Éric Johnson, né le 17 août 1954 à Austin (Texas), est un guitariste américain.
Johnson participe en 1997 à la tournée américaine de Joe Satriani avec lequel il retrouve Steve Vai. Ils forment alors le G3. Par la suite ce G3 sera formé de Petrucci.
Guitar Player magazine calls Johnson "One of the most respected guitar virtuosos on the planet".[1] Johnson composes and plays not just instrumental songs, but also sings and plays piano.
Widely recognized for his guitar skills, Johnson's stylistic diversity and technical proficiency have drawn praise from Carlos Santana, Allan Holdsworth, Larry Carlton, Steve Morse, Billy Gibbons, Johnny Winter, Jeff Baxter, Prince, B.B. King, Joe Satriani and the late Stevie Ray Vaughan. His critically-acclaimed, platinum selling 1990 recording Ah Via Musicom produced the single "Cliffs of Dover", for which Johnson won the 1991 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance [2].
