Eric Gales' six favorite Eric Gales riffs

[@Nocturnal_Sun1999]

Protect this man at all cost. He's a national treasure!

[@69nukeee]

So cool he played the legendary riffs from 'Sign of the Storm', such an amazing tune from one of the best ever guitar players

[@JoseGarcia-eadgbe]

🤘🏼🦅💫🎸🎶🎵🎶🌀🔥

[@anthonyjones2153]

Yeah older material for folks that checked in to his back catalog 👍🏽😎

[@BigGizmo80]

SotS still goes so hard!! Such mighty riffage!

[@Bodyknowledge77]

That was a pleasant taste of some great guitar play!

[@jimmyfrombrooklyn8550]

Super talented player and performer, doesn’t get nearly enough recognition

[@maxrico6660]

It was an amazing experience opening for EG. Hope to do again sometime. Great player and great guy!

[@damianfanelli9150]

This one was shot when Gales was in town (NYC) playing a couple of shows at the Blue Note with MonoNeon earlier this month.

[@macarius8802]

Bro, Sign of the Storm. Still such a great tune!

[@gregmize01]

Monster player/writer/singer!!!!

[@chrisr4740]

Im proud to be a lefty, aswell been playing upside down strats for 35 years, its just the coolest thing ever. Hendrix and eric made me do it. No other guitar comes close .

[@billyghostal]

do you keep righty stringing tho? thats just crazy

[@chrisr4740]

@@billyghostal i did for 3 years then i took lessons and my teachers flipped them or he wouldn't teach me. Glad he did because i wouldn't of been able to play the yngwie, vai and satch stuff in the 80s.

[@WickBeavers]

Yoweee! Just that first one is a burner! Thanks!

Beautiful

I met Eric at an outdoor show at "Auditorium Shores" in Austin, just after his first album release. Been following him his whole career.

[@benmartin5417]

Saw him in my hometown of Nottingham UK. Absolutely sensational gig. One of my favourite musicians.

[@UphillGardener-ly5sh]

I saw him at a tiny club in York, and about two weeks later I saw Marcus King at your place, June was a good month :o)

[@nelsonhibbert5267]

I wonder if he also played at Glory Holes......

[@birdsfabulous]

Its crazy looking at his right hand...it looks so much different than almost any other player due to the strings upside down and all...patterns/chords...crazy. Albert King strung the same way of course but his style was soo much different you can still recognize it as guitar playing...Gales is great

[@Mike_D_5150]

I think it comes from gospel. Some of those guys can pick super fast. George Benson, I think, does this, too.

[@ufcfan3940]

Awesome love Eric

[@outermarker5801]

I am endlessly fascinated by left handed/high side up guitar and bass players. I wonder if there are advantages in the fretting hand especially. Monster musician, got it all!

[@endlessgrind6951]

That guitar is beautiful

[@MarcoDomingos220]

Gales is a BEAST!!

[@elevenAD]

not surprised, he has always been the funkiest bluesman i ever heard! Badass!

[@Dima_Guitar]

My favorite riff of Eric's is in the song Too Late to Cry. And the middle part of the song

[@djfusion2808]

Eric Gales band first album was super formative for me as a young guitarist at the time. I always felt like he should be more popular than he is.

[@Mooseboy08]

This guy! I would so very willingly steal these licks, but it’s just so weird watching them being played upside down 😂

[@festivalexpress8505]

what a player!

[@kiimbel1877]

FIRST TWO ALBUMS R SUPER DOPE!!!!

[@zezuntxiduntxi]

Love him ❤❤

[@anonamos8129]

A true artist. Original.

[@TeoPamfiko]

And after all, it's not Hendrix, turn on your ears! Eric has his own signature sound and style!✌️😎😎😎

[@bull419]

No bro it's not Hendrix that's for sure.

[@DanielDavisDeepDive]

this man is one of the very best... VERY BEST.

[@janaka4333]

Your the next buddy guy 🎸✝️

[@souleylamebah9092]

Greaat man!!!!!

[@kiddynamite2700]

Dudes unreal

[@vinsanityguitar]

The closest thing to Hendrix in our lifetime. Not musically but creatively.

[@joeguyton5365]

What the hell does that mean

[@bull419]

Nope. !

[@Yourbankaccount]

Some of these riffs sound A LOT like Hendrix

[@mesa290]

Most underrated guitarist ever a real Genius not to mention a cool dude too

[@JasonLehto-x4r]

This is Jimi.

[@JoseGarcia-eadgbe]

💫🤘🏼🎸🎵🎶🎵💪🌀🦅

[@GetOutsideYourself]

Is "Crown" about his teeth?

[@tanktuba]

This guy absolutely smokes on guitar and you comment on his appearance? What an asinine comment.

[@andypollow]

He looks like a boxer if he was a dog.

[@Joe-eu3cu]

Gates Is a incredible guitarist, Hendrix style, great 👍👍👍👍👍
