----------------------------
Eric Gales -
Eric Gales is a force to be reckoned with in the contemporary Rock-Blues scene. mesmerizing fans around the world with his outstanding vocal ability and his amazing, incomparable guitar virtuosity.
Gales was considered a child prodigy He started playing guitar at the age of 4 and was taught how to play by his older brothers, Eugene and Manuel (pka Little Jimmy King).
He released his first record, “The Eric Gales Band” (Electra), in 1991 at the age of 16.
That same year, Guitar World Magazine’s Reader’s Poll voted Eric as” “Best New Talent.”
In 1993, Eric released his second CDs, “Picture Of A Thousand Faces” (Electra), as well as his self titled third album, “Eric Gales” (Asylum).
In 1996 Eric and two of his brothers teamed up to form The Gales Brothers and recorded “Left Hand Brand,” which was recorded for the House of Blues label.
Through the years, Gales garnered dedicated fans world-wide, including A-List Blues and Rock artist celebrities like Carlos Santana, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, B. B. King, and Eric Clapton.
In 2001 Eric signed on with the Hendrix family affiliated label, Nightbird Records, and recorded the critically acclaimed CD, “That’s What I Am.”
In 2006 Eric recorded another critically acclaimed CD, “Crystal Vision” and his incredible follow-up, “The Psychedelic Underground” for the Blues Bureau Label.
In 2008 released "The Story of my Life”, in 2010 he released "Relentless”, followed in 2011 with his release "Transformation”, in 2012 he released his Double “Live” Album/DVD.
In 2013 he released his 12th album, “Pinnick Gales Pridgen” (Magna Carta).
Also in 2013 he released “Ghost Notes” (Tone Center)
In 2014 he released “Good for Sumthin’” (Cleopatra)
His latest release (#15), “A Night on the Sunset Strip” is due out in 2016.
Eric has often been compared to Jimi Hendrix, and even plays guitar left-handed, like Hendrix, with a right-handed guitar turned upside down, but remarkably, he is right-handed, taught to play guitar left-haned by his left handed brother!
Comparisons to Hendrix notwithstanding, he is no Hendrix clone! Gales has developed his own distinctive blues/rock sound and a unique playing style that embodies and exemplifies his various influences, as diverse as Albert King and Eric Johnson.

he's like a black jimi hendrix
Chinchilliツ wait a minute
😂😆🤣
lol comment of the year.
I was here at 59 likes
@@gergelygysz2935 thank you
Hes really playing that strat upside down where his high strings are on top... incredible.
It really defies all logic. Unreal!
Insane man
just like hendricks
@@redacted1402 no... hendrix switched the strings around so the low e is on top like it is traditionally. This is a whole another dimension of guitar playing!
@@doknox Hendrix also learned to play a right handed guitar with the strings flipped, so, not just wrong hand, but also flipped strings… hiding his left-handed playing from his dad. This is on par… hot damn
Love how the whole session seems so jammy. The eye contact everyone has with each other while blasting the instrument. True musicians.
Great comment. Unlike all these weak “black Jimi Hendrix” posts.
not an "APP"
I love that he doesn't try to sound exactly like Jimi, but makes it his own. Great guitar playing. Very nice. With some funky parts.
Can we take a second out of sheer respect of that straight MONSTER he has behind the drum set?!?!?!?!
Absolute Staight MONSTER
Who is that man?
NICK HAYES
Absolutely, great drumming in this gig!
Here's something you can smoke on 🍆💦💦😲
I've never met Jimi Hendrix, but I firmly believe that he would have loved this
Jimi lives on man, the music inspires us all, we guitar players. RIP Jimi and SRV
Excuse me but Jimi never died obviously if he's playing live today.
@@jeffreypeterson3238 Eric is good,he's not great. Hella energy in them fingers tho
Carl Smith no, that’s just what’s popular
@@stingylizard did you just say Eric Gales is good but not great? GTFOH.
The funky part of voodoo child is wild
Its disgusting how good yall are. The Talent on display right here is criminal. Effortless. The audience has no idea. Its sad. Id have been hooting and hollering for yall. This was astounding.
my mans out here on that bass lookin like he's just so excited to be included in this
Except for those few moments he looked terrified.
He’s actually a fucking ridiculous bassist, that’s just his face lmao
lookin like..."da fucks goin on??!!
He can't decide if he should just stop playing and watch Eric or focus on his parts and keep playing... Good job though, holds his ground.
The thumbnail makes him look like a crackhead who got handed a guitar and became a Legend
Bassist showed up at the cookout and they kept him 🤟
Ben Z no you did not 😂😂😂
😂😂😂🥵💦💀💀💀
White people jokes are so funny
@Keith Sizemore uh what?
@Keith Sizemore if only this was a troll comment... Alas I've seen it under other comments. You're making conservatives look like morons please stop we don't need your help to look like idiots we do that just fine as it is. Thanks.
Man, I hadn't heard 'Back in Black' in a REALLY long time. Can't deny it, that riff still kicks ass.
And so does Eric and his band.
I've heard it played badly in so many guitar shops I died a little inside but the last 2 minutes of this video washed all that away and my jaw hit the ass end of the galaxy
This guy is the best guitarist i have ever seen and ive been playing for 23 years.
This is what Lil Wayne hears in his head when he plays..
Artemus80 J. GOLD😂
TBH
😂😂😂
What comes out can be described in a single emoji 💩
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nothing like watching a true virtuoso genuinely enjoy performing their craft.
This dude is playing with his guitar strings inverted. His low E is on the bottom and his high E on top. Thats insane!
What do you think about homosexual marriage?
Cancer Boy ohhhhhh foxy man
The great Albert King played the same way - though Albert wasn’t this good
He’s just playing a right handed guitar left handed.
It's called cotton picking, named after Elizabeth Cotton who was left handed and taught herself to play guitar from a very young age, she just flipped the guitar without changing any strings and learned that way. At one point her older brother told her she way playing wrong and adjusted the strings for standard left-handed playing, but she couldn't play anything, so she flipped them back.
Not only is the guitar upside down, but so are the strings. Damn, dude. That is next level.
Hendrix had the low E string on top though. This dude has the high E string on top. This guy’s strings are upside down. I’ve never seen that before 😅
Donalex Corfgutip What about Dick Dale? He played like that his whole life
I noticed it too and I think it is very impressive
@@lettucekisses no Jimi did not play like that. He flipped his guitar lefty but restrung it correctly.
Any guitarist will notice by his finger positioning. Nothing looks right lol. But he's nailing everything.
hes just taken a normal right handed guitar and is playing it turned around on his left
I have seen Eric many times over the years, He is definitely underrated. He's out there doing what he love's. GREAT rendition of of one of my favorite song.Adds his own funk sound to it.
Let's give that drummer some credit too. His timing was on point and kept up with everything that was thrown at him. Job well done all around
ao el fuk yes definately
The bassist face at one point. Lol.
ao el definitely a her
Drummers* theres two up there
The other one mainly follows the drummer thought and pretty much exclusively hits the tambourine
This guy is criminally underrated, up there with current guitarists as one of the best right now
He's got soul and sounds great but he's not even close to some of these guitar monsters playing right now.
This cat plays the dogsh-t out of that guitar...awesome!!!
@@jasonvoorhees1316 Who's comparing other than you? Agreed, some killer Players out there, but E does HIS thang - like it or not. I think he enjoys playing because it feels good....not for the competition....i m o.
Agreed. He plays with such ferocious passion. Probably doesn't get the recognition because he doesn't play djent and sweep all song. Which is what a lot of guitar people listen too. Let's face it, people that know nothing about music listen to Jimmy/ zeppelin. Different audience. But this guy is amazing and is one of the top players right now, IMO.
@@jasonvoorhees1316 Joe Bonamassa himself has stated that Eric Gales is quite possibly the greatest guitar alive. Santana took him on tour as a prodigy in late 80s. Just saying...
I feel like if Jimi was still alive, this is what he would be like. This dude is a LEGEND. Keep it up, Eric Gales
Eric has been behind that guitar for a long time and you can hear the years.👍🎸
Damn. Been playing 3 decades, not much makes me say “what did I just watch” but ... what did I just watch? And why did it take me so long to find out about this guy? Ferocious and joyous all at once!
"what did I just watch?"
A good guitar player playing some covers.
mymentor “what did I just read?”
Do you play guitar and made money with your original song entitled: “When Trolls Eat Shit”? No! So STFU!
@@bawalangkupal6445 You read my comment, which is a fairly sober assessment of the video, then got triggered and had a bit of a temper tantrum.
mymentor lol glad you ignored that bum bro
Eric Gales is one of the best guitarists you'll ever hear. This guy oozes talent and soul. Enjoy it
Upside down guitar, white guy on the bass using a pick, cellphone belt case, extremely loose drum heads I mean there is so much wrong with this performance that it broke the laws of physics and sounds unbelievable.
*white guy on the bass* lol
Didn't Jimi play with the guitar upside down?
@@Demention94 Not really, Jimi always restrung his guitars, so the strings were in correct order. Albert King and Gales on the other hand play upside down guitar literally.
pick on bass is illegal, but hey it sounds absolutely great
Don’t forget that hat
I SWEAR, music alone could end the divide and hate going on in this country!!! This is such a beautiful concert!!!!
It does.
Tell D B - then he'd have Something worthy of having his own empty page.
Would also help if third rate actors weren't fabricating hate crimes.
You're absolutely right!
Brother, you're right about that. It heals. I really does.
I fail to see how.
There’s so many talented people that we don’t really get to enjoy, especially if you are a music lover. I love rock music but I like this jam also! Soul touching music.
Got to see him play a club in Denver in 93. He couldn't stay inside on breaks or after the show, as he was not 21 yet. We hung out with him in the parking lot, and he was the most humble and gracious guy. I'll never forget it.
He did all this... with a cell phone on his belt.....
Let that sink in ladies and gentleman.
ur point ?
its a jam session. an how would a cell phone on ur belt make a difference ?
Dont get your point mate he also has socks and shorts on what the fuck A 😎
I was wondering what that little fanny pack was
Shut up boomer
every musician can relate to that stank face you make when you're just straight up feelin the music
It’s very similar to taking the perfect dump
For sure, when you’re live it’s honestly just the best feeling. I miss playing live so much.
Dude my face just goes into brainless zombie mode. Ain't got no brainpower left to mold it into a normal look 😂
Or the half asleep riff that wakes everyone up. Even yourself.
Like when you walk into the garage and see a full rat trap
I swear to god that intro of voodoo child gave me goosebumps what an insanely talented guy
Oh what a sweet groove! I could listen to this all day! Guitar genius right there!
This is someone who puts his heart and soul into playing
That he does.
He poured his heart out and they gave him a golf clap..
Crowd was a bit of a wet blanket but I get the impression that this man plays with this same passion and feel whether he's in front of 10000 people, or just jamming in the garage alone. A mark of a true musician... It's obvious that he completely FEELS the music and let's it flow through him like a conduit.
I could watch guys like this all day... Even if they're not really all that remarkably talented, but just seeing someone feel the tones and notes as they come, and just totally loosen up and let go and let the music take over
Joe Chandler Actually kind of you to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Yeah man fuckin stupid !
"golf clap" lol :P
I think that it was just a smaller crowd than you would expect in front of such a great performance. The few people I heard sounded very enthusiastic. It just wasn't the stadium sized crowd that could have appreciated such a great show.
Jimi is smiling down!!! Ear to ear! This is Spectacular!
Didn't know he was a Brian Johnson fan. I prefer Bon.
Pappa Michael Jimmy’s alive dude. Your watching him.
*up
You're lookin at a living legend, ya'll. If you have not had a chance to see this cat play, you are missing out. Saw him play this past Spring in an unadvertized show in club that only had about 100 people in it, including staff. It was a last minute thing. No promotion. No advertisement. Nothing. It was the middle of the week. It was fantastic. Those who were there, stayed for the entire show and loved every minute of it. They made it a point to show their appreciation quite loudly.
Afterwards, Gales did a meet and greet. You could tell he was exhausted. He was on tour with Joe Bonamassa at came from Texas to play the show. That's not a short haul. Anyway, he made every person who waited in line to meet him believe they got their money's worth and then some. No one was rushed. He took as many pictures as they wanted. It was very chill. It also happened to be my birthday that night. So, he gave me a copy of his album as a present and signed it, "Happy Birthday to my friend , Eric Gales" and he dated it.
I think he was more exited that I chose to come see his show on my birthday than I was to actually meet him on my birthday! lol!! Eric Gales also has one of the greatest comeback stories in all of Blues and Rock and Roll. Check it out. Its a good one.
Il like how Eric makes everything he plays into his own style.
Damn each member of the band is like a prodigy on their instrument
Crowd was dead. Wow, guy is playing his heart out and hardly any noise from crowd.
Welcome to 2020
@submalevolent grace probably or what Jim Morison said would happen is happening and people just respond to no soul fake music.
All machine no talent
They're all on their phones
It was hot out.
Does it really matter
Eric deserves way more attention than he gets.
Got his 1st album when it came out many,many moons ago!!
AND that drummer is F’ing KILLING IT!
The hot chick on his left ain’t no slouch either!!
I'm totally pumped to see him this Sunday in Stuart FL. ... at the Lyric Theater!
@@TimsCabana
Awesome Tim I hope he tears the roof off for you guys!
Eric feels every note that leaves his fingers man,just pure fire & brimstone🔥
I kept waiting for the drum kit to break. Holy shit that drummer hits so goddamn hard!! One of the best drummers I’ve ever heard. So glad he’s playing drums for Eric, the best blues guitarist on the planet. Near the end, he hit the symbol so hard it almost cracked in half. That dude is straight up beast. Wow. What a band, what a performance…Eric is a virtuoso.
EVEN STRINGS ARE UPSIDE DOWN
I noticed that too! That is pretty crazy! Learning it all upside down and a lefty!
Crazy huh? I played in some jam sessions with a lefty bass player who played that way, and later found out Scott Reeder of Kyuss plays that way.
Doyle Bramhal II plays like that, lefty upside down. Weird.
When left handers are taught to play right handed (Hendrix's dad tried to get him to play righty) sometimes they overcompensate. Not that it's easy, but some learn to play "upside-down"
@@squirlmy I'm a lefty, but play guitar right handed. To me, I don't get why it's called "right handed" - the fretting hand is the complicated stuff requiring more dexterity, seems more natural for a lefty to play a righty guitar strung normally.
I’ve watched this performance soo many times and the fact that he plays a right handed guitar as a lefty with the strings in tact (no swapping them around) is just insane.
hes not left handed. he just plays like that
Albert King style playing🤘
So did Albert King. JS
That's what Hendrix did.... AS a guitarist, every lefty I have met that could play, Could play my guitar (righty), but righties cannot play a lefty strung giutar. LOL
@@bluesworld99 jimmy hendrix swapped the strings so that the low E was in place of where the high E normaly is. so he could play the guitar like a normal left handed guitar... but this guy just picked up a right handed guitar and played it upside down. wich is pretty cool. But yeah, i know a lefty who plays guitar and he can play my right handed guitar without problem
dude is a freaking beast. applies to every musician on that stage, holy shit.
Eric is phenomenal. He's the future of Blues
Um he’s been in the industry for like 30 years now 💀
@@jwaj no shit. And?
He went from Hendrix to Stevie back to Hendrix. Awesome tone, awesome playing, just damn perfect!!!
Stevie was 50 % Jimi
50% Albert King
@@Datanditto stevie definitely has his own sound as well
@@coonjamalay yeah never seen anyone bust out sum classical mid set yet make everything flow so well
People talking about the band’s diversity when this was commonplace in the 70s and 80s.
Lord Mamba right! Look at War lol
Yes it was! Good times back then! This dude can outright fucking jam!
1967 Love
The band War was an example of diversity..
Booker T and the MG's were half and half and when the toured England they blew minds, if the music is good NO ONE CARES!!!
Dude is like a magician
Jeeeez - I'd forgotten what great guitar tone was! Real amp, Real guitar, Real player! :D
DAMN that drummer is good
+Into the Wild what are you smoking they're all great
@@intothewild2345 you're fucking high man
Naw. Boring. Nothing exceptional... Not bad but not unique or great.
@Erik Erik heard of em. Can't name one of their songs. ;)
@Erik Erik are they a good band?
People are giving well deserved props to the drummer, and obviously the guitar guy, but what about that cable dude? I mean, come ON.
Larry
hahaha
The Green Dead One? 🤣🤣🤣
without cables these guys are real quiet (except the drummer).
Guitar players can look so silly but it’s so cool. What a performance
in what way does he look silly?
@@flipf615 bros hunched over sm lmao its a bad habit
@@notb0redom_ sure posture wise it's not the best way to stand but in no way does it look silly
@@flipf615 it looks pretty funny not gonna lie
silly? wha? that is all to comment from this vid? ooooook
Watched Eric Gales band a few years back at a blues festival. I had never heard of this band. Best live performance I've seen since watching the great Buddy Guy act in the 90s. They played this same medley to close the show and blew everyone away. Standing Ovation, not a single person in their seat. They even had a meet and greet afterwards. Very humble and appreciative to the fans. They just informally mingled and chatted with everyone that approached them. I became a fan!
This is the guy the Hendrix estate picked to "represent " Jimi on the anniversary tour. Now you know why!!!
Randy hansen
This bro is bad-ass!!!
Different class
Yeah goddamn shame
No doubt!
Never even heard of this guy til today.. what have I been missing?
a lot ...keep listening, your mind and soul will forever thank you.
He’s like the gnarliest dude ever lol. He’s playing an upside down guitar without changing the strings. If that’s not some self taught savant shit idk what is
Other music he plays?
@D T Christone Ingram ...aka...Kingfish...already on my music playlist...guy is awesome.
@@chrisb7051 jest leworęczny
This makes me want to re-learn to play guitar upside down. Phenomenal performance too. Insane passion and expressiveness.
God - the way they all make these tunes swing... freaking awesome
I was pretty impressed then I realized he’s playing that guitar upside down...now I’m in love
@smallcock one Haha this guys literally plays upside down, his strings are upside down. Low string on the bottom, high string on the top. Jimi flipped his string to their normal way
We humans like to call it being left-handed
@smallcock one Hendrix took a right handed guitar and switched the order of the strings (and probably had a new nut and switched saddles, maybe) to a typical left handed configuration.
If you handed Hendrix a typical right handed guitar he would not be able to play the same as he usually does (if at all). If you handed Eric Gales the same guitar he would be ready to go
what's amazong about Eric Gales is that he is actually right -handed , writes right handed and plays drums right handed, but somehow he learned to play the guitar left handed but upsidedown and backwards. Strange combination
@@minterwanny Hendrix flipped the nut around…
I swear that drummer has 4 feet. Probably had it rough growing up. I’m sure everyone made fun of “Ole 4 Feet”...but look at him now. He’s beating the brakes off that bass drum like it stole his lunch money for the last time.
Looooooooooll
I lol’d
🤣
The drummer is something else, the fill at 3.00 hits so hard
What a hell of a show! This guy shreds with the best of them.
My favorite out of any musician is if there's a wide variety in each of their songs, he smacked these songs out of the park with incredible playing. WOW
I didn't know Herb Dean had a child with Hendrix. Awesome!
LMAOOOOOOOOO!
More like Deontay wilder and Hendrix 😂
😂
One of Hendrix’s 500+ kids out there...
Old Jim, fair enough.
@@jonl5384 good try though, jon...
@Old Jim he's probably a reincarnation of jimi
@Old Jim sometimes genes skip a generation, could be a grandchild.
Reincarnation of Jimi Hendrix who's insanely accurate and fast !
Absolutely bonkers fantastic. What a band, and as for Eric off the scale. ..utterly amazing
That was awesome ! You can feel the feeling the band was feeling and they were like this is great and it's on video forever. Amazing !
All the more genius when you realise it's a right handed guitar and he's playing it upside down... friggin amazing
steve purdie just like Jimi
Room 237 not quite. Jimi played a right handed guitar 're strung for a lefty. EG plays a right handed guitar upside down.
steve purdie I’m not a guitarist so pardon my ignorance. But does that mean he is playing a right handed guitar upside and the strings go top to bottom with the thickest string on bottom instead of the thickest string on the top. And Jimi played the guitar upside down but stringed in the normal way?
Room 237 spot on pal.
Room 237 there a really good interview with Eric on Andertons tv on youtube
This is damn impressive. Brother got soul, and lots of it.
I'm sat watching this with the biggest grin, ear to ear, plastered across my face!
Priceless! ❤
8:15 Eric Gales rocked so hard, even his drummer dropped one of her sticks!
malphite gaming
Gas monkey good entertainment
Good thing there’s two of them lol
Wish the bass was turned up lowder. Certainly looked like he was playing some serious chops.
ANIM that’s cody wright for u bro
Yeah but with a pick??? Smh you got to have the funk man you can't have funk and play with a pick
sick of it all well, you can play with the pick for a minute, but then...THROW IT AWAY, get ready for some string slammin' and punching and screaming and going crazy
Would've been even better if the bass was louder too :)
sick of it all .... watch Cody play some pick grooves solo on Bass The World’s channel. He has some serious chops. And if you still don’t think you can be groovy with a pick, idk what to tell ya
This is nuts. When he is shredding the pentatonic he sounds exactly like jimi did. And ive listened to more jimi than any other band... This guys an absolute beast!
Eric has always been a standout, one of the best
🗣Lawd.... I have Eric's Music, LP's, Cassettes but haven't played in years. SOOOO HAPPY that I came across this!!!
4:05
Bassist is me trying to look cool in front of my crush
For that you need to lift the bass higher.
That's the guitarist's job not yours.
Hendrixonian tone and Luther Allison aggressiveness.
The drummer is spectacular and explosive like a time bomb with a short fuse!
5 star live performance.
Lou !

og34
Have a photo of Luther on my fireplace mantle, not even kidding. Took it at Music Midtown in Atlanta back in 1996, on one of those little cardboard disposable cameras, was so blown away by his playing that I kept that snapshot all these years. He's wailing on a royal blue Gibson 335, eyes closed, head back, ripping. He passed away a little over a year later. I was so lucky to get to see what turned out to be one of his last shows.
"Hendrixonian"
Lmao
Mr Gales might be one of the best musical talents of this generation. This is some of the most creative guitar playing that's ever been done and he has the pipes to boot. Amazing
What an awesome, infectious take on this classic track!!!
Damn it's been a looooong time since I've watched somebody sincerely enjoy playing the guitar on stage. He's a damn good entertainer.
Eric Gales is terrifically underrated
This guy is one of the greatest, underrated guitar player, seen him and his bros in the early 90's in CLE. It was an amazing show. I could listen to him forever, and tried too, lol.
Holy crap, hats off to Eric, not only is he an amazing musician but he's got soul, just watch him play, OMG...✊🤘
Eric Gales is the only guitarist I know where you can go back in time in his catalog and he seems to get better and better and then you go forward and he gets better and better again.
For me Jeff Beck is that way too. He was top notch to start and then he completely reinvented himself in an astonishing way.
So he's talented?
Ain’t that the truth?!
Whiskey Hangover LOL ... He's the M. C. Escher of guitarists. 😁
Jason Garst Yeah ... I first became familiar with him from Blow by Blow. Then I heard him on The Jeff Beck Group. It was so different, yet I was equally blown away. Ridiculously underrated guitarist, composer and arranger.
Speaking as a blues guitarist with more than forty years' experience, this man kicks my butt every time I hear his beautiful playing.
One of the best guitarists out there-hope to see him live soon-EPIC!
I like the funky twist on voodoo child
Just the first few notes and I know I'm listening to one of the masters of the guitar. To me, this guy is pure talent.
Its impossible for me to agree more with you
True, but I must say... Talent is overrated. This skill comes from lots of practice and dedication, not to mention the amount of patience.
@@mikeychido6937 whole heartedly agree.
These guys are Killin it!
Another great music of Voodoo Child, 🎵🎵🎸🎸🥁🥁😎😎🆒🆒
This fusion of blues and rock flying high very high
Mauricio Atriz and a smidge of funk
notice, he is a lefty, but his guitar is not strung upside down. the big e string is on the bottom!! he took a right hand guitar, flipped it over and played it .
It's actually a really funny story. He's actually a righty, but at a young age he learned how to play guitar from his brother who played it like that. He never questioned it, so by the time he was told it was the wrong way 'round it was far too late. Now he plays it just like Hendrix did as he's playing his song.
Mike, TheAnimated Hendrix had his string correctly though. This is literally and upside down guitar. Freaking way harder then what hendrix did.
.....and played the crap outta it!!
Doyle Brahmhall II plays the same way....i still can't believe how he does it !
I read that Hendrix could play it the exact same way as well as keeping it strung as a right handed guitar. BB King talked about it once I think.
This guy is friggen AWESOME! Best 10 minutes of my youtube life so far!
Huge talent and perfect touch on display in three instruments
I got to get my radar fixed how in the hell did I miss this guy
Eric and Kingfish should collab.
They have man.
They have, it is fantastic- look it up!
Also see this : just
the bass player (Cody Wright) with Eric at NAMM:

Incredible funk mixed in! Lovin' it!!
I love your performances. Your a one of a kind. No one like you. No one else will ever be.
One of the most creative, communicative & crazycool rock guitarists ever.
He's pretty good, but check out Guthrie Govan. Best to ever live.
@@cmhardin37 Yes! Govan is Incredible, but Eric has got the Groove!
Eric Gales is an amazing guitarist! I twice had the wonderful pleasure of jamming with him in Minneapolis, MN, at a club called Famous Dave's - in the Uptown area of town. He was amazingly fluid and creative. I was amazed to keep up with him - in my own way ot course - and he even complimented my playing on both occasions. He's had his personal struggles/demons to overcome, but none of that has ever taken away from his great God-given gift. Wherever he may be in the world as I write, I wish for him nothing but the absolute best! Carry on Mr. Gale!
@Jay Sr and yet here we are, watching Eric Gales on youtube and not you.
@Jay Sr what in the actual fuck are you talking about? Not picking a talented musicians ability to play when it seems you struggle piecing together coherent thoughts
Jay Sr bro lol you’re a god level troll good one ☝️
You you were hanging with THAT guy's playing? "i was amazed to keep up with him" ...uhhhh...no.
But he's really nice and humble. A truly scary talent...probably one of the greatest living rock guitarists. My guess is the only reason Eric Clapton hasnt asked him to tour with him is that he could actually make Clapton look like an idiot.
@Jay Sr You are a dumb ass!
i love how effortless he makes it look.
I saw him live earlier this year at a small theatre in Rosemont IL. He dang near blew the roof off that place. Was nice enough to do a meet and greet after the show. A nice humble dude. GO SEE HIM LIVE!
Unbelievable. Hendrix played his right-handed guitar left-handed, so upside down. However, HE re-stringed it so that it was strung LIKE a left-handed instrument. Eric is playing the thing strung normally, so they are all reversed. In impressive feat, Sir!
Alan Koz Jimi played with the strings both ways.
Thanks for the info. I'll keep a lookout! I have only seen him play with the heavy strings on top. I've tried upside down playing a few times, and those chords are a bitch that way.
Doyle Bramhall II plays the same way 👍 left handed but strung like right handed 👌
Fun Fact: Eric Gales is also right handed
DirtySouthTV do you have source? Wiki didn’t mention this. From all of my search you are the first person I heard saying Joni played up-side-down like Eric. There’s a list of gtr players that do that Jimi isn’t listed either. I’d like to correct my record if you have the source.
