Sublime version.
Eric Gales is a pure artist. While fighting his own demons, his generosity of soul, his sincerity and kindness on stage are definitely unique.

The jazzy interpretation, the sweet runs he does in the beginning, the beautiful reharmonization of the chords, and then to top it off I was not expecting a voice that rich. Absolutely incredible version.

@modobomber 11 месяцев назад

This brought tears to my eyes.... not since SRV has someone brought such soul and passion to this song. This right here is another great that is standing on Hendrix's shoulders. Long live Eric Gales!

A guitarist is NOTHING without the best bass and drum players-- and specifically those two accompanists. Why do you think John Mayer, Joe Pass, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmy Page, Clapton were so adamant about who they play with in their core. If the rhythm section can't follow the performance is garbage.

@Connie-B 5 лет назад

I normally don't like anyone doing any of Jimi's versions, but this guy takes it and runs with it. Jimi was wanting to go in the direction of a more jazz approach before he died. I think he'd like this. There's several Hendrix tribute artists out there, but this guy is his own persona. Good going!

@KaninTuzi 4 года назад

Agree. Playing Hendrix while trying to sound just like the recordings is the least Hendrix thing one could do

@DBlairMusic 4 года назад

Agreed, besides that Eric is anything resembling a Jimi impersonator. Not that that’s what you were saying, but just pointing out 👍 This man is closer to Jimi’s peer than a fan

@Connie-B 2 года назад

@@DBlairMusic Oh, I totally agree with you!! He is influenced by Jimi and if Jimi were around today he would be absolutely thrilled with him and what direction he has gone with his music. It was so hard for Jimi to do his own thing as people and management had him blocked into his old stage antics and note by note stuff. He wanted so badly to go this direction where he could be free with his music and style. Peer would be completely correct. No way would I ever imply Gales was any type of impersonator. :-)
