I discovered Eric Johnson, Steve Vai and Joe Satriani from G3: Live in Concert, but this song wasnt included in the concert, and his inventory of music is tough to find in comparison to the other two, so I was glad a really fucking good song of his came out of Guitar Hero.
If you can afford it, adding a Dunlop Echoplex Preamp will get you even closer to Johnson’s violin-like warmth and sustain. TONE TIP: Start with the Marshall’s Tilt control at '5' to simulate using both Marshall channels at once, and dial to the left if you desire more warmth.
