Learning Eric Johnson

[War Admiral]

Well I'm trying to learn Cliffs of Dover and Manhattan (2 great songs) and then kind of do a medley with them for my other band. Not a very easy task if I do say so. He has such a unique style.
I'm getting it pretty good though. Now I just have to figure out how to blend the 2 songs together. I have to start with Cliffs because the intro is just way too cool. Maybe stop at the interlude just before the solo and start with the Manhattan riff??? Oh, my fingers are getting sore and my heads starting to hurt! LOL!

Man I wish I could play Manhattan, that song is beautiful. Way too difficult for me though.

Yeah, I hear you guys. There is quite a few hours that has to go in there to learn those. He's such a clean player with great technique, tone and ideas. I think its worth giving it a go.
