Listening to Eric Johnson
Eric Johnson is one of the most coveted guitar player of all time. His technique to play guitar the easy and the simple way is hard to emulate. Recently I got his one DVD ( actually is old one but I hadn't listened to it previously) . It's title is "Eric Johnson : Live In Austin TX". It's a wonderful marvelous collection of songs that makes you realize how smooth the chords and rhythm flows while playing the songs. Altogether there are 13 tracks. The ones that I liked are Steve's Boggie, Trail of Tears, Western Flyers, Emrald Eyes, Desert rose and Are you Experienced. Other tracks in the album are Righteous, Love or Confusion, C.W., Camel's night out, Cliffs of Dover and Zap.

About Euro 2008
Euro 2008 is already on its peak. Many fans and supporters around the world are in full of surprises about some of the result of the matches that have commenced. Croatians beat the Germans in Group B encounter. Luka Modric was the fulcrum of the Croatian attack. Likewise Netherlands beat the world champion Italy and runners-up France easily. Also add to the fact that Romania managed to grab two crucial points by playing a tie with both WC winners and runners-up.
Players will definitely earn a name for themselves in this tournament. David Villa is most likely candidate to win the highest scorer award as he has already scored 4 goals along with a hattrick against Russia. Lucas Podolski is another candidate to win the same award as he has managed to score 3 goals.
