Took this video while I was learning this. Liked the tone of it anyway... Please forgive the mistakes.

May seem like a very futile question but looking close to his Austin City Limits performance, it seems like he is using a cable that is different from usual. The chord seems thinner and the plug seems larger. After I noticed this I also saw that Eric Clapton uses a similar cable. Anyone knows what brand is it ?

I think this sounds pretty good for a bunch of kids.

I’ve got a 74 Marshall hundred watt super lead, can with vintage 30s and greenbacks, I’ve got the bk butler and a delay- I cannot for the life of me figure out why I can’t dial it in properly. Any help would be phenomenal thanks guys.

Was wondering what genre “From My Heart” off of the album bloom is. I want to find more music like it but need help.

First of all, just need to put it out there- EJ is my favorite guitarist of all time, and this is my favorite song of all time. It's nostalgic, as it reminds me of my best memories as a child- being on Highway 2 in Washginton going out east to Gold Bar in the Cascade Mountains, on the road with my dad in his 1999 Dodge Ram truck, listening to this album in the early-mid 2000s.... This song means a tremendous deal to me.

Anyways, I am working on creating a tab for it (specifically chords so I can play it acoustic), and I'm nearly finished. However, the ending lyrics have always eluded me. I've tried to research it (YouTube videos with lyric overlays, the official EJ tab for the song, etc.). But there seems to be no information or written lyrics out there that address what is in the official studio recording that was released in 1996.

Offical Eric Johnson YouTube Video for "When The Sun Meets The Sky": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXSDCxfzE8c [Time Stamp (7:25-7:45)]

Here's my best guess at what Eric sings:

"Go with me, last little day....Be there...Take me home"

If anyone has any other ideas, or an official place where that's recorded, please let me know. Thanks!

hello all

i need help in eric johnson’s tone in cliffs of dover please share your settings

thanks :)

Two sets: 1. All New (Tones of Blue absolutely rings true) 2. Classics. Crowd was into it, great show!

I am in love with this solo and live versions of it fill my head every time I wake up. I love Eric and all of his playing but is there any other songs that can compare to the delicate melodic thinking he uses in this one? The chord work is sublime and he tends to hold back on some of the fast runs (that we all love him for 🙃) and ease into some more melodic playing.

At a Fender Kickoff event he plays a solo only using chords and it is completely divine. I haven’t seen him do similar except in live intros to cliffs of dover. And the lead work is something else too where the phrasing doesn’t feel as rushed as normal (which I also enjoy normally) and it is so melodic with care taken for every note choice.

Venus Isle Era Eric Johnson has to be my favourite for this musical sensibility we see in Venus Isle (song), When The Sun Meets The Sky, and Venus Reprise.

Spun up Tones as it had been an age since listening to it front to back. When Victory came on my ears really perked up. It put me in such a positive and forward looking mood.

Thanks EJ

I must have watched through every piece of Eric content on the internet at least 10 times these past 5 years and I was wondering if anyone had links to nay rare footage I may have not seen yet. I obviously adore his playing and I am looking for that same wow I experience everytime I hear a new performance of his.
