This guy is pure genius on guitar and is one of my favs. This is probably his single best live performance of this song ever:

I don't expect to get much response to this thread, but I had to share it with you. [Big Grin]

when i bought the "GUITAR´S Practicing Musicians Vol. II" cd.

Love this song!

I know what you mean Riptide. It took me about 2 months to learn this song and play it well. Well worth the time, it is my favorite instrumental song of all-time and I do play it almost everyday. [Wink]

I wasn't a total shred head, but a lot of my firends were, also the fact that I'm pretty much a lifetime subscriber to Guitar world made sure that some real technical tab got dumped in my lap. Am I the only one who thinks that Eric Johnson and Ellen Degeneres were seperated at birth or something? They look like brother and sister.

I heard this song is really difficult for even the greatest guitar players to learn. Kudos to anyone who can do it.

Brutally difficult like you can't even imagine. I've been playing it forever now and can't even come close to playing it like Johnson....not bad though.
