Love it, and glad to have the video, although it’s a little like watching The Blair Witch Project. 😀

Hey, did you guys catch the spot where he flubs a note? Yeah..., me neither.

I've only seen Eric play one other rosewood strat, a 62 Sunburst that I think was later sold. This appears to be a 64/65 Lake Placid Blue model. Does anyone know more about this guitar? Edit: oops, answered below already years ago

La mejor intro instrumental que he escuchado. Natural, creativa, fina, misteriosa, emocionante y hermosa. La energía y la pasión en esta interpretación van mas allá de este mundo. Por siempre mi guitarrista favorito. Gracias por tu música y tu influencia en mi, Eric!!!

Eric doesn’t just switch between effects, he switches between amps to get such a variety of tones. From pristine clean to super fuzzy. 🙌

I simply cannot understand the reason why EJ has not released this song's studio version by now. It's just so beautiful!

I’m can’t believe this is the first time I’ve ever seen this.. I’m assuming it a synth type guitar, I know he was experimenting with them in the early nineties.. never seen him play anything but a modern strat or r vintage guitar before

Amazing .. the starting riffs in the album version had me fooled that he was using a sitar or having a sitar player in the recording (especially paired with the backing classical indian music vocals). And here I now realize he can replicate those on the guitar.

This is an amazing performance of this! He's completely dialed in with his playing, setup and band. I've seen him at least 6 times and I don't remember him playing this. It's one of my favorite songs. All the guitar layers, changes and that solo are pretty tough live.

2:55 is brilliant! He inserts a dramatic pinch harmonic breakdown and It's like a F1 pitstop lol Full lead > hits looper for a second > hits the clean > plays the pinch harmonic line over the loop > cancels the loop > hits the lead > shredz
