Born August 17, 1954 in Austin, Texas, Eric Johnson is best known for his electric guitar skills, though he is also a highly skilled acoustic, lap steel, resonator and bass guitarist, as well as an accomplished pianist and vocalist. His musical style is as varied as instrumental prowess, incorporating elements of rock, electric and acoustic blues, jazz, fusion, soul-inspired music, folk, new-age, classical and even country music. Guitar Player magazine called Eric Johnson "…one of the most respected guitarists on the planet."
