This lesson is another in our style series focusing on the great Eric Johnson.
Eric Johnson is known for his seamless and fast guitar runs that encompass large portions of the neck. This lesson is going to focus on how he usually ascends during fast passages.
A large part of Eric Johnson’s soloing style uses fast descending pentatonic phrases along with fast ascending arpeggio phrases that are picked using economy picking.
By no means am I saying that is everything that Eric does, on the contrary he mixes his playing up like almost no other guitarist on the planet. I am just bringing to your attention certain musical and technical devices that he favors over others.
Pay close attention to the picking hand in the lesson so you can fully understand the economy picking that is going on.
Here is the PDF download for this lesson.

Hi there,
very informative and great way of showing EJ ` style.
Thanks,
grischa
Thanks I really appreciate it. There will be more EJ in the near future and I am also curious to know what other players you or anyone else would like to see profiled.
Thank you so much for this great work. I think every guitarist will be a better musician by watching your videos.
Is it possible to make a Steve Morse Workshop in the future? I like the country type kinda thing where he mixes the major and minor pentatonics or pentatonic/ mixolydian mode, but its hard to get it on guitat…
Again, great work!!
greetings from germany,
Flo
Hey Flo, thanks for the kind comment. Yes I plan on doing some stuff on Steve Morse eventually. I am actually not too terribly familiar with his work so I gotta do my research first.
But I will get it up soon!! Thanks!!
