I was expecting a typical EJ solo...good god! How he replicated Jimi's backward guitar solo LIVE was simply amazing.

Man this is incredible! This guy, when I watch these videos of him on youtube and the dvd's I have, I get this inspiring, sudden, and extraordinary urge to pick up my guitar and just jam like he does. Granted, I'm not nearly as good as him, but watching him play gives me the hope and determination to learn and play as best I can. I'm glad I got to see him live once so far. Hopefully I he comes around my town again.

Anyway, back to jamming on my guitar.

eric is gorgeous, he sings honestly, beautifully, sweetly, as an angel should, and is the best guitarist ever. thank god he doesn't sing like an affected wailing pimp boy ,high pitched and whiny fake ,as so many metalpop sting bonos. he plays with sensitivity,grace ,and reverence for the art and craft . any negativity here is unsophistication, and on the wrong side of goodness and beauty . bless this wonderful human .

@MrScary5150 I said views compared to guitar player videos.

If you don't like EJ fine. But to not at least grudgingly admit that he's truly great at his craft is simply denying the obvious. He has his thing and players such as SRV and the like had theirs. They all create their art and throw it out into the world for those of us who can't or won't supply their own magic to judge

second solo is complete EJ, while 1st solo is a dead on rendering of Jimi's backwards one, very impressive, I have a new respect for EJs ear.

Eric Johnson effects:

Ibanez Tube Screamer, Dallas-Arbiter Fuzz Face, BK Butler Tube Driver, TC Electronic Stereo Chorus, Vox CryBaby wah-wah, ToadWorks Barracuda flanger, Prescription Electronics Experience octave fuzz, Xotic AC Booster, MXR Flanger/Doubler, Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man delay, Boss Corporation DD-2 Digital Delay, MXR 1500 Digital Delay, Line 6 Echo Pro Studio Modeler, Maestro Echoplex tape delays. But play real or live backward/ reverse music, with no effects, no.

C'mon man, are you fucking serious? Has no soul? You cannot be stupid if you appreciate Jimi and Jimmy, but if you put SRV over this guy you have your head up your ass. I don't know how old you are, but I liked SRV when he first appeared, some of his songs are terrific blues, but he reached his limit very quickly and played the same hackneyed licks over and over again like beating a dead horse. I'd rather listen to another Jimmy, his brother. Eric : same soul, better musician.

damn this rules

[justanthrsngndrumr]

Nice stuff,but wheres the beef?

[tacitus2244]

To bad this guy has no soul. That's why he'll never be a "grea"t guitar player and that's why he is forgotten. His playing makes no impression on me what so ever and that's what seperates him from great players like Jimi, SRV, Jimmy Page...etc.
