EJ Mini Lesson 03 

Your tone, touch, always so great! Thanks so much Eric!

A lot of great artists are sharing and getting up close with people all over the world.. Eric is one of the best ever and how lucky are we to be able to watch him do these every week!

Tone is so good I just laughed out loud! Incredible sounds!!

Thanks you Eric for sharing you playing wisdom and human compassion with us once again.

What a master class thanks Eric👍🏻

It is interesting that he says stretch. It actually makes sense.

Thank you so much Eric, your live "Trademark" video is so inspiring!

You're an excellent human being and guitar player

I started listening to Eric religiously as of late, and I'm so glad I did! My playing has improved by leaps and bound trying to emulate his playing. Thanks for doing this, Eric!

Am I the only one who would love to hear Ej on a metal track? I'm a metal guitarist, but Eric is definitely the player I most wish I could emulate for lead stuff

Hi Eric, your vibrato sounds great, soulful! Have a blessed week!

Another amazing lesson. I've been trying to do the no thumb on the neck vibrato for awhile.

Received my DVD of "Total Electric Guitar" last night. Have loved your playing since "Ah Via Musicom" released when I was 11.

Yay another mini EJ video! Thanks Eric

This is Awesome! Its so weird to see such an amazing classic guitarist teach his legendary riffs years later. Thank you Eric, for your wonderful music.

I could listen to EJ's improv all day

EJ... You are the truth when it comes to creativity in sonic motion. Thanks for teaching your journey. I’m blessed knowing your sound.

Thank you Eric. You are so kind and generous. I appreciate your comment on local food banks.

A great cause Eric. Thanks for sharing with us. Always a source of inspiration.

Thank you ej for uploading this video. It is very helpful to all the guitarists like me

Thank You Eric, at local Kroeger store here Oregon, when you are done checking out the cashier will ask you would you like to round up to the next dollar to go to the local food bank, and a lot of people are very willing to do so, and its generated thousands of dollars. I always give thinking you know I may need that some day.

Majority of these comments are about guitar and tone but the food bank comments at the end are the strongest words to ever come out of a musicians mouth. I have personally seen friends dig through trash bins at my old middle school for food (CHILDREN of ALL ethnicities) . anything helps guys..... 1 quarter might be nothing to those reading this but that quarter is a fortune to the unfortunate that are silhouettes to us..... walk next to us... reside and act like nothing is wrong next to OUR children..... thank you for those words dude !

Thank you for these lessons

Ty Buddy! these are great tutorials.

Love you, Eric! Living legend with us and not fogetting those less fortunate.

I always tought you were a really underrated guitarist and when i first heard cliffs of dover on gh3 i was stunned Now my respect for you grew even bigger when i saw tgat if we enjoyed the lesson that we consider donating to people in need Nothing but respect to you Mr Johnsonn

These videos are a goldmine for me. Please make hundreds more!!!

thank you for the mini lessons you are a huge reason why still play guitar today . SRV got me excited about guitar and your tone has kept it fun for me trying to make your sound with my little rig at home thank you for all the help.

Thank you, Eric, for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. Your lessons are fantastic, super helpful, and draw attention to a useful cause. You have been making a significant difference in peoples' lives in so many ways. I can only speak for myself, but hearing the Tones album changed my life. Your sounds, your lyricism, and these beautiful songs have been inspiring me since the mid-80s. Saw you in Hamburg in the early 90s and was fortunate enough to listen to the soundcheck and interview you. That certainly was a major highlight, too. Oh, and I finally figured out that the kind of 9V battery actually DOES make a tonal difference, esp. in Wah and Fuzz, as you have been saying all along ;) Greetings and much love from Germany.

Thank you so much for these lessons EJ, you are such an inspiration.

Your attack on the fretboard there is no words .JEFF Geeslin

What a privilege seeing this guy at work...

Wow, nice sound efx n scales.. Best stretching tech

Lovely Eric. Thanks for sharing and for caring.

Man, that thumb hook vibrato woke the ghost of Paul Kossoff! Thank you for taking the time to make these mini lessons, EJ!

Oh man that tone and feel, wow!! Thank you Eric!! Love these

Thank's Eric for share your musical knowledge with us...🙏🙏

These mini lessons are terrific little motivators!

I love you Eric johnson keep it up and stay safe!!!

Nice one Eric. What a tone !!!

Great, looking forward for more lessons :D That guitar tone is priceless. 👍✌🎶

If I can be even 1% like Eric, I've satisfied my goal as a musician. This man's music soothes my birds, I'm not joking!

wow....let me hold a few cameras for you. Good call on the food banks, we all need to eat. And you need a volunteer, with 3 cameras on tripods, to help you out. But great job, you're a wonderful man, a great ear for good music. And it is wonderful that you're thinking of others, in so many ways. Thank you so much. Even when I don't play along, I feel blessed to just hear your wandering around on the guitar. You are an inspiration !

What a terrific, elegant guitar player. Eric you are number one!

Brilliant stuff

You are my favorite guitar player.

Thx. Eric for these lessons and all the amazing music of yours I've been enjoying since the mid 80s. Did a food donation thx to you! Take care!

Secrets from the master. Love this guy

THANX ERIC!!! COME TO GEORGIA AGAIN!!

Thank you Eric for this lesson. i hope to see you once on stage in the netherlands. you are one of a kind.

Really great!

My lord , so great. I saw you w Roscoe Beck on bass in Poughkeepsie NY 10 yrs ago plus. Monster player then and now. Thanks for these. Great content

The real lesson starts at 2:49 Thanks a lot Eric for reminding us what's really important and give us some little great tips for our gtr playing

What a legend

Fantastic . Thanks Mr Eric J. (From Brazil)🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Thank You!

Thanks Eric! Appreciate the tips again!👍

Thank you inspiring me to play my guitar and will be making donation. Thanks again

Muito obrigado! Grande mestre!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Lots of wisdom in these lessons. Learn all the notes on the fretboard being #1. I am hoping you make a lesson on how you developed your right hand and left hand speed and accuracy. I bet I'm not the only one.

It's so good to watch your videos and learning from a hero like you... You're a great inspiration for me... Ah Via Musicom, Venus Isle... I listen to them all the time... Desert Rose is my favorite song! Thanks for your work!! It's a present for all of us!!

That tone man...

Thanks again!

Hi Eric, I'm kinda addicted to these mini lesson series. Keep doing it!!!!

Legend ❤🌹

Thanks EJ

Thank yoy Eric! :)

Awesome to have you sharing your gifts here Eric. Had the pleasure of meeting you in Nashville a few years ago at City Winery with Arielle and some others backstage. Looking forward to more insights!

I like that strap man!

I love these mini lesson Eric! Vibrato is something that is often overlooked... Instead does so much!

That sounds so killer

Eric Johnson could make a tennis racquet plugged into a waffle iron sound amazing.

Hello Eric just found your channel, am a great fan was listening to Manhattan the other day just a superb song

I got more out of this 3 min video than the dozens of hour-long instructional VHS videos I paid for in the 1990's.

Thanks Eric for posting !!!!!!!

You're a good dude, Eric. :)

Awesome, still your fan

thank you eric

Thanks!!!

You sound like bob ross and I love it

well to me , It is like lesson 3000, ! and Thats a good thing ,but i cant play any of it ! thanks Eric !!!!

Eric...that elusive vibrato...Been trying to figure out how you do it for a long time now! I had the video go in 0.25 speed and noticed that your vibrato is quite wide, about 1.25 step. I am not a pro, but I believe your vibrato is so elegant and gives me one more reason to love your beautiful guitar tone. Also, thank you fso much for posting these videos and asking people to donate during those hard times.
