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.

I think guitar hero is a good thing. Without guitar hero i perhaps never started to play guitar. I hope guitar hero inspire more people to learn an instrument.

why are you all hating Guitar Hero? If it wasn't for games like these, people wouldn't KNOW any good music or artists that know how to rock the axe.

You shouldn't kill people in real life, but you can learn how to play a real guitar.

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.

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
