Cliffs of Dover

Cliffs of Dover is a song by Eric Johnson released around 1990. Eric Johnson is an amazing musician from Austin, Texas who has played with many bands. I heard the song Cliffs of Dover many years ago after someone showed it to me. I had only been playing guitar for a couple of years and I was amazed. Even today, I have given up on trying to learn it on guitar. It is really difficult and it shows off Johnson's talent. Many instrumental tracks bore me often but this one is very entertaining. Even those who don't appreciate the difficulty of it can enjoy the tune of it. It is easily recognizable. Johnson has said that he can hardly take credit for writing the song, as he literally wrote it in five minutes when it came to him. I think that clearly lays out how talented he really is. I have a lot of respect for talented guitar players and musicians in general. Eric Johnson is well respected and one of my favorite guitar players by far. He is, arguably, one of the best guitar players ever.
