    I like how Eric counted all the the frets.

      @tonypepperoni612 7 лет назад +2

      i remember that interview. I don't really pay attention to when i picking either, so when people ask i tell them i don't know. I think it's a mix of both economy and alternating.

    • @julienpregent4397
      @julienpregent4397 6 лет назад +2

      And said 22 scale LOL that is not the scale bro its a number of frets

    • @julienpregent4397
      @julienpregent4397 6 лет назад +10

      Inventor - you are totally lost. The radius has nothing to do with the scale lenght LOL. And the scale lenght is a measurement in inches,the most common being the gibson scale (24,75"), fender scale (25.5") and PRS scale (25"). Gales counted the frets, thats all. Scale lenght =measurement of the neck from the front edge of the nut to the center of the 12th (octave) fret, then doubling that measurement.

      If he started at the 12th, he would be there sooner.

    • @ryan.1357
      @ryan.1357 6 лет назад +1

      Then called it "twenty-two scale". It's amazing how lovable this guy is. It's almost like he needed to count the number of strings to see how many there happened to be, yet he can play better than 99.9% of people on earth.

    I remember the first time I saw Eric..... I had heard "Paralyzed" on KISW out of Seattle, and LOVED the sound of it. The EG Band appeared on Arsenio Hall, and played the song..... Good God. I watched it again recently, and if anyone hasn't seen it, watch it. He's 18 in the clip.... insane. EXTREMELY talented, a real gift. Great singer too. He went through some really hard times, and it seems to have taken something from him, and it's a shame. He's still great, he's still a talent but he lost a little something special along the way. Yeah, as amazing as he still is I can't help but wonder what he would have been if he hadn't put himself through like he did. It is what it is, I'm glad he's still around, and still playing. Eric is one of the all timers, for sure. He's right up there.

    With Gales playing upside down, he has access to different chord shapes. Those are the chords right-side up players have difficulty playing / seeing.

      No joke he lived in my city for a few years when I was in music school and I had the opportunity to take like 5 lessons from him! He was super cool and generous with his time, only paid for hour lessons but we'd consistently go for like an hour and a half. The only problems were the fact that he plays upside down, and the fact that the man is a god and is literally incapable of dumbing anything down lol. Learned a lot, but even as a guitar student in college I literally could not comprehend what he was trying to show me, I think he might actually have divine powers or is alien or some shit

      Wow!
      Only lesson I ever had from a famous guitarist was a one off with Frank Gambale in London 1988 when he was first demonstrating his economy picking techniques. He was super enthusiastic and a genuine bloke from Australia. He had a full head of hair too back then.
      Met a few famous guitarists too but without a lesson, recently met Andy James who grew up in Portsmouth only 20 miles from me! Great bloke also, with very accurate playing and with a very quiet voice when he talks!
