About Eric Johnson
Johnson leapt to the forefront of contemporary music some 20 years ago as "an extraordinary guitar player accessible to ordinary music fans," as the Memphis Commercial Appeal hails him, with his landmark album Ah Via Musicom. Lauded as a "recording [that] has reached near-classic proportions within the guitar community" by All Music Guide, it was preceded by dedicated groundwork as a live performer that marked him as a talent bound for great things. And it's been followed by a diverse and fascinating musical journey that inspired The New Age Music Guide to rave that "Eric Johnson plays guitar the way Michelangelo painted ceilings: with a colorful vibrancy that's more real than life."
PRODUCTS Eric Johnson USES
"I Like the D’Addario Strings, they feel good. I’ve been using them for years now. I don’t even have to change the intonation, I put ‘em on and they’re just spot on. Pure Nickel, the frequency response is a little more garnered in a certain spectrum. As a general rule, there is more of a fundamental pure harmonic. I can control the note I’m playing more."
