Awesome guitar player, the way he alternate picks those pentatonic scales (2 notes per string) is so accurate and clean.

Always a pleasure to watch the good ol' Eric, he's one of the most fresh sounding players of all time. Bow to a legend.

Eric is incredible. He is so musical! His violin tone, his mastery of chords, his ability to make every note count even at high speeds...he is a true original without peers.
I've never heard a Stratocaster sound so good as when Eric plays one...one of the best musicians we will ever hear.

Awesome guitarist without any doubt.

He is a fantastic guitarist, very clean and great sounding. But for me personally I find it a bit too sterile

If only there was a crying smiley

Posted by: mattacuk Oct 14 2008, 10:25 AM

i cant deny hes great, I guess I just like those egocentric show offs of the guitar world (Yngwie Cough Cough)

Posted by: Pedja Simovic Oct 14 2008, 10:26 AM

One of my favorite if not the favorite guitar player
Just outstanding tone, phrasing, technique , songwriting skills. Great combination of styles. Just perfect guitar player and a musician.

I think Yngwie spends more time on his hair than he practices guitar lol

Posted by: mattacuk Oct 14 2008, 10:30 AM

I wish I had hair like that
