[@kenbelliveau16]

Thanks you Eric for sharing you playing wisdom and human compassion with us once again.

[@andywoodmusic]

Tone is so good I just laughed out loud! Incredible sounds!!

[@nicolasdagenais396]

Dude i watch these videos just to hear his tone

[@LadyCroMag]

ANDY EFFFING WOOD!!! YOU AIN'T TO SHABBY YOURSELF!!! BUT WHY DO YOU PLAY THOSE SHUR STRAT KNOCK-OFFS, BRO???

[@calebproductions5970]

@@LadyCroMag doesnt matter.play what you want.come off that brand name bs.overpriced big time.besides it's the driver not the car.eric can have a glarry set up by his tech stock and kill it.

[@andywoodmusic]

@Apollo Music imagine being so stupid to think that you can’t tell that this tone is incredible even though it was recorded on a phone.

[@andywoodmusic]

@Thomas Grey not the vintage fenders that they are inspired by or the fender custom shop 😉

[@luchosanchezbh]

Thanks for all your Music Eric, I hope see you anytime, regards!!

[@Solosmemoraveis]

Fantastic . Thanks Mr Eric J. (From Brazil)🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@hughmoss9884]

wow....let me hold a few cameras for you. Good call on the food banks, we all need to eat. And you need a volunteer, with 3 cameras on tripods, to help you out. But great job, you're a wonderful man, a great ear for good music. And it is wonderful that you're thinking of others, in so many ways. Thank you so much. Even when I don't play along, I feel blessed to just hear your wandering around on the guitar. You are an inspiration !

[@JohnDoe-mh8tm]

Thank you Eric. You are so kind and generous. I appreciate your comment on local food banks.

[@RabelFibal1]

Thank you so much Eric, your live "Trademark" video is so inspiring!

[@thereallbking]

I started listening to Eric religiously as of late, and I'm so glad I did! My playing has improved by leaps and bound trying to emulate his playing. Thanks for doing this, Eric!

[@BasedRaven96]

You're an excellent human being and guitar player

[@danielperkins4610]

Hi Eric, your vibrato sounds great, soulful! Have a blessed week!

[@cognoscenticycles4351]

A great cause Eric. Thanks for sharing with us. Always a source of inspiration.

[@littlelamb6804]

Lovely Eric. Thanks for sharing and for caring.

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Another amazing lesson. I've been trying to do the no thumb on the neck vibrato for awhile.

[@scottykrieg155]

Just started a monthly donation to feedingamerica.org, thanks for the lessons!

[@Earlvis]

Eric-Thanks so much for giving back to your fans.

[@ciprianocaius7767]

It is interesting that he says stretch. It actually makes sense.

[@kipponi]

Or does it? I stretch after my runs. Bending is more used. I am okay with stretching too. Vibrato is very personal in guitar playing. Invariable how fast or slow it is. Or how wide.

[@jacoscofield5150]

Thanks Eric for posting !!!!!!!

[@CummingsKevinD]

EJ... You are the truth when it comes to creativity in sonic motion. Thanks for teaching your journey. I’m blessed knowing your sound.

[@codymyersofficial]

Received my DVD of "Total Electric Guitar" last night. Have loved your playing since "Ah Via Musicom" released when I was 11.

[@brucestark8998]

These mini lessons are terrific little motivators!

[@odara]

What a privilege seeing this guy at work...

[@Zack-cv3dq]

Thank you for these lessons

[@pjstamm2112]

I could listen to EJ's improv all day

[@1REDRoCKER1]

These videos are a goldmine for me. Please make hundreds more!!!

[@BryanDenham]

thank you for the mini lessons you are a huge reason why still play guitar today . SRV got me excited about guitar and your tone has kept it fun for me trying to make your sound with my little rig at home thank you for all the help.

[@danakemper625]

Yay another mini EJ video! Thanks Eric

[@eliasoliveira2624]

Thank's Eric for share your musical knowledge with us...🙏🙏

[@drellino]

What a terrific, elegant guitar player. Eric you are number one!

[@maxt4803]

This is Awesome! Its so weird to see such an amazing classic guitarist teach his legendary riffs years later. Thank you Eric, for your wonderful music.

[@PariahVSGear]

Am I the only one who would love to hear Ej on a metal track? I'm a metal guitarist, but Eric is definitely the player I most wish I could emulate for lead stuff

[@petermitchell7534]

I have a surprise for you friend :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ6zapSIfcxnjas (almost metal at least)

[@xavilion8454]

Chris Poland comes closest you can get

[@nzprojects]

Great, looking forward for more lessons :D That guitar tone is priceless. 👍✌🎶

[@johnbarber3499]

Thank You Eric, at local Kroeger store here Oregon, when you are done checking out the cashier will ask you would you like to round up to the next dollar to go to the local food bank, and a lot of people are very willing to do so, and its generated thousands of dollars. I always give thinking you know I may need that some day.

[@ellexis3337]

Thank you! Love learning your technique.

[@jeffgeeslin3153]

Your attack on the fretboard there is no words .JEFF Geeslin

[@JeffDaytonMusic]

Awesome to have you sharing your gifts here Eric. Had the pleasure of meeting you in Nashville a few years ago at City Winery with Arielle and some others backstage. Looking forward to more insights!

[@billroux6824]

Secrets from the master. Love this guy

[@BFromUpNorth]

Lots of wisdom in these lessons. Learn all the notes on the fretboard being #1. I am hoping you make a lesson on how you developed your right hand and left hand speed and accuracy. I bet I'm not the only one.

[@leebrunk4390]

Man, that thumb hook vibrato woke the ghost of Paul Kossoff! Thank you for taking the time to make these mini lessons, EJ!

[@kjek1]

You’re so good and I’m so grateful for these videos. Cheers Eric 🙏🏻

[@sgcl2276]

Hello Eric just found your channel, am a great fan was listening to Manhattan the other day just a superb song

[@Archpatri]

Grande grande chitarrista. Saluti by Milano Italy.

[@sinister4lyf]

Thanks EJ

[@AndreaMaccianti]

I love these mini lesson Eric! Vibrato is something that is often overlooked... Instead does so much!

[@marcp.418]

Thank you, Eric, for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. Your lessons are fantastic, super helpful, and draw attention to a useful cause. You have been making a significant difference in peoples' lives in so many ways. I can only speak for myself, but hearing the Tones album changed my life. Your sounds, your lyricism, and these beautiful songs have been inspiring me since the mid-80s. Saw you in Hamburg in the early 90s and was fortunate enough to listen to the soundcheck and interview you. That certainly was a major highlight, too. Oh, and I finally figured out that the kind of 9V battery actually DOES make a tonal difference, esp. in Wah and Fuzz, as you have been saying all along ;) Greetings and much love from Germany.

[@ronanlopesguitarra]

It's so good to watch your videos and learning from a hero like you... You're a great inspiration for me... Ah Via Musicom, Venus Isle... I listen to them all the time... Desert Rose is my favorite song! Thanks for your work!! It's a present for all of us!!

[@mikebriganti2187]

THANX ERIC!!! COME TO GEORGIA AGAIN!!

[@jamesleavelle]

Thanks again!

[@OskarVidalRoyo]

[@danmessore4553]

Holy shit! Your the man

[@sunnys3325]

I like that strap man!

[@whitecollarguitarhero687]

I'm not sure what fascinates me the most: how great his bends sound or how he can simply play a note and have it sound marvellous without any bending or vibrato at all. How does one do that?!

[@thetruthchannel349]

Thats a good question. I think its just the person. The fingers themselves are conduits for what is the collective soul and heart in a player. The notes are brought to life by this and nothing but this.

[@KayvanAbbasi]

Eric...that elusive vibrato...Been trying to figure out how you do it for a long time now! I had the video go in 0.25 speed and noticed that your vibrato is quite wide, about 1.25 step. I am not a pro, but I believe your vibrato is so elegant and gives me one more reason to love your beautiful guitar tone. Also, thank you fso much for posting these videos and asking people to donate during those hard times.

[@jeffjfindley4802]

Eric! You're incredible. Thank you for continuing to be you. Can we go back to the living room though? lmao

[@F.BERTOLOTO]

Mto bom mesmo. Abraços e bends

[@felipebentopereira]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@kirkmckim2685]

That sounds so killer

[@picksalot1]

Eric - Thanks for these helpful Mini Lessons. Can you try to make sure your picking hand can be seen during the lessons? It would really help a lot.
