This is my take on Eric Johnson's Manhattan from his album Venus Isle. To give you an idea of the difficulty of this song...I had to learn 3 new techniques, switch picks, and restring and intonate my guitar in order to play this nowhere near perfect version. So. I know the slide guitar part isn't the greatest. This was my first time attempting to play slide guitar. Other than the minor hiccups, I had a lot of fun learning and playing this one, and it's a great song, fully demonstrating the depth of Eric's technique and versatility and I encourage you guys to try learning it if you want to take your playing to the next level. Thanks for watching, and remember to comment and subscribe!

  • this tone is out of a pod? jesus its so good! your version is extremely well executed you dont give yourself enough credit. what are the 3 new techniques you had to learn? just curious.

  • @murda1991 The 3 techniques were hybrid picking, slide, and artificial harmonic harp arpeggios. I guess you could say 4 if you also include insanely fast pentatonic runs although I haven't quite gotten those down yet lol

  • hey man, this sounds great, are you using your pod xt live with a fender hot rod deluxe? how do they sound together?

  • Class taste in music man. Good job too. I can't get the part where he plays the harmonics in the A section. You already know what I'm talking about. 1:09

  • If this tone is all pod than you did a fucking awesome job getting close to his tone.

  • Great job! Just got home from seeing Eric in Houston tonite.

  • AWESOME PLAYING AND COVER!!!

  • wow man great job seriously!! dont worry if there is a few minor mistakes cause im pretty sure the only person who can play this absolutley perfect is EJ himself lol :P

  • what recording software are you using with your firepod? sounds great!

  • Nice! Where did you get the music sheet from?

  • I have never heard of this song before, but I like.... no no I LOVE it! :D
