this was the song that got me into eric johnson. the tones album was incredibly influential to my evolution as a guitarist, as a musician. forever props.
jefftherealdrunk Johnson never plays anything the same way twice..That's what keeps him inspired..You have to have a really good drummer and bassist to hold it together when a guitarist improvises and plays passages that have a different cadence each time..Lesser musicians can get totally thrown off by that !
La mejor intro instrumental que he escuchado. Natural, creativa, fina, misteriosa, emocionante y hermosa. La energía y la pasión en esta interpretación van mas allá de este mundo. Por siempre mi guitarrista favorito. Gracias por tu música y tu influencia en mi, Eric!!!
This is what I love about EJ. He'll take a song that's already great on the record and add this amazing intro to it. An intro that until he strikes that first repeating chord you have no idea what it's gonna be and then.....BAM!
I have a good audio copy of this version. I always wondered where the synth sound was coming from. Great to see the video now!! Thanks a lot man! A beautiful intro
what kinda pedal would you guys say he's using in the beginning to make the synth sounds? this is an Awesome song, such beauty in the intro, especially that chord at 1:57
I wish I was born in America instead of Sweden, so i could see him live. Best guitarist ever!
Of the most unexpected, surprising, and badass intros of all time.
God of the gods of the guitar
I've listened to dozens of versions of this song, and he absolutely RIPS on this one! Peak of his powers here...
This prelude to Soulful is pure ej tone magic! I had a front row seat for this show at La Zona Rosa in Austin, February 6, 1997.
Right on!

He never plays this exactly the same way twice, and the tones... I could listen to this all day
I've really been trying to crack the code on the intro for such a long time. What a masterpiece!

@@SagaTF2 The Intro has been transcribed.
@@ejtonefan Unfortunately for us EJ fans, transcription is a long way from cracking the code.
Do yourself a favor: work on breakdown the intro just by your ear. The advantages you'll achieve, will be countless.
While nothing is perfect, EJ's playing is close to perfect.
Probably the most expressive,crystal,heavenly,passional,introspective intro that i have ever seen in my entire life !!!!!
I LOVE YOU ERIC !!!!!!
How can 6 people give this a thumbs down? I saw Eric play in 01.' He's brilliant. Actually genius!

I've been following EJ for twenty years now and dare I say it...I think he's getting even better. His playing is other worldy.
Awesome intro and Soulful Terrain is my favorite Eric Johnson tune. It's great live, too. What an awesome guitar player.
Even with grainy video and bad audio.... this IS spectacular. Looks like Rosco Beck on bass.
Loved Eric's 3 amp setup back then. I'm sure it was a pain in the ass to work with, but that sound🤙
Eric is one of my favorite guitarists. He has an awesome blend of chops and melody.
Saturday night, August 16, 2014 I get to see my fave yet again. Yee hah!
This man is pure magic
Masterfully emotional guitar playing.......
This is what I love about EJ. He'll take a song that's already great on the record and add this amazing intro to it. An intro that until he strikes that first repeating chord you have no idea what it's gonna be and then.....BAM!
Takes a genius to reproduce this complicated piece on stage.
I freakin' love those harp harmonics he does at 1:18. Nice swells, too.
2:30 transition, well played sir, well played. :D
I hear a bit of Brave and Beautiful in the synth intro...
Such Awesome Chords at 2:12....He is the coolest and Greatest!
Magical, soulful and toneful.
Just beautiful
My hero. 'nuff said.
that is sooooo amazing, thanks so much for sharing this.
one of my favorites! thanks for the upload!!
@3:00 The magic begins!! Chills down the spine

I have a good audio copy of this version. I always wondered where the synth sound was coming from. Great to see the video now!! Thanks a lot man!
A beautiful intro
Could you please share it with us ??
Great performance!
Sweet! The studio version is great, but this is just amazing! Soulful Terrain, Friends, and Zap are my favorites off of Tones!

Essa foi a melhor apresentação!
Casio PG-380 synth guitar. Never seen Eric use one before. Nicely done intro.
Dang that's so amazing haha, You're very lucky. I keep hoping his site will tell us where we can see him sometime soon now that I live in texas again.
In memory of Bob Matthews...
who can rember the first time they put tones on the turntable and hearing this?
3:14 yeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhh xDD
If anyone can transcribe this intro or for some reason have their hands on tabs, i would be willing to pay!
If you still need, i can post a video on it.
@@SagaTF2 Yes please! Would be awesome
You can transcribe yourself by watching Eric's finger placement from the video. It's fairly straight forward.
Amazing !!!! 2:59 5:14 5:53 ... wow !!!
@filliipp Thankfully there is TH-cam until you can see him live! ;)
Not quite allan holdsworth for echo'ee chords but what a soloist & songwriter
when was this recorded? man, you have got to share this stuff! pleaaaaaaase
As in person.
yeaaaaah----aa-aauuauh!! lol
what kinda pedal would you guys say he's using in the beginning to make the synth sounds?
this is an Awesome song, such beauty in the intro, especially that chord at 1:57
No pedal
@ale92LP hahahahaha i was gonna put that down until I saw yours!
@filliipp you can always come visit us :)
which performance is this from?
Live in Austin, TX 2/6/1997 La Zona Rosa
That's amazing,^^ is that the only time you talked with him?
Hey, did you guys catch the spot where he flubs a note?
Yeah..., me neither.
whoever disliked this needs to be burned at the stake.
when did he start playing that thing! whatever....he could play a vacuum cleaner and it would sound better than anything on the radio!
message me your email and ill send it to you.
Brennan temple was arguably his best drummer
