Eric Gales : Too Close To The Fire 

I have never seen someone put more soul into a guitar solo than this! This is pure talent and complete dedication to the guitar. One can only dream of being so deep into music as him

Le meilleur Éric Gales

The conflict between the mind and releasing your soul is evident here. Eric fights it! Not intentionally, He floats in and out almost purposefully. Us humans could only dream of being in the “pocket” and letting our soul speak. I see a man traveling through space and time with such passion.. Beautiful isn’t the right word. I’m awestruck.

Sounds like Comfortably Numb to me. Awesome 👌

And he took them to church….E G is a musical gift from God

❤ You can't get that anywhere else!

How come I never heard of Eric! This guy is amazing! I enjoyed this very much, thank you 🙏

The BEST blues guitar player on the planet!!

HE WENT GOD MODE 🐐🔥

hes making it up as he go, that shows he a real bluesman, that how the old timers did it, shout out to lightin hopkins

on top of his beautiful performance, I wish I could smile at a man the way his wife ALWAYS smiles at him when he's performing. THAT is always the (or one of) the highlights of an Eric Gale performance!

Saw him last week. This song was the emotional climax of the show. What an awesome song and killer performance

This brother is so blessed! And I love his testimony! And I agree, humbler and a really cool dude!

Blown away

This is Comfortably numb of Blues! that was unbelievable

Man the transitions are so dope with all the different styles!

The only other thing to add to this performance is the guitar literally going up in smoke bc he SHREDS it!!!❤❤❤ i dont even like blues but THIS MAN's music speaks to my soul in an unspeakable language! And someone commented aboyt how he and his wife exchange smikes n glances...that's an added layer too. So much being said with no words!! ❤❤❤

Reminds me of a cross between David Gilmour and Robin Trower. My face just melted off!

I like the smile on the face of that female drummer.......😊!

I don't think Eric is capable of playing a note or phrase he isn't 100% committed to. He pours himself into his playing in a way that separates him from so many other great players.

Eric is amazing. Love it. this is totally an upfront reverie of Gilmour Comfortably Numb.

Excellent video from a brilliant show

The man is so proud of his playing that, he has to stop playing and strut around the stage about every 25 seconds or so before he can resume playing again ........cracks me up.

The guy is great! I wish i could live forever just to listen to his music!! He is blessed and we are blessed to have him. One love to the world!!

Eric Gales is the best guitarist playing today. I wanna be Eric Gales

Eric is a crazy good blues guitar player

So much natural power. Phenomenal.

I've watched this several times since discovering it and I've only just noticed, he's playing a right handed guitar upside down!

This is insane speed and melodic phrasing

Good Lord have mercy!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Ooh man this comfortably numb on the next level I'm diggin it

the guy plays with so much feeling and soul, just one or two notes he brings you in

thanks Mark ............ he really is a great guy to be around and my fav guitarist on the planet. Son and I first met him in 2008 while he was still living in Memphis, son was helping him with his website and we also helped him set up for several concerts until he moved to Minnesota

Representative of guitarist around the world 🌎...this cat rules.

Literally one of the best, if not the best player on Earth. The ultimate combination of technique and pure passion.

If I hadn't watched this myself; I'd swear he was playing a Violin 🎻! His guitar is upsidedown with Low E in the cup of his hand! Unbelievable sound!

This is my favorite off the Crown album. Phenomenal music maker/guitar player

Brilliant. Great guitar player. 🎸🖤🎸🖤🎸

You possess the thing. The gift only the almighty can make happen. Hope you know that Eric my brother

That performance, he’s just a boss on stage!

Eric I can feel you...

this guy is a virtuoso that other virtuosos look up to

Wow! That was borderline out of control but the man keeps the rhythm flowing. Love it!

Thank you, Friend
