Typically in this series I have been trying to focus on epic guitar within great songs rather than just virtuoso guitar playing. However, I need to to make an exception for Eric Johnson's Cliffs of Dover. It is one of my favourite instrumental guitar pieces of all time.
What I like most about Eric Johnson is he doesn't hide behind heavy distortion.
Here is a live version of the song. Enjoy!
