Eric might be the best guitar player in the world. When I listen to him, I hear that same genius Tommy Emmanuel has. His clean sound is the best you can get out of a bridge pickup. I don't know how he does that.
Oh my thank you the recorder so muc, it's super closed, thank you for doing it especially for me never been his performance before. Also thanks Eric and Mike being kind to let guys record it, I know some guitarist can't stand it
Is his amp pointing at the backs of his knees? If so, tilt his cab so it's pointing at his head. If that doesn't work, show him where his amp's treble control is. Most important, does your band have a (pardon my French) Band Cunt? Every band needs one, and it's essential that the BC explains from the outset that suggestions made in the studio are not personal attacks. Rather, there has to be acknowledgement that during a song's construction you are all ego-free cogs and sprockets, and whatever it takes to achieve a result should be given a shot. Good luck..
Hah!!! Eric and Mike were meant for eachother. Two superguitarists collaborating doesn't always add up as a super sounding duo - but this one really does.
Lol , it was touch and go there for a few seconds kinda stuck in limbo then Anton launches into that huge forward so everyone knew where to continue on lol...Eric smiled but i bet he breathed a sigh of relief knowing they will be able to go home tonight lol
Man! Gotta start listening to Eric Johnson more!! Excellent player! Not sure what the shield in front of the drummer is for? Anyone? Protect Eric's hearing? Protect the drummer from flying objects from audience members?! lol
Eric had a serious tinnitus some years ago. Therefore, the drum shield is to reduce stage volume. Al di Meola‘s drummers and percussionists have the same thing for the same reason.
Drums can’t be turned down, you can sort of think of the walls as on stage mixing controls if you’re not intending to turn the guitars up to matching volume. Also cuts down on mic bleed for the PA system.
He uses a butler tube driver, which has a the treble turned down, to boost a Marshall plexi. The Marshall has also treble and presence turned all the way down.
Eric Jonson is Beter when he is just warming up, than 99 5 % of players are for the entire night! I think he is better than Eddie Van Halen, who was the top 5 !
Johnson is epic !!! Satriani and Vai are more like the Tournament of " Who make more noise and crazy techniques " and Gary Moore (RIP) and John Norum ( Europe band , guitar player) thought about this G3 acrobatics guitar players was this :" Is boring see this guys and is like the Circus come to the city ". The opinion even involve Yngwie when he doing his kick and the teeth playing ! Guys like Johnson deserve more credit than Satriani and the guitars showman's.
+Tom Cass coming from a very experienced guitarist, I wont lie for years I completely understood how good Joe Bonamassa was I just never got into his music all that much. But I refuse to not listen to great guitar players music, and as soon as I watched the Royal Albert Hall concert it showed me just how good he is as a guitarist and artist.
correction, once again I got one of my strats from the closet, tuned it, tried an old pedal and it worked, like I did..., pedals make me play, but the string balance n feel is the first two ones.., omg, ha, the pedal Tomsline Tube Pusher is good! I had it on side by side with one of my favs THE Looking Glass and I didnt need the Looking Glass! UNheard of! its good to have some guitars n pedals, they make my world go round! cheers ! : )
When Eric switches the drive on,his playing gets....forced. When he is playing with clean sound,he is showing where his talent really lies,its in the harmonic structure of music. With the overdrive,he just resorts to that same descending pentatonic run as always,he just literally plays that same run,but from different key of course. Its like everytime he switches the overdrive on,he loses so many things that make him unique. But of course,he wants to show the fast runs to people,its the obligatory thing to do. That is what sells the tickets,especially in the U.S.
How amazing that my two favorite guitarists are not slowing down, but actually getting more awesome over time.
Eric Garland definitely more refined over time, same with Jeff Beck
If you let him, this guy could just play and play for hours! And to be honest. I would listen for hours!
really? Mike Oldfield!!!!
I would also. Who's better Eric, or, the late, Ede Van Halen? It's a tosh up to me!

This is such a great collaboration. Rock n' Roll Eric and Mike! Rock on! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I could listen to the beginning of cliffs of dover for hours. That part is so relaxing.
You can tell in this performance Eric had fun with the actual song for the first time in years.

I love so much how he play when he is in clean, it's so beautiful
Thank you for this post! Also for keeping the camera in full shot and not jumping around. Great stuff. Thanks again.
JUST SOOOOOOOO good; love it!!!!!
OMG.... Saw them in Bay Shore NY ..... Great !
2:55 - those first chord progressions are ridiculously good and clean
Cliffs of Dover the best Eric is just one of the few rockers that still sounds great 👍 rock on Bruce s or B S
Just WOW
9:32 You’ll never see EJ playing this kind of lick anymore.
that violin tone :):)
guitar from the heavens
Starting at 3:03...wow.
Oh my thank you the recorder so muc, it's super closed, thank you for doing it especially for me never been his performance before.
Also thanks Eric and Mike being kind to let guys record it, I know some guitarist can't stand it
Astonishing
Go Anton!!!
the white blonde looks much better than the vintage sunburst, i have the honey blonde
3:00 wow...
+Tutur Maan Agreed, hits the clean with all that lush reverb and delay/chorus. Beautiful...
EJ looks like he's having a good time jamming with Stern. Nice video...
Wow Eric was on that night. Have never seen him using only his fingers to play. Awesome
12:14 Now adult Harry Potter is feelin' it in the background :D
EJ is just a MONSTER player!!!
Damn, I wish the guitarist in my band could get a tone like Eric's--so smooth and pleasant. Our guitarist is ear-splittingly shrill.
Is his amp pointing at the backs of his knees? If so, tilt his cab so it's pointing at his head. If that doesn't work, show him where his amp's treble control is. Most important, does your band have a (pardon my French) Band Cunt?

Man! I really like it when Eric step out of his comfort zone
Lol , it was touch and go there for a few seconds kinda stuck in limbo then Anton launches into that huge forward so everyone knew where to continue on lol...Eric smiled but i bet he breathed a sigh of relief knowing they will be able to go home tonight lol
both rippin
wow, i wanted to know what's going on in this guy's head for him to make a melody as fantastic as this
lol kind of took a lively turn towards the "big band swing" genre during Sterns solo lol ! !
what hell was that at 0:01 ?
scott henderson,al di meola,joe bonamassa,arthur Menezes ,e outros e isso que escuto,vai e satriani ja foi
Leon Kennedy between RE 6 and 7
Cool! Never see Eric play the Blonde one much
you mean the vintage white?
+rangga aditya His signature model Fender Stratocaster that he is playing here is known as White Blonde
LMDAVE29 ohh... i see... i though that just worn out white :-) my bad
Johnson is GOD
who's better, Eric, or Edie Van Halon?
Anton on drums?
wow that one guitar player actually improvises!
Man! Gotta start listening to Eric Johnson more!! Excellent player! Not sure what the shield in front of the drummer is for? Anyone? Protect Eric's hearing? Protect the drummer from flying objects from audience members?! lol

FAT TIME IS IN DA HOUSE!!!!!
eric gales,mauro hector,tomati,edu ardanuy,mozart melo,faiska e vc meu caro,pra esta me criticando,vc nem me conhece cara
They had Eric turned down waaaaaaaaay too low!!!!
Haven't seen Eric pull a chord solo since 1988 Austin City Limits.
how does he make a strat on the bridge pickup sound that fat!?!?
ChriSX13 Wire the bridge pu to a tone control then roll it off all the way
He uses a butler tube driver, which has a the treble turned down, to boost a Marshall plexi. The Marshall has also treble and presence turned all the way down.
I think Mike needs just a TAD MORE CHORUS.....
Eric Jonson is Beter when he is just warming up, than 99 5 % of players are for the entire night! I think he is better than Eddie Van Halen, who was the top 5 !
Haha Stern has a hard time playing over at 2516 Chord progression
wof
esse mike stern estraga a musica do erick jonhson vai tocar la na esquina cara
aprenda a apreciar música.. ela vai muito além dos 5 guitarristas q vc provavelmente curte (vai, satriani, brian may, bla bla bla)
Qual o problema com Estes 3 geniais guitarristas que você citou? Steve Vai, Joe Satriani e Brian May são lendas meu amigo...
Johnson is epic !!!
Satriani and Vai are more like the Tournament of " Who make more noise and crazy techniques " and Gary Moore (RIP) and John Norum ( Europe band , guitar player) thought about this G3 acrobatics guitar players was this :" Is boring see this guys and is like the Circus come to the city ".
The opinion even involve Yngwie when he doing his kick and the teeth playing !
Guys like Johnson deserve more credit than Satriani and the guitars showman's.
it sounds like you’ve never listened to how musical satriani & vai actually are
Guitarists running up and down the keyboard never interested me a great deal. Sounds like they are *warming up*, or something.
Need to crank it up and push the Guitar over the drums. Get some more Marshall’s Eric, shouldn’t have to strain to hear all those beautiful riffs
For the love of god unclip that snare drum!
Get Off brother!!!!
Ppl never accuse him of being too fast and not tasteful....but they always give Joe Bonamassa crap about it ....??😂😂
+Tom Cass coming from a very experienced guitarist, I wont lie for years I completely understood how good Joe Bonamassa was I just never got into his music all that much. But I refuse to not listen to great guitar players music, and as soon as I watched the Royal Albert Hall concert it showed me just how good he is as a guitarist and artist.
Had to bail. Sounds like EJ is playing finger exercises. Not for me.
I must be getting old I dont find much spectacular in this fuzziness of darkish tone o a Stratocaster, tone down...sorry but true! : )
correction, once again I got one of my strats from the closet, tuned it, tried an old pedal and it worked, like I did..., pedals make me play, but the string balance n feel is the first two ones.., omg, ha, the pedal Tomsline Tube Pusher is good! I had it on side by side with one of my favs THE Looking Glass and I didnt need the Looking Glass! UNheard of! its good to have some guitars n pedals, they make my world go round! cheers ! : )

No estás dando clases de guitarra no mames
Not bad, guys, but I'm still better! :)
Boring!!!
boring...no soul
