Great effin tone for sure. I saw Eric Gales and Eric Johnson at the Experience Hendrix tour in Austin a month ago. His influences are in my top faves, and Eric Gales is just killing all the great licks, and tasty chords, and shredding his own style. He is an artist, and who doesn't love Jimi Hendrix?
He's so right about Jimi, everyone has taken something from the great guy who started it all and brought guitar playing to the fore. Book of guitar is full of many pages written by many great players, Jimi has quite a few more than most but Eric has his page too. Totally a player in his own right, creative with his own style. He has/will influence many a player to come, a very inventive player and musician, may he amaze us for many more years to come.
Well said 👍🏼
My favorite electric player alive right now--
Cat is off the chain...every thing he plays sounds spontaneous...
and it takes a lot of hard work to get to that place as a player...
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.
I think his upside-down stance provides for some completely different voicings of chords than most guitarists will ever find. He has a unique sound.
Eric has such an amazing ear for melody and tone. Everything he plays is an expression.
I want him and John Mayer in a set. Eric is a living legend on that thang.
Mayer can’t hang with Gales
a wonderful tribute to jimi without copying him...love it!
god bless it... he is so good ..so different...
My man Eric is a MONSTER!!! Only from this left handed player you can hear tones that filtrate from his soul. God bless you Eric -- nice work!
Eric Gales is awesome. He's got a very unique sound and style- sounds nothing like Hendrix and that's a good thing. I've been enjoying his work since he was 16 in the Eric Gales Band.
He seems to mix blues with jazz and has his own approach to melody, scales, cords which is really refreshing.
The key to his sound is that he strings the guitar in standard righty but plays lefty, just like Dick Dale and Albert King. This fact influences the chords he plays, how he uses scales and how he thinks about melody.
He also hybrid picks- using middle and ring fingers to play E A and D strings while he picks the high strings.
He's also right handed (like Kris Roe of the Ataris). His fretting hand is dominant so he has the dexterity to fret chords that left handed players cannot reach.
It's really entertaining and educational to watch him play.
His sound is amazing.
Yes indeed.
Sounds like you play, and are really knowledgeable in what your hearing?
Love Eric Gales' playing. It's a unique voice. Musical and moving.
eric's chord voicings are cool
There is a brilliant video on you tube of Eric when he must have been about fifteen at his school in a battle of the bands and even then he was ripping it ,he's a great player
Great music comes from the heart & he has a good one & his music proves it!
Peace
The guy is amazing. Its like he hears all of the great musicians songs ,and makes them his own. They might be their songs by name, but he makes them his while he's playing them. I think all the ones that have passed ,would be proud to hear his interpretation? Very original,guitarist.Loved to see him live,seems very respectful of those that came before him.
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?
You most certainly are no Hendrix clone my friend, you surely have your own thing going and I dig it!
Eric Gales is a FRIKIN' MONSTER!!! I've been in love with his stuff since I heard his first disk, and STILL can't wrap my head around how he plays THAT good with the strings upside down. FRIKIN' AMAZING!!
Always a blessing to see Eric looking healthy.
Listen to his stuff please. You'll see this guy is a world of talent and has been since the 80's.
Eric, you get it done. "Transformation" CD IS unreal !!!!
My humble gifted gracious brother.. we love you man..
one of the best guitarists i have ever heard
I always thought Eric has a unique sound, we can compare Hendrix and Gales in terms of the style of music, but still Eric's sound is different.
Man is class, absolute class!
wow guitar master at work Eric Gales is his own man and as his own voice on the instrument as he said he may have been influenced by Hendrix and few others.
But who as not if you are into blues rock oriented type of music you can't avoid it.
their is only one Hendrix. and their is only one Eric Gales.
Yeah.
I thought no one could come close to Hendrix. I discovered Eric on youtube. That's the style. I'm a fan. Hell of a lot of influence from Hendrix. Damn right. Hendrix took those blues players, mixed 'em up.... so is this guy mixing up influences. Why can't I make a Fender sound like them? Oh, yeah. I don't practice enough.
Your so right Jimi Hendrix influenced just about anyone who even picked up a guitar. if they admit it or not....and you do have your own sound..its great ...i enjoy your music
Just found out about this Brother. Glad I did, and now I'm an instant fan!
When this guy started he was clearly a Hendrix clone, now I hear Eric Gale, and I like it a lot.
arguably the best of the best. music just oozes out Eric.
He's a class act. He has his own unique sound. Beautiful rendition of The Star Spangled Banner.
Eric Gales you been touched by Gods hands
I'm hearing him for the first times, and what anstonishing player!
Eric - Dude.... You are so F'en good!! Love watching and listening to you.
This guy blows my mind.
Whoa!
Nice to hear a younger player speak so highly of Robin Trower. One of the most underrated guitarist of the past few decades.
Dude has his own voice
I really like the way you play this one Eric, truly genius!!!
chord melody mastery
Forget Jimi ,yes there is the influence .Eric Gales is the Best of the Best. Incorporating every style , Rock ,Jazz , Blues and his own take on these genres is the most accomplished guitarist around today . Very humble , original , just wish i had the opportunity to have seen him live. well ill keep looking at the tour dates and when convenient will be there . i
wow, eric is my new favourite guitarist, so wise and humble and has amazing technique too!
I saw him open for King's X when he was like 16, he had so much potential. After some bad life choices, it's good to see him getting back to it
WOW That just blew me away......RESPECT.
Hendrix Forever
JB
i watch this and thing i wish I had YT 20 years ago.... :( Brilliant Musician BTW
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE GUMBO....love ya Eric~
Great job Eric, fly on!
love this guy , eric could you give me lessons
One of my favorite guitarist!
I think Jimi's lyrics fit the times he was living in, and Eric's lyric's fit his times. But he is a very gifted guitarist, and deserves to be mentioned in the same class as Jimi and all the other great ones.
Such a talented dude and humble as hell. One of the greats in my book!
Eric Gales sounds like Eric Gales! Keep On Rippin!
Rarely do you see a great player giving credit where it due.
Yep they all got it from Jimi.
But Eric is trying to take it to another level..
Bravo man!
Beautiful.
A new master is born ! well played and well spoken Eric you said it all ! good luck on you're venture.
damn. he is good as hell. i could watch him hours.
Love his playing
AMAZING!🎸 SO HUMBLE ☺👍
The Man Is The Reincarnation Of the Greatest Guitarist THAT HAS EVER LIVED! HANDS DOWN! God Bless!🙏🏾
there's definitely a lot of Jimi influenced character in Eric's approach to guitar, but they are very different; Jimi was never this jazzy. Some of the other things I've heard from Eric were as much Charlie Parker as they are Jimi.
Great job eric, bless you brother!
That Was Sensational!!!
I love this guy! So Authentic! wise words about people comparing him to Hendrix. He's what Hendrix might have been if he had lived longer! who knows! but above all, i love the end of the video saying, excuse me man, i love this tone! hahaha
Speechless...
I’m not stoked that people compare him to Hendrix... he so much his own entity.
Incredible guitarist, it is a wonder that he is not known by more people!
Very intelligent man i enjoyed video. Hendrix is my idol rip Jimi
I was playing left and right-handed, and left-handed upside-down, using the acoustics of friends.
After I saw Jimi and dropped out of high school for a factory job to buy a Strat and Marshall with effects,
it was tormenting me, having to decide which way to play. It was easier to do everything with the bass strings
on the bottom. I went to see George Benson and he took me backstage to help me decide.
In 1972 I built my first left-handed body with a right-handed neck and took it from there. You should too.
Amazing
Man he makes me want to play guitar!
I like very much Eric Gales. This is the only important thing for me.
Beautiful and melodic
sublime
Gotta love that Two-Rock amp
"That's a great fuckin' tone, man."
Classic.
Man anyone who puts themselves in the same arena as Jimi James needs a head check. More power to him if it helps him in life.
when I first heard him early 90's I knew something wasn't right. It had to be the strings played upside down to make that special sound,
DAM, that man can play !
He has learnt to play with the strings the wrong way up, makes some of the chords shapes harder to workout.
He Said It . TONE!
I thought "no man, too young to be that Eric Gale, and Lord knows I never heard that Eric play this smoking raw and classic at the same time" so I googled and googled and Oh my Gawd... and his influences, Trower, Ray Vaughn, Jimi, and I hear harmonic shades of Ted Green and oh so much more in there. Snakes alive, Music still evolves, thank goodness...
Magic
There's an Eric Gales and an Eric Gale. 2 very different guitarists. Check him out as a teenager sitting in with the house band on the Arsenio Hall show years ago.
You are the closest player to Hendrix I have ever heard !!! Period !!
apparently youve never hear of Stevie Ray Vaughan
Yes I have. He's awesome too, but no, I don't like his Hendrix covers ..... :-) I think John Mayer does a better job than him. Just my opinion.
absolutely correct. i love SRV but he was so aggressive and pushy with his time that he never sounded like hendrix to me. great but not a sound-alike. gales, on the other hand, is one of the only guys i've heard who can do that thing where he's not really in strict time but somehow it all comes together on the downbeat. hopefully that makes sense. it's free, flowing and mesmerising yet always seems to land on both feet. all three are/were great guitarists and all unique.
Eric's little wing is my fav, besides Jimi's,
Still Eric is so totally his own thang.
Just discovered him today, Lord, where have I been?
Raw Dawg is RED HOT!
WELL SAID ERICK
+Roland Passwaters who the fuck is Erick?
excuse me "but thats a great fucken tıne ya'all"... that made me smile..
This guy is real... the real deal...
Really like that little bit of 'Bridge of Sighs' cover. Would like to find a complete version.
yes sir!!!!!!
Now the government is after Gales because he played the Anthem, and the government will cover the death by saying it drunk too much wine and sleeping pills. GREAT ! Jimi and Gales would`ve been jamming in this video. Gales you are a legend ! Keep on playin
They should let you open the super bowl with this bruh👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Cold! Beautiful
Eric Gales is Hendrix's favorite guitar player.
Cool 😎
Stratoblogster Approved!!!
Eric, could you do the "House of Blues" in Houston, Texas. People gotta know !!!
Man I love this cat!
Do not freak, Eric phrasing is completely different and richer lyrical
When you play guitar like that the lower strings are really lower and the higher strings higher.
If you know what I mean!
