I know it's Eric Johnson, he is amazing and all, but I have to be honest here, his solo's got no melodic interest whatsoever and his timing seems way off...

I never liked ej all that much... but in his defense... it must be very difficult to just get up there and pull of a solo on an exceedingly uptempo number like this version of crossroads. Especially when he's being looked toward for some great mind blowing solo from the entire crowd and also one of his peers who is arguably a better musician than him. I don't know

@pontacelli ; Eric Johnson, Joe Bonamassa, myself & the world are all waiting for you to show us how it's done. Just let us know the date, time, place of your choosing. Collectively, we are all waiting for you to instruct us. The stage is all yours....

I think every guitarist who's going to solo over 'Crossroads' may sound a bit off tempo...as a matter of fact, EC himself stated that his own solo on the 'Wheels Of Fire' version is 'fucking wrong'! (as he played on the 1 and the 3 rather than on the 2 or 4). That said, EJ could have sounded better, though he doesn't copy anybody at all, unlike JB. That's my humble opinion:)

EJ must have had a bad day. He's human like the rest of us. I wouldn't call him a Fail by any stretch.

Eric actually is on time, he's actually playing slower in the pocket, something he does quite a bit. Just cause he isn't squirting notes all over the place doesn't mean he blew it. Use your ears and listen. To the critics, grab a metronome and try to play half time to the tempo of this song and see if you don't f*** it up. :)

actually, the EC solos on the original are kick ass as you all know.....I've never seen anybody ever capture that Cream spirit on this tune...ever..I;ve played it hundreds of times...and was never happy about it....yeah..you jam all day long to 145 rock blues..but........I thought I heard a cover band do it once ...in the spirit of the take... the band was across the lake..and it could've been a tape....I have EC's original solos on my practice list for years...the best blues rock solo ever...

[BlueSpawnRecords]

OMG.. EJ blew a fart on that one...next time I'm on stage with him I will call this song...so, I can look like a champ....

[Lespaul13100]

Awesome! Two masters at work!

[SteveFEn7DER]

Eric Johnsons solo is fail..out of timing...even out of tune in some points..also many mistakes..no soul...wtf

[patfreecat2]

EJ had a bit of a shocker on this one, who cares no big deal... watch the rest of the clips from this concert he kills....
