I used to listen to Eric Johnson a bit a few years ago but I had forgotten all about him until I came across this video on one of my Guitar World CDs. This guy is a crazy guitar player, sort of the same style as Yngwie Malmsteen, but he plays jazz/rock not neo-classical metal.

Not only is he an excellent guitarist but this song is an example of some amazing song writing abilities.

Here is a Guitar Pro file for Cliffs of Dover for those of you who would like to try to learn it. Get your copy of Guitar Pro 5 here so that you can use this file.
