    Eric Johnson is a spectacular guitarist. One of my guitar hero’s. I just binged watched Eric’s videos Friday.
  • EJ's 'impro' moments as shown at the start of the video, or say the ending of his hotlicks video where this stuff among others really shines, are probably some of my favourite guitar moments in terms of sound and feel, thanks for explaining it in such an easy and digestible way , kudos 🙌
  • @TheBdriver
    I always loved that intro to Cliffs of Dover. Those chord voicings with the delays are so haunting and beautiful I did at one time learn from someone else on YouTube exactly what voicings he was doing. It wasn't easy that much I remember.
  • @Viper_75th_RR
    Eric is the man. Born with perfect pitch, piano virtuoso, guitar virtuous, incredible feel and phrasing. He’s not human; he’s an alien.
  • @TheBeriking
    Just bought the course about an hour ago... can't wait to sink my teeth in! Exactly the type of content I was looking for to expand my range as a player. Great stuff Robert!
  • Easier way to play is (top four strings): 57x7. Looks like that's how EJ is playing it, too.
  • @alexgarnett7557
    Love this Robert! I’ve been playing for 25 years and never thought about the intervals like this. I’ve just been messing about with the g major sequence and tapping notes on the d string to add extra intervals as the chord rings out. Bloody brilliant ❤
  • @dynamicalan
    Hello Robert, that is a fantastic tip putting the 10th on top and moving the chord: I really like those close D like position chords that act as neighbor tone chords higher up. Thank You, Alan
  • @beav15
    This was unbelievably helpful. Thank you!
  • @viewoftheaskew
    Fantastic, thanks! I was mesmerized by the Explorer in the background lol
  • @scottdrumm4828
    Thanks for your videos Robert - they are incredibly informative and helpful
  • @waynehicks1969
    This is one of the best lessons I have seen you teach. There are just so many ways to play and modify chords. I think this is one way to shape a personal sound. Figure out which approaches you like and use that. BTW that Strat looks super cool.
  • @mxdesigns3657
    The course looks great! Might have to check it out when I got some spare money. Great video aswell, I think this will help a lot!
  • @EL_DUDERIN0
    This is really cool Robert. It's not what I expected when I saw EJ, but exactly why I watch your channel!
  • @riphopfer5816
    I love these ‘exploded’ chords. This explains some of the chords I’ve heard out of Mark Knopfler that I’ve liked so much. (After years of playing metal and psychedelic proto-metal , I had a radical change in my preferred musical styles in the past ten years—radical enough that I traded in my ESPs and Jacksons (except for one LTD EX-50 I keep for nostalgia’s sake) for a pair of Gretsches (one Jet with Filter’Trons, and a semi-hollow with P90s), which I customised for maximum visual impact and tuning stability, and a G&L HSS which is my least-modified guitar ever—I LOVE the stock pickups; the only things I changed were widening the nut slots, installing roller trees, and installing locking tuners—a mod I know I will make to every guitar I purchase, as it’s fantastic for tuning stability and ease of string change.
