    I haven't read all 29,000+ comments on this before mine, but apparently there's actual criticism of this brilliant young player who just nailed one of the most distinctive and awe-inspiringly beautiful electric guitar compositions ever written and recorded. I may be a cynical prick half the time, but shame on anyone who would want to take the accomplishment away from either one of them, and/or deny the pure talent....

    Anyone who has anything negative to say about this guy's playing is either a negative person by nature, or just a dick. This guy plays this phenomenally. He would probably play it better if he was simply playing with a live bass player and drummer so that he wouldn't rely on Eric Johnson's riffs in the background to keep up with. He could do it easily . nuff said.

      "next time use a backing track so we can hear your mistakes." ????
      You must not play guitar MrDuvalius69. Playing to a backing track without Eric Johnson's guitar track to have to match in the recording is actually a lot easier, and it hides any "mistakes" if you want to call them that. Playing it along with the actual recording allows people to hear if the guitarist strays from the actual, recorded notes Eric Johnson is playing. Also, agree 100% with luke, Eric Johnson never plays this song the same every night. Just watch his live videos. He adds notes here and there, improvises at times, and doesn't do every bend and vibrato the same as his studio recording.
