I was wonderin' if you guys listen to him. He's probably one of the best guitarists I have ever seen. IMO

He's the guy they say sold his soul to the devil in exchange for awesome guitar skills, right? I listened quite a bit to him last summer, but completely forgot about him...I'm gonna check him out again though, thanks for the reminder ;)

I think you're thinking of Robert Johnson. He sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads. He's a blues guitarist.
Eric Johnson is famous for his guitar solos. Kinda of like Joe Satriani. Eric Johnson is touring this summer, but I don't know with who. Might be Jeff BEck.

Didn't Satriani, Beck and Johnson do a tour or still tour together?

Both of those DVD's are sweet. I love Trail of Tears from Austin City Limits. I also think East Wes is amazing.
