EJ Mini Lesson 18

[@jeffainsley6000]

It's so great when Eric pulls out the Gibsons. Can't wait for his next album, which is rumored to be a blues/blues-rock album, plugged straight into the amp.

[@anasslahjaily353]

Eric Johnson has to be one of the best human beings and one of the nicest too !

[@yaqoob764]

Yes, can’t wait please don’t stop this series

[@U2WB]

This is GREAT stuff. I'm smiling to myself because you'll say "just do this.." and then play something that to most of us is like some kind of magic ! I love your music and love these lessons ! If I can glean even a morsel of musical self-improvement from them, I'm eternally grateful.

[@pedrovoss862]

Eric is a great guitarrist and also a great person.

[@luigicannizzo2669]

Very Special Tone on Electric Guitar ... ☺😊😀/💙💙💙/👍👌👏

[@JB-xo8sr]

Segovia Scales sums up this concept best that I've seen. Great explanation in mini lesson format. I also agree it would be interesting to see your right hand at work.

[@l0gan575]

Great idea to support local food banks Eric! I used your link to do this. Great cause and great mini lesson!

[@Rickys33]

Thank you, Master! Always looking forward to your lessons... And.. Well finally you are playing a proper guitar😁

[@rolandsnyder2088]

Another mini lesson from the man himself!!!! Love you Eric!

[@stuartredd8876]

Lovin' the 'cone cry'.

[@shakesquire84]

That Les Paul sounds great.

[@jimbobc2882]

Thanks man. Hope you’re hanging in there

[@davedehetre]

so cool to be able to watch the best guitar player ever like this. thanks.

[@tomslater8374]

these videos deserve more views, so lucky i found this series

[@erichaddadi1516]

Missed a few mini lesson premier's and felt meserable. Had to watch them all in a row, several times, at work, to get back my energy. Thank you Eric! and yes, I did donate to food bank.

[@TorySlusher]

People just basically come here to watch you play. In between licks you could be reading the back of soup jar ingredients, it wouldn't matter. 😊👍

[@SVATTIMO]

Wow, that Les Paul sounds unreal!!

[@ЮРИЙФИЛИППОВ-й6е]

☯️ Thank You , Eric ☯️

[@themusiccovenant]

Legendary guitarist

[@iagobroxado]

Great tips, EJ. The use of open strings to connect licks through different parts of the fretboard is something I recently noticed from country players, like Brent Mason.

[@디아망-h9w]

great guitarist

[@yvesschulte3098]

Fretboard Connectivity sums it up, regarding navigation on the fretboard. Thanks for this. Peace And Love

[@ricardojosedossantos5932]

My Master!!!! Tks for the lessons

[@DAVVYMODE]

thank you eric very epic

[@F.BERTOLOTO]

Mestre eh mestre sempre Abracos e bends

[@ChristianYeager69]

I really appreciate Eric Johnson taking the time to share and show musical insights, techniques, and applications with fans and students. The only criticism that I have is that audio is consistently low on his voice (probably a compressor issue related to webcam and guitar amp) and there are too many Gibson's sneaking in the videos. Keep up the great work and don't get any on ya'! Hope to see you in Memphis soon

[@paulinmt2185]

"Too many Gibsons sneaking in" -- Exactly, haha ;-). I'm a Strat man too. Thank you Eric, for sharing your gift (and hard work).

[@bradly373]

So awesome

[@AlbertoPedrazav]

muy buena tecnica Mestro ERIC.

[@Shanktor]

Hey Eric, can you show your picking hand in the videos please? Thanks for this series!

[@mattstrat1]

Thank you Mr. Eric Johnson . Sounds great on a Les Paul but I do understand why you prefer the Strats . There are a few players who've copped a little of your style and that's probably an honor for you. You're music is amazing . Thank you for the many years of inspiration and positive vibes your music has given me .

[@pranavakoliya3464]

Eric Johnson you are king of the arpeggios

[@sebas455]

This is amazing, thank you

[@sinnertrain7405]

WHO ORDERED THE CLAMS? I believe I created that phrase, based on my own playing (can I copywrite that?). BUT I love that this shows that EJ is human when it comes to playing, like all of us. Not that I didn't think he's human before, just blessed by God. Perhaps this is the best mini lesson yet? Thank you EJ!

[@jtchance_music9895]

I can’t wait for this

[@Thesodaisinfactblue2]

I’m hoping to show up but I will be attending virtual school but hopefully I’ll be back in time to watch!

[@dr.manhattan6278]

Hey Eric! Time for a new live album!

[@rareform6747]

He would be a great cellist .

[@scottemmonsmusic6001]

We could really benefit seeing your picking hand which is out of frame. Thanks for these.

[@WagnerHMaier]

Great.

[@wild291]

When i watch those EJ music lessons i often wanna say something like "OH yeah,you could play something like this too! Or like that!" and then the truth comes to me and says "Just STFU and listen to the Master".

[@hambonetunes1988]

Cool!

[@RicoMnc]

Mr. Johnson when I'm trying to steal your stuff this is usually where I get stuck, extending the phrasing further up or down the neck, not my strong point as a bone head, play that one penatonic position to death kinda' player...thanks for the tips. Of course I can only play about 1/4 the speed you do, heh... still makes for some tasty licks...

[@leandroacosta5731]

Waiting for a new EJ lesson ⏰

[@iagobroxado]

By the way, EJ, could you make a lesson on how you adjust your guitars (Strat/Les Paul), if you do it by feel or you have certain measurements you tipically use. Thanksss

[@falsenotefest]

👍👍👍

[@mannyfragoza9652]

i often wonder on some of the great guitar players like your self how loose or how tight are you fingers when your doing the runs that you do.I think it makes a difference if you have reg size fingers or larger to keep them as limber as possible.

[@aradieschen4880]

Eric what happened to Souvenir over at spotify? Those albums if yours keep showing up and vanishing....

[@sarthwahb]

I want to play guitar like him, I want the tone of Steve vai and finger movement like Eric j. I want to learn how he does his index finger vibrato and how plays so fast. I am getting my first electric guitar this week. I am exited for this journey. Will you help me?......

[@mattstrat1]

You are lucky to be starting now . Back in my day all we had were magazine tabs and watching the live performances . Eric is amazing. As you can see his tone has nothing to do with his equipment . It's all in his hands .

[@sarthwahb]

Matt G yeah man his hand move around the neck like a bow on a violin..... not a good example but his skill way better than most of the guitarists. And idk why he is still not getting more views or subs. People should watch this.

[@mattstrat1]

@@sarthwahb I would say watch BB King . He's the master of index finger virbratto . I'm willing to bet Eric got some of his index finger stuff from B.B. sometimes you have to go back to the roots where it all started to see how the next gen of musicians were influenced .

[@sarthwahb]

Matt G yeah man I’ve seen BB king. His technique and music is really amazing. Also I am one of the young gen who is inspired by BB king, Eric Johnson and Eric Clapton. I am 16 years old ( btw I am from india ) and soon I am getting my first electric guitar. This is really exiting experienced or me.

[@gilangfauzip]

I thinks tuning use 432 hz ?

[@wastrel09]

That's a strange looking Stratocaster

[@bmwm3cs]

Imagine how much better the tone would be if Eric remembered to use an authentic Gibson brand strap! Shame....LOL

[@jamesha175]

OMG he is like; "look at this lick" - "now check out this lick" and all of us are like; "wait, do that again" LOL freakin eric johnson. edit) i will go out on a limb and suggest that is not some run-of-the-mill Slash les paul, that is probably the one-and-only nineteen fifty something les paul remaining on the entire planet. edit2) i think that ted nugent should give one of his Birdland guitars to eric johnson.

[@hunter00143]

The guitar doesn't make the music

[@harkyreagan1089]

[@fatthor2476]
