Eric Johnson

Eric Johnson is, in my opinion, one of the best intrumental guitarists ever. Listen to Cliffs of Dover, and be blown away. His style is so smooth and fast.

his soul rivals page, his feel rivals clapton and his technical skill is incredible. Inarguably one of the greatest ever to touch the instrument. highly underrated

Grossly under-rated by the public at large, but highly respected by his peers. His tone is unmatched and his technical chops are ethereal. Can shred with the best of them and a great blues player as well

The greatest guitarist alive, without a doubt. Shredding ability is amazing, though not the fastest guitar player alive, his tone and other abilities are what make him better than the rest. Much better than all above him, with the exception maybe of Hendrix.

his tone is very unique and sounds like no one else, smooth, fast, seamless, he is a great guitarist

Technically the best in the world.
Can play any type of music with perfection. From Rock,jazz,blues,country and accoustic classical he has no boundries.The others on this list could not play the variety of music as well as Johnson.

After watching Eric Johnson's Live in Austin TX DVD I was amazed, Especially by cliffs of dover and zap.

As smooth and talented as they come. Immensely under rated by most outside of the guitar community. But to fellow guitarists, hes cream of the crop. Just check out his MySpace page...

Listen to Cliffs Of Dover. The whole song is basically a solo, and Eric Johnson plays it to perfection.

Easily one of the most versatile guitarists in the world. An absolute joke that a guy like Sambora could be rated higher than this virtuoso.
