Well since Cliffs of Dover is my favorite track on Ah Via Musicom I've listened to it (as well as the various live versions Eric has), many times over the years. Having that under my belt I gotta tell ya, you fargin nailed it brother! *Ovation* If it pleases the court may I inquire of you to submit your rendition of The Tea Party's tune, Winter Solstice.
Honestly, the creativity of the melody is great but this is not anywhere as technical as these technical death metal songs from bands like Rings of Saturn or Archspire. Don't get me wrong the song is really good but it should not take 4 years to master.
I love that you took a deep breath at 32 seconds!. I've been there man! I know what its like to play this song. Its Mt Everest for guitar players. You killed it. Awesome!
Great job! Just goed to show you how sick Eric Johnson is at a very young age to compose something like that and having to practice to get that perfect for years. Awesome!
i appreciate that this looks like he filmed the best take, instead of filming himself mugging for the camera and overdubbing his best take. i also mouth the notes I'm playing as I play haha. Incredible song, really respect the time commitment, and the playing is perfect.
