Скачать или смотреть The Solo That Made Guitarists Quit Practicing 😅 🎸

Eric Johnson’s “Cliffs of Dover” (1990, from the album Ah Via Musicom) is one of his most famous tracks — but unlike many classic guitar anthems, it’s instrumental. That means there aren’t lyrics to give it a direct “story,” so the meaning comes from its mood, feel, and inspiration.

The main riff is instantly catchy, almost like a vocal melody.

His playing is extremely technical, but the song never feels like “look how fast I am.” It feels like he’s singing through the guitar.

Because it’s instrumental, listeners project their own stories and emotions into it — which is why so many say it feels nostalgic, hopeful, or liberating.

Won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance in 1992.

Became a staple for guitarists worldwide — often considered one of the greatest guitar instrumentals ever.

Even non-musicians recognize it; it’s one of those tracks that just feels good.
