I never knew how good he was until I saw a jam with Tim Henson and Tosin Abasi and no one knew their way around a 12 bar blues. All the sudden Eric went from a Giant to a planet to me lol. Hes so good
Mr. Bohlinger is not only one fine musician himself, but he has to be the best music interviewer on RUclips. Eric Gales's talent and personality come through so well here. Never met him, but I feel as though I have after this. Always a pleasure!
I met Eric at one of his shows in Detroit. What an absolutely wonderful gentleman. Despite giving his all during the show he still met with everyone that wanted to say hello. He's a gem of a person and a fabulous musician. rock on.
Every human on Earth needs to see Eric Gales in concert at least once during their life. There’s no way to describe what this will do to you. Their lives will ALL be changed for the good. God Bless TeamEG wherever they go.
Eric is a wonderful human and incredible talent. We've watched his growth from hard times and are so happy to see the success he deserves, which hasn't gone to his head one bit! 👍❤
❤❤👍👍👍Wir lieben Dich Eric und freuen uns für Dich das Du die Anerkennung und Erfolg hast was Du schon lange verdient hast. Good Health to you and long live
Supremely talented guy. My wife and I sat with him and his wife after a show in Buffalo a few years back. Truly nice genuine folks and a pleasure to be with. Awesome!
It is probably a “crime” that not more people, outside of the usual guitar lore crowds, know about the incredible talent Eric is and has been thru his career. Thankfully more people are taking notice specially since so many more established artists want to collaborate with him.
So crazy to see this pop up today because I just saw Eric in Chattanooga last night!!! He's not only a monster player, like Jimi and SRV rolled up into one, but also one of the coolest and most humble dudes you'll ever meet. Being able to see him play an intimate show in front of just a hundred or so people was absolutely mind-blowing.
Well done Eric Gales.Why is it that whenever the great man Jimi Hendrix is mentioned SRV's name pop's up. G.T.F.O.H and leave Jimi alone. RIP Jimi Hendrix 'The one and only.
Eric Gales is such a great musician 🎸 I love that his pedal board is so modest. When you're that talented a guitar player you don't need all the latest boutique toys.
I saw Eric in Stuart Florida....great shows...i was struck by how "clean" his sound was compared to other great blues players I've seen...different styles but Eric gales clean just hits you.....
John is such a great host: great questions, great attitude, especially for all he's been through...John Bohlinger for President!! Lol Love the Rundowns 😊
Two great guitarist...but MOST IMPORTANT... TWO GREAT PEOPLE. I can relate to Eric struggles I have/had some of the same. To everyone reading this,use you guitar to HEAL YOURSELF AS WELL AS OTHERS. Love @ PREMIER GUITAR
Got to see Gales play a small, unadvertised gig at a small club on my birthday. There were maybe 100 people in the whole place. Got to meet him after the show. He's a really down to earth, humble guy. What a great birthday present!! If you get a chance to see EG play live, do it. He is truly a gifted musician and a just a darn good person on top of it.
G’day to John,Eric and the team at Premier Guitar from your fans from Australia! Thank you to John,Eric and the team at Premier Guitar who decided to release this rig rundown a week before the blues fest in Byron bay Australia! I saw Eric at Blues fest for the first time back in 2018 and he blowed the roof off the stage! Needless to say his gig was one of the best ones that I had ever had the great fortune of being apart of! I am thrilled and can’t wait to see Eric again at Blues fest this week and thank you again for the great rundown!
So I have a friend that plays like Eric but a left handed flipped right not restrung it’s one of the most amazing things to see when someone can play guitar upside down better than most people play one regular
Watching Erics's upsidedown left hand technique has made my rightsideup trad. right hand technique more interesting. He's a true guitar hero in every sense. Blessings to Eric and his family.
Eric is the most humble most kind person you will ever meet he could brag and talk shit just cuz he’s fuxking amazing and from mars and raised in Memphis just a great player and a greater person glad to call him a friend
Saw the band in Nov 22. Room only held about 300 ppl. Met with anyone and everyone that wanted to chat after the show. Shared some similar experiences and took a photo w me. He’s a good fucking dude!
Ive been a tube head for years...DrZ, Matchless, Badcat...Ive owned and loved em but I recently went to the Eric Gales RD head and was floored. Now I run two of the 60 watt in stereo....DV mark rocks... And EG is the man!
Saw Eric and his wife play a concert last year in Stuart Fl. at the Lyric Theater. Was incredible. What a guitar player and he’s very open about his life and trials and successes. Great guy. Very underrated.
I believe that Eric Gales play his guitar the way my idol Dick Dale did right when he (Dick Dale) first met Leo Fender back in 1954. He flipped the Fender Stratocaster and play it left-handed without restringing it. Despite he plays modern music and recently gets his own signature Magneto, but I think that it will be even better if Eric is inspired by the King of Surf Guitar himself and of course, Jimi Hendrix. Wish Mr. Eric Gales all the best, from Vietnam.
I was a roadie for (what turned out to be) Dick Dale’s final tour. At one point I showed him a video of Eric playing his guitar the same way, lefty and upside-down. He had to really zoom in to believe what I was telling him. I don’t think he saw many people ever play that way in all his life. So, if Eric was ever inspired by Dick Dale then you can tell him that he got to impress Dick Dale before he left the planet. 🤙🏻 (And Dick didn’t really give a shit about other guitar players. - Glen Campbell, perhaps, but don’t quote me on that)

And saw him not and seen him. I have seen him. Seen needs a helping verb.
I’ve met him twice and seen him cry on stage about how much he loves his wife. One of his shows was the last day of my honeymoon. What an inspiration
I never knew how good he was until I saw a jam with Tim Henson and Tosin Abasi and no one knew their way around a 12 bar blues. All the sudden Eric went from a Giant to a planet to me lol. Hes so good
Can’t wait for round two. Absolutely love the Eric Gales and Joe Bonamassa collaboration. Two of my favorite guitarists 🎸🎸🎶
He's such a great dude, a guitar heavyweight champion indeed
🙌 ❤
@@buckbreaker5185 Henson and Abasi: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN A SIMPLE RHYTHM!?"
His signature amp says it all. He is SUCH a down to earth, unpretentious, prodigiously talented dude. Much respect.
That amp is so amazing, I own two of them!
Mr. Bohlinger is not only one fine musician himself, but he has to be the best music interviewer on RUclips. Eric Gales's talent and personality come through so well here. Never met him, but I feel as though I have after this. Always a pleasure!
Yep, he is a great content host.
He's the best on planet earth... so much empathy...

Supremely talented guy. My wife and I sat with him and his wife after a show in Buffalo a few years back. Truly nice genuine folks and a pleasure to be with. Awesome!
His tone is so good.
Eric Gales and Bohlinger, It don't get any better
John is a national treasure. Eric is the King!
John is such a great interviewer. Super laid back and chill.
It is probably a “crime” that not more people, outside of the usual guitar lore crowds, know about the incredible talent Eric is and has been thru his career. Thankfully more people are taking notice specially since so many more established artists want to collaborate with him.
Eric is one of the best EVER...

I love this guy. He is beautiful musician in all senses.
Eric's playing is somehow both very precise and very emotional. Amazing artist.
Eric Gales is a really friendly and talented guitarist . Thank you John . 🔥🎸🔥🇺🇸☮️✨✨✨✨

Those "Dunlap" pedals are actually pretty rare! 🤣🤪
He has Really got the Tone AND the Feel ! And the FIRE
Man!!! Not just an iconic guitarist , but seems to be a genuine cool guy too. That's awesome!!!
Eric Gales is a treasure, such a good person and absolutely phenomenal musician.
Fender hands out signature guitars all day long. Eric should’ve had one years ago. Well Magnetico knew he deserved one.
Got to see Gales play a small, unadvertised gig at a small club on my birthday. There were maybe 100 people in the whole place. Got to meet him after the show. He's a really down to earth, humble guy. What a great birthday present!! If you get a chance to see EG play live, do it. He is truly a gifted musician and a just a darn good person on top of it.
That's the MAN!
Eric Gales is THE TRUTH.
The new GOAT. Gales is the best

So I have a friend that plays like Eric but a left handed flipped right not restrung it’s one of the most amazing things to see when someone can play guitar upside down better than most people play one regular
Yeah it is astounding. Doyle Bramhall Jr and Albert King did.Albert is quite influential to Jimi, Beck, SRV and Roy Buchanan among others..
Watching Erics's upsidedown left hand technique has made my rightsideup trad. right hand technique more interesting. He's a true guitar hero in every sense. Blessings to Eric and his family.
Whenever I see Eric Gales is in a video, I click on it. Such a great person and musician! Thanks PG!

this dude is a crack up! happy vibes, and big bloody hands! nice feel he has

Much respect to the man.
What a guy! Great player! He's the man!
Eric finally getting his accolades. Watching others jump right into the scene while he’s been here 30 yrs.
as soon as he hit that fuzz! love it!
Love this.
Eric’s music has been with me all through the COVID pandemic days.
3 years running…..
As a mid level guitarist now in my late 30's i really have enjoyed watching thia dude develop over the years. Had no idea he even played drums!
He's so much fun to watch!
Gales is golden! ❤
I was a roadie for (what turned out to be) Dick Dale’s final tour.
At one point I showed him a video of Eric playing his guitar the same way, lefty and upside-down.
He had to really zoom in to believe what I was telling him. I don’t think he saw many people ever play that way in all his life.
So, if Eric was ever inspired by Dick Dale then you can tell him that he got to impress Dick Dale before he left the planet. 🤙🏻
(And Dick didn’t really give a shit about other guitar players. - Glen Campbell, perhaps, but don’t quote me on that)
Two other guitarists who,play like that are John San Juan of Chicago’s Hushdrops and actor Rick Moranis.
Cool talent dudes
Raw Dawg!!!!!
