    This song was noted to have been played by Johnson as early as 1984, yet didn't get a formal release until 1990. The idea that you could hear this song in a venue one day and have your mind literally BLOWN and then never hear it again. It would kill me. Thank god for the internet and the accessibility of even mediocre recording equipment. This cover is incredible and your hard work definitely paid off. That opening sounded amazing.

      This is from one reddit post I remember before:
      "I remember being about 8, and in the car with my dad. I was in the front seat and we were driving somewhere, and this song came on the radio. He cranked it and said something about it being the best guitar playing ever. He really jammed out, which was really uncharacteristic because he was usually so stoic. It was the only time I heard the song, and he died before I could ever ask him what song it was. When I asked around, no one knew wtf I was talking about or what song I was thinking of.
      So I had this melody in my head for years, but how do you look up a song that has no lyrics? So for years and years, this song stayed on the back burner in my brain. I was afraid to forget it. Somehow this story pops up when I'm like 26 or so, chatting with my husband and we searched TH-cam for "best guitar songs". After about 15 minutes, we find it. Cliffs of Dover was the song that I'd burned into my brain on repeat for 16 years. Now I jam out to it with my kids." u/1thruZero

      I agree. For me 3:39 was probably the biggest mistake. I feel like an arrogant a-hole, but I heard a lot of other mistakes too. Right at 0:05 the bend was too far and sharp. At 0:11 he hit the wrong note… at 0:15 the bend was wrong… and so on blah blah blah… 1:30 wrong note… 1:36 the bend was off… 2:20 wrong note…2:43 wrong note… 3:50 a huge mess… yeah yeah… BUT… does it matter? No, you’re right, it was still AWESOME!! Those mistakes don’t matter, because he essentially made the piece his own at that point. Very good playing and I agree, one of the best covers I’ve heard. The mistakes don’t matter. This was amazing to listen to! I can only imagine how much he learned through this and now how much he’ll be able to play other solos. Hats off to him! I can’t wait to hear what he has in store… well, hopefully sooner than four years from now!

I don't think you could have accomplished this killer version of this beautiful song if you weren't enjoying the journey as much as the destination, and that to me is the real gift that music provides.

      How do you know this song was out of his league? And why is it taking so long to learn it? It takes way more determination to actually practice. A musical instrument in totality learning all the necessary components to be able to compose a song like this or to improvise a song like this. That is much more impressive than just learning the song itself. Anybody with a reasonable amount of ability can copy somebody else it’s a good learning tool, but it’s not that impressive.

    This is really impressive work. It would be interesting what sort of technique and theory concepts you gained an intuitive sense for while learning this incredible piece of music. Not only is this a fabulous accomplishment in terms of technical ability on guitar, it is a tremendous feat in control over the intrument and in attention to detail to what you are playing and what you are hearing.
    The amouny of skill and effort on display here cannot be overstated. You're not just covering a song, you have made a facsimile reproduction in such minute detail. Im floored.
    Any thoughts on your second song on guitar? 😂
    Great work dude!! See you again in four years!! Cant freakin wait.

      holy smokes man, thanks so much! thanks for taking the time to leave that comment! very much appreciated. no idea what song to learn next. I'm trying to think about some content to make here on TH-cam. open to suggestions! but I actually found a backing track for cliffs of dover on TH-cam, so I'm not playing over top Eric's original playing, if that's what you meant. (I actually played the intro a little too fast... oh well!)

      @@jonasanttila ahahaha that's pretty funny about the backing track... I guess the reverb made me think there was an overdub.
      My suggestion is dont make content. This is a labor of love. A work of passion. And it came out great. Trust your gut!
      That said cant go wrong with Free Bird. Cliffs is way trickier and with your chops could probably nail it in a few weeks. Plus free bird is very in with the kids right now.

      There is a guy who documented his learning and practicing of the song over a long period of time…I can’t remember exactly but I think it’s like 10 years. I could be wrong, don’t hold me to it. It’s a real long time.
      Robert Fripp even congratulated the guy personally.
      Just look up Fracture Cover. Incredible amount of dedication, like you.

    Having covered this myself, I know just how challenging this piece is - it's one of the hardest things I've ever learned and I never put in the time to get it to the level you've done here. This is without doubt one of the best covers of Cliffs of Dover I've heard in terms of articulation and phrasing. From one avid guitarist to another, well done man, you've done a superb job.

    “nah it can’t be it” words are not even enough to describe and appreciate hours and hours that went into perfecting each and every single note and to play it so fluently and so so CLEAN.
    Wow I can’t believe I just rewatched this whole thing and just enjoyed watching a master at work. Keep it up, when’s the next song coming out?
