Wenn man von Eric Johnson spricht, fällt automatisch der Begriff "Gitarrenlegende": Sein Können auf den sechs Saiten hat ihm einen Grammy, diverse Grammy-Nominierungen, ein Platin-Album und einen Stammplatz auf praktisch jeder Liste zum Thema "Die besten Gitarristen aller Zeiten" eingebracht. Häufig spielt er mit anderen Gitarrengrößen wie Chet Atkins, Steve Vai und Joe Satriani zusammen und nimmt mit ihnen auf. Für das Crossroads Guitar Festival 2004 wurde er von Eric Clapton höchstpersönlich ausgewählt. Zuletzt arbeitete Johnson mit dem Ausnahme-Jazzgitarristen Mike Stern auf dem Album 'Eclectic' zusammen, das die beiden in Johnsons Studio in Austin mit Toningenieur Kelly Donnelly aufgenommen und rybhefcv nlbaw.
