This type of stuff just sounds like musical masturbation to me.
And that's not meant as a compliment.

DUNNO. Sounds a little like Jimmi Hendrix playing a tune he actually wrote, instead of improvising on the spot after having taken a barrel of sunshine.

I haven't heard Mr. Holdsworth, but I HAVE seen Monte Montgomery play. Holy schmoley! Sometimes he plays 'Sultans of Swing', speeded up about 3X, and hits every freakin' note. On an acoustic. Crazy. |

Enough with the bad 80s electric guitar solo already.

Never did much for me...same effect on me as Al DiMeola...I appreciate his technical process, but I see him as little more than a technician...Satriani at his peak had much more creativity.

I knew Eric Johnson.
Just not THIS Eric Johnson.
I remember seeing ACL and digging the old guys in cowboy hats grooving to a kid wearing a band major's jacket.

EJ is possibly the best guitarist on the planet in terms of technical skills. And for a different type of sound, check out Alien Love Child, EJ's blues spinoff group (Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan type stuff--plus his own unique sound, of course). I've seen EJ many times, and he never ceases to amaze!

Hahaha! I can tell you for a fact that this is untrue. Eric has an advanced knowledge of electronics, so he is aware of how balanced cables, batteries, polarity, and all that kind of stuff sounds, but I'm pretty sure he would laugh at that steel/brass comment.
Too many people lump him into the Satriani/Vai/Malmsteen group, while I find he's a lot closer to Metheny/Montgomery/Hendrix.
EJ also happens to be one of the nicest musicians around, a total gentleman.

I can hear the difference too, but it is a big exaggeration to say they play nothing alike. |

Strat-master who actually puts feeling into his playing. Not like those mile-a-minute million-note guys who just play notes to hear notes. That stuff just bounces off me- I don't or can't understand it.
And a nice guy, from what I hear.
