I'm 71 years old- Seeing this guy is on my bucket list......

[@emeryrushmo]

BroHam, 62, I hear ya!!!

[@adammurray9940]

This guy is incredible. Dude plays with every last bit of soul in his body. I will be your friend.

[@iggyfritz7150]

This Man is channeling the fire of the Holy Spirit through his fingers everytime I see this Man play I get lifted to a higher place if you're not moved by his playing your soul is dead. You definitely will get more than your money's worth seeing him play.

[@rebelneycha]

100% fact! Amen, Amen.

[@dannyllerenatv8635]

Watching and hearing this dude play is far more than just watching a performance, it's an entire religious experience. This dude plays and sings directly into the soul and not just the ears.

[@andreabertollini7432]

There are great guitar players.. there are legends and then there is the best Eric Gales..

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

HIs tone is warmer and more organic here than in the past. Nice.

[@dizzyscott1605]

Yooo !! Thanks for the shout out E!!! #dizzy #audioengineer #ericgales #grammynominated

[@TJJJJJJJJJJJ]

You slayed this brother and I’m only hearing it through a iphone recording ! In the room must have been crispy

[@raymondmaynard2438]

A. L OT of Emotional pain Telling us a story on guitar 🎸 you EG Are BRILLIANT you are a living legend 🌎 Class The world loves you. I hope America does and treasure you BIG 🥝 KIWIS FAN❤❤❤

[@hillrobinson9547]

That was absolutely a spiritual experience!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@The_Mindful_Mototorcyclist]

If you ever get a chance to see Eric live, make it happen! Eric gives so much more of himself in his playing and his music than any other artist I've personally seen live (and I've seen a lot!). Transcendental 🎸 🔥 🕉

[@doviejames]

Everyone commenting on EG's epic guitar and the whole band bringing this to a higher level, no doubt about that!!! But no one mentioning what the lyrics are explicitly about.... the ongoing plight of being black in racist America. Defund the racist cops, defund the pentagon, invest all that in community uplift, help people out who are in need, stop treating everyone like a suspect, give strangers the benefit of the doubt and smile at each and everyone you meet, let's go! Thank you Eric for this message.

[@lakervoxx597]

I need to go and have a lay down.... that's why it's okay to have a portrait of himself playing a guitar on the paint work of his guitar. Mind binding., face melting... WOW 🤯🤯🤯

[@terrylharris1249]

That damn tone is Ri-dam-diculous, hell everything about Eric is !! God reshaped Jimi's mode and said Eric take this and make it urs and dammit he did in spades!! The best and most scariest guitar breathing IMO!

[@miltoncosten2632]

If you ever get a chance to see him play live take it. Whether he is playing for 250 persons or 5000 he brings the heat. You can tell he is enjoying what he is doing and his heart and emotions are in every note.

[@kellyworsleigh5774]

Uh huh! I call it The Eric Gales Experience 😂

[@orangerecords_studio]

ohm y god ! this is insane......what an artist , guitars this guy has become........ I have no words, on of the best perfromer in the world .

[@johnlindsaygreen8547]

Deep song regarding ppl's prejudice and the social bias and injustice within America. Right On Eric...play on brother 💥🔥✊🏿🎶🎵🎼🎸

[@gregdugan9812]

I can't wait to see him in Baltimore on May 18th

[@marcusvolta6685]

Forget about all the deceptive and phony " award shows " and frankly countless undeserving so-called musicians on the scene. Mr. Eric Gales has been the TRUTH for a long time especially ever since I first heard of him in the nineties. Above and beyond Legendary.

[@raymondmaynard2438]

Yes to that

[@ricardoblues]

Um dos maiores músicos da atualidade. Sem a menor dúvida.

[@andew-wc5ly]

Thank God for you Mr. Gales, I needed that.

[@emeryrushmo]

Sound MANNNN!!!

[@79lemans]

Kickazz song Legendary. There are many great guitar players but your sound an style is just by it self,awesome an to me the best out there. God Bless you always.

[@royfornett3859]

A man coming from his own mastery of the instrument and lyrical/ vocal expression. Carlos saw it years ago when asked what young artist would be league as Hendrix. Now increase the amp dimension louder go to the soul.

[@stevetrivago]

Wow! Awesome video and audio… So grateful Eric is recovering ✊🏼💯 5 years or so has definitely changed this guitar hero .. 2023 I’m gonna see him.. That’s my only goal. lol

[@ShaneF7-fo6mg]

[@stephaniecianciotto7798]

I LOVE this guy!! BUT.. I am old. and I can listen to the guitar forever.. Segway to Stevie Tin Pan Alley

[@crazyguitar777]

Outstanding! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@davidaldridge9341]

Wow! Incredible!

[@Danuta628]

He is so good live ! I saw him live last month … I’m sorry to say I just discovered him recently- now knowing how long he’s been around - the music scene is so different today - less exposure to varied artists - with streaming - hence why I miss mtv days - MySpace days. Those forums enabled you to be plugged and connected

[@boomerangbandofficial7985]

Hendrix/Floyd vibe.Fantastic.

[@kennethmassey534]

👍🏼🎸🎸🎸🔥🌠🙏🏾🙏🏼🙏🏻🌅😎👑.... Brah' Man!......

[@ronnieminera7568]

La melodía es parecida a Comfortably Numb ,igual manera es increíble 🤟

[@waynefoote3781]

Are there 2 Eric Gales? I thought I saw another young guy with this kind of talent by the same name. i remember Eric Gale...Bob James guitar player also.

[@KIDALRIGHT]

This is the "Eric Gale" that played with Bob James ; R.I.P. - Eric Gale (September 20, 1938 - May 25, 1994) was an American jazz and R&B guitarist.

[@Will008]

What camera are you using?

[@KIDALRIGHT]

I am using the iPhone 14 Pro Max with 1 TB. I’m shooting in 4K at 30 FPS. This video only posted in 1080 HD, because my KZbin settings, were not set to Full Quality. Accordingly, I cannot repost this video in 4K, without losing the views. I also just shot Christone “Kingfish” Ingram and it posted in 4K.

Eric is the greatest !! Great audio / video . Fantastic song by THE KING ! Check out my EG on my channel .

[@christopherbako]

Just play guitar.

[@shable1436]

Eric is inventing a new type of sound, it's called gangster blues, or hip-hop blues if you feel it

[@timothybaumann7191]

I taught it was blazz or Jues 😂

[@dannyllerenatv8635]

There are flavors of hip-hop, RnB, Neo-Soul, Soul, and gospel in his music. His music and sound are so intense and just flat-out penetrates the soul. Cory Wong described listening to Eric Gales best, it's like a religious experience.

[@Beepbopboh]

It’s blues. I love his note selection…and I love how happy he is when he plays….I thought I was the happiest guitar player on earth but I’m not…it’s him. I’ll gladly be second ….

[@geoffreykennard5829]

There is a joyful place in Heaven for you sir! For all you have overcome and fullfilling the gift god gave you!!!! I feel this Im not a church goer Except for Choir as a boy) this came to me as i listened to this performance... You are One of a Kind! I see you on a higher spritual plane. I thank the Higher Power for the gifts you give us all.

[@chrisseger6420]

I think he is one of the most melodic guitarplayers out there today. I think that to be able to play fast slow and all between. And always in a melodic way. Distinguish a great guitarplayer as I see it.

[@johanponin1360]

like hendrix born in nusoul

[@Daddytang67]

@@johanponin1360 Truth.

[@dannyllerenatv8635]

This dude has practically created his own flavor of blues and has created his own chord voicings even. In a world with several great guitar players, it's truly impressive to stand out the way Eric Gales has. I love how he ads flavors of RnB, Gospel, Soul, and Neo-Soul to blues. It's masterful.

[@lucassmith1319]

Love me some Eric Gales the man is a living legend 💯💯

[@jukkasuomela3349]

He (and band) plays like serenity when he is singing about terrible shit. I think that is art.

[@koden24]

What a song!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@corrindion]

Just incredibly soulful!

[@drdave971]

Incredible 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸, very similar to Stevie Ray Vaughn ,, just playing with all emotions , extremely heartfelt , next level playing

[@zenlandzipline]

His licks are more taken from Eric Johnson than they are SRV
