In this video I'll be talking about how Eric Johnson uses spread voiced triads (or open voiced triads) in his melodic playing. More specifically, I'll be giving you some insight on how he uses them in the live into from Cliffs Of Dover, which he plays in Austin, TX. We'll also touch on Drop 2 voicings, what they are, and how he uses them. Spread voiced triads are a wonderful tool for emotive playing, and this particular piece demonstrates that perfectly! There's a lot that you can learn from this piece, so listen up, and get your guitar ready!!

Superb incredibly detailed lesson. Lead intro section please please please!
D4ve1985 ruclips.net/video/i8_mAEhmxQU/видео.html here you go my friend 🎸🙏
I hope you gain insight from this one folks! I just wanted to share some observations from what I could find here :) Make sure you watch out for the follow up video(s), where I will show you how you can use these chord voicings in your own guitar playing! ✌️
Darryl Syms yes!!!!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Darryl Syms absolutely nailed it ...gorgeous !!!!
GOLD
Diamond
Man that recording he did is just amazing- AT the top of his playing at that point-great choice
Hey man i hope you know how much the guitar community appreciates your effort in puting together this masterpiece. Well done
🥰 Thank you 🥰
This was an incredible breakdown of the intro. I've wanted to learn this progression for so long, you made it approachable and now I know the theory behind it too. Absolutely well done. Thank you.
You’re welcome Evan! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Beautiful! I've wanted to know these chords ever since seeing the original broadcast. You've earned yourself a sub! Thanks
Glad to have helped! Thanks 😄
Dude you are awesome ...
Excellent lesson, From Costa Rica cheers and Pura Vida
This is a god send, I'd just started painstakingly deciphering this from the live video, thanks a lot man!
You’re welcome bro! Do a Kong Gainer Pre to celebrate 😉
Parallel minor progression. Sounds good !
This video(finally) is 30yr in the making!!!! Thank you!!! Such a beautiful intro...EJ is a God
Great lesson, Darryl! Beautiful voicings, seeing the fretboard in a new way. Thanks!
🙌
I really enjoyed your way to teaching this piece of Eric Johnson Cliffs of Dover intro. You explained so well and in details especially for beginner and intermediate player. I can understand it and apply it myself. I found you don’t just tell us how to position chords by also tell us why, which is very important. Can you put a video about Andy Timmons ? His music is very melodic too. Thank you again for sharing with us !
Thanks! Andy is very cool. I’d love to do more Timmons stuff 👌
Love it! Very good explanation!
I just found this video - wonderful insights into an amazing piece of music in this live version. I've often marveled at how beautiful these chords work against the droning repeating chord. I'm so excited to finally learn this! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
great lesson thanks Darryl! Explanation super clear
Glad it was helpful!
I have been listening some lessons on this into, but i have to say that the feeling and the execution of the original video is still at the top,
Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!
You are welcome sir!
Awesome, been looking for this lesson for a long time. Seems like Eric Johnson's technique is sparse melodic chords like these. Thanks a lot man. The break down was excellent.
Beautiful guitar dude , great playing also
Thanks Bruce!
never thought to spread triad. THX!
Awesome lesson, great analysis. Thanks for posting!!!
AMAZING JOB MAN KEEP DOING THIS STUFF YOU'RE AWESOME!
Hey would you ever consider breaking down some of the theory in songs from polyphia's NLND album? Harmonic devices, cadences, they've got some interesting stuff going on in songs like G.O.A.T and it would be awesome to see someone much better than me analyse it :D
I think they'd be very popular too because no one else is doing that on youtube but their main audience is guitarists, love your vids by the way!!
I second this! No one is talking about it, so its a big opportunity for you too!
I always wanted to learn this intro. Finally someone has the answer. Thank you bro. You are such a really good teacher.
It would be great if you make a lesson for the solo of Mr. Recordman by Ugly kid joe cause there aren't any lessons for it.
sweet. Really helpful
Ya dude you did a freaking great job on this...ive been trying to figure out how to play it for a long time now......
The lead part would also be great to learn🙄
Awesome job men THANKS U HELP ME TO MY GOUBERNAMENTAL PRESENTATION OF MUSIC.
You're welcome men! 😄
13:55
this is the best cover/lesson on YT for the cliffs of dover intro. Would you mind sharing some tone advices? how did you set the EQ? cheers
Thanks! This was way too long ago - I’m sure I just put together a BFX preset and that’s all 💁♂️
@@DarrylSyms thanks man!
Beautiful man😍
Well done brò!
Thought you might like this one 😉
Can u do a vid on the live intro solo too? Thanks
Thaaaank uuuuuu :DDDDDDDD
one quick question : if playing in the key of GMajor what scale options does one have other than the modes of g major and the G major pentatonic scale...Can one use other pentatonic scales too like C major pent and D major pent and other minor pentatonic scales that belong to respective major and minor chords like A minor as they are in the G major key ... while we are soloing or what is the basic principle territory to play solos in a key ..eg key of G major...??
voiceinthen0ise if you are in c major (you can use any major scale c is just easy cause there arent flats/sharps) your c is 1 d is 2 e is 3 f is 4 g is 5 a is 6 b is 7. BUT you can use any note as your „home note“. This changes the „scale“ while still using the same notes. If you would, for example use d as your home not d would be 1 e 2 f 3 g 4 a 5 b 6 and c 7. This is the dorian scale. You can do this with every note from the major scale. C major, d dorian, e phrygian, f lydian, g mixolydian, a aeolian and b lucrian (might have misspelled those names). You can ANY of those modes. Its about the notes in the scale not the home note
Thanks Timothy, well said 👏
Darryl Syms haha thank you for your very informative videos!
@@TKanal3 he asked 'other than the modes' lol...not for an explanation of what modes are. We musn't forget, in western music the underlying principle is the use of CHORDS. This will determine very much your note choice; given a certain chord progression, what notes will work and which won't depending on the chords being played. In Eastern music on the other hand, the principle is the SCALE and its sound, mood or even spiritual meaning. It's how you play the scale, which notes you emphasize and how you improvise within a set structure belonging to that scale or mode as we call it. Oh and btw voiceinthenoice, in the key of G mayor we can play G minor pentatonic too!! It's called the Blues.....
*Awesome Stuff* Do some Acoustic too😅
Looking at the harmonic section. Eric never slides his finger in the Austin video. You can pick up that note at harmonic G-17. Sounds like he's going G(H)17, E19, D(H)17, A17 G17
I think I already address this in another comment - it’s been a while 🙂
@@DarrylSyms I didn't wanna dig through all the comments haha. But man what a fantastic lesson! Thanks !!
kronosecw fair one 😋 Thanks & enjoy! 😄
Delay Settings Please ?
No idea, I think I just slapped on a default delay from BFX2 🤔
Great insight into Eric's use of chords and voicings . Luckily I didn't need this video having transcribed it easily with the help of the live performance video on RUclips. (where would we still be without it?), but I'm sure it will benefit a lot of players out there. Unfortunately the only part I'm not sure about is the harp style harmonics section, but I'm pretty sure that's not how he played it (13:11). The first note is definately a harmonic and I don''t hear (or see) a slide either. Eric is a master of this technique and this particular lick is a great example of it.
As a matter of fact, I just solved it XD. Here's how he played it: Bar the 17th fret with index finger and put ringvinger on 19th fret, 1st string,. like an A minor add9 shape. Then pluck the artificial harmonics an octave higher: first play an artificial harmonic on the 3d string (!) then pluck the 1st string (no a.h.), next pluck the 4th and 5th strings with artificial harmonics and pluck the 3d string (no a.h.) to finish the sequence (5 notes in total). You're welcome! ( I also offer lessons btw. (just kidding haha)
I can play some of it but it doesn’t sound like it what kind of effects you got?
Lotsa reverb and delay on a sparkly clean tone and a G5 pedal tone 😄
Tahedee yio
So clean it kills covid
😂😂
I might have just creamed myself...
