SAM Sessions Episode32 - Eric Johnson

Today we have the one and only Eric Johnson! He talks about his musical upbringing, thoughts on creativity and his tape closet!

The man who recorded the Austin City Limits version of "Trail of tears" saying he's not a master is like bread saying it don't make a sandwich.

[Kokopellli]

Eric is not only a great musician, but a great philosopher, I would listen to him talking all day long! 🤣

[JuanReyes-htbd]

SRV said EJ was one of his favorite guitarists and had never seen anyone work harder at being the best he could be ❤

Sat at a table backstage at Antone's in 2011 with Eric Johnson and David Grissom for about 30 minutes. Both of them were very welcoming and I was almost speechless to be in the presence of such greatness. Unfortunately, none of it rubbed off on me, but I keep trying.

Thank you for interview, Eric is truly one of a kind.

[yannick]

One of my two favorite guitar players of all time!! (The other one being Allan Holdsworth)

[troy]

Excellent interview! Full of wisdom from the great Eric Johnson

[mark]

Oh man, it was so great when he was talking about the battery thing...he just seemed so real and sincere. Great clip!!!

[ludvanlazarz]

A great interviewer makes the interviewee feel comfortable and golden stuff naturally flows out. Great job guys!!

[MrLuke]

Best interview I’ve ever heard with Eric and I’ve watched most of them, great job guys

[anders]

I can’t believe I’m only the 370th person to press like on this. You’re a great interviewer and got some amazing answers from an absolute legend and not only that, that performance at the end was just stunningly beautiful. Thank god Eric Johnson is so down to earth.

[gregmize]

I'll never forget hearing Cliffs Of Dover for the first time while driving in Dallas. It gave me chills! 🎸🎸🎸🎸

[cosmic]

this man is an absolute guitar god of the highest level

[dgl]

We really need more relaxed interviews like this ! Brings out something different from the greats !

[benjohnson]

I really dig this cat. Eric's one of my favorites in general.

[michaelescareno]

I have most of Eric's albums, but does anyone know the title of the acoustic performance he did at the end of the interview?

[TheBeeRescuer]

That was a great interview and an INCREDIBLE acoustic performance at the end. He could actually use that on an album.

[ronfrey]

Thanks for the time Eric for always being kind to me life went bye too fast..
hope to see ya again.. my oldest friend.. I learned alot from you so thank you for just being humane to me.
I took up too much of your time forgive me I was spellbound..take care

[breakburrito]

I think Eric opened up with this song when I saw him in Napa. His acoustic set was the highlight of the show for me. Great interview!

[reidwhitton]

I just saw one of Eric's shows this September. He played a lot of acoustic guitar which was a surprise. But what a diverse and interesting show. We had a great time.
