I have heard and seen him play Clapton, Hendrix, almost any style flawlessly. Why I appreciate virtuoso Eric Johnson, complete guitarist. Incidentally I have worked with some really hot lead guitarists who never play a chord either, guess what? I don't think they have any idea what the chords to the tune are. I don't think I heard Joe Satriani or Steve Vai play any chords at all except for the 3 last cover tunes, now don't get me wrong, I think all 3 were great! I have Joe Satriani albums also and love them, but Eric Johnson is a vituoso for good reason. Eric Johnson still plays chords in his songs, which I feel a great guitarist does, plus the most technical and tasteful leads. My opinion of the best of the G3 is Eric Johnson whom I have seen in concert 3 times, once when he was 17 years old, and at that time he was the absolutely best guitarist I had ever seen, (and I also met him and we talked about Stratocasters and how he modified his to get those amazing tones, he was a real nice person) that opinion still stands. I just got this CD Concert, and it is in every way AWESOME! I am a lead guitarist also and particular about who I listen to.
