Say what you will about "Hendrix clone" I say NO Way! This guy is an original!! I'm glad to see him "doing better" and keeping his guitar at the forefront of his life. This guy is Eric Gales. He's great, and there is no other. Keep pushing the envelope Eric!!!
Agreed ! Eric's literally in a completely different room, class, classroom than most people who pick up the guitar & there's not alotta people in that class to begin with but what makes him so damn special is that he's a helluva good guy with or without his guitar... Happy for him because he's put in the time & all that hard work has paid off...
TemplarGuitar absolutely agree with you 200%. In my opinion he’s at a much higher skill level than Hendrix achieved.. Actually, I know his playing is cleaner and he’s definitely more comfortable than Hendrix ever was... in saying that.... if Jimi wouldn’t have destroyed himself..... who knows .. rock on Eric
Saw Eric and the band 30/3/2022 in Bilston, England. Absolutely brilliant. Eric can play all styles and he sure ain’t nobody’s clone. Just a fantastic guitar player and warm human being. Play on Eric.
One of the most devastating live expressions I've seen in recent times... what a timbre and phrasing is that from 1:12 to 1:38... feeling awesome! It's unique!
First day hearing of this guitarist, what a talent. This guy can flat out play. I found myself fascinated on how he created some of those sounds. Musicianship is alive and well.
I had the awesome privilege of being part of the opening act for The Eric Gales Band in Whitesburg Kentucky back about two years ago. As a local no name bluesy guitarist it was truly an honor. After the show he signed my strat on the front and on the back plate. Super cool dude, very polite and respectful. I got to see his rig up close as it was already set up when we took the stage for sound check. When he started playing it was like an earthquake. Cranked to the max but it was so clear. He is something to see. And his full band is as good as it gets.
I don’t think people relize that not only is it a right hand guitar flipped over he is still playing it with the strings right handed. If you look the low E is on the bottom. He learned the notes backwards. Pretty damn impressive.
The reality is that when you play the guitar the "correct" way you actually have to learn to read the Guitar Tabs upside down. He's actually playing the guitar as you would read the Guitar Tabs. With the E at the bottom and the e at the top. So mayhaps we're the one learning it backwards. So that's pretty darn impressive of us if I do say so myself...
People rip on this guy and I’m not sure why. He’s an absolutely incredible guitar player. So what if he’s got Hendrix vibes. A true self respecting guitar play aspires to be like Hendrix. Keyword “aspires”. No one person can be a Hendrix clone. The only man to come even close is Stevie Ray Vaughan and even he is considered to be the white Hendrix. Guitar players, be you. If you wanna play or sound like the Hendrix style, go for it. The world needs more music like that anyway. Shred till you’re dead!
Eric, don't know if you read these comments on posts from other folks but that Sir was a Work of Art! Been playing 40 years this year and hearing and watching this was truly inspirational!
It doesn't matter that the Guitar is right handed with a left handed player playing it, or vise versa. Or a blind man playing the Guitar. People adapt, and feel the instrument after a while. The Key of A remains the same, or any for that matter. I just think this dude really feels the instrument. You can hear it.
+Brandon Jefferson maybe at copying people. and I know he does some original stuff, or used to with his brothers, but then he goes right back to "interpreting" hendrix, Eric johnson, etc.
ANYONE saying he is Hendrix clone has ZERO clue about guitar playing. This guy in so genuinely talented its INSANE. His rig had nothing to do with that sweet tone, his fingers are his rig... SiCK!!
I play exactly the same string configuration as this man. Lefty strung righty great work👍👍very few of us on this planet who play guitar this way..great. Job
This dude has been twisting my brain. I was trying to figure out wtf his fingers were doing, I never realized his guitar was literally upside down. Figured he just re-strung it like Hendrix.
Man Eric can riff the same exact way a keyboard player or a saxophone player can. Just endless, never ending runs. It’s like he has two hands on the fret board. Absolutely love this guys style. Everything is so clean and crisp too. That Two Rock sounds so good but Eric could probably play a Fender Frontman15 and still sound as good.
Say what you will about "Hendrix clone" I say NO Way! This guy is an original!! I'm glad to see him "doing better" and keeping his guitar at the forefront of his life. This guy is Eric Gales. He's great, and there is no other. Keep pushing the envelope Eric!!!
Right. No hendrix clone, simply Eric Gales. True genius. One of the best guitarists ever!
TemplarGuitar yea, nobody sounds like Eric Gales. He has a style all his own. One of the best in the business
Definitely. He can play licks I will never be able to play, because apparently I play upside down:)

My first time hearing this absolute genius. Never heard anyone like him. I'm beyond impressed. What a player!
You can definitely hear the eric johnson infuence... heavily. Good stuff.
There's a lot going on inside this man's head....and its all beautiful. Bravo EG!!
my jaw is dropped every time i watch gales shred it up. he is one of the best blues players alive
Dang, he makes that guitar do things even the guitar itself didn’t know it could do!
There's more feeling in one of his fingers than in thousands so-called new wave of guitar heroes..Eric is amazing!!!!
Iv just found out about Eric , have a feeling I will like him . Just bought tickets to see him on Glasgow in April 🎸
True Alessandro! 🎸💎🔝✨🎉

Yes Demetrius! 💯🎸🌷
That section reminds me of the control at low volume B.B. King had. In fact, this might be the closest I've ever heard to B.B.
@@SpizawkDaKizowz Other than the fact that Eric Gales plays more notes in one song than BB King played in his entire life.
That screaming bend he goes into at 2:43 gives me chills every time. The man's got godlike vibrato.
Same
Wooooo I just got it!!!
Mr Gales is seriously talented. Great job.
Killer! Especially live!!!!
One of the greatest living guitarists. Unreal talent.
this guy is just unbelievable, incredible, i can't even explain it. he is that good.
I love Eric. He is one of those musicians who does struggle to be brilliant he is so accomplished it flies from him naturally. And he enjoys all
Holy cow.. can't believe I just found this.. literally had me in tears.. Eric Gales!!

Really impressive chops + phrasing
Two awesome tracks covered with a unique originality. Eric’s playing is amazing
Epic Eric! That was some incredible playing, and with great feel and TONE!
He's got the Magic 🙏
I think I have a new favourite guitarist!!!
Eric Gales is a force to be reckoned with!
Shoutout to all band member aka the glue the sound and the synchronization
a lot of listening going on here. rhythm section is glued tight to his free improvisation. so good.
Damn he can play !!
That's so BIG! Thank you, mr Gales. I started believing that name Eric means something else. Eric Gales, Eric Clapton, Eric Johnson, among others.
I don’t think people relize that not only is it a right hand guitar flipped over he is still playing it with the strings right handed. If you look the low E is on the bottom. He learned the notes backwards. Pretty damn impressive.
Albert King & Dick Dale nod in approval!

So mayhaps we're the one learning it backwards. So that's pretty darn impressive of us if I do say so myself...
To me, this is a religious experience. Love you, Eric!
Wow! That is saying a lot!!!!
Eric Gales ad Cody! I know they are amazing blues players, but it's the metal I love! Eric could rip the atmosphere away with his scorching cords!
This dude is sick
Seem Eric several times - incredible talent - has potential to be one of the best of all times -
JIMI HENDRIX!!! IS SMILING DOWN FROM HEAVEN
, ERIC GALES, OMG!!! JIMI LOVE'S YOU, AND SO DO WE!!
Carlos Santana spoke about Eric Glales, when Eric was 15 Years old. super talent... make a regular note sound like a master pice :)

Shred till you’re dead!
The drummer slayed this joint! Wow good shit
Those are MONSTERS! All of them!
How did I just find out about this dude this year? He has been in and out of the spotlight since the 90s
Same here, just found him today and I can't stop watching.
Yeah, some of his earlier recordings are amazing, check out this Beatles cover for example ruclips.net/video/C6DDORbUIjM/видео.html
Just found out today holy crap I've missed out. That TONE!!
Feeling, timing, brilliant improvisation. He's got class :)
Beautiful .... omg I am still smiling...
Eric is something more than just special, he's definitely extraordinary. I love his playing as his interpretations of other great music.
Eric, don't know if you read these comments on posts from other folks but that Sir was a Work of Art! Been playing 40 years this year and hearing and watching this was truly inspirational!
OMYGOD , that solo at 2:43 ... goosebumps.
That shit is amazing!!
Incredible….is only the beginning!!
Raw Talent...This can't be taught...all natural....Wonderful
That was great

This is what America is all about.........Excellent!
Insanely good, kudos to everyone in this band!
Genius, just pure genius. Always paying homage tot he original but uniquely Eric Gales!!!
It doesn't matter that the Guitar is right handed with a left handed player playing it, or vise versa. Or a blind man playing the Guitar. People adapt, and feel the instrument after a while. The Key of A remains the same, or any for that matter. I just think this dude really feels the instrument. You can hear it.
First heard the Gales bros Left Hand Brand many years ago. Crazy song right. Love his style
Eric Gales is one of the greatest guitarists of ALL TIME !!!
He's right there with Jimi
show me a video were hendrix plays hot licks?? cuz ive never seen it!! gales is way above!!
+Brandon Jefferson you need to put the pipe down.
dezionlion lol u need to put the pipe down cuz your imagining things..gales is far ahead
+Brandon Jefferson maybe at copying people. and I know he does some original stuff, or used to with his brothers, but then he goes right back to "interpreting" hendrix, Eric johnson, etc.
Don't leave out Eddie hazel from parliament funkadelic another very good but under rated guitarist
ANYONE saying he is Hendrix clone has ZERO clue about guitar playing. This guy in so genuinely talented its INSANE. His rig had nothing to do with that sweet tone, his fingers are his rig... SiCK!!
I saw Eric Gales for the first time at a Halloween benefit in about 1993/1994 in Nashville. Amazing show. Glad he is still playing despite everything.
