@@jsamc Well, at least you think you're well qualified... Funny you mention finger picking bluegrass because I play it...and it is phenomenal, but it's an art form, not a sport or in a competition with blues/rock/jazz/r'n'b/soul/funk/fusion etc. You think Jeff Beck - Eric Gales - Dave Gilmour - are overrated? Blues based rock guitarists like them cut their teeth listening to and copying bluegrass and delta blues. (And Hendrix) And I can tell you first hand that very few bluegrass players can do what they do - and vice versa - and the same applies to classical players. Great musicians are great because of "feel" and innovation - not just technical speed and complexity.
Absolutely amazing talent on that stage! I’ve seen Gary Clarke Jr play this live. Eric Gales is a powerhouse and has never gotten the respect that he deserves as one of the greatest guitarists of our lifetime.
Because this world is into physical beauty ! If Eric looked androgynous he'd be a Super Star ! Eric is blood sweat grit funk and dirty fingernails ... he ain't pretty but he's beautiful ! He Real !
I would suggest to everyone, especially if you like blues-rock or Jimi Hendrix +, to listen to his body of work. He doesn’t have a bad, okay or so so album. They are all meaty and full. One can’t say that about many artists. Often their development has a trajectory of maturity in voice or mastery of their instrument. No, Eric seems to have blasted out of the gate and never throttled back. Pick a track off any album over the years and you will not be disappointed.
@UCvduiP52YDkk7t0yI9E9SCw And yet Justin Bieber went platinum. Eric Gales Picture of A Thousand Faces is a monster album and I'll put Eric up against anyone, anytime. And remember, fuck Joke Bidet and fuck you for voting for it.
Those are the kind of shows I live for. A musician or band with killer talent on tour at small clubs, and they play their hearts out because that's what they do. It's all about the music, not the glitter and attention. Thanks for reminding me of shows like yours.
Agreed, that lame corny garbage he droppee with Joe "Wonder Bread" Bonnamassa the other week as me not looking forward to that album at all. Straight elevator music.
You know how absolutely insane and absorbed when you automatically start weaving and bobbing and shaking back and forth uncontrollablly with Eric as he's soloing!!!!!! Totally outrageous 🤩
We Love The Greater Gales Family in The Delta. Arkansas Mississippi. Love ya E. Always been a gentleman. Thanks for letting me borrow Tennessee for a bit!! Love me some Tennessee! Amen. THJ
There are quite a few elite guitar players these days, very few are as interesting and intuitive as Eric Gales, he is just a phenomenal conduit for rock and blues.
Eric was a great Choice by Gary, knowing Eric's entire family are nothing but prodigy's. His brother Manuel was the guy who taught me to just put the guitar down and finish school cause I would never be nearly as great as he was.....lol He didnt have to say it, he just played fills so well it defied all logic. I swear this family had such a gift and an ear for anything one could assume their almost not human. So good to see Eric back at it and feeling well and playing with perfection it warms my soul.
Likely to catch Chris Gales and/or other Gales kin playing somewhere on Beale Street any day of the week any week of the year. Some amazing talent in that family....
I've been fortunate enough to see Eric a few times at a local blues festival and I've been blown away every time. The first time, I couldn't believe I had never heard of him before. Definitely a shame he isn't a household name. Almost like blues' best kept secret. Amazing guy with an inspirational story and unmatched guitar skills. 🎸🔥
Holy sh*t 🔥 that was fire! Just saw GCJr in Atlantic City last weekend… Incredible. He has said Eric Gales is the best living player. I loved seeing them together. Gales is phenomenal. They both are. 🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶
I was at this show. I had hoped Gary would do This Land in his encore, but we were treated to this instead. It was amazing. No disappointment in not hearing This Land. One of the best shows I’ve ever been to.
You have to love Gary's disposition in this performance. You can tell the reverance is there for a true Master. And also knowledge to be able to discreetly with a chord redirect him as we all know he needs sometimes. Like, Mr. Eric you know the theater closes in 20 minutes...... 😏🎸
These two gentlemen are amongst the only true blues rock players right now, compare them to anyone out right now especially that are giging and doing their thing live, there's no one out there putting this kind of music back on the map for young people of today. Incredible musicians isn't even a good statement to describe them both...🤙🍺🍺
I might put Joe Bonamassa, Walter Trout, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, Jonny Lang and Tab Benoit in that same group and the two folks in the video would say the same.
@@RagggedTrouseredPhilanthropist Oh yeah! Didn't mean to leave him out. Definitely belongs in that group and I am sure there are a few mors that I am skipping over i.e.: Josh Smith ....
2 geniuses at the top of their game, Gary is the pure iceman, I would have loved to have been there to experience the true Audio meltdown they must have blessed the crowd with, Eric is the eternal mad axeman, always a pleasure.Thanks @80ryans from Co. Kerry.
Well hot damn that boy got da feels. I was reading comments while the song played, thinking okay he's probably pretty good by all the compliments he's getting. But I was still going wtf even though I had been warned. That dude is for real.
He's actually not. That's the crazy part. His brother taught him to play the guitar upside down because his brother was left handed and he's just always played that way.
That was awesome! Eric is the King! He really should have a much bigger stage than the smaller places he plays. But better for me to follow him. 💜to LaDonna
Yeah, the only good part about Eric not being recognized as one of the most prolific guitarists on earth is that we can catch him in a bar from time to time. The poor guys gone through so much. He should not have to worry about bills.
Do yourself a favor and go see Eric Gales live. People are all talking like this is the greatest guitar solo that's ever been done. EG plays like this EVERY NIGHT.
Not that Eric Gales has ever had an issue "playing out", but having seen many live videos, I get the impression he was feeling some fresh inspiration playing with GC's band. It doesn't hurt he is coming off some quality time with Joe Bonamassa in the studio, but they are contemporaries and I do not hear a lot of change in his playing as a result. It will be interesting to hear Eric's new album with what I expect to be stronger song construction and melody. I am hoping to hear a leap forward in where he jumps off for his solos. I really like his playing, but at times it feels like a show is a solo with almost unrelated songs interspersed. That is probably overly harsh, but it conveys my excitement to hear Eric was open with collaborating with Joe in the studio.
That was crazy awesome those guys are unbelievable such amazing guitarists and talented musicians!! Thanks for posting this video great quality and great sound!!
This is also a visual example of why you NEVER ever try and change a left handed person to be right handed. I think schools stopped this about 25 years ago but just in case you ever experience it please report them.
Yeah..not all lefty's suck on guitar..just listen to Kurt Cobain, Albert King,Jimi Hendrix,Paul McCartney,Doyle Bramhall jr.,Tony Iommi...etc.,the list goes on & on...
Eric Gales, the most underrated guitarist alive. Absolutely criminal how underrated he is.

What about Eric Clapton?
And he’s overrated.

Eric Gales is the right up there with Hendrix. Truly phenomenal player
Hendrix, really! You phenomenal lost your mind.😂😂 he's good but he ain't no Hendrix.
Eric is a flat out monster . He's conquered his demons and has a good woman in his life. The best is yet to come..
God blessed 🙏
Jimi and Stevie Ray are looking down on you brothers proud as can be!✌🎸
Absolutely amazing talent on that stage! I’ve seen Gary Clarke Jr play this live. Eric Gales is a powerhouse and has never gotten the respect that he deserves as one of the greatest guitarists of our lifetime.
I agree however just wait until his album ‘Crown’ comes out this month. Eric will get his justification from everyone!
Man….
This man is just unstoppable.
Beautiful soul , beautiful music 🎵.
Please Lord keep this man with us for many years …

I could watch the section where Gary gets hyped up 100 times a day and it would never lose its edge. Thanks so much for capturing this moment
I saw Eric play in small club in Ireland there was about 30 people in the place I was in awe he is a monster.
Those are the kind of shows I live for. A musician or band with killer talent on tour at small clubs, and they play their hearts out because that's what they do. It's all about the music, not the glitter and attention. Thanks for reminding me of shows like yours.
The people who are in that audience just got their soul filled!
Wow . Drummer is amazing!
Eric Gales is just INSANE! The soul in that man!
I thank this kind Universe for "Eric Gales"
I wish they could’ve played this for two years without stopping. I pray many blessings over the person that recorded this. You are loved
Eric deserves more respect than given...incredible.
Ohh... He gets plenty of respect. Bonanassa sais he is the best current blues player.

Absolutely pure unadulterated fire , blew me away

Lol. Gales the best living player?! Hilarious. Go watch the video where he plays w Joe Bonamassa. He embarrasses Gales.
@@Mike_Webb78 bonamassa himself called gales the best living player
I saw him last Sunday... absolutely fabulous and a nice guy who signed, took pics and talked with fans.
Put Eric Gales to any show and it will be his show!
Gary Clark Jr is a beast and Eric Gales. Wow
Holy crap what a jam
BEST GUITAR SOLE I EVERRRR HEARD IN MY LIFE, EVERYTIME YOU THINK HE RAN OUT OF TRICKS HE COMES SMASING DOWN WITH A BETTER ONE!
I was at this show. I had hoped Gary would do This Land in his encore, but we were treated to this instead. It was amazing. No disappointment in not hearing This Land. One of the best shows I’ve ever been to.
Eric Gales is nuts on that guitar!
I love you Gary but Eric just gave you an awesome lesson in blues guitar...and for free!
After what Eric has been through it sends chills up my spine and tears of joy he's the best guitarist living and humbled I say that ever lived!
He seriously plays like he got a second chance at life. I get chills everytime I hear him play.
Yep he's right up there with Jeff Beck and Alan Holdsworth for sure
A duo i never thought could happened but absolutely!
I love how Gary was just tell Gales to keep going. It looked like they were having fun.
You have to love Gary's disposition in this performance. You can tell the reverance is there for a true Master. And also knowledge to be able to discreetly with a chord redirect him as we all know he needs sometimes. Like, Mr. Eric you know the theater closes in 20 minutes...... 😏🎸
Thumbs up on just seeing these two top performers playin together creating music for the masses. And having so much fun. Another art form being lost.
Good Gawd call the fire department that stage is burning DOWN!!!!!!!!
That's real blues power! Brought tears to my eyes.

That Eric Gales solo is amazing..... first a mumble, then a cry, to a scream left nothing unsaid. And don't forget he's left handed!
He's actually not. That's the crazy part. His brother taught him to play the guitar upside down because his brother was left handed and he's just always played that way.
