You bet. It's like seeing a guitarist from Woodstock travelling 40 years into future eh. I live in Central England and boy oh boy, did he change my day , ( ageing Jimi freak) !!!!!!
Love this dude. Im a metal head but as a player myself i can appreciate another players chops and vibe. I also was a severe heroin and benzo addict then became a fentanyl and benzo addict and have over dosed and almost died more times than i can count over the span of 10 years. When i turned 30 i was mentally and physically tired and exhausted like erick was. I got clean and decided to pick up the guitar and ive never looked back. Been clean for 3 years straight. I still trip out sometimes that i made it out of that lifestyle alive. Will always respect this man as a man first and a player second. Much love big bro.
What a great player so amazing. I love him so much. He's so spiritual and caring. I've never seen anything like it. Not too old to love this beautiful EG.. A true all rounder.by the way I'm in my mid 60s .play forever my friend.

Guitarist immortal I hope he is looked after in America treated like he should be the rest of WORLD ❤ him respect him now that he changed for who he is now a LEGEND RESPECT that this man deserves look what happened to great musos in the past in America Eg SIster ROSETTA THORPE ❤. 🥝 kiwi fan says total RESPECT ERIC GALES ❤

We celebrate with you brotha. Each musician has a story. Without that the music wouldn’t come from the soul. What good musician hasn’t struggled. Perfection is an Un achievable goal.
Mr Gales , I had the good fortune to see you in concert. My friend had a opportunity to go back stage...As for me he different offer that situation. You see Im inflicted with the same thing that you can relate to. Upside down. bass guitar play playing.. You gave me hope for all of us, backward rockers.
Just knowing that there is a fellow Filipino on TeamEG makes me feel closer to my ultimate guitar hero of all fckn time. Headcutter Jonathan Lovett we are proud of you man! 🇵🇭
My hero as well of all time. Son and I have known him since 2008 hanging out in Memphis and helping in whatever way we could. My son worked on his first crude website for a while, Eric even gave him a credit (Arthur Smith) on the liner notes for Transformation. I can't wait for the new release coming in a few months, produced by none other than Joe Bonamassa. Eric is the real deal
Thanks ERIC for being a REAL HUMAN BEING, also for show casing this guy from our little country, Philippines(named after the King of spain w/c is King Phillip ll) ...JUst hoping you know also that the spiritual name of this country is MAHARLIKA... Maha means GREAT & Likha means CREATION! Wishing you could spread the word for us! Thanks for the Soul Blowing MUSIC!
8:48 is when the music starts, but I have to say... Eric. you are humble, you are amazing! you start making the guitar sing! Can't wait to listen to you Live!
I lived In Memphis( from from 73 to 79.. went to Bruce elementary and Bellevue Jr high ..and central high all my friends s lived in either in .lamar terrace. Or Dixie homes ...Mr McKee has been good to us
Mr. Eric is similar to one of the heroes of the comedy .. but he plays as a reincarnation of Jimi Hendrix only a higher level of pumping :) Bravissimo !!!
Congrats on being clean. its a shame when a person never learns to throttle themselves, all out messed up all of the time. I partake when I can but life is busy.
its good to see Suge Knight had drums to fall back on. From technical sense he's doing everything the wrong way, but I think he's actually doing it right. I think the guitar might be easier to play like this!!!
WTH? this dude used to play here in L.A. like 3 times a week back in the day...I never went to see him... MY BIG LOSS.... I'll catch him here nesstime...
What do you mean to get you do you mean get you to we have a relationship with you or understand you I don't understand ..I like the chords..pretty..it sounds like a combination of purple rain prince in the beginning and i don't need another hero. Tina turner. Or at the same point of view for the keys and the vibe..I'm a idiot servant and I am not a good expresses of my thoughts
Eric Gales is so criminally underrated that it makes me so sad. I've seen many guitar experts but this man here is phenomenal.
Man! this video deserves a million views now!
You bet. It's like seeing a guitarist from Woodstock travelling 40 years into future eh. I live in Central England and boy oh boy, did he change my day , ( ageing Jimi freak) !!!!!!
The fact that he's playing like that with a right-handed guitar flipped upside down puts him high above in a different category for me.
Exactly!!
There's a guy lives in Chicago name Criss Johnson plays the same way since he was about eight years old one of the best I ever seen.
Hendrix, nuff said
@@highjenks3d Hendrix switched the strings around (left) Eric plays strung right
@@highjenks3d Nick Schnebelen, and Coco Montoya prefer this string orientation also ( bass strings on the bottom)
Required viewing if you play electric Blues guitar. Genius
At first sight you think he is a rapper but this man is an animal on guitar.i love this brother for decades.Killer player
All glory to God. Through his son Jesus.
When he came to Michigan he just brought it. Blown away.
Love this dude. Im a metal head but as a player myself i can appreciate another players chops and vibe.

Love Jonathon. He has become a big part of Erics band's sound.
So happy Eric is back at it again! Thanks for putting up this video! One of my all time favorite blues artists.
A force of nature.
A bonafied star in any type of music/// as evidenced here
I love when he rips ,,he’s one of the cleanest blues players on the planet

Wow Eric, I had the same dope problem. Love this dude..
James Marshall is watchin from sky thinkin....this is my heritage
The talk he gives us in the beginning is inspirational enough , and then he delivers that guitar assault. Ha
einfach schön
EPIC!!!
FREAKING GREAT!!!
Mr. Eric is similar to one of the heroes of the comedy .. but he plays as a reincarnation of Jimi Hendrix only a higher level of pumping :) Bravissimo !!!
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The SM58 mic is surely a legend
when the sound guy switches mics, the transformation is outstanding ...good old SM58
😀 Genius
Dude is amazing
This man is insane on guitar
So underrated!
Fantastico
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
real cool
HE COULD DO THE GO GO SCENE TOO !
I like you
Oh Yeah!!
Very emotional
Anyone catch what kind of amp he's playing through here? Great tone as well.
Congrats on being clean. its a shame when a person never learns to throttle themselves, all out messed up all of the time. I partake when I can but life is busy.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
i didnt realize he was so versatile them cords wow
Show nuff funky !! What Time is it ?
And don't forget to boogie!
listen to me when i tell you this eric gales can play the shit out of a guitar.
Absolutely positively correct 👏 👌 👍
its good to see Suge Knight had drums to fall back on. From technical sense he's doing everything the wrong way, but I think he's actually doing it right. I think the guitar might be easier to play like this!!!
WTH? this dude used to play here in L.A. like 3 times a week back in the day...I never went to see him... MY BIG LOSS.... I'll catch him here nesstime...
英語が分からなくて、あなたの言葉が分からなくてすみません😢今後の、ご活躍期待しています。❤
FUCK THIS IS SO GOOD !
How was that crowd not feeling this???
Gucci
hahahaa a gold, left handed strat!
Interesting. Eric looks like he's playing a KIESEL neck instead of his signature magneto.
The right guitar is played with the left hand.
He s got the spirit of all afroamerican guitarrists in his playin and took it to another level
He's Jimmy Hendrix Reincarnation man wow
He is kingfishes uncle
What do you mean to get you do you mean get you to we have a relationship with you or understand you I don't understand ..I like the chords..pretty..it sounds like a combination of purple rain prince in the beginning and i don't need another hero. Tina turner. Or at the same point of view for the keys and the vibe..I'm a idiot servant and I am not a good expresses of my thoughts
If I believed in that stuff I would think he is a reincarnation of Jimi Hendrix.
