    One of the baddest, meanest six string slingers we as a planetary race have to offer right now. Don’t sleep on Uncle Eric.

      He had the advantage of touring with Santana, as a teenager. He was a killer player back then, but he never was a very good songwriter, and he missed many of his younger years, due to psychological issues, mainly tied to substance abuse, and getting into/out of, legal trouble.
      He has some very unique voicings and speedy runs. My favorite thing to hear Eric do, is sitting in with other musicians, or his band playing having other songwriter/guitarists with them.
      Gales will add his stuff to the music of others, and often I really think it would’ve been a better song if he’d played on it.
      This is a recurring theme, with many guitarists, who aren’t famous for a specific song or album, but more for how they play, and the performances they put on.

    Always floored by how Eric plays a right-handed guitar left-handed AND strung upside down. Yeah, Jimmy did the flip thing but he also flipped the string order to match his left-handed play. This kat keeps the right-handed string order!!! And we're not even talking yet about his ridiculous guitar skills and impeccable artistry. In a word, folks, DAMN! I am right handed and bought a left-handed white Strat just to further appreciate Eric. He's da boss!!

    Playing the strings upside down like that always blows my mind, Gales is just on another level.

    Eric is a living legend, no doubt. I think DVMark is off of guitarist radar, but they have great gear for guitar and bass. I use their ultralight 27lb 2x12 which takes 150w/ch stereo with my Kemper and I love it.

    • @JosePineda-jn8jk
      @JosePineda-jn8jk Год назад

      Totally true, I got one of their Neoclassic 1x12 cabs for $199 on a flash sale and I am extremely happy I impulse bought it.
      At that price I wasn’t really expecting much in terms of sound quality, and even the construction is better than I expected. It has a very flat response so my HX Stomp and power amp work really well though the unit and jeez is it light!
