Woah the second he started to play rosewood strat, you can instantly see where Joe Bonamassa gets his influences!

The guitarist makes the guitar. Eric Johnson could play a banjo and still have killer tone. It's all in the players fingers.

When EJ plays those liquidy pentatonic runs, it kinda reminds me of Coltrane in his 'sheets of sound' phase, perhaps doubly so because EJ's overdriven sound is so smooth it kinda even sounds like a saxophone, especially on those fast legato runs.

He mentions Andy Summers.. I do feel like Eric Johnson and Andy Summers are quite similar players in some way..

The rosewood model is really awesome when i first recognized there is a one i simply checked it out at our guitar store with not much believe in that topping the maple one. But actually when i first played it i just fell in love with it and bought one in (aqua firemist). I understand that some people doesnt like the bound neck but actually it looks kind of cool. So guys just check it out u wont regret it .

i agree, the binding is unique. i have always preferred 60's strats due to the rosewood fretboard, slightly thinner neck, and hotter pickups. if only there was an EJ model in fiesta red it would be my perfect guitar.

that aqua Strat looks good enough to take a big bite out of

I wish I knew if that was an actually tune or if he was just improvising. Would love to learn that. Sounds great

Nice, but I think I like the Sherwood Green color better myself.

Anybody know if this is a specific tune at '4:30' ? Can't get enough of that, maybe someone can speak to what he's got layered over the guitar (pedals/effects) to get that tone?

Not getting enough of it myself , i actually learned it by ear ! he's using chorus and delay set at 4200 ms and a compressor ! and of course the famous echoplex ! but you can use any reverb !

@Sam Gillett 4 years too late but in his Clean tone chain he's going Strat > mxr dyna comp (> loop box for switching in/out the Deluxe memory man) > Boss DD 2 > TC Stereo Chorus > two Fender Twin Reverbs (or sometimes 2 Deluxe Reverbs)

I don't like the white lacing on the neck, that's all otherwise it's sharp

That is the maple neck that has been channeled, so the rosewood fits right into the neck.
