On the Path LLC is proud to announce that acclaimed guitarist, ERIC JOHNSON, is the latest world-renowned musician to teach a master class for their best-selling iPad app, On The Music Path.

Over the course of this 70-minute lesson shot in high-definition video by Academy award-winning cinematographer, Alan Kozlowski, Eric Johnson teaches students how to play his celebrated tune, 'Cliffs Of Dover', and breaks down the essential elements of his signature electric guitar style, including his use of hybrid rhythmic picking, tonal effects, arpeggios in solos and melodic choices. Students also get the chance to trade solos with Eric on number of his most well-loved tunes, including '40 Mile Town', 'Gem', and 'Last House on the Block'. Eric’s master class includes over 25 play along sessions with the man himself, accompanied by complete notation and guitar tablature, authorized by Eric and synchronized to Eric’s playing.

Eric's hit single, 'Cliffs Of Dover', is widely seen as one of the great guitar solos and has been featured as the ultimate winning challenge in the video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. In his master class for On the Music Path, Eric breaks down the entire song, section by section, playing each section both at tempo and at half-speed for the first time in his career. The entire song is accompanied by a split-screen video on Eric’s right and left hands and accompanied by a complete and authorized transcription in both notation and tab. As Eric Johnson puts it, "this is the most compelling and cutting edge method for learning how to play the guitar I’ve ever seen."
