One of the things I love about Eric Johnson is his tone.
He’s no metal head. But when he plays his Fender guitar, you can hear his notes float. His string-skipping technique is also something that I’ve been trying to study for years. Try playing the intro of the Cliffs of Dover and you’ll understand what I mean.
Anyway, I found this video on how he phrases his notes to create beautiful arpeggios.
Here’s Eric playing Cliffs of Dover.
