    Eric Gales is back again. Since last chatting with John Bohlinger in 2017, the blues maestro’s rig has transitioned to include more signature Raw Dawg gear pieces-including pedals, amps, and, of course, his signature Magneto guitars. Just last year, the lefty slinger released the Grammy-nominated, Crown, which features collabs with his pal Joe Bonamassa. Gales was touring in support of that record when he rolled through Nashville.

    So crazy to see this pop up today because I just saw Eric in Chattanooga last night!!! He's not only a monster player, like Jimi and SRV rolled up into one, but also one of the coolest and most humble dudes you'll ever meet. Being able to see him play an intimate show in front of just a hundred or so people was absolutely mind-blowing.

    I was a roadie for (what turned out to be) Dick Dale’s final tour.
    At one point I showed him a video of Eric playing his guitar the same way, lefty and upside-down.
    He had to really zoom in to believe what I was telling him. I don’t think he saw many people ever play that way in all his life.
    So, if Eric was ever inspired by Dick Dale then you can tell him that he got to impress Dick Dale before he left the planet. 🤙🏻
    (And Dick didn’t really give a shit about other guitar players. - Glen Campbell, perhaps, but don’t quote me on that)

    I saw Eric at Blues fest for the first time back in 2018 and he blowed the roof off the stage! Needless to say his gig was one of the best ones that I had ever had the great fortune of being apart of!

    I believe that Eric Gales play his guitar the way my idol Dick Dale did right when he (Dick Dale) first met Leo Fender back in 1954. He flipped the Fender Stratocaster and play it left-handed without restringing it. Despite he plays modern music and recently gets his own signature Magneto, but I think that it will be even better if Eric is inspired by the King of Surf Guitar himself and of course, Jimi Hendrix. Wish Mr. Eric Gales all the best, from Vietnam.
