I mean Joe's playing more than just first position pentatonic. He's throwing in some phrygian, harmonic minor, and some diminished licks. His fast runs are just the pentatonic flurries similar to what Eric Johnson would play. Joe's playing is definitely way cleaner than Gales. But each have their own style.

Samuel Migala : He’s in a different harmonically sphere than Jimi. Jimi wasn’t that shreddy ;-) I think the fact that Eric is a lefty plus his looks sometimes leads people to compare him to Jimi a little too fast.
Mikel Bluni when you see him live it really shows. I remember when he first got noticed and it was insane to see someone that naturally gifted. He’s been around for a long time
Both of these two amazing musician's were teenage prophets of the guitar. And here are they killing it as middle aged giants. What a true blessing this is!.........Thank you so much!
Back in 1995, Eric Gales gave me my first bass guitar lesson on Scott St at Eric Shotwell's studio. It was my first bass and I knew that I wanted to play bass guitar; but he showed me what was possible!!!! Thanks Eric!
Obviously a stunning standard of guitar playing but respect to the drummer and bass for just keeping the rhythm section going while the boys do their thang!
I think it's well known the real heroes of any band is the rhythm section. I mean guitars are cool but c'mon man. It's the bass and drums that get people outta their seat and up on their feet.
Well you just play for fun and enjoy doing the day it becomes a headache it's time to quite is the way I see it because a person will never really top some of the shit that's already been done anyhow because it's basically impossible !
This was smokin' hot. Two fantastic guitarist and musicians. Love both guys and have for years. I love how they played off one another not trying to outdo but mesh and soar together. Also love that they did not stick with typical blues notes and patterns with almost an Eastern or middle Eastern flair wow they were burning up the finger boards. Have to give major credit also to bass and drums. They kept it solid the whole time these guys left the Universe on their solos, but had that solid bottom so they had a foundation to come back too.

That's no competition... That's just the two best guitarists around punching it right out. No losers,,, just perfection doing what it does. Mind,,,, blown!
Two guitarists alternately blowing each others minds, inspiring each other to greater heights. Literally this is one of the best guitar jams I have ever heard.
Eric Gales is true talent. He learned to play the guitar upside down, strings are not reversed like Hendrix did. As a guitar player, watching him play an upside down guitar is amazing.
@@Ri-Ci WHOA. I did not know that part of his story. That might actually play some trick on the mind? But for sure, make his tone very specific to him.
You can't hard work yourself to run a 4.3 40 yard dash or throw a baseball 98mph. You must first be born with the God given talent to do it. Same the the guitar. Anyone can pick a guitar and play, but only those with a natural gift will rise to the top and play like 99.9% of all guitar players never will.

Damn Eric Gales plays like the guitar is playing itself and he is along for the ride. Just ridiculous how pure his sound is. By that I mean its not just wailing away but each note is full of emotion and feel. Some people can play a whole lot of notes and play nothing but like BB King he can make a single note give you goose bumps. So incredible.
@Johnny Crustacean you said it my friend. Music is the ONLY thing that brings all races, sides, and cultures together. This clip is an encapsulation of that. ✌

So the figures are clear being cooked . For example If a person has AIDS and they have a heart attack and die , AIDS doesn't go down as the cause . Heart failure does .

Both are incredible, but I can't imagine Eric Gales ever feeling intimidated by any other guitarist on stage. The man just channels some otherworldly force through his fingers.

Depending on how old you go ,you could be talking high six figures. If I could make a suggestion, go with a prs ce24 or a McCarty. Amazing sound to go with a great feel, and no where near the qc issues of a newer gibson

Joe is singing that is why doesn't give so much attention. Joe is amazing and very kind guy. Giving changes for many guitarist to shine along wih him. They are brothers and both are very nice persons.
Had to google that one Jonathan, however you're absolutely right, as soon as you hear and understand the scale, their ripping solos come through clearly! Deadset legends, the pair of them! Looking forward to a Keeping the Blues Alive Cruise one day!
Completion is amazing when it’s like this - two masters pushing each other to be better than they already are. This will go down in history as one of the greatest guitar duels/shows ever.
Damn! Front row at Eric Gales at a NC blues festival years ago. A live wire, massive stage presence, shredded the guitar and vocals. He tore the the place down. Awesome to run across this.
I saw Joe also in NC, but on his own tour. It was fricking amazing, he handed me the pick, set list, and the drummer gave me the drumsticks, and my dad bought me a signed JB 335, I will never forget this day. This year too
Describing Joe as a professor is perfect. Those who can do, do. Those that cant, teach. Joe is a very, very good guitar player. Technically, spot on. But he lacks what cant be taught. The soul and innovation of a truly great guitarist. Plus I can pay 1/2 or 1/3 of what it costs to see Joe and get to see Buddy Guy, Eric Gales, Gary Clark, Billy Strings or quite a few others.
If he were "literally" born at the crossroads he would have been born in the street where two or more roads intersect. Let's try some English next time.
felt that way at times seeing brats blow me away on piano..but I cant lift the Steinway over the lip of the trashcan. Why add a hernia to the pain of hearing myself play piano?
When Ian Anderson started in music, before Jethro Tull, he stated his goal was ''...to be the greatest guitarist ever - but then I heard Clapton". LOL, so he became a great flautist! (Arrogant AF, but great).

Not really a duel as much as a joyful celebration and demonstration of mutual greatness.
Yeah, hopefully they meant to put a "t"
Amen
more of a conversation between two amazing 6 string slingers
Thank you, Pinky.
Thank you, Pinky.
Love how Eric shows so much pleasure here,
And Joe, too!
Makes me get happy !!!!!
True ! Feel the same
happy. there are different levels. im there at the apogy right with you. holy wow. respect. i see it too. time to eat, and then round 6.
Both are so in love - it is LIKE they are 'making' love w/the Guitars!!!!! :)
Невозможно оторваться ,от такого исполнения,золотые пальчики,браво!!!
They really match together very well!
The guitars have spoken, they've became best of friends.
What an awesome preformance !
Got some Phrygian Dominant progression going on in that bridge and it’s delicious.
Had to google that one Jonathan, however you're absolutely right, as soon as you hear and understand the scale, their ripping solos come through clearly! Deadset legends, the pair of them! Looking forward to a Keeping the Blues Alive Cruise one day!
Completion is amazing when it’s like this - two masters pushing each other to be better than they already are. This will go down in history as one of the greatest guitar duels/shows ever.
Ich liebe es, diese beiden im Duell, einer links- einer rechtshändig und beide gemeinsam haben soviel Charme und Spaß!
Joe should jam with Eric more often. He brings out more soul in his vocals.
they need to start a damn band like now
Love the way they fed off of each other. And both were blown away by each other.
Damn! Front row at Eric Gales at a NC blues festival years ago. A live wire, massive stage presence, shredded the guitar and vocals. He tore the the place down. Awesome to run across this.
I saw Joe also in NC, but on his own tour. It was fricking amazing, he handed me the pick, set list, and the drummer gave me the drumsticks, and my dad bought me a signed JB 335, I will never forget this day. This year too
I was also front row, lol!
If that doesn’t put a smile on your face I don’t know what will
Not even the biggest fan of either guy but no denying this is one of the most epic duels ever. Holy shit.
This is probably the best dual I’ve ever heard in my entire life
Wow!!!!! I LOVE this!!!! Thanks for posting!!!!!!!!!!!!
At 2:42 look at the happiness on Erics face when he turns something up on his pedals. You just know that he's ready
So basically Joe is one of the best music professors in the world and Eric was literally born at the crossroads.
I will keep practicing.
Willie Brown I'll take you there yeah that's under contract
Truth! Good luck, brother!
Describing Joe as a professor is perfect. Those who can do, do. Those that cant, teach. Joe is a very, very good guitar player. Technically, spot on. But he lacks what cant be taught. The soul and innovation of a truly great guitarist.
Plus I can pay 1/2 or 1/3 of what it costs to see Joe and get to see Buddy Guy, Eric Gales, Gary Clark, Billy Strings or quite a few others.
Jim T yeah Gary Clark jr. is phenomenal.
If he were "literally" born at the crossroads he would have been born in the street where two or more roads intersect. Let's try some English next time.
I love this, so much!
Such a killer performance! This is timeless.
I was playing my guitar until I came across this video then I threw it in the trash 😂
felt that way at times seeing brats blow me away on piano..but I cant lift the Steinway over the lip of the trashcan. Why add a hernia to the pain of hearing myself play piano?
lol
Makes me wanna play mine more!!
When Ian Anderson started in music, before Jethro Tull, he stated his goal was ''...to be the greatest guitarist ever - but then I heard Clapton". LOL, so he became a great flautist! (Arrogant AF, but great).
I made a nice bonfire out of all my guitars lol.
