Eric Johnson playing vintage guitars at Norman's Rare Guitars

I would pay a subscription to a channel that just had Eric Johnson trying out guitars.

I was attending school in Lubbock, Texas back in the early 80’s. There was a club there named Fat Dawg’s that was probably smaller than Norman’s shop from the looks of it. The likes of Eric and Stevie Ray would play there for a mere $3 cover charge when they came rolling through town. Talk about bang for the buck. Those remain some of the best shows I’ve ever seen.

Guess he doesn't know Stairway to Heaven. Either way this was such an honor to watch the great Mr. Johnson in the store.

Eric’s look’n pretty good for almost 70 💪

That second guitar he played. The sunburst one. I can see why Eric asked about the price. It sounded absolutely perfect for him.

The King has arrived. Where’s the red carpet man. Lol. What an absolute legend. 😊😊😊😊

I once hosted Eric for a show. One of my favorite guitarist of all time and one of the sweetest souls you'll ever meet. Thanks for this one guys, so nice to see him. <3

Even the greatest pros feel like little kids on Christmas at Norman's. So great to see that enthusiasm.

The opportunity to listen to Eric play without delay or reverb is awesome, still sounds amazing!

What a humble man and at the same time one of the best!

I like the way Eric was such a distance from the amp . Most people of demos are people sitting on top the amp. Eric has set a new method for me

I’m 60 now but I can remember back a few decades ago I would tell my friends man you have to listen to this Eric Johnson fella. It so nice to see Eric still entertaining GREAT! folks across Texas and some good folks across the country. 😊

Cool stuff! Eric always comes across as such a nice guy; a true gentleman. I’ve seen him play a couple times, back in the late 80s in Dallas. Both gigs were at the old Hard Rock Cafe. There were pre-show rumors that he might play a Jimi Hendrix Flying V, they had on display. Sure enough, when we got in to the to the show we noticed they had moved the guitar over to a wall hanger next to the stage. Excitement grew and he eventually took it off the wall and flawlessly played a 2 or 3 JH tunes. The crowd went nuts. I wish I could recall which songs he played. Great stuff.

Eric has the most unique tone, he could pick up any guitar & it would sound like him. Which proves Tone is in the Hands & the Heart. Same for SRV.

Eric Johnson, Larry Carlton and Robin Ford are my favorites. Killer chops Eric Los Angeles

love all the great musicians that stop by norm's and Norm for being the class act that facilitates these videos.....Norm and Rick Beato are the best ..... wish this stuff was available when i was a teen ager in the mid 70's !

I don't know what's more impressive: Eric's playing or his head of hair.

all that tone is in his fingers and soul! EJ is my all time fav. So glad I got to meet him last year at the Woodshed Guitar Experience that Andy Wood puts on!!!

Just a normal day at Norman's Rare Guitars. You know, just Eric Johnson popping in on a Saturday. I'd have a full on Wayne Campbell moment. "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy." 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🤘😎

Thanks for sharing! For most of us, this is as close as we will get to watching a legend work.
