I had never seen you before..Jesus!! AINT NO MERCY NOWHERE!! You came out by yourself with a Les Paul ....Thank you Eric,you have been and still are the most Inspiring guitarist I have ever met..

[@larryengelbe]

Good tips Eric! Thx for sharing.

[@chipolmstead9220]

Dear Mr. Jonnson, thank you for your expertise sir!

[@mr.anderson70]

Eric, thank you for being brave and demonstrating tuning on a Les Paul. In these dark times, it's nice to know that perfection can be had even in the toughest scenarios. :)

[@aradieschen4880]

[@richardgleichmann7671]

[@davidn.gordon7673]

there is one crazy expensive lick Eric imparts upon us here. did you find it?

[@notrightinthehead8515]

Man! That blues lick from 2:38 - 2:45. I had to pause it, grab my guitar, and learn it! But I will never sound that good! Sounds so good Eric, like bacon being made!

[@davidn.gordon7673]

hundreds of years of sweat in those few grisly seconds

[@StONed-mb1iv]

So glad that you do these lessons...and also that you exist....

[@juangordilloandreu3603]

Awesome lessons Eric, short and sweet without additional flab. I’m a long time fan and actually have you on vinyl from way back. Thank you.

[@CASNY4METAL]

good to know 3 tuner ways

[@user-lt3bt7nj8j]

Seeing you doing well is enough for me thanks 😊

[@chrisfarrugia5397]

An important lesson a subject often overlooked Thanks so much Mr Johnson ;-)

[@MrZachalewel]

Simple yet effective. Thank you very much good sir 🙏

[@leandroacosta5731]

A great profesor... 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@johnrjones2257]

Love what you're doing with these lessons; sharing your incredible expertise and secrets.

[@nateglass3204]

NEVER seen EJ on a Les Paul before! Still love Strats most, but cool to see variety, especially to hear a different tone with same play from him.

[@Mordred478]

As part of what you were explaining, perhaps you could do a mini lesson about the circumstances under which you know only a truss rod adjustment will fix an intonation problem, and how you go about that.

[@MinZ3]

Thank you so much Eric! You are the reason i started playing guitar.

[@stratplayer96]

Yes! Glad EJ addressed this.

[@luigicannizzo2669]

Number One ... ☺😊😉/💙💙💙/👍👌👏

[@johnstitt2615]

Heard you mention Bill Connors in a Rick Beato interview. Got few songs of his songs now. Great stuff. Thank you.

[@rareform6747]

Yep this part , big influence and in me ..Again it was Last House when I captured the hole , semi stretch . Thanks Eric

[@harrygaul4475]

Yeah Eric, I use a tuner but always check harmonics with the stings; electronic tuners come close but only harmonics gets the job done.

[@jtchance_music9895]

Eric I am so excited for this

[@Jigawatt1point21]

Thank you brother..much appreciated!

[@paincakes7693]

These have been awesome so far 👍

[@johnmjones1604]

Wow dude thank you that enables me to re-inspire me to play again

[@AnkurWow]

I've never seen you make guitar faces before, but it's interesting that as soon as you started doing the semi-tone blues bends, it came out! Very nice to see that side :)

[@F.BERTOLOTO]

Otima lição Abracos e bends

[@kmichaelp4508]

I know all these things but I'll watch "You" just to see that shy smile at the end. Peace be with you pal.

[@rioace3953]

scrapped my tv for youtube over a decade now and this multi point tempering method only came out on this channel? blimey

[@thomasradcliffe298]

Do you think Albert was trying to bend to the note, but sometimes with the heavier strings didn’t quite get there? It became a thing ,not to quite get to the 3rd from the flat 3rd. Jimi I had a great quote, I hear people copying my mistakes. The only person I heard talking about semi-tone bends was Micheal Bloomfield back in the day. If they meant to play less then a quarter tone, I bow to the masters ears. Never hear anyone saying they went over the tone going sharp? Our ear is use to hearing bends not make the pitch, aka as cool.

[@DjiDo]

Great stuff! Thanks!

[@rebelrocker7494]

Hope your having a Rockin Day ..🤘🖤🙏

[@david22_0]

Rock and roll

[@kipponi]

I got some tears because those bends. Guitar is really one of unique instrument which could make crying. Vibrato and bending (stretching is gymnastics ha ha) most important thing by guitar.

[@cristianconstantinescu7264]

is that the famous 1959 Gibson Les Paul Holy Grail? 500k$ worth of guitar right here

[@rvmusictv0122]

❤🙏

[@PhilDoughty]

These lessons are great. Could you please talk a little about how you practiced your fast runs/lines when first started out? Did you use a metronome? if yes, how slow (bpm) did you start and for how long(hours/days/weeks etc) would you work on something until you thought it was ready to be recorded?

[@33andonethirdrecords]

😎🎸👍

[@herehiatapi]

💛💛

[@MrSadriabi]

I don't recall ever hearing you play Albert King licks. Also, I didn't realize in your playing when you didn't bend right up to the note it was on purpose.

[@TheMirrorify]

I've been slammed for bending the g string downward, if it's good enough for EJ it's good enough for anyone!

[@JohnGalt539]

Yes it's a Les Paul ok, but the strap is Fender so everything is fine.

[@Zebrahhh]

Woo hoo

[@aradieschen4880]

Great video once more, much appreciated. Is there a system when to stretch in direction of I. or VI. string? He seems to bend the II. and III. towards the I. sometimes?

[@kipponi]

Of course it is.

[@aradieschen4880]

@@kipponi would you elaborate then? :D I only ever heard to bend towards the middle of the fretboard.

[@wannaberabbi9302]

A Radieschen I don’t think there’s a specific rule. I just bend where it’s comfortable, and it works for me at least. Sometimes I’ll bend towards the center and sometimes outside. If you want a more defined system, what works for me is to bend away from the center on the G strings when doing small half step blues bends but if you’re going for a full bend or more you’re gonna have to push towards the center regardless of the string you’re on.

[@kipponi]

@@aradieschen4880 It depends what string and how large bend is(interval). Do what is easiest way. Experiment with different ways. Train bending with all fingers and add vibrato too. It strengthen your hand amazingly.

[@aradieschen4880]

@@wannaberabbi9302 ah i think that's what he did in the video, thanks!

[@tomasgilbert9491]

I wonder if Eric knows people will be watching these vids 100s of years from now.

[@recub13]

He’s better than me on guitar.

[@robertwrenn5878]

Is that the same LP when you played with Carole King? Cheers

[@johnmjones1604]

Thats what i do

[@BadChizzle]

Hello!

[@maxt4803]

A les paul????

[@richardcarr5241]

Hey EJ.. GM, i'm having a cup of coffee with you at the moment. now. I'm using the diminished scale (half whole - 8 note scale) as a GRID and then watering it down by shifting into or using a couple notes from the parallel 7 note scales. engineeringwise it's backassward. but its easier or different to memorize a grid and subtract tension. and it helps me make the GRID become more melodic. - just throwing some fun stuff out there.

[@joefletcher6217]

Help me!

[@maximilianomaldonado2147]

Eric really reads de comments?

[@Bigbuddyandblue]

If he can tune a Les Paul, he could tune a tractor.

[@bobolsen8067]

Never had a problem tuning a Ies Paul.Wind the strings properly on the machine head,lubricate the nut and stretch the strings done!And Ive been playing Les Paul guitars for 40 years and never had a problem.So i dont know where the”tuning problem issue”comes from.
