absolutely no comparison between Hendrix and Eric -- Eric is the real deal. The dude is a master of chords / scale combination all in one mix with flawlessness...bottomline
man oh man, he's next to Napoleon Murphy Brock, the most positive stage diver I know, the reason to see & hear music alive, respect for their tours and their no quarter busbedrooms ;-)
@ Baba Emir- The amp is a Genz Benz-700 maybe...can't make out the model but you're right the sound is fantastic. But then to his credit, he's got an excellent touch and feel. I think he's playing it straight, no effects. There's a small G-B at one of the churches I play at and I don't really have to adjust much at all when I play. It gives a nice fat warm but not overbearing sound.
I am guitarist myself, but there are some guitarists, I never tried to copy, because the reason for the their playing lies so deep in themselves, that it can't be copied, like Jimi Hendrix oder Jeff Beck, and he is one of them too.
Anyone know what bass, strings, amp and effects if any the bass player was using? His sound was strong making everything Eric and the drummer did, rock solid.
I'm not to compare guitar players, but what do guitarists like Robert Cray and Gary Clark, Jr. have that this guy doesn't? They are much more well-known, but, IMO, he's the better player. No auto-picking here, Gales is feeling every note he plays! Hope he comes to my area soon so I can catch him live.
***** it's all about the song writing man.. that's why they are more mainstream... he can out play the hell out of them though... this guy's chordal and voicing vocabulary is off the charts... where does he come up with this stuff?
That is exactly what it is. He is exploding, surprising, he lives the tones and chords and how he does. There is noone compared to him, he is unique. And he is a brilliant entertainer too.

In other words: Robert Cray and softies like him get, what Eric Gales deserves. But I think he is too much musical personality to go the esy listening. He needs an auditory, that is able, to spot this genius.
for a lesson in beautiful blues improv ...... it takes a mature understanding to appreciate the shit this fellow does so casually on his guitar ........
In my 62 years..I have listened to a lot of great guitarists..But few with the skill and emotional investment of Eric Gales. Awesome.
One of the mostunderrated guitarists in this genre.
He's amazing and unique, a true genius.

Holy shit!

You know you're doing something right when Doug Rappoport says you 'rule all' in the comments section!
Someone knows the lyrics of the first song, Make it There?

I'm also surprised he's not more well-known. This guy can play with anybody. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves someday.

I believe he's right handed he just taught himself to play that way.
Unequivacally a guitar genius in only the rarest company Jimi being one.
26:10 DAAMMNN!!!!
groovy,man,nice Hendrixian vibe
I like Eric's tone better when he plays his Magneto ;)
Anyone know what gauge of strings he uses?
he uses 10-46
you can add some stevy wonder & ray charles for the groovy jazzy flavor
He has Raphael Saadiq rhythm section.
12:20, Top!!!
hes a Tele man! this new toy sounds to fluid for him
Jimi would love Eric...anyway Eric loves Jimi°)!:
yes
my grandfather - is white, my father and I - are all - white. But the main thing to be true and honest. ERIC - forward!!!!!
Eric Gales + Will Smith = Long Lost Twin Brothers
animal
So ridiculous!
