Eric Johnson - Steel Guitar Sound & Violin Swells

Demonstrating:
1. fingerpicking double stops,
2. bending one note in place of the double stops,
3. and finally, volume swells.

All are used to develop a country-bluesish steel guitar sound and also to mimic the timbre of a bowed instrument such as a violin when it plays chords.

Notice how most of these demo videos are done with Fenderr Strat?

It's the most popular brand of guitar ever... not really that surprising.

why isnt this guy as famous as he deserves to be, god-damn, sounds like heaven

[eddytanhh]

there is effect pedals being used here, i prefer electric guitar without effect pedals, neither external nor built in. even in overdrive channel, i want just the amplifier overdrive, nothing more than that

Might sound even sharper on a Tele but with FX pedals the way they are these days, you can play just about any guitar and sound a bit countryfied. Nobody but the guys checking out the headstocks would know!

Eric Johnson is the master of chords, bends and solos!

ej has a very very unique style. no one plays like him. i dont want to say that he is the best on the planet. that wouldnt be objective. but i think it is right to say that he is one the guitarist that wil live forever because of their unique and virtous style.
