Interview with Eric Gales "About Jimi Hendrix and Me" 

I so agree, and the shame it is, I live on the west coast of Australia and unless you buy every guitar magazine available and surf youtube you just don’t hear about artists like Eric Gale, all we get is empty calories over the radio waves here..

9 years later, and my 53 year old ass will agree with your opinion. He was a child prodigy like his departed younger brother, born to play. Just like natural athletes...naturally gifted musically inclined.

Well said 👍🏼

Mayer can’t hang with Gales

Yes indeed.

Sounds like you play, and are really knowledgeable in what your hearing?

the difference between him & Hendrix is Eric writes sensible lyrics...

@@vincentl.9469 Yo, Vincent...! "Sensible...lyrics"...??? Obviously, that's either a wild, laugh 'til ya can't breathe joke or you're just having fun trolling to get a knee jerk reaction (from someone like me!). An "on the level" comment like that blatantly misses the >entire< point about practically >everything< concerning Jimi Hendrix's songs and musical abilities. Are you a stand up looking for a job, or are you the guy who reads absolutely astounding, mind-blowing poetry while complaining that it's poetic...?!?!? Your comment is so wild that it actually howls...! Love it...keep it up and keep on keepin' on, Vincent...!!! ⚡👍🥴⚡

Dumbest fn thing I v ever heard.

@@jamesmiller3473 Sounds like your an expert at saying dumb things, yourself?

Yeah.

+Roland Passwaters who the fuck is Erick?

You are nuts if you believe that Eric Gales "surpassed" Jimi Hendrix! That is just so far from the truth and historically will never be the case. Jimi was a far more original and creative guitar player , better singer and accomplished song writer with real number 1 hits. I hate it when people think Gales is beyond anything but himself (with his huge street manner and ego.) Eric is a fine guitarist , but he is and will never be on the level and class as Jimi. It will all add up in the end pound for pound.

undergroundjohnny to what you said abd to the one you relpied to. they are different guitatists.. the whole point of influence in the world of music is TO BE INFLUENCED and envision a different way of approaching the music yourself. withkut people veing influenced by others music would never sprrad its genres and become what it is today. imo jimi is the greatest simply because when I listeb to his songs abd others, no music is more alive and is so fluent as hedrix' (for me, its all an opinion especially since you cant aak hendrix...) so the fact gales is influenced by hendrix is grea, but the word clone just.. cant be used, nor the measurement of whos better... for fuck sake they are sooo freaking good the both of them.. if you really want an answe I thing gales is more of a traditional player with his way of building the song around other instruments.. doesnt mean he ait creative or that he is repetetive, hes just an innovator but not in the creativity part of music. jimi was.. exactly that.. and to be able to take something and make it look sound and feel entirely different (music) is such a rare talent, thats why he is who he is. if hendrix started playing today influenced by the music today he wouldve been as big or atleast as influencial because he was avle to do it then without anyone scholding or showing him how.. such a creative way of thinking would definitely be present and will be shown through his playing even today because thats the way he was "programmed" gis braim worked to find something different because he wanted to find something different.. thats all

+TheSloppySlender yeah but don't get it twisted, that fool said he surpassed hendrix, what an idiot..

+undergroundjohnny thank you for straightening that fool out.

hendrix to srv to gales... it is an evolution folks
