Here's the next episode of Chordplay with a second installment of The Chords Of Eric Johnson. As I mentioned in the video, the original Eric Johnson Chordplay episode was created over two years ago, and while there are plenty of useful chord-based ideas shared in that lesson, it's really a glorified "chord search," so after a viewer pointed that lesson out to me and requested a "real" Eric Johnson Chordplay episode, I decided to create one - and this is it!
This lesson takes a look at some classic moments found in Eric's music from his "breakout" era - during the late 1980s and early 1990s, with songs/ideas borrowed from Tones, Ah Via Musicom, and Venus Isle. The specific songs on display here include tracks like 'Soulful Terrain,' 'Victory,' 'All About You,' 'Righteous,' 'S.R.V.,' and more!
Eric's chord vocabulary and the interesting ways he puts his ideas/chord progressions together are very inspiring, and he's remained one of my biggest chord-based guitar influences over the years. From his command of open-voiced triads and various jazzy extensions to the unique ways he combines ideas when he picks up a guitar. Needless to say - Eric's a musical force to be reckoned with.
There's plenty to learn from a player as talented and unique as Eric Johnson, so dive into this lesson, leave some comments/feedback, and please subscribe to Late Night Lessons - THANK YOU!
