Gem - Eric Johnson

[@gumbyonacid]

The man is amazing...He carries goosebumps in his guitar case-

[@zaccyo]

Great comment - so true. No man gives me goosies like EJ. Although, Satch definitelyserves them up to me, too!

[@sheikhabrahim3463]

...and causes goosebumps upon goosebumps on me.

[@TroyDawes43]

and four years later those goosebumps are still there!!

[@TroyDawes43]

Talk about goosebumps in the case. I actually do get goosebumps especially where he does that thing he does at 2:00 right on to where he goes back to the main melody of the song..Then at 2:13 you got Chris doing that thing he does with those low bass notes to compliment erics chord progression he's doing.. I listen to this song a lot..

[@danilobriz8499]

Gem and Emerald Eyes, his best songs for me.

[@ChickenatorJr]

Emerald eyes Austin City Limits

[@melschwartz5578]

This has got to go down as one of the best instrumental pieces in history !!!!

[@pongproductions9703]

You could say that it's a bit of a......gem

[@kropkanadi3470]

I thought the same, until i heared buckethead. Eric is still an amaz8ng guitar player but buckethead is far above. And yes you can judge me :)

[@gogokhan95]

@@kropkanadi3470 please name your favourite bucket head song? I wanted to listen.

[@derekstocker6661]

Very well said, could not agree more!

[@danwesolick7083]

Just when you think you've heard his best songs, nope, one after another and another....i just love Eric Johnson!!! What a musical genius

[@majere8893]

I have to agree with you. What is regretful, is that it has taken me this long to begin to appreciate what a true musical genius he is.

[@shahidarasheed8112]

Dan Wesolick sir kindly some other good guitar solos of Eric

[@danw.1667]

@@shahidarasheed8112 I would recommend cliffs of Dover live version...too many more to name

[@surveyordave]

I used to see Eric with The Electromagnets in '74 and '75. he was just 21-22 yrs old and he was beyond amazing even then. i remember standing out in the parking lot during their breaks...nobody saying a word to him. hell, we didn't know what to say! hahaha! hard to believe that this was close to 50 years ago and look at him, still going strong. NO other guitarist ever gets such an emotional response from me. he is just the best...the greatest.

[@petermihacerar1137]

@@danw.1667 yeah! The one in Austin Tx. 1988 one. Start is unfathomable. Take care everyone!

[@1thiswas]

Mr Johnson has the sweetest tone! As soon as you hear that first note, you know it has to be him!

[@lorrigrrl]

A guitarist who can evoke emotion like EJ is pure gold.... sheer beauty and grace. We are Blessed! :) Have a wonderful day, Everyone!

[@petermihacerar1137]

To you to Lori!

This melody is marvelous ... Eric is really amazing ...I love him so well !

[@metalman661001]

Nothing but emotion ringing through those pick-ups. Such a warm tone. Sends chills up and down my spine throughout the entire song.

[@billboyle363]

Simply otherworldly beautiful

[@francescaa8331]

really one of his better songs, though he has many great songs. the technique and the almost bittersweet wandering melody... just wow

[@dirtywheels1]

What i love about EJ is the soul and honesty in the music , coupled with amazing chops and musical prowess

[@jackpermore9337]

Your song gave me Hope!

[@nramos6393]

God damn this is divine 💎

[@20chevrolets]

Seems like a musical journey of emotions set to a great and solid mid tempo. Like someone taking their time, not to be rushed, to say something that means a lot to them.

[@ajaya2112]

Truly amazing

[@kricci93]

I saw him in Fiesole too! Concert and masterclass. Oh and I saw him in Rome too this summer. Yes, he was so great!!

[@danielf462]

Eric u get me depressed because no matter how hard I practice my guitar, I will never be able 2 play like u! And no one else can play like u either! U r the best!

Ridiculous. The greatest player to come along in the last 30 years, IMO. Originality, feel, tone, expression, the best. I could could go on...

i dont know, some people are born with an old soul, meaning, their past live memories are more accessible leading to a great empathy.. peace!

[@douglaskford]

I agree, here's a couple of old souls Tal Wilkenfeld a young girl Australian bass player who looks like she's still in high school. But, to hear her play projects another soul.... Another, Joss Stone's voice also demonstrates another soul in her talent... I love seeing that, but at the same time I can't believe what I'm hearing out of such a young person...
