCodBirdfeeder]

my mind goes to a donald fagan tune "raindrops" on his "nightfly" album. i wonder what scale he is using?.

[RicardCastro]

Bossa nova??? Sorry Eric, this is not a bossa nova.

[austinsguitarhero]

ok people....iv found out this is not a bossa nova!? i just thought at the time the drum beat was to that kind of origin. i was 15 so not very bright.

[Isaque31348582]

na bossa não vai.. rsrs, até porque a levada da batera e tal... não tá tão original.. mais mesmo assim... só pelo fato de ser o Ericson eu considro! hehe

[superkafkaesque]

pawned hard. but not quite really "bossa nova"... still amazing.

[brunodefreitas]

Realmente muito bom, sou fã desse cara. Mas em termos de bossa nova não tá legal nao.

If you want to know what I wrote, just translate from portuguese

[novaantonius]

fantastic playing the strat !

[leee50studios]

He's kinda like a musical ninja...that none other can capture. E.J. is history- forever.

[MUNIZKAUE]

PERFECT 

[Odinsgade]

Can anyone tab this for me?

I really need it... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

[gdw3]

@Odinsgade If you think you can play this, then a very good exercise for you would be to figure it out yourself. What better way to learn it?

[familyguysongs1]

@Odinsgade if ya still want the tab im currently working on it give about a week and i should have it done. :)

[Odinsgade]

@familyguysongs1

Fantastic! How can we get in touch?

Want my gmail?

[familyguysongs1]

@Odinsgade we could do that or i will be putting the tab up on ultimate guitar.

[Odinsgade]

@familyguysongs1

Well, i think its best if you put it up on UG.

Then other people can find the tab if they need it. :)

[pipsqueek14]

yeah kiddies.

thats called a guitar. you make music on them.

eric is one of the greatest guitarist ever alive

[EllisW1]

Beautiful guitar playing, but the drums are all wrong. The bossa nova has several basic beats but just hitting on two and four isn't one of them. Too bad.

[whatsitallabouthey]

@EllisW1 Yeah, the clave pattern is missing.

[artistfran]

Wow this was great. How about some more of this! And, by the way, Eric is alive and kicking. I saw him with the Jimi Hendrix Experience in Baltimore a couple of weeks ago and he's as awesome as ever.

[lithiumdeuteride]

This isn't bossa nova.  It is lacking a samba rhythm, and also the characteristic thumb + three fingers picking pattern.

[Groovy26407]

@lithiumdeuteride it goes to remind something from brazil-lounge jazz but in a johnsonish way,i like it a lot:D

[ben909ben]

Eric the Chordmeister!

When you're that damn good you can afford to experiment with your hair....

[countrysamurai]

I am shattered...I have read on Eric's Facebook page that he has passed away...

I have looked on the net and can find nothing on this...does anyone know anything about it???

If this is true...we have lost a giant.

[9erMatthew]

@countrysamurai Nah man, Eric is alive and well... I think he's currently on the Experience Hendrix tour, so don't worry, I don't think Eric will be leaving us anytime soon.

[countrysamurai]

@9erMatthew Thank you....That is the best news I have had in a while.

[AdamTomaszewskiPL]

So fucking smooth...



[visiting31]

sexy fretboard is beyond sexy

[risingsun1987]

what a sound!!

[countrysamurai]

He is truly a master of his craft. I have been a fan for over 20 years...he never ceases to amaze me...what a gift he has.

Thanks for putting this up!

[zr24X4ROCKS]

[sogandik]

[macree2187]

[TwoBitSodapop]

he hold's the guitar like it's made of glass, but gets such a solid, pure tone... he's made another level that only he's on

[moi623]

The Eric Johnspn sound is celestial..

[teC5]

anyone got tabs for this or know where to find them?

[gamergeek3000]

the koto was not so tasteful imo. NTL sounded good.

[GauchoLibre]

its great but i'm not so sure if you can call that bossa....

[donottawaguitar]
