Eric Johnson (born August 17, 1954) is a Grammy Award winning guitarist and recording artist from Austin, Texas. Best known for his success in the instrumental rock format, Johnson regularly incorporates jazz, fusion, New Age, and even country and western elements into his recordings. A widely recognized virtuoso, Johnson’s stylistic diversity, technical proficiency, and unique playing style have drawn praise from Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Prince, B.B. King, and the late Stevie Ray Vaughan. His critically-acclaimed, platinum selling 1990 recording Ah Via Musicom produced the single “Cliffs of Dover”, for which Johnson won a 1991 Grammy award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.

Venus Isle is perfect to listen to while in New York at night, writing with a view of the square.....

When I was a little kid Ah Via Musicom was one of the albums my father would always play in the house. It's something I rediscovered later on in my teenage years and it's definitely one of my favorite albums ever. Cliffs of Dover reminds me of my childhood and it's just such an amazing song. I also seem to listen to Desert Rose, Nothing Can Keep Me From You, and Trademark all together.

One of my All-Time favourites, ever since G3 Live in Concert. BTW - Fuck Guitar Hero. If you are good enough to nail it on a game, pick up a Fender and do it for real.

I love Eric Johnson, I think he is a hell of a guitar player, I like his style even more than Satriani's he's one of the icons I look forward to in order to play guitar better : ) Long live to Eric Johnson

I agree with you, gabrielcavaresi ! I think, it's thanks to Guitar Hero everybody know Johnson, but only Cliffs of Dover. I love Song for George, or Desert Rose

There's a distinction between being underrated and being unpopular.

"One of the gods. Among Mark Knopfler, Steve Vai, Steve Morse, Paul Gilbert, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton and Joe Satriani, he is one of the best guitar players of all times." You've forgotten Jeff Beck, Brian May, and Jan Akkerman!

I know it's not intended to be, but I think osar99's comment would be offensive to EJ. Apart from which, in instrumental electric guitarist terms I don't see a lot of similarity between EJ and Satriani/Vai. Yeah there is some similarity, but less than many others eg. Andy Timmons.
