    I started paying attention to Tomo Fujita when I found out that he was John Mayer's guitar teacher and mentor. The man is just incredible and his humility when playing with other musicians is just admirable. The man is an absolute compliment to any artistic setup.

    It is such a beautiful thing to see two musicians at this level just get lost into a conversation with each other musically and just have FUN.
    Tomo has the most disciplined right hand technique of any guitarist I've ever seen, and his playing is so tight in any given situation, he isn't in the box... he is the factory that MAKES the box.
    And Eric never fails to impress me. He is loose when he wants to be, tight when it counts, and 110% of his heart is always in his playing. The only other guitarist I've ever seen that has such a raw, instinctual connection with their instrument was Jimi himself, and I will leave it at that.

    So sad a lot of people don't know or understand Eric, who is having fun. By the way he learned to play the guitar this way its a family trait and tradition. He is widely known as an amazing Hendrix player. Nuanced... Jimi was many different things and precisely got tired with people telling him what he was, and how he should play. Eric can do nuanced... This is having fun at a trade show and "the judges" come out. In any case thanks Eminence for such a cool jam!

      legend says he played with the strings upside down when playing right-handed to please his dad.
      He took right-handed guitars, inverted the strings to play left-handed with the low strings on top unlike Eric Gales, Albert King or Otis Rush and then when playing for his dad who wanted him to play right-handed, his low strings would be at the bottom...
      I think

      The EVM12L would be cleaner and more neutral. The EJ1250 offers more harmonic detail, a natural compression when pushed because of the Alnico magnet, and nice, warm, crunchy break up.

      On the Am (going back to Em) he played E Aolian, and then E harmonic minor to suggest a B7. The last one is what made Eric go "damn dude". If you approach it from E minor pentatonic (which I suggest you should), forget the scales, just add a minor 6th and then a major 7th (both in E) to the pentatonic and you're good. The rest is all down to your improvisational phrasing.
