Cliffs of Dover Intro
Live from Austin, TX
(Cover with Tabs)
I vividly remember the first time I listened to this Intro in my bedroom on a cassette tape that I copied from a friend's CD "Guitar's Practicing Musicians". It started with beautifully clean chords, then sweet violin-like leads came in, I was totally blown away. I couldn't believe that a guitar could sound like that. That was also my first encounter with EJ. Looking back, it changed my life. From then on, I really got deeper and deeper into the guitar and music.
I tried to copy it, but it was too difficult for me. Because there was no transcription, no information on how to get that tone, especially with my poor guitar technique. Time has passed, now I tackle the remarkable piece again. It is still too difficult for me, but brings me much joy even playing slow, note by note. I hope you all feel the same way as I do. So I put this video.
Thank you so very much, Eric. You are my lifetime inspiration. I am writing this while listening to your new album "The Book of Making” which is fantastic.
Thank you so very much all who commented to my previous videos. Your messages have encouraged me to continue with this challenge. It was so tough for me, without your support I was not able to make it.

That EJ tone is IMMACULATE
Thanks!
Is that a custom shop Virginia Strat? I thought so because of the flame maple neck and graphtech high e saddle
I remember seeing Eric Johnson play this on Austin City Limits. That beginning is one of the prettiest passages I’ve ever heard. I takes me far away from this place called earth. It’s heavenly!! Thank you for this video lesson. 😎👍🏽
The tone, the playing, SPOT ON!
Amazing my friend.
Thank you for this. Now I can play the most beautiful guitar intro. Those first 50 seconds are amazing
Yeah man EJ is NO Joke. As a Guitarist myself, thats probably the most inspiring thing I've ever heard
That tone man and the playing! Unreal! ! !
some heroes don‘t wear capes…thanks a lot for this amazing piece of work! Keep at it with that awesome playing!
Very nice, including the tone of course! Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed listening!
This videos was maked with much love thanks you
Sweet!!! And thanks for doing all of the "heavy lifting" (i.e., tabs & video) for the rest of us!!!
Thanks! Yeah, it was tough but so fun. To tell the truth, it took me 2 years to complete this. Hope you enjoy it!
@@simpsonsgogogo Dude... I totally appreciate and understand the time and effort it took you to figure everything out, write it all out and then play/film it. This includes all of your other videos as well. Personally, I think you're a little nuts, but a good nuts! Thank you for being you! ;-) Hmmm... Here is your next challenge... "Trail of Tears" from the same live album. I double dog dare you! No! I triple dog dare you! And while you're busy doing that I'll be busy transcribing and videoing Tommy Emmanuels "Somewhere Over The Rainbow." Just give me a few decades to complete my task. LOL! Cheers!
@@geneo7054 Thanks for your warm message! Yeah, "Trail of Tears" is another great performance at the concert! Good luck on your challenge. You can definitely reach it if you continue!
Awesome!!!!
前半のクリーントーンのコピーは、他の人の動画で詳しく解説しているのを見た事がありますが、後半までフルでコピーして、尚且つタブ譜どころか運指やピッキングまで載せているのは、この動画のみかなと思います。
音作りもEJサウンドを追求されていて、感動致しました。 素晴らし過ぎます。
ありがとうございます！！
コロナ禍で何もする事がなく、ビデオをコマ送り/戻しして採譜しました。楽しんでもらえると嬉しいです！！
Thank you!💗
Amazing
your phrasing is done so well bro
Wow, very good job, I am impressed
you are a legend, i hope to play this at a wedding someday.
Thanks for sharing and keep it up 👍
Absolutely magnificent 🙌🏻🔥 Can you please upload a video or maybe a screenshot of how you got the tone please? Like just the amps, pedals and the settings on the pedals? I've been looking everywhere and cant find anything. Even the videos with EJ didn't help with the specific settings one needs on the pedals. And worst of all im using BIAS Fx. Its all i have🙈 Please can you help? 🙏🏻I have no clue how to get an EJ tone. Especially one as amazing as yours
Thanks for your comment! It's an honor to have such a request. I should do that!
@@simpsonsgogogo That would be really awesome thanks🤘🏻 Let me know
@@simpsonsgogogo Yes, Please. Especially that violen lead tone you nailed. What Fuzz pedal were you using or was this from a modeler? Thanks for the great video!
@@simpsonsgogogoOmg yes please. Please tell me your working on a guitar tone video for this please😱 We're all desperate for this God tier tone \m/🔥
Could you do a video explaining your OX-software setup and what all someone would need to get into it? I have a positive grid spark now which allows me to get a couple different tones, but have not been able to really accurately replicate this tone. I was really wanting to get into this kind of software based emulator since I don’t plan on performing outside of my desk. I have not been successful in finding a lot of “beginner” level videos about good simulators to get how to set them up so I would really appreciate your help!
Thank you for your comment! I'm not familiar with positive grid but I'll try to find time to explain my setups. On OX, I use 4x12 Super 80 or 2x12 Black 8H with Dynamic 57 in off axis position.
The (A.H.) near beginning (17th fret) is actually a T.H. (Tapped harmonic). Not technically the same thing
Great work man!!
How beautiful 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼comment on this tone, what did you use, don't bother, talk about your effect settings
Damn. Amazing. ❤
Man you just did the impossible, awesome 👌
Awesome playing, beautifull phrasing too ! That tone is perfect, what did you used to obtain it ?
That was amazing.
Amazing cover! Just wondering what your pedal/amp setup is to get this great tone?
beautiful mate, thank you
I'm a bass player, but I've always loved this live intro. So damn melodic. Great job!
Is that the Masterbuilt Virginia stratocaster?
Awesome, Good job!
Could you do a video on the main guitar riff of soundtrack life? I’ve been trying to learn how to play it but have had little luck!!
That was amazing. Could you please upload a lesson on this intro for those like me who can’t read music or understand tabs? I learn by ear and I’m stumped on learning Eric Johnson’s style.
Holy tone! Beautiful
You are the son of Eric jonhson. The same tone. Crear job. Could you play down here on the ground Eric jonhson. He has an armonics so beautiful in that song.
Awesome work 👌
Thanks!
Wow this is great 👍 👌 I can't wait to try
Thanks! May the force be with you!
Legend for posting this
Best guitar intro imo or up there
Great job. You got the feeling right. Not only technicalities. Arigato gozaimas!
Thanks! Arigato gozaimas!
Very well played!!!
Can you please do love or confusion next
Can you make a video on how to get that tone? Spot on
Flawless playing 🙌
Wonderful!!!! How did you ever figure that out?
How did you get the tone
Are you EJ? lol
You just gained a subscriber
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you!
Thanks!
素晴らしい！！！ほんと、感動です！譜面、参考にさせて頂きます！ありがとうございます！
コメントありがとうございます！！楽しんでもらえたら嬉しいです！！
@@simpsonsgogogo 返信ありがとうございます！私も数年前にチャレンジしましたが、諦めました。。DVDのカメラアングルが明瞭なとこは、辛うじて。。でも、コードヴォイシングとか、なんか違う、、、となり、挫折しました。
なので、本当に本当に感動しましたわ❗️
分かります！私もコロナ禍のどこにも行けない状況でなければ折れてました！
@@simpsonsgogogo 確かに籠るしかなかったですもんね〜、ほんとありがとうございます！
今後もSRVに続くカバー曲とかも楽しみにしてます！頑張って下さいね！
ありがとうございます！
Great thanks….
Eric is the best…
Wow, at first I thought it was Eric himself…
How do you get the same tone ??
Thanks!
For the clean tone, Poseidon(treble booster), Deluxe Memory Man and DD-2
For the lead tone, ZenDrive2, Tube Driver and Belle Epoch
Added some effects on my DAW
Exactly what I’m looking for, thanks for making this video! Can you also show us how you achieved this tone?
Outstanding work!
Power bro👍
Excellent. are you using both a non master Marshall and Fender amp ?
Thanks! No, I'm using a Carr Sportsman with pedals.
You have the rest?
Gear used ? Great
Fender Stratocaster Signature Eric Johnson Bro?
story of my life @the description
Bro,can u share about picking technique between strings,tq
WOW.
演奏だけでなく、トーンも最高ですね。機材紹介とセッティング動画もアップして下さい。
ありがとうございます！時間を見つけて取り組みます！
how did you make the sustain G at the beginning until the second part? its an pedal effect?
Yes, it's Boss DD-2. I swapped the switch to a mechanical one to make that effect.
thanks a lot! @@simpsonsgogogo
Oh Heaven! Thank you buddy! 😅 With tabs Is more playable 😊
How on earth did you get that tone?!!!
🙏❤️
Tone and notes sound good. Timing needs lots of work.
LETS FREAKING GOOOOOOOOOOOO
THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS IS WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT (also I’m glad to see you back)
Thanks! Glad to hear that! I have been thinking the same thing as you for a long time.
can you make a tutorial on that harmonic lol
I just to know how to set the effect like this.l use Amplitube 5.
Thank you for your comment! I'll make a video to explain my setups.
Holy shit!
Hope your enjoy this!
1:20
Yesssssshhhhhhhhh :)
how do u play the 17/19 fret harmonic part?
I’ve been trying to figure it out as well
@@decibel0746 which part?
P.H. means pinch harmonics.
A.H. means artificial harmonics.
@@simpsonsgogogo the bit at 0:25 on the 17 and 19 frets. I don’t understand what to do with my picking hand to make it sound like that.
@@decibel0746 Thanks for pointing out. It's a bit tricky part, a combination of artificial harmonics and finger picking. I marked circle as artificial harmonics on the TAB.
First, hold your pick with thumb and second finger. Second, put your left hand finger on 17th fret on the G string. Third, touch the place from the 17th fret above 12th fret up (29th fret) with the index finger of your right hand. Of course, there is no actual 29th fret. On a Stratocaster, it is near the middle pickup. Lastly, pick the string with a pick. If you cannot get harmonics, try adjusting the place where you touch with the first finger back and forth.
After you make harmonics, then pluck high E string with your third finger of your right hand. And so on...
@@decibel0746 I hope my above comments help you.
HOW THE FFFFFF DID YOU DO THAT!!!!!LOL
Not me thinking this was easy. These chords are not easy to play
Thank you so much for this man I've always loved this version
Like for real this is amazing
what the hell is going on at 0:26?

@@simpsonsgogogo thanks, i slowed down the video and watched, was able to get it down.
My goal is to get that tap at like 00:55 as effortlessly as eric does
Think of the technique as whipping your middle finger onto the fret (right on top of it). It’s not hard, just make sure you hit the fret relatively hard and bounce of it, so that your finger contact is as short as possible. Also helps to have some gain to really get it to ring out, but you should easily be able to do it even on an acoustic.
@@vinny5004 thanks I can usually hit the tap it’s just Eric does it super effortlessly which seems nearly impossible
