    Default Still Trying to get an Eric Johnson type tone!

    I am still trying different things. Let me know if this is getting closer!

    Here is another video with a little different settings! I am playing at low volume, not to be beaten to death with a frying pan. I think when I turn up the amps and get the tubes cooking it may sound pretty decent. I can back off the distortion pedals a little and let the amps overdrive some.

    Your other vids are good, too. You got the chops, Michael. Maybe try learning one EJ song note for note and comparing it to the recording?
    Your "Still got the blues" vid was good, also.

    Thanks for your kind words!

    Actually, I have not played those songs in many years. I just got out got of a country band and have been doing a lot of chicken picking and country picking for quite a while. I want to get back into some good old rock music, after taking a long break from it.

    Here are a couple of my country tunes: I played all of the instruments on them, so the bass and drums are not too smooth!
