1:47 drops the pick, doesn't panic and doesn't miss a beat. This dude is talent beyond words!

[@jc-rw2wq]

tiene el porta pua en el pie del microfono, sin duda tiene varias de repuesto, de hecho golpea el pie del microfono al extraer la pua de repuesto tanto que penso que lo tiraba porque se apresura en sostenerlo......

[@BurgerGrabber]

actually kinda sounded good with a little musical pause there lol

[@porkbelly0713]

yeah he is good at recovering quickly. He was playing the national anthem many years ago at the FedX Forum in Memphis for a Grizzlies game and accidentally pulled the cord out of the amp. He turned around plugged back in and never missed a single note

[@andrewoverhere8525]

On the behalf of the City of Dallas...I’m sorry the crowd was WACK!!! I would’ve lost my ever loving mind!!!

Eric Gales is a beast, to bad the crowd sucked!!!

[@tavliberty7564]

I just saw him for the first time last night and he blew my mind. I’ve never seen such an amazing talent in my life. Simply amazing

[@footballadvait]

Man!...he just takes off to such an exhilerating zone and just... WOW!

[@TruthSurge]

the end... he's shaking his head no. these old white crackahs aint yellin or NUFFIN! Eric is well-known among guitarists but not as much outside that I think He brings it every time.

[@90jovindwebb]

Safe to say he is the new Hendrix

[@youngreddprotx]

Man...at 7:09 when he picks up that can plays while drinking...lol. Nice!!!

[@90jovindwebb]

That’s when I lost it with the can

Southpaw strung gitfiddle. Jimi was a lefty but still used same chord shapes with a fat E at the top of the down pick. Eric's low E is at the bottom

Eric Gales is very underrated.

[@mbw4359]

cuz he's black and he's playing rock basically. These folks these days like that crazy ass RAP. They don't want hear no real music! Get all his albums you not be disappointed. He's go 3 other albums ( 2 with PGP ) and ( The Eric Gales Trio - Ghost Notes )

[@DCSD1417]

He's got his brass note on Beale Street. That's huge.

[@wmdoux2108]

Sadly not well known, not underrated.

[@pippo9830]

​@mbw4359 because is black? So why are BB King or Miles Davis (just to name a few) so famous? Skin colour doesn't have anything to do with it.

[@ironjamesflint]

He's still underrated. 4 years later.

[@BoomerBends]

Just amazing how Eric bares his entire soul during his performances. Boy is EPIC! And how about that incredible articulation on those ridiculously fast pentatonic runs on an acoustic?!

[@Fortchful]

He glides and floats effortlessly on every note, I can gladly call him a Guitar 🎸 Maestro ❤

[@ufcfan3940]

He’s a phenom

[@jimday233]

This guy does some amazing runs...

[@ericdavis840]

[@jimday233]

[@Psychicpanda-rz5df]

REMOVE. THE. FUCKING. AD.

[@yvonnelaurenty6427]

So good he should just play that blues that is so deep it grabs you entirely. No backup singers, no drinking water, no playing g to the corny crowd. Just play man. That's absolutely enough.

[@arsenalius6855]

I think Eric is one of the greatest guitar players of the modern time. ["Jimi Henrix of XXIst century" 😊👍👍👍🎸🎼🎼🎼]

[@RicardoAlves-pj1ru]

He's been there bro. Just gotta dig deep and look. I've had the pleasure of seeing him in concert twice. Every time he is near my area I will go.

[@altowatts1325]

Eric is singing and playing through his joy and his pain. And how many times have you heard someone who plays an electric guitar 🎸 insanely good but then that same player plays an acoustic guitar and they sound bland and basic. E.G. is one of the few that sounds GREAT on both electric and acoustic guitars.

[@mast0ritti]

Well...that's how it is done.

[@crimsontyger8576]

If only he could learn not to anchor his fingers to the pickguard then his technique would be lots better...lol.

[@Jeff4014]

You don't know what you are saying sir, Eric Gales said a thousand times that he anchors his fingers because unlike the nornal guitar players, playing upsidedown allows you to anchor your fingers because there aren't knobs, and he said thounsand times that since he was a child he had problems with his wrist and he had to learn to move only his index and thumb together and not the wrist You cant impose your technique to a pearson who plays upsidedown because his world and technique will be always different ...so dont that anchoring his fingers is wrong for him

[@crimsontyger8576]

@@Jeff4014 I hope you didn't spend too much time replying to me as I was saying it in jest.
