------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHEN THE SUN MEETS THE SKY – Eric Johnson ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: David Email: xavier33@hotmail.co.uk This is Eric Johnson’s best song IMO, and his most soulful, melodic and fluid soloing. And it’s got one of the best guitar tones I’ve ever heard on an album. That, plus there isn’t one string bend creates an ethereal sound. So far, I’ve just tabbed the solos, so if anyone wants to let me have the chords, it would speed up the process of doing the whole song. What’s here is very accurate.
