I found an old Eric Johnson Guitar Player mag with him on the cover when he was unknown. Got it when I was a little feller.... He said in the interview that his beloved '58 was stolen and he implored the thieves to return it! So happy to see he finally got it back. I guess good things do happen to good people once in a while!
Eric is one of those players where you can hear that he has certain influences and has learned certain things from listening to other players, but he is able at times to either put all that aside or mesh it all together into his own sound...excellent guitarist and musician for that matter.
This (parts 1 & 2) is THE best "gear" video I've seen on utube You get "the man" - not his roadie/tech - and he steps you thru every switch & pedal, and shows you his (let's be honest - TO DIE FOR!!) amps. And a couple of jokes too... It does not get better than this (but to be fair, Vai's is pretty good too) ps all the big boys use those handwired Marshalls. A modern classic in the making I think..
I love your antibacterial Fantastic. Good you have a sense of humor about such stories. Even I was told some bizarre story about you & batteries. Jealousy is always ugly. But what else do they have ?
@Seaannn1 I'm sorry Seaannn, but somehow I feel you're not completely honest to us here at youtube.. ;-) check out my version of cliffs of Dover .. on saxophone though.. hope you like it :-)
Rawguitar31@ that sucks for real. But it seems to me, the crooks knew exactly what they wanted like they have been to ur house b4 maybe ? Idk just throw'n that out there. Good luck

what a cool guy.......very mellow.
Ej always puts cleaners on top of his interviews..that never gets old! EJ!!!!!
It is a very rare thing that you ever saw your 58 Strat again. Even rarer that you were able to get it back. So incredibly rare.
Eric is a good man.
Eric Johnson, inspiring as always.

Such mad skills! Eric Johnson is one of those guitarists we love because we know what he means!.... for us serious people anyway.

I love your antibacterial Fantastic. Good you have a sense of humor about such stories. Even I was told some bizarre story about you & batteries. Jealousy is always ugly. But what else do they have ?
thank's again.
I found a recording of 'tribute to jerry reed' in 1983 or something like that!
Have you noticed Eric Johnson can improvise forever?!
@wtsinanam...it's called "Tribute To Jerry Reed"

he has a pretty good sense of humour
The *Secret* to his tone. ;D
@acdcmasterman July 2007
I have finally discovered the secret to perfect tone. Fantastic cleaner, it's anti-bacterial in case you didn't know.
Now we know how to get rid of feedback!
1:24 he has 3 tube drivers up on his window pane.
I was shocked to hear somebody stole that one strat, what screwed up person would still from Eric Johnson!?!?!?!?!?
Rawguitar31@ that sucks for real. But it seems to me, the crooks knew exactly what they wanted like they have been to ur house b4 maybe ? Idk just throw'n that out there. Good luck
they actually stole a number of guitars from his apartment back then
I am beginning to think this guy is an allien
anti-bacterial... what a joker
