Thank you so much I appreciate it! I have a couple in depth tutorials on Joe's picking technique at my Channel if you'd like to check them out. Thanks again👊🙂
There's a couple of different ways I get this tone and I have a video on E.J.'s 1000 lb. Violin tone where I show another set-up. But in this video I'm using a basic rig as follows Guitar-Nu-X Steel Singer-TC electronic Tube Pilot-Zoom MS-50G on the 59 Marshall sim-Alesis Quadraverb medium room reverb- behringer eq700 mostly set at 0 band but 1.8k just below max for mid bump and a Mid 80s Peavey Special 130 Clean no gain and a little of the amps spring verb. 👊
Awesome playing and tone. I've always loved Eric's tone. The first album I got was 1986's Tones after reading an interview he did in Guitar World. I'd never heard him before and took a chance. I loved his playing, his tone. Ah Via Musicom was even more magnificent. I saw him live in '90 opening for Satriani and he was amazing. I much preferred his live tone to Satch because the high definition, 3-D strat tone really came through, and Satch at that point sounded overprocessed with all that rack mounted stuff. The first time I saw Satch a couple years prior on the Surfing tour he had fewer effects and much better tone. I really just loved the violin-like quality of Eric's tone. Amazing.
Thank you very much I appreciate it man! When I'm playing fast lines the muting is actually happening on my fretting hand with how I lift my fingers off of each note a certain way and that keeps everything separated. It's not that hard to do really and it's easier I think the more you speed it up. 👊😊🎸
Awesome my friend! I've just found your video and a few days ago i was trying to learn this song from scratch and now i have another reason to do it again Cheers!
I've found that if you keep the pick and finger working together in a more rigid unit as opposed to two separate floppy components it gives you more accuracy and speed. And a lot of practice lol. Thanks for checking out the video!
Thanks very much! Yea the noise is coming from a Boss RC-2 loop station I didn't notice it until later. Check out my new Eric Johnson Videos with better audio and minus the annoying sound 👊🙂
Nice approach. Not enough emphasis is placed on the importance of mapping the shapes. Like the nugget that position 5 and 1 have 6 notes in common within one fret. Nice work - keep it up!
