To be able to play the strings upside down is incredibly jaw dropping! He is pure talent on that Stratocaster!!! Hell, I'm a lefty and in my first year of playing I did the same thing as I couldn't afford my own guitar so I played a right handed guitar too. After 3-years of that I finally changed the strings for a regular LEFTY. It sucked so bad having to re-learn everything, my world basically almost fell apart. Then I started to finally get it all back again... But no way in hell can I play like Eric, I mean this dude is scary good!!!!!
Hahaha Gales sure can play, and he exudes so much joy! Props also to LaDonna Gales and the rest of the band as well. The bass sounded really good in this. Oh, and thanks to That's Live TV for posting this and so much more incredible stuff
Damn! His chords and licks are not even known in the musical world! Playing upside down and backwards just allows him to do things that others just can't duplicate...wait..who else that we all know could do these things? Uh Jimi!! We are blessed in 2022 to be privileged to experience the talent of this phenomenal musician!
Aside from the fact that this man is brilliant, he makes it relatively easy for right-handed players to follow along. All we have to do is turn our laptops upside down, or flip the entire screen in said fashion.
Yeah, Man. You are the first in many years that made me smile again for the Blues that is very much alive in your heart and soul, and I got goose bumps. I LOVE the way you infused the arabic scale about 3/4 the way in. Just amazing. The chord voicings are unexpected and really appreciated by someone (me) who has been playing for 58 years. Your playing NEVER gets old. I hear the nuances in your voice too. I wish I was the pope of the music industry. You would be the new Messiah. Peace, Bro. Everyone in your band kicked ASS, too!
Watch all you can find. This guy is untouchable because he plays upside down and backwards. Impossible to pay his licks the way he does unless you play with little strings on top, big ones on bottom. Jimi was a lefty and played a right handed guitar but strung it normally. Eric is on a very short list of folks who do this and stands apart in a class of one playing wise.
Eric Gales,, never heard of him before now, but henseforth I am a fan, capital letters a FAN!! Playing a right handed, left. I wonder if the strings are upside down? [edit] Daymn,, did a zoom in and YES, they're upside down.. His playing is most unique, they can't teach that and he wonderful!
@@sandragriffiths9692 guys like Eric Clapton refused to give Gales a space in the spotlight, glad Bonamassa did... but even then, I will not brush over the fact Bonamassa took too damn long to do it... it must be scary to play with a guy like this... well, scary for insecure guys, because Andy Timmons never refused to play with him... Lions packs together I guess
FeelingShred Thank you for the info, we don't always know what goes on behind the scenes, but I thought JB tried to promote the blues and spotlighted other amazing guitarists at the same time, but I guess there is more to it than that. Love JB and his amazing backing band and singers, respect to them, he wouldn't sound half as good without them.......and he probably knows it😚 respect to you too👌👍
He puts on a show ! Seen him at "My Father's Place" Roslyn NY Same named club ( down the block ) that I saw Roy Buchanan, Johnny Winter, Muddy Waters and many more … keep the small blues clubs ALIVE !!
You know after SRV passed, and nobody came along to even make a spark at his ability, Well I got to thinking. Maybe that word "Hope" is a downright lie, and a "Myth" 2 boot....until tonite, for I have witnessed the veil being lifted..Eric Gales has the ability and charisma to continue on , where Stevie left off, Finally...Good Luck Eric, you are the chosen one in my book....☆"ALL☆HAIL☆ ERIC ☆GALES"☆
yep, Eric is totally badass. He has a new release coming out end of 2021, and produced by Joe Bonamassa. Joe has called him the best guitarist on the planet, I concur. Joe will guest on a few of the songs as well
@@jsamc she sang backing vocals in past tours, they're just trying something different, calm down guys... but I agree that if they keep making her presence bigger than it needs to be it will rub everyone the wrong way, indeed... just don't overdoit...
@@FeelingShred Gosh I did not know it was his wife. At least she ain't covering herself in a blanket and cackling like a cat in heat LOL !! Glad to see him touring with his old lady !!
@@jsamc You don't need to apologize, or even the other guy up there who made the question first. We need skeptical people like you to make the questions and call up for the bullshit. Now, when people just ignore the problems or when artists only surround themselves with "Yes Men", that's when the problems start.

Man his rhythm section is so tight it allows him all the freedom to express himself so beautifully.
If you don’t like this we can’t be friends.
Snob
we can be best friends
A league of his own
He’s an absolute genius
Best dynamics in the business
This makes me tear up.... God Bless this man.
I just love his style, his mojo, his humility. So glad to see him turn his life around and head for the stars. Go get 'em Eric. Phenomenal talent.
A legend
One of the most creative and talented guitarist these days. Love you Eric! You are a killer man!
To be able to play the strings upside down is incredibly jaw dropping!

I know nothing about his life but I do know he kept me out of trouble for 5:50. I love this dude!
Incredibly talented versatile musician with charisma ☮️

Eric Gales is a damn freak of nature!!! And that bass player though!! Damn!!
Damn! His chords and licks are not even known in the musical world! Playing upside down and backwards just allows him to do things that others just can't duplicate...wait..who else that we all know could do these things?
Uh Jimi!! We are blessed in 2022 to be privileged to experience the talent of this phenomenal musician!
Hendrix strung the guitar normally so he wasn’t truly playing upside down like EG.
Eric is awesome, but sorry... these licks and the most chords are very well known in the blues and jazz guitar world. There´re played for decades.
I am a Hendrix, SRV, Prince, Freddie King among other guitarplayers follower. This genius is among those geniuses.
The endless transitions and endless streams of creativity coming out this guy is UNREAL!!!
beautifull guitar....... none o this roadworn fender piece o sheeyatt..... great entertainer.. .. .superb player
IMO, he's one of the only newer blues guitarists that have chops while maintaining mojo. Never feels sterile, and he takes chances
hes new but hes been in the game at a high enough level for long enough that SRV gave him props in person when he was a kid
Aside from the fact that this man is brilliant, he makes it relatively easy for right-handed players to follow along. All we have to do is turn our laptops upside down, or flip the entire screen in said fashion.
his guitar technic... will teach us for many future generations to come :)
the bass playing is really great, I love it !!!
Yeah for sure sharp and Dynamic.. whole thing is killer but yeah the Bass is goin OFF

Best Guitarist around
i never really comment but feel obliged to on this because it's just a surreal display of the blues. wow
One of the best hands down
Loved the EVH ending , true legend gg.
He’s just full of joy playing…
I just happen to run across this video by chance, this dude is GOOD, hats off to the band

Great to see this ;-)
Them people were shell shocked and didnt know what or how to take all that guitar heat, all that in yo face guitar pressure !!
The baddest MF in the business...and it ain't close...
Eric is talented and humble.

STRAT TONE!!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dallas has a really Dry Ass Crowd! Go Eric Lay Down them Blues👀🎸🎼
Goo Gueule Mele That could be🙋🏽♀️
What a player. Has this real old school feeling, something of a mix of Stevie Ray and maybe Lightnin Hopkins, BB King... God bless!
Some van halen in the end. He is a good mixer.
"dang, our keyboard-player is stuck in traffic!"
Bassist: "no problem, dude. i got you!"
That fuckin bass is giving me the fizz,
That's my nephew Byron on bass guitar..

LaDonna is a class act. She's a beautiful, talented, intelligent and kind women who just happened to have saved both Eric's life and career!
Has runs like Zakk Wylde 🤘😃
So, I've been playing the guitar the wrong way all this years
😂 That is Eddie Hazel's solo from Parliament Funkadelic
Is the bass player blind..He really is on the bassline

black God
Has nobody seen that he is playing with a dollar ???
the sound guy should've turned up a guitar a bit...It's Eric and it sounds like he is around the corner, what's up with that?...

Weak crowd.
They can't feel the Blues !!
I’ll bet Eric Gail’s could pick some mean chicken pickin country if he so desired
Oh geez. I quit.
A seemingly all white audience! That has to be disconcerting .
That’s who goes to blues shows. Middle aged white guys.....
@@Motomaniac99 you right
Why 2 drummers ? They should be fired now !
