Best, most creative, most technically accomplished, most innovative, most inspirational guitarist of all time in the blues sector (with the possible exception of Jimi H.) but for these times, no one can touch Eric Gales.
He sure is something I just discovered him this evening. I’m sure by your comment you know this, but he plays his guitar the left handed way but unlike Hendrix didn’t change the strings or nut around - so essentially he’s play a non adjusted right handed guitar upside down ! That is crazy and a definite factor in his unique style. Instant fan, what a player.
@@ashleycooper7208 nice. Well said. Welcome to the family (and it is a strong one :) LOL) ❤There's some great earlier Eric on Dunlop sessions vids that are well worth checking out... compositions he doesn't really do all that much any more.. and a lot of his live stuff with Josh Smith is worth the search (slow blues). Peace
@@ashleycooper7208 I just discovered one tonight, which I had never seen Eric Matt Schofield Tomo Fujito holy moly ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-amtLZwS441M.html we live in interesting times surrounded by masters of music and Art this is unreal
This guy is one of the best on Earth right now....if not THE best...... He's like Stevie Wonder meets Eric Johnson. Soooo interesting to hear this guy. Could NEVER get sick of this.... And he is a virtuoso...something you don't hear very often in this kind of music. He's a SHREDDER!!!!
Eric Gales, é visceral, é o Anti-Guitar-Hero, o Anti-Acadêmico, um fraseado super Pessoal, o Aqui Agora, a nota surpresa, totalmente imprevisível, é fabuloso..! Vida Longa, Eric Gales..!
Stumbled across this dude,I’ve just noticed he plays the guitar left handed but it’s not a left handed guitar- it’s a right handed guitar upside down, notice headstock, he learnt to play the strings upside down! Talk about unique! What a player. 🔥
Yes, and that's his signature guitar. It's built completely as a right handed guitar, down to the placement of knobs and jack. He is a really unique guitar player.
Eric and the band having a lil Fun 🎉,, the audience needs a Kick Start,,to freaking quiet ,, interesting how different cultures respond to music so full of energy,, Release Yourself,( Graham Central Station) circa 1974,,
Me too You’re right it is about fun And he and everyone is indeed enjoying it. Just doesn’t mean it can touch all of us. When with some insight and the ability to listen we can grow. That would expand his world tremendously. Your comment to me expanded mine. Thanks.
That guy needs to be arrested cause his fingers went way over the speed limit!!! LOL! A leftie that doesn't change the strings around like Hendrix. This fellow is incredible...tremendous band too!
Lol! Your opinion and ears mean nothing to anybody. But it is sad that you are of such limited capacity in your ability to comprehend the beauty in Eric's guitar playing. But alas' All of us who do "hear" Eric..Could give a Rats fat🫏 what you think.
A little choppy & running riffs up & down the neck without a smooth flow of sound from the heart & soul… but okay, have fun with it… agree with Mr. Lopez here in comments
He's amazing. Just wish he wouldn't bring his audience down with some bs he's a victim of being black. Just bs. Why? Play your talent out to the people and stop the politics.
Got chops but not very tasteful. Gets boring when a player just plays over and over and over basically the same thing thenbegs for a response. He ain’t Gary Moore. People in the audience aren’t very educated as to what is musical. They settle for anything. Sorry folks but his reputation exceeds his ability.
I used to hang out at a guitar shop where Eric was giving lessons for a time. The dude has serious depth. He can pull out his Tuck Andress or Shawn Lane inspired stuff that he doesn't really do live. I saw him play a gig in a small club years ago, and it was life changing, one of the most incredible live shows I've ever seen. I saw an impromptu jam between Eric and one of the best guitarists in my area who is a friend, and it was insane. My friend was throwing all these crazy jazz chord changes at Eric, and Eric didn't flinch and improv'd over it no problem. Not everything Eric does is magical, but when he's on, look out...
I am starting to see a pattern emerge from you folk with last names like Lopez, Hernandez, Garcia, Martinez, Rodríguez and Sánchez could have saved myself some typing and just said boarder walkers. They have contributed next to nothing in the grand scheme of American music. Black people didn't just write songs they created genres; The Blues, Jazz, Soul, Funk, Gospel, Reggae, Rap, Hip Hop, Go Go and Rhythm&Blues. These boarder walkers are becoming increasingly bold and antagonistic toward black people in our country- We all need to be cognizant and remain aware of these third world people and the attitudes they bring with them, they have no real appreciation for our culture, American history or patriotism. The nerve of this boarder walker to fix his face to criticize this great musician----
