MarkJarvis Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Anyone know how to get that classic Eric Johnson sound with helix? I am not exactly sure where to start except use my Strat .... Recent live over the internet session using Variax and Helix.. https://hearthis.at/joejeffries/supermassivemomentum-live-5-26-2017/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclement Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 You could start by recreating his rig in the Helix... but that's only going to go so far. Here is a deep dive on his tones: https://www.guitarchalk.com/eric-johnson-lead-tone/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicLaw Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Line 6 artist specific Tone Templates can also be a helpful resource.

spikey Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Having his fingers wouldn't hurt. ;) That said, study is rig layout via the net and try to copy it as best you can with Helix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJarvis Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 'Having his fingers wouldn't hurt' Yeah...but not really trying to play exactly like him just like that lead tone and want to get something close. Thanks for all the responses ! MJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
