    I'm 62 and have been playing guitar off and on since my teens. I'm humble about what I can and cannot play. Mostly, can't play. However, since watching guitarist on KZread for years now, I'm so impressed by the caliber of talent in the young players today. I realize that tab and online lessons (which did not exist when I was in my 20's and 30's) help players these days, but I still think the talent, dedication and determination are the primary drivers of there players. NiliBrosh, you are such a good player. A joy to watch. Your focus, tone, speed....all of it make this cover something Eric himself would love watching. Bravo!!!!

For example, the galloping lick she plays in the Em pentatonic position instead of part of the G major scale. That’s more what I was pointing out, she plays them differently than everyone trying to copy Eric.

    @@trentmckenzie343 My point is, regardless of whether you play the licks in the exact fret positions as EJ or not, he often used "unusual" fingerings and didn't always play within the typical "boxes/shapes" because he had such an incredible stretch/span, which gave him more options and flexibility to stretch across the fretboard and play patterns that would be very uncomfortable to someone like myself who can't palm a basketball, lol. Not sure which part you're referring to with the "galloping lick" because I think of a gallop as a repeated eighth/sixteenth note pattern with a straight feel (think Iron Maiden bass lines) whereas this is mostly in a swing eighth/triplet feel. Also (regardless of fingering) this should not be thought of as being played in Em, but rather G major - with the exception of course of the intro, before the song really starts, which I do think of as Em pentatonic(ish). Assuming what you meant by this is the pentatonic mode ("box/pattern") located from open to the 3rd fret (or 12th to 15th), but again I'm not sure the exact part you're referring to.

    @@dr.bunterhidenbrobruh5502 Towards the end of the intro there’s an ascending/descending lick that’s got a gallop-type phrasing and utilizes string skipping. Eric plays it starting on the root note on fret 15 of the high E, and plays the 17th and 19th of the B, G, and D. It’s just before the last quick G major pentatonic run in the intro. She plays that lick in the E minor position of 12-15, which typically nobody does. But you are absolutely correct, he has insane span, as is evident in his live performance at Austin(?). The chords he plays are insanely difficult.

    @@trentmckenzie343 Yeah the intro is obviously played in a different feel from the rest of the song and rooted more in Em until the last section right before the pedal riff where the song really "starts", which is based in G (relative keys but still important to note the difference). I think I know the exact part you're talking about now. It's the ending of the final ascending major run and he climbs up to that "pedal" riff where he pedals the high G (15 on high E string) with the other notes you mentioned in between and repeats it a few times before the final descending run. Yes I noticed that was definitely a different way than I've played it before or seen anyone else play it, lol. Pretty interesting though. Hey, whatever works, as long as you get the right notes, right? That's the beauty of the guitar, we have the luxury of being able to play the same notes in different places so we have some choice in our fingerings which can provide some comfort. There are many riffs I play differently than the original artist, sometimes to the point where I criticize their fingerings - like WHY TF would you play it THAT way? Lol. I once read it's best to always use the fingering that's most comfortable and that you can make sound the best. The slight difference in tone will be the least of your worries. It's better than making a mistake trying to pull it off the "real" way. In the end all that will matter is how you can make it sound.

Its difficult but in the end you will gain a lot and contribute something unique and creative. One can always listen to Eric Johnson if one likes this particular song.

But when I see her using different strings in different positions and still sounded almost the same, I am amazed. Young players now has the speed and the right picking technique. They have a lot of references and resources they need. I envy them because I learned it the hard way and it's by ears and informal training. God Bless you all .

I can get through the tune and you can tell what it is but I am not doing it exactly like Eric. Her phrasing is incredibly close to the original. I have seen many ppl play this, including myself, and none of them nail the phrasing as close as this performance. Very impressive.

She’s not just playing through the licks, she’s getting the phrasing spot on which is next to impossible on something this acrobatic and all over the place and where the original player (Eric) has such a unique voice. It’d take me years to get to a level of performance on this track even remotely that close to the original.

    Nili is a very determined guitar player. I can tell that when she decided to learn this she was unstoppable. Waking up at 3am and picking up the guitar because she couldn't get it out of her head I'm sure is not uncommon for this woman. Most of us dream about playing like this and some like Nili are talented and motivated enough to work as hard as it takes to make it happen. Good job Nili. I'm very proud of you!

    I have taught this lead to several students and I know how hard it is. There are certain places (in both the melody and the solo) where Eric plays what sound like impossible transitions, but they really amount to smooth, masterful sweep picking, something most guitarists never really learn. You nailed ALL of those places eloquently and even improved on a couple of them. My hat's off to you darlin' -- you absolutely nailed it. Please accept my most sincere congratulations on a fabulous rendering. Well done!
