  • Eric Johnson cut his hair ultimately because it affected his tone

  • I have been using tlited VOX amplifiers with a strategically placed uncapped bottle's of Armour All on the top of them since I can't remember when I started. Way to be origanal. Maybe if I jumped off the Cliffs of Dover so would.........see that's what I thought. Great.

  • dude dem patch cords are long

  • bravo eric, you got some asses kicked with that armor all story :D

  • @felixlalanne Awsome. thanx :-)

  • THE PERFECT SOUND

  • @MRitterH

    I think it's Bsus4, Bmin7, Bb7b5, Amin7, Abmin7#5, G13, C6(maybe a maj 7 in there not sure)

    They're all pretty stock root 6 bar forms, hope that helps!

  • an artist .

  • Imagine how thick the tone would be on that les paul if he went to the neck pickup :O

  • A string skipping God.

  • All in all . You know who your listeningtoo when YOU HEAR HIM. THAT IS WHAT SEPERATES 10s of thousands of shredders who all are flawless rippers original song with playing fast as lightning or a guy who can wriote an original song that hits the mark. ERIC ADMITS HIMSELF THAT "When your approaching the writing process, YOu have to push yourself melody wise, chord voicings have to be there, I mean leads, everything .IF you CAN WRITE A SONG THAT GETS YOUR HAIRS STANDING ON END !!!! PERFECTION!E.J.

  • EricJohnson is popular not because he discovered some c0ompletely unknown form of guitar playing . BUT His TONE is second to none meaning INCREDIBLE. I am a tone god myself always searching forthe best gear and vintage Marshalls , Plexis, OD1 1st sderies pedals . Marshall Pre Rola cabs . Vintage 60s bLACKFACE fenders FOR CLEAN TONES

    . Ala Naturale Guitar tone. Eric Is an EXTREME PERFECTIONIST with his TONE.

    hE executes HIS LEAD PLAYING is FLAWLESS, AND HIS CHORD VOICINGS ARE WONDERFUL.
