      @Noel Carvajal I was chatting with Eric a few years ago and he said that that Trower, not Hendrix was his biggest influence!

      not even close, SRV eg. was much much better

    • @porkbelly0713
      @porkbelly0713 4 года назад +2

      well Jimi actually said that his two fav guitarists were Billy Gibbons and Terry Kath of CTA................... Trower is not ten times better but I do love his music. I saw him with Procul Harem on the Broken Barricades tour, mainly dominated by Gary Brooker on piano and vocals. I have seen Eric too many times to count, he is a beast for sure

    Guitarists who play upside down are very rare. You have to learn everything yourself. Eric Gale has cool runs that I haven't heard from anyone else.

  • @SeanKL107
    @SeanKL107 3 года назад +7

    Taylor is a fucking beast.
    She's got the voice of Janis Joplin, the guitar tone of Eric Johnson, and a pretty damn unique playing style that takes serious skill to develop

      He has much more control of his single line phrasing than Jimi had--but Jimi's motivic/ compositional arc is on another level---but thats because he created that language...But Eric is the greatest "Stewart" of it, the carrier of the flame.

      Mr. Gales is a consummate master of Stratocaster-styled phrasing, and Taylor has clearly studied the phrasing of the British Blues masters (Clapton, Green, and M. Taylor) very thoroughly. They are both virtuosos.

    EG has played numerous axes from different makers, but I believe the one he's playing here is his Brute Drive EG Signature guitar from EWS. Just going by the headstock design. But regardless of the make of guitar he plays, he can lay the lumber. He is mind blowing w/ his dexterity n fluid runs. It's tough enough to be able to glide up n down the fretboard w/ ease the way Eric does anyway, but to be able to pistol whip the instrument in upside down fashion is off the scales! My new fav axe slayer!

      I'm a lefty player, n wouldn't wish that on anybody starting out on guitar that are left handed lol. It's tough enough progressing as a lefty player(playing standard left hand strung guitars). I would walk into this local music store where I live yrs ago, it was a really big building w/ two floors. Walk upstairs and the whole 2nd floor was dedicated to electric guitars n basses. 500 plus axes covered the walls, just gorgeous instruments. Well w/ a room full of guitars, there would be two left handed guitars at most, n they were junk lol. I felt like a kid in a candy store who was allergic to candy lol. So, as most lefty's starting out, I played junky right hand guitars w/ the strings switched to left hand stringing. As I've gotten older n been playing for alota yrs now, I'm comfortable being a lefty. There's more quality left hand instruments available now days. But if I had it to do all over again, I would have made myself learn to play right handed. 2% of the world population are lefty. That's just strange to me lol. Sorry so winded. I said all that to say, that bc of....I learned to play most chords upside down(standard rt hand tuning), but I can't imagine playing fluid lead that way. Eric Gales, Doyle Bramhall, Albert King, all play/ed that way. All the scales/solo's you play are all upside down. I've never seen anyone who can play masterfully that way like Eric Gales does. He is a phenomenon. Sorry again Gina Always for the long text. Just interesting watching EG vids(the lady is awesome as well).

      @@syarbrough8510 I'm lmao and feeling sorry at the same time! Yes times have changed for the lefty players indeed. It makes me wonder with all these amazing, awesome, left handed guitarists and the shit they had to go through just to play! With that talent if they were right handed what would they have sounded like? Left handed players have more talent in so many ways than the usual right handed players. If you get a chance please go see Joanne Shaw Taylor she's so talented and totally amazing. Jo, drummer and base that's all it takes for some great blues! I'm friends with some great players and have been very fortunate to VIP with who I consider the best. I guess I need to remember that in my prayers tonight when times get bad remember what I'm grateful for. I'm having a hard time playing due 3 neck surgeries. Got some beautiful axes that I have to sit in order to play and need to remember at least I can sit and play. Blessings to you, thanks for sharing and making me just about piss my pants laughing!!!🎸✌

    EG can kill those Eric Johnson runs! I heard an interview where Gales said that EJ was an influence. The mastery of an instrument is a great achievement that sets an artist apart from most, but the master was also a student at one time in their life, and they learned from someone, or something else(...yea God is excluded lol). It's hard to imagine someone like Miles Davis learning from others, but some where/some time he did. Same w/ Hendrix, who was influenced by Albert King, Buddy Guy, n others. The Charlie Parker's, Charlie Patton's, etc...But they all took things they saw, heard, were taught, and emulated them, eventually finding their own style and sound from. Eric Gales has done the same I'm sure; taken all these influences, and mashed them up into his own style, and man does he ever have his own identity! His rapid fire runs are staggering, yet he can slow it down to a crawl making his axe weep, and the crowd as well. He is definitely up there w/ the greats imho! He will only get better, bc though they are masters of their instrument, they will be the first to say that there's plenty to learn still!
