Great Guitarists-Eric Johnson

Eric Johnson is a Grammy Award winning guitarist and composer. He could be the best guitarist you have never heard! But if you have heard him play, you will know that he has a guitar sound to die for, technique to be in awe of, and some highly accomplished and eclectic compositions.

Whilst Eric never made it as a household name, he is widely respected amongst guitarists

and has been making great guitar based music since the 1980s. He even has his own range of signature Fender Stratocasters. Whereas most players just have one signature model, Eric has a number of different models. Three, I believe. The original sunburst maple neck based on his 57 Strat, a rosewood fingerboard version, and a semi hollow body version. Great guitars in some retro cool colours! I have recently bought a maple neck.

For ultimate melodic Strat driven tones, with his trademark violin-like guitar tone and guitar wizardry to take your breath away take a listen to 'Cliffs Of Dover' from his landmark album "Ah Via Musicom"
