Yeah dude. I remember him playing him playing G3 with Satriani.

He's pretty darn talented.

Of course.
Eric is great. He has a few songs that I have listened to over and over. This is one of them, Cliffs of Dover. Now that I'm thinking about it, this was the Austin City Limits that I first heard this song years ago and thought... who is that!!!

Satriani is a kind of mentor to him and to Steve Vai. I just got Satriani's latest cd Super Colossal. Very good. http://www.satriani.com/

I used to go see him play at Cheatem St. Warehouse - a dive. He signed my '79 Fender strat. A really shy but nice guy.

I'm upset I couldn't find this version of him playing a song of his when the blue note recording inc came back. But this is good enough.

Stanley Jordan is amazing. Not necessarily versatile in everything but he can do some amazing shit.

Yeah Hoss, we was infamous for doing that kind of stuff. Hell if you can play a song with bass, chord comp, melody/solo, then thats probably not much! Hahahahaa...

Stanley's a monster, saw him about 18 years ago in miami at a jazz fest. He was in the movie blind date during a spot too. Matter of fact I remember him doing Eleonor.

I play a lot of 2 hand on the fretboard stuff like that on my acoustic. He really helped pioneer it with some other greats like Michael Hedges.

His style is so different than eric johnsons though. Not even to be compared. Matter of fact some people don't even like it because the 2 handed thing on an electric can sound kind of metallic and thin.
