EJ Mini Lesson 30

[@JeremyBorkat]

The only man whose tone sounds great through a cell phone.

[@foxhound5702]

When it comes to Eric Johnson I'd listen to his tone through a fuckin' GameBoy, as long as I got to hear him play i'd be happy =P

[@RodneyWallaceDynamoC]

So true 😂

[@GrabNGo93]

I am glad to be born in an age where I can get personal lessons from EJ. Thank you

[@alexandercook9614]

DUDE!!! This is the legendary Eric Johnson!!!! Why aren’t are more people subscribing😠. Man I love the monologue at the end.

[@martinrhodes1619]

The tribute to the service workers in Texas at the end of the video (the true ‘rock stars’) was pure class. If only some of those Texas politicians had as much class as Eric.

[@BK-lx5mo]

You are a treasure, EJ. Thank you for these lessons- imagine if we’d had a mini lesson series from Jimi or SRV 🤯❤️ These will be long remembered and cherished 🙌

[@golf-freq]

EJ is one of the most humble guitarists around but don't let that fool you -- he is absolute top echelon. Ask your favorite technical shredder who their favorite players/influences are and I guarantee EJ makes the list every time. It would surprise you how many top players cite EJ as a major influence. He is like Holdsworth -- a guitarist's guitarist. Total legend and a very nice dude on top of it all! Cheers!

[@LiLi-or2gm]

Free lessons from one of the best players ever- such a great gift! Thank you, Eric! Glad to hear life is getting back to 'normal' for you and your's!

[@khyran1627]

Yes! another lesson Please never stop them

[@vincealviani571]

Hi Eric, your inspirational, unique feel and sound on the guitar never fails to amaze me. You’ve completely mastered all aspects of guitar playing. You inspire me to pickup my guitar everyday. I still shake my head every time I see you play Cliffs Of Dover. I hope you tour again after covid. We would love to see you again in Canada, especially now that you had a taste of our winter weather (lol ), and yes a great thank you to all the hero’s who risk their lives to help others. Thanks for the lesson. Hope to see you on tour soon.

[@ChickenBeats]

Well said

[@brucestark8998]

Definitely! And Australia please

[@jaredolson7543]

Wow! Personal lessons from a Grammy winning artist. I saw Eric Johnson live once in Phoenix maybe 16 to 17 years ago. Saw him play Cliff over Dover. He inspired me to learn to play guitar. But, I never stuck with it. Wife. kids, and work! Bless you, Eric. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world!

[@jamiejamie4007]

What a huge, humble heart, Eric. Thank you for being you.

[@JimThomi]

Thanks always, brother.

[@paulmclennon8845]

Hello there mister johnson，this is a fans from china，Glad to have your lessons and all of your great songs and albums，specially Ciffs of Dover，one of my lifetime dreams is to watch you play songs face to face，that will be my pleasure，hope you can read this comment，loves you a lot！！！

[@zackgibson3389]

Eric is such an inspiration and many people could learn a thing or two from him (not just on guitar ) 😁

[@renn77788]

We love, love, love you, Errric!!!

[@dalecoonfield]

You are the man!!!!!! I grabbed a dictionary and looked up the word "Awesome" and it said "See Eric Johnson for details"....I was going to get a Tattoo of you on my arm, but the doctor said my body couldn't take the amount of pure kick ass just the image of you would produce, said I should start small with a image of your fingernail and work my way up.

[@69telecasterplayer]

Thanks for the excellent tips. And also for reminding us to be grateful.

[@StevenPD]

I don't know if you'll read this Mr. Johson, but I just wanted to say I knew your college roommate while he lived here in Canada before moving back to Austin. He shared a couple of neat stories about those days with me and turned me onto your music. I just wanted to share that and how my memory of seeing you open for Satriani on May 10, 2006 at the Commodore ballroom in Vancouver is one I will never forget. In part because the day was also marked the 17th anniversary of my father's passing. Isn't it amazing how music weaves a thread through people's lives? Thanks for taking the time to make these mini lessons. Much love from Canada. Cheers!

[@rickhinojosa5455]

Eric...I hope you see this...I used to play your Cliffs of Dover song a LOT when I was young. And the rest of the songs in the album, too. But that song was just very cheery and happy! Thank you.🙏

[@chipolmstead9220]

Thank you for your golden Mini lessons!!!

[@peelarat-hijuelos]

Eric I first bought your teaching video from hot licks At mannys . so happy to find your channel. I love to watch special video about playing double octaves as in jazz.. thank for your music and hope see you play Sony hall nyc one day!

[@barocks1814]

Thank you Eric for posting all of the great lessons and sharing your techniques, tips and approach to playing! These videos have really helped my guitar playing. Looking forward to seeing you on tour in '22!

[@killerapp201]

Another reason Texas is the best state in the union. Resident Eric Johnson giving free lessons on youtube. I remember hearing "Ah Via Musicom" for the first time. As a guitar player it was so inspirational it made me a better player. Thanks for the inspiration all these years.

[@yaqoob764]

Yess another lesson please dosnt stop making these!

[@stephen5839]

We will be forever indebted to you for these videos.

[@mikedonnellan4937]

Very glad things are better where you are Mr. Johnson. Like everybody else I'm grateful you take time to make these mini-lessons. Thank you sir.

[@sajidbullicer3783]

Im from philippines one of the best guitar composition of eric johnson I like, was the cliffs of dover. Boy it's a legendary if you are a guitarist better to hear that song.

[@fawkesandhound]

Best Wishes to you and Texas, Eric. Thank you for these lessons, you are legend and here sharing your lessons with us.

[@gerardo._]

Miss you my legend🔥

[@LockyTheRocker]

Love your heart EJ, beautiful outward focus mindset. Thanks for the word :)

[@MojoRicky]

So much like a violin love it 😀

[@chriscroce]

Thank YOU for being such a positive inspiration, for keeping us inspired to always reach for new heights!

[@gavinw5469]

I know Eric probably won't see this. I have had an extremely hard time improvising. I feel that every time I play I repeat the same patterns over and over again. It is so incredibly frustrating. I constantly try to make new ideas but they end up being the same. It almost makes me want to break down. I put hours into improvising at no avail, but enough about me. I think Eric is one of the most musical guitarists out there. He's got skill and he's got the musical ideas to back it up. Forgot to mention some of the best tone I have heard. Eric's music has kinda helped me through this rough spot. It is some of the most invigorating and upbeat music I have ever heard. Love your music and playing Eric and your tone of course :)

[@gavinw5469]

Huh. Didn't know that editing a comment got rid of a heart. Anyway, I think you should keep doing this series. I like it. It inspires me to pick up the guitar. Your music does the same! Also, your songs bring joy to my otherwise boring and uneventful life so I appreciate that. Hope you are doing well. Hope to see you on tour one day as well!

[@EVEROSFP1]

Your last words in your video was the best part of the lesson...Have a nice day!

[@mitchellhoover3047]

Wow a guitar lesson from Eric Johnson

[@RolandAyala]

I love your tone and style, and still remember the first time I heard Cliffs of Dover back in 1990 -- I was in a hurry when the song came on the car radio just as I got to where I was going and couldn't stop listening, fingers crossed the DJ would credit the artist (they did, but I needed to wait out another song, and I did even though I was late). I've been a huge fan ever since and have steadily maintained, if gifted to play like anybody, that person would be Eric Johnson. +1 to @3:30.

[@marbellpayne8603]

Thanks for the amazing music you give us!

[@stringsnare]

Holy shit where have I been. Never knew you had a YT channel. Please don't stop Eric!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@darcygearon]

Hey Eric! I love your songs so much, (especially cliffs of dover). Thank you for inspiring me to pick up my guitar every day and for being awesome! 🤟
