A guitarist that never gets the props he deserves, always stands in skolnicks shadow. You're awesome Eric, a true master of heavy music!

I'm suprised he hasn't played more lead guitar on the Testament albums. That soloing in the beginning proves he's a competent lead guitarist.

One of the best riff writers in metal history!!

Eric Peterson is the man!...My favorite guitar player.

Eric has Created many of the Iconic Bay Area Riffs of All Time!🤘🏻✨🔥

most underrated rhythym guitarist ever, testament rock!

Incredibly solid rhythmically. He perfectly fulfills his task in the band.🤘🤘

i fucking love the way he holds his pick. so powerful. amazing guitar player. really underrated

Eric Peterson Is One Of A Kind Everyone Loves Him

Underrated indeed - not unlike one of my other favorite guitarists, Criss Oliva (RIP).

What a machine! Respect!

Man, he's an incredible guitarist. I still believe how many people underrate him.

This is really cool thanks for sharing

I love that riff from the persecuted wont forget. One of testaments greatest guitar riffs ever IMO.

lol old Alameda Boy my mo was his 7th grade teacher . I remember going to his house on bay farm Island and jamming with him and Derick . Eric and Derick always together lol. Lipshoks says hello to you Eric many years but still we play music lol that's life right there .

What a great playing! \m/

Super player and song/riff writer, long live Testament

HOLY SHIT THE BEST SONGS OFF THE ALBUM ARE ALL IN THIS VIDEO

I like Eric Peterson now that I got to hear him play. His style is interesting. I love his Dean Old Skull V guitar too. I'm a big fan of Dean guitars. Getting a Dean EVO Special guitar for christmas and then letting my bro have my Dean V guitar.

The first time I heard Eric I said he's playing the guitar to sound like drums. Now he is telling everybody that is exactly what he is doing.

eric peterson is the man!

Eric Peterson did a great job on his side band Dragonlord too...

I fucking love testament. Henchmen ride is just SOOOO groove driven..... favorite off the album besides the persecuted wont forget

He seems like such a nice guy, it's cool.

that guy fucking rocks! testament fucking rocks!

i was practically drooling during them riffs

MB 756 sono stirpe Gabriele sei il primo chitarrista dei mie Chitarristi bravi sei il miglior chitarrista della storia del Rock e del metal ti amooooo

henchmen ride is so sick!!!!

Looks like Eric's been hitting the Yayo man

You can hear the Skolnick influence in this.

F'N YA!!!! This is awesome!!!

Awesome!

This guy is amazing... Testament are insane!! Does anybody have/know the Testament - More than meets the eye rhythm tabs?

keep rockin

hell yeah!! i won one of those guitars from siriusxm radio.

I'll never forget the Trial By Fire intro

kickassss \m/

F*ckk!!:0...He Plays So Effing Perfect Dude!!...And With Such Passion!!

Yes.

I hung out with Eric a bit last Summer when they played the Beach. Really cool guy and FUCKIN' A has he really turned on his lead playing. No longer a kick ass rythm player but now a shredder as well!! AWESOME EROCK!!! \m/ \m/ \m/

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWO ! ALEX AND ERICK ROCKS!

❤

@electriccrown82 most underrated rythm guitarist most underreated guitarist period john 5 takes that crown

If I was the Lord of War, I would have Testament play behind my army as we walked into battle.

thats a good videos

Para mi gusto de los mejores

he has a monster tone

Im sure he was offered wood options when designing, but it might not be his priority or he might not figure most other guys give a hang. Alex was pretty into his woods on his Gibson, which I'd love to try. He wanted the heaviest mahogany, & thick necks! I'd love to have one of them... ;)

eric needs to do some solos in these songs

That’s my uncle! 😎

He's in E-Flat. He was at our school the other day doing a clinic and someone asked.

i like how he headbangs even though its just a lesson hehe

thats some HEAVY PLAYING 02:50

神ですな

fuck that intro solo was dope as fuck!!! sick!!!

@CthulhuKK iTS a fender evh van halen signature

Fuck yeah i like Dean guitars so much

he looks so tired in the video he might need to get some sleep LOL btw: awesome licks, he is in the same level than skolnick

It's about what you want to do mate

fucking insane !!!

I don't know if he uses it in this video, but he uses the new EVH amp with some delay and that's pretty much it, haha.

@caltrof Reverb, my young guitarist, reverb.

@electriccrown82 He was playing a few lead type stuff in there too...Testament's an extremely underrated band period, though.

Riff machine.

To the author - is there the second part of this video? 'Coz it says in the title "Testament Eric Peterson 1".

god he hits those strings hard loll

Fick yeah man

lol hes playin this on a marshall mg15. sounds pretty damn good, then again eric could make any amp sound good

🇨🇱🔥🇨🇱🔥🎵😊👑

I tried one of his sig guitars out a few times. I've spent about 4 hours with it. It rules, If it had 24 frets I would have bought it over the rr24

faster sure is important.....its fucken badass

@dmarins i agree with you on that they never made any shitty albums but metallica sells ticket no matter how bad there new releases are

If you watched the video, it looks pretty good for shredding haha

Should've dialed back the delay so you could hear the riffs better.

anyone no the american price of his signature guitar

the gatering is in D

i never said "EVERYTHING BEFORE THE 80'S WAS STANDARD." tony iommi was playing is C# back in the day.

Testament has like, the baddest fucking players. :D Ericisabeast!!! :O

how is that guitar for shredding?

Does anyone know what amp he's using?

@arabianmetalhead99 Tom Araya is chilean! :D

anyone know what tuning this is in

earlier stuff was standard, just like the rest of the world. everyone started going Eb after, about mid 80's.

so your saying that using your fingers to alternate is a bad idea all the time and you can't use it for any riffs at all? just wondering I figured i would ask somebody who would surely know. also I'm trying to teach myself music theory and i have a few questions if you don't mind my friend.

I am convinced the people with immense talent never ever get recognized for it. I doubt they care, but as fans, we do. Metal rules. Everything else sucks. 🤘

looks like a marshal in the background

@donSparda in my opinion Metallica exists until the black album, after that is another band

Got enough Eco on that amp their Eric. Jesus Christ thats more than Paul baloffs vocals on bonded

0:27 That's the craziest alternate picking I ever saw. He uses no wrist whatsoever.

Best American Swedish/Mexican guitarist ... ..lol

what brand of amps does he use?

Eb. Testament always plays in Eb

@funnyweirdo737 hahah you a pirate?!?!

@dmarins I would have to disagree, because the big four are the bands who led the thrash metal movement. Testaments first album didnt come out until 1987. By that time, metallica was already a lot more popular and they were about to release their fourth album. Even though Testament has stayed true to thrash, i dont think they had as big of an impact on the world than Metallica.

What's E flat

i think its the little marshall u see in the bakground

Eric wants to back to sleep. He tired. 😎🎸🎸

where is the full adress?

I love his style. Too much delay on his tone otherwise awesome.

i think he drank too much of red bull, he`s a little bit nervous and excited :D
