Eric Johnson - Trademark

[@Instantnostalger]

My mom bought me my first electric guitar in 1991. I used to love this song back then. Mom died in 2021 of Alzheimer's. I heard this today and started sobbing. Miss you mom. You taught me how to dream and this is the soundtrack to my dreams as a kid.

I am so sorry about your mum. We love you.

EJ is a Virtuoso, saw him in Austin a couple of times, he has very fast fingers and creates sounds that are inexplicably brilliant. Top Shelf talent

[@HeeHawCapital]

superior to Joe Satriani

[@adanrodriguez3865]

I also see him twice in Austin. Amazing!!!

[@adanrodriguez3865]

@@HeeHawCapitalabsolutely!

[@yangerjamir0906]

I don't care if there are technically better players than EJ ( doubt there are that many though) but his sense of melodic composition and that sweet tone is just godly. For me the Goat of guitar.

[@cosmic687]

its the unique sound that defines him

[@JoroJojoro]

Slash made me pick up the guitar, because it looked cool to me (don't judge me, I was a dumb, trend following kid back then...) John Petrucci and Alex Lifeson made me take the guitar more seriously. But Eric Johnson... EJ gave me the pure inspiration to master the guitar in all it's shapes and forms!

This is my favorite song of ALL TIME! It has inspired me since the first time I heard it. In MY OPINION, Eric Johnson is the best guitar player alive and certainly one of the top ten EVER. The album/disc Ah Via Musicom is incredibly diverse with influeces of Chet Atkins (Steves Boogie), Wes Montgomery (East Wes), and ball busting, guitar shredding on Cliffs of Dover, et al. His nuance and inflection is so rich and has so much texture. EVERY guitarist, no, EVERY MUSICIAN should have this disc!

[@edwnorris]

Venus Isle isn't half bad either. And his new one is very much EJ.

[@TheArtofGuitar]

One of my earliest influences. Though I was a metal head this really brought me to a good place musically and eventually brought me to SRV as well. Thanks Eric!

[@cindystacy4321]

I love this song because it makes me happpppy. You agree?

[@adaml5690]

Eric Johnson is a fucking LEGEND. Top shelf.

[@fernandes5986]

After 29 years this song is still magic. Its like floating in a cloud of music. Timeless.

[@obee66633]

Right, you nailed it! Timeless Memories, when music was pure and magic.... EJ still's the Best!

[@flyboyu777]

Yep.

[@toxicdooney]

Why does this music not get the recognition it deserves? Seriously, what is not to love about this? Everything is perfect!

[@handyalley2350]

This clip is actually better than most netflix shows.

[@isaiahgrandt5305]

Better than the last 3 sessions of criminal minds

[@jcsolomon6470]

No Way,nah!

[@c.b.295]

😂Agreed. Netflix is junk.

[@benodaboy]

The strange thing is, I’ve loved this song for years and never looked at the music vid. But this song always made me picture horses in my mind. Seems it wasn’t only in my head.

[@anindo1979]

Yes! Same ! It’s the galloping bass licks

[@stoicnotsad]

That's hilarious what a coincidence

[@arjunanmarimuthu8276]

I ve heard this song in early 1990 but i never knew the title,yes its true about the imagination of riding horse in the country side....till i found the title and this video clip just four months ago

[@BoBo4844]

Bet you didn't picture a flying horseshoe

i met e.j. and i don't think there is a cooler guy on the planet, so humble, so laid back, i will never forget him...

[@joebatters6508]

Met him some years ago in Houston, and I had same impression of him. Great guy. Great musician.

[@ralphshaw9758]

Yeah his playing is so stellar you would expect him to be a real conceited prick.....hahah jk. He's a national .. make that universal treasure.

[@joshdamsma]

I did too, very shy as well

[@johndoc4483]

All I can say is the man commented on his F.b. page and gave me a condolence for my son and bandmate jason I lost in Aug 2020, I think he is super humble, I've been struggling with my sons passing, I had tears the day I read his message but it was joy, I will be a fan of his till forever is thru.....

[@johndoc4483]

@@joebatters6508 yeah , if you met him,and I know you did,he is not like some of the other solo guitarist/heroes, they didn't give me even a hi how u doin, I won't bash them, enough hate out there, I will follow E.j. his guitar lessons for a simple food donation, my God the man is just real, feet planted on ground, I wish I had a third of his talent, take care guys, be well, see you at the shows someday...

[@Justicefordadmom]

❤❤❤GREAT MEMORIES OF MY 91 YEAR YOUNG MUSICIAN DAD AND I WATCHING ERIC JOHNSON DVDS, CONVERSING IDEAS & OPINIONS. I DAD PLAYED 1963,1972 FENDER TELECASTERS, MSA PEDAL STEEL GUITARS, FENDER & MARTIN ACOUSTICS- ME - VINTAGE NATURAL MAPLE LUDWIG & TAMA DRUMS. I MISS YOU DAD TILL IT HURTS. IT WAS AN HONOR TO BE YOUR CAREGIVER FOR 19 YEARS, MOM'S 14 YEARS 😢😢😢❤❤❤

[@elbisnopserton9052]

If you’re Joro and your handle says that you are. I listened to a couple of your tunes. I liked them. I was born in 54 like Eric. When you get older you tend to stick with what you know. Still no more celebrities in politics 👍.

[@robertperrella4194]

eric johnson without a doubt has a unique "TRADEMARK" sound, no pun intended of course !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@yockib5419]

Ain't nobody out here like eric.

[@toral2216]

What a great guitarist...I've had the pleasure to see him live a couple times and he is purely amazing...One of the best concerts I've seen was when he opened for Joe Satriani a couple years back ! Thanks for posting

[@ralphshaw9758]

Saw him and Joe in 1990. Joe had hair and Eric had the big pompadour going ...changed my life hearing that tone up close.

[@ronaldviens7862]

Saw him at House of Blues in New Orleans back in 2007( I think), after Katrina. I was tripping balls, and the ambience was comforting, the whole show the soundtrack of my trip. Never smiled so hard for so long in my life, my smile muscles were aching next day

[@Drk-oz8tn]

Still, simply the best! A master multi instrumentalist and such a good soul, positive, melodious vibes pour out of every cell! @ericjohnson, rocked Clearwater, Fl last night! ❤❤❤

[@eddiemyers94]

for those of you old enough to remember...this jam was always played during intermission at all concerts at the old Convention Center Arena....S.A.T.X

Very unique song and i love the video despite what others say. It takes you to some cowboyish fairytale dream sequence set in the past. One of the very best songs by EJ.

Amo esta canción! Es un viaje a otra dimensión sin dudas. Gracias Eric!

[@itsaplantlife9850]

My radio station does an end of year song A to Z and I was lucky enough to be tuned in when this was played, or I'd never have known about it. Had to look in their playlist to know the info, but happily in my stash for nearly a year.

Rick Beato's interview with Eric Johnson brought me (back!) here

[@artistfran]

This is a great song and the video is original and refreshingly unlike anything else around.

[@ktubeme]

About the video, it's like this : The beautiful girl is drawn to Eric, enthralled by his beautiful music. However, so divine is the music flowing from Eric's guitar that Eric is himself enraptured by the music, and thus fails to even notice the beautiful girl. The girl, realizing that even her beauty, great as it is, stands little chance of of drawing Eric out from the spell of the enchanting music flowing from Eric's guitar, turns and runs away. Man, now that's Poetry for you !

[@corymagner8842]

That Apaloosa is a good looking horse!

[@coldsandinhands]

What an awesome tune!

[@stdermeister1]

i have always wonder why this song was so underrated, i think it is one his most expressive. Though not necessarily his most technical.

[@ralphshaw9758]

There you have it ..Technicality not really mandatory for musical expression. Many players need to realize and live by this.

When i hear this kind of music, i wonder how it can happen in our rotten world. Ruby in the dust, like neil Young puts it.

[@TheMahagoni]

He first played piano and that opened his mind awesomely ,then he went on to play genius guitarists like chet atkins , Jerry Reed, WesmOngomery and djanfo reinhardt and Jimmy Hendrix and i assume Stevie Ray vaughan and he just sat down and practiced scales, chords and artists very patiently ,I mean extremely patiently all that with his gentle and beautiful personality and talent brought his to play better than anyone
