  2. It's so nice to hear Eric playing so comfortably in various styles on different brands and types of guitars. I'm sorry I missed him with Steve Vai a couple of weeks ago since they played just up the road a piece. I could have kicked myself.

  3. Great guitars! Of course, Eric could make a shoestring tied between two fence posts sound good...
