How to Sound Like Eric Johnson in BIAS FX

A demo and tutorial on how to get your guitar (excluding player) sounding like Eric Johnson without a boutique pedalboard, vintage tube amp, or even a nice guitar.  Even if you don't use BIAS FX, you might be able to find some helpful tips and tricks anyway if you're ever chasing after that Cliffs of Dover sound.

DIY Jack Daniels Barnwood Telecaster Build

After years of disregarding the Telecaster as the troglodytic brother of the sleek and superior Strat, it finally hit me why the Telecaster has remained popular for over 50 years.  Trimming down the glitz of a tremolo and a middle pickup (which I always ignored anyway) leaves you with a utilitarian tool that gets you back to the fundamentals of playing with less maintenance and distracting thing-a-majigs.

Inspired by this minimalist vision and this bourbon-infused aesthetic from "Big D Guitars", I decided to build my own Jack Daniels Tele... on an extreme shoestring budget, as usual!  Looks pretty good for about $40 and some barnwood, doesn't it?
