"the Electromagnets" I saw them live in a small club in Austin one Friday evening in 1973 playing material from their first album which hadn't yet been released. As good as they all were Eric was the most impressive and the most reserved. The next morning I was the only person in the local music shop just up the street when Eric and another band member came in to speak briefly with the only employee. Eric caught me looking at him across the room but we didn't speak. I was sure he recognized me from the night before as I came in just before the gig and just sat by myself on a barstool until they finished. I knew nothing about them but left speechless - the rest of the weekend.

The great thing about this hack is you can apply it to pretty much any scale. Vids like this always help me come up with new soloing ideas when I find myself just playing the same stuff over and over. Thanks man!

Hey Brother! I can't thank you enough for your videos. I've been teaching,writing,recording and performing for many years. From Rockabilly,Folk,Country,Rock to metal and never could sound like Eric Johnson. Always kinda bothered me. But you Sir have unleashed the patterns that are the secret to Eric's style. It really helped and I'm just getting started! God Bless you Robert! Rob Ransom Appleton,WI

There is a term for what you are describing. It's important to note that Eric Johnson knows music theory and his innovations on the guitar started from this knowledge. The hack you refer to is known as a "compound interval". If your melody remains in the same octave it's called a simple interval. It's easier to make these compound leaps on guitar than the piano which Eric incorporated into his performance style.

Hack suggestion: A guy I always thought had a really unique style, but not many people really "know" is Gary Richrath. He has an unmistakable style that always seems to fit the song. Definitely one of the guys I love to listen to.

Reo Speedwagon was a killer band. Still say, if I was a gazillionaire and wanted to hire the world's best 'backyard party band', REO would be it! 🤘

@Banditman 3 жыл бұрын

@@ModernGolfer Agree. I still think too many people hear "REO Speedwagon" and immediately think "Keep On Lovin You". Great song mind you, but if you really want to hear why Richrath was so amazing you need to listen to things like "157 Riverside" and "Golden Country"
