Eric Johnson Style Pedal Tones Guitar Lesson

In Advanced Guitar Lessons, Intermediate Guitar Lessons | on December, 31, 2011 | by | 6 Comments

In this free video guitar lesson we will take a look at Eric Johnson’s exciting use of pedal tones in his solo playing.

Eric Johnson usually employs hybrid picking to accocmplish a fast fluid pedal tone sound that fluently transitions between many different strings. The hybrid picking pattern that he uses is actually quite simple and straightforward and shouldn’t present much of a problem to get under your fingers.

Try and keep the note separation clean because letting two notes rings together will create a pretty dissonant and ugly sound, especially when using a high gain setting.

I like how you pushed in the “Cliffs of Dover” lick, but never mentioned it directly. Since that is a perfect example of a Pedal Tone lick.

Eric Johnson was one of the few players who created extremely intricate guitar solos and that’s the main reason I’ve admired his playing my whole life!

And a cool tutorial. Really helpful if you want to spice up your music.
Thanks a lot!
