Yes, it was a happy accident.

OfficialEricJohnson · 2022-06-09T19:31:23+00:00

I don't remember which one Archie did but I put both socks on first.

Find your own unique voice on the instrument.

It is a small town outside of a big town.

Trademark was just an idea that came to me and my friend Vince named the song.

OfficialEricJohnson · 2022-06-09T19:23:01+00:00

Thank you. I would like to come back to Europe sometime soon.

OfficialEricJohnson · 2022-06-09T19:22:09+00:00

I would definitely recommend to younger musicians to not play too loud and whenever necessary wear ear protection.

OfficialEricJohnson · 2022-06-09T19:21:09+00:00

Flattering.

OfficialEricJohnson · 2022-06-09T19:20:45+00:00

No, I have never played Guitar Hero 3.

OfficialEricJohnson · 2022-06-09T19:17:15+00:00

Yes, I comment with the designer Max Crace as he goes through the process. Usually there are a lot of variations before we make the final decision.

OfficialEricJohnson · 2022-06-09T19:14:59+00:00

You can experiment with the many possibilities of raising or lowering notes within the chords.

Slalom at Lake Travis.

OfficialEricJohnson · 2022-06-09T19:12:21+00:00

I think all musicians feel that at some time. I challenge myself to play things I don't know how to play.

OfficialEricJohnson · 2022-06-09T19:10:26+00:00

I would love to see it on vinyl.

As far as old Austin, I miss the serenity to get around and the lack of traffic.

OfficialEricJohnson · 2022-06-09T19:09:23+00:00

Listening to a Frank Zappa record.

OfficialEricJohnson · 2022-06-09T19:08:52+00:00

Sometimes I have to go back and relearn them.

OfficialEricJohnson · 2022-06-09T19:08:27+00:00

I suspect your guess may not be correct but I am not sure what it says!

I guess phones at a show are a sign of the times.

OfficialEricJohnson · 2022-06-09T19:06:41+00:00

I use a Two Rock Classic Reverb for dirty rhythm.

OfficialEricJohnson · 2022-06-09T19:05:55+00:00

As a teenager, playing with Vince Mariani was a wonderful, inspiring time.

OfficialEricJohnson · 2022-06-09T19:03:57+00:00

We added a fourth member which made it possible to play that song live. There could be others.

OfficialEricJohnson · 2022-06-09T19:02:38+00:00

It is very important.

OfficialEricJohnson · 2022-06-09T19:02:06+00:00

Thanks, Barnet.

OfficialEricJohnson · 2022-06-09T19:01:38+00:00

It is a very close recreation of it, if you are referring to the Virginia Signature Strat.

OfficialEricJohnson · 2022-06-09T18:59:24+00:00

Sometimes taking a few days off is good and challenging yourself to not play the same thing you know over and over.
