EJ Mini Lesson 05

[@timgorman2090]

The internet has so many great guitar tutorials now... but does it get better than these 10 minute tutorials from the man himself? One of these EJ videos should keep me busy for a year or three. And thanks EJ for being concerned about other people who need the basics in life! All class!!!

[@chrisluckhardt]

0:39 - Eric is moving so much amp air that his notes fell to the floor! 💨🎸

[@charliejamz.]

I did not even notice that hahaha.

[@classicartfoundation639]

I love that tone, how it's so soft but with that little bit of snap under the mellowness

[@orandachildren1051]

A new EJ lesson video comes out: Turns volume up to hear EJ. EJ plays guitar: Blows my ears off.

[@ishanganguli6062]

Ah yes the legend himself

[@ogawasan5581]

we are so lucky

[@jasonkeith9317]

Pentatonic master for sure!!!

[@joshhayes2987]

It's amazing how his sound is so distinctively his even though he's playing the most basic scale with only 5 notes. His runs are so unique and unmatched. Amazing lesson as always, and I'll be donating to a local food bank!

[@2gobeond]

Young players today do not know how lucky they are. Tips and hints from amazing guitarist and musicians abound!

[@TommoGuitar]

Hey I do know how lucky I am! Ah no wait, I just checked and I'm not young :-D

[@aradieschen4880]

Dear Eric, thank you so much for these uploads. I only got bitten by the guitar bug quite recently - but to hear you live is up high on my bucket list. Your sound truly is a relief for sore ears. It would be amazing if you would come to Europe again one day, but I guess I will have to come to Texas. Please stay safe in these crazy times.

[@kelvinpanesar6511]

Do whatever you can do to see Eric live!! It's so worth your time and effort to do so! I grew in Texas and had a chance to see eric several times in my younger years. You will never be disappointed!!

[@tojorabemananjara5708]

Love you Eric. I so much wish I could meet you in person and just tell you how much you’ve brought joy in my life with your otherworldly melodies and tones.

[@ogawasan5581]

Never knew i could use the pentatonics over one root like this , Thank you so much this opened up a lot for me and i'm so excited about it ! thank you so much for This lesson and thank you so much for every single note you ever played on guitar ! We are so lucky and honored that One of the greatest guitar Heroes is giving us some of his time ! thank you so much !

[@dedyprasetyo3593]

Amazing .. blues sweeetttt

[@ozmassb2594]

how about a picking lesson? Maybe a demonstration on your slanting technique, hybrid and economy stuff. Love ya Eric!

[@Ballsy_]

I think he has a video on the art of guitar where he talks about it in depth.

[@mah_lick67]

Troy grady

[@iagobroxado]

Honestly, Troy Grady did that better than even Eric could show hehe

[@AlexVonCrank]

Iago B it’s true!

[@tonyfondacaro1980]

Brendan Prendergast He did that in lesson 4.

[@3lefty3]

Hello dear Eric! Thank you very much for the tutorial. In the next lesson, please make a video so that you can see not only the left hand, but also the right !! Thank you!!!!🎸🎸🎸⚡⚡⚡

Eric Johnson our brother we Fn love u man!✌❤🙂

Love ya Eric...thanks so much for sharing your gift and WISdom!

[@zackeriah87]

The Superimposing lesson we've all been waiting for... Thx Eric!

[@kipponi]

This is like Joe Satriani's pitch axis method. Same root note but playing different modes(scales) over it. Something like that?

[@petermuller161]

Rick Beato did a lesson on this topic as well

[@uralemekci]

@@petermuller161 Would you tell the name of the lesson. I would really like to understand how this works.

Yes, I agree! Excellent point! It's amazing to see Eric break this down.

[@superjam1446]

Everyone always asks about the lead playing, it's his chord playing that is so amazing!

[@timoteoabilenelyda7531]

ERIC!!! Thanks for the healing vibes, you chill Texan, you. NEVER has the world needed some medicinal healing soul "food" more than now.

[@elimakowski1469]

Awesome stuff Eric! Thank You for sharing, and dropping these wonderful jems upon us! I've been an avid follower, fan, and disciple of yours since 89. I love your approach to chord melody, and Trademark was the one that lit the fire underneath me to get it together in ALL the keys! My Grandad was Howard Roberts, however I never got a chance to study with him. Your influence stimulated me to dust off H.R is a Dirty Guitar player, and immerse myself in jazz. Thank You! In this episode, I find hilarious that although you say, "here it is slow" and may mean to play it slow, you cannot! Pickers Syndrome. I have it too!

[@tonygSDWR]

I love how down to earth Eric is, it's so cool to learn from an idol!

[@spacerockwizard]

Thank you, maestro. And for a great cause.

[@joefletcher6217]

[@t.j.fuller9531]

Is this guy like coolest most chill musical genius ever ? Bravo !

[@jimbrennanguitar]

These lessons inspire different folks to work on different things. In my case it inspired me to work on the 3 lower strings up/down the board since I'd been concentrating on the 3 top strings in recent past. Thanks again Eric. It always helps.

[@EVEROSFP1]

When Eric starts to play things start to fall from the ceiling... That kind of music force!

[@edwinmorse6615]

Thank you Eric. You have showed me things I already played, but didn't know what I could do with it. Opened a big door I have used many times.

[@drtap1477]

I always look forward to the next lesson! Thanks for what you do Eric!

[@azbluesdog]

How cool of you to share these amazing lessons with us, Eric! I met you and Mike Stern at the MIM in Phoenix a few years back. You were so humble and real. Thank you.

[@tjn0110]

Great lessons, thanks Eric!

[@jjamesmcguire6343]

Thanks so much for a very awesome lesson Eric! I've known about these rules for quite some time and have been using them, but didn't think about it in those exact terms. Taking a simple idea and maximizing your chops with something you've been playing for years! Just a very cool way to look at it.Makes you sound like you're blowing through changes over a static situation. Loving these, keep them coming!!!

[@pranavphx]

Great lesson on superimposition. Of course you use these options with such great taste which is what separates you from others.

[@vikasshukla8499]

We need an acoustic playthrough of one rainy wish!! Your acoustic playing is incredible and underrated. I'm baffled by some of the early riffs and learning it by ear has proven to be quite difficult.

Eric, you remember Charlies Guitar Shop ? You were the only one that played my Custom Shop 1954 Strat they ordered for me. It was the first one Charlie’s ordered. I think you spoiled my guitar and it hasn’t acted right since you played it. LOL. I hate they closed the store. I still got the guitar and the shirt though. Thanks for posting your videos and sharing your knowledge, message, and love for mankind. Peace. Play on Jimi !!!

How you mix the pentatonic with dominant scales? And please teach us your picking techniques!

[@achaarpickler]

Hey since everyone is asking, how about a lesson on that legendary tone of yours? Mr. Eric Johnson???

[@ozgonc]

If you are as good as EJ you can play any scale over any chord. So your actual mileage may vary folks.

[@paso193]

What’s amazing is that if I was listening to this with my eyes closed, I’d swear It was a concert violinist! That tone is to die for.

[@michaelpowell7120]

Thanks Eric.

[@jaka398]

This is substitute pentatonics, nice stuff, you add colour over a chord

Are we all going to ignore that something fell off the ceiling? and Eric didn't even flinch.

The MYTH... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@BasedRaven96]

Yeah, learning all of the positions of the pentatonic is good :)

[@kipponi]

And learning all notes on the fretboard. Guitar is funny because same note could be on different strings and sound differently too. Open string sound is too different than fretted note. Guitar is very colorful instrument.

[@BasedRaven96]

@@kipponi Yep!

[@kmichaelp4508]

You make me a better player by just seeing you do what you do. It seems as though you use your index finger in the bar an awfully lot doing your runs that gets you ready for a chord. I personally think that is brilliant. Not only for chords but facilitates in fingering the scale.

[@ashanetrevin]

[@SonicEntertainment]

Hi Eric. Would it be possible to share any tips on your tricks for fixing a guitar's intonation ? (ie: Buzz Feiten system vs standard ways of doing it, etc, as we all know guitars never tend to be pitch perfect over the entire fretboard). Also I once read you unscrew pedals, is that to minimise noise? Thank you so much. Much love to everything you've contributed to this planet.

[@SuperTonybo]

thanks eric,,but do you think next time you can move back,,so we can see your guitar neck,,a little better???

[@icevelvetzen]

Ahhhhh lightbulb moment - modal pentatonics
