[@old-manparker6153]

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! - Eric Gales is the greatest blues-rock-classical guitar player walking this earth.

[@TomFeelz]

unbelievable. the most entertaining 16 minutes from front to end. pure talent man.

[@gmlasam]

My mouth just dropped watching this cat play. God bless you Mr. Gales!

[@predalien922]

Why Eric Gales is soooo cool?!! those woooo Rocked me out! haha

[@4Bolter]

You're right EG, that IS a beautiful chord! Love your voicings…

[@MrNivaro34]

What is the beautiful chord at 14:46 ???

[@Hello_there_obi]

Love this guy! he's the full package haha. awesome feel, great showmanship and charisma, connects with the crowd and amazingly, unlike so many musicians, dresses well lol

[@Blackscorpion1963]

One of the funkiest awesome covers of this classic song from JH I have ever had the privilege to see and hear. To the Eric Gales Band, you sooo rock! Eric you Raw Dawg you, you are da best bro! And you better believe it too man, you are also sooo a c-h-i-l-d p-r-o-d-i-g-y ! Bestest bestest wishes to you 4evr. (New Zealand)

[@JackFossett]

Love listening to Eric play - what an awesome guitarist!

[@coffeewaldo]

Doug I have a teen Eric Gales first time on tv sitting in with the Arsenio Hall band. I was mesmerized back then. I believe the Eric Gales band then played paralyzed after.

[@Graiskye]

Really nice to see that Eric has managed to keep himself on the outside. Locking up a talent like this is the real crime in the first place, Cuz he liked to get high, who gives a fuck. Dude lays it down solid and wild like he always has. The man straight up has a bag of tricks that is really really deep. When he wasnts to make p[eopole jaws hit the floor he can do that, but he can also funk it the fuck up, and play beutiful melodies all in the same song. Keep ripping Eric, been a fan since the 90's when he played with his bro Eugene.

[@jibicusmaximus4827]

Graiskye great comment only 4 likes? i thought you put it very well mate!

[@kipanshi]

This performance is a bomb! Such amazing playing and groove.

[@bghse1]

The Erics absolutely....Killing it!

[@frabber321]

That was a blast!

[@sam127001]

dis dude is fantastic - skilled and soulful .

[@gerby90]

Holy shit, at 15:43!! That run would make Eric Johnson go for a notebook and pen! Also, that tone!!!

[@ArtemiTV]

Eric rocks, both of them actually.

[@Dirtydrock001]

Lol the dude screaming last night was hilarious great show eric

[@benwatson1969]

Im in tears. This is why i stop playing nah but he is great. The bassman is more than a beast. More like a bass god.

[@MrEJD]

So much respect for you man! Naturally gifted!

[@illicitgaines7972]

First time watching him....2 minutes later I realized my cheeks were getting sore, from smiling the minute he started playing.

[@AntunesJr]

God bless Eric ! Amen

[@PaxtonTrench]

pretty wicked groove. I find he's so unpredictable that it's refreshing. Also, I didn't notice he was playing upside down. I couldn't understand his weird chord shapes. Very interesting.

[@erikobarra1]

this is great, that bass player is fire.

[@humandroid53]

Crazy in all senses!

[@TomGledhillMusic]

mind blown.

[@MrBigdaddy7115]

MOST ENTERTAINING GUITAR PLAYER THERE IS

[@live4musiK777]

This is about as close to Jimi Hendrix as you're ever gonna get. I love this inverted guitar playing genious...great feel great sound and technically brilliant!

[@RSCL_BEATZ]

I could understand if you said that about Roy Buchanan or Robin Trower or Gary Moore or Jimmy Thackery but this guy?

[@sethrosenbloom]

Deltassippi Are you using your ears?! Eric Gales is one of the most incredible, soulful guitarists ever!

[@RSCL_BEATZ]

I will be honest; I hear what you said often and I try to understand how on earth this man could even remotely be compare to Hendrix outside of the white upside down strat. I have looked hard to find where the hype is!? Don't for a minute think I am comparing myself to him; clearly I cannot. To compare him to Hendrix seems silly. I have heard this guy detune his guitar while playing on stage; play out of time and finally at the beginning of a song have to start the song over because he messed it up. He played at "Woodstock" in what '92 (in over 20 years since then never seen him play with any of the greats except he played with Buddy guy once that I saw for one song) and he doesn't get hardly any reaction or draw from a Texas crowd who seem enamoured with their great guitarists? I can't get the math to work. Clearly by the list of names I dropped; I did have my ears on.

[@live4musiK777]

Hey it's all a matter of opinion. I'm not forcing it on anyone....but Eric Gales is technically very competent and a good songsmith. I just wanted other people to realise his talent with no disrespect to Jimi. I'm also an inverted guitar player (that's different to being simply left handed) and that's why I came across Eric Gales in the first place. I wasn't making a serious comparison but there are definitely huge similarities in style and Eric is clearly influenced by Hendrix. Peace and love and all that good happiness stuff bro!

[@sethrosenbloom]

Nah artistry like this isn't just a matter of opinion. Gales is THAT good.

[@ЛевПарицкий]

Всё просто охрененноооо1!!))) Ну, камера не туда смотрит иногда) но это даже какой-то необычности добавляет :D

[@lukeskywalk9773]

Great musicians! What an awesome bass player to have in your band :D

[@stan2211stan]

I'd like to hear the full-on Eric Gales version of "Giant Steps" I'd actually leave my job to see Eric play Newport at the end of July. George Wein should pull some strings and get him on - one last coup for George to be sure.

[@trinacogitating4532]

Seconded. I've also been wanting to hear him do his version of Blues to Elvin.

[@ParisZX]

WHO IS THIS GUY? He's a god!

[@2009jazzman]

a MASTER..WOOWW

[@cudleydudley9215]

mental......keep going dude..X

[@fistchips]

Fan freakin tastic!!!!

[@joehernandez5600]

F'ing genius! Star Spangled Banner and Fur Elise were incredible!

[@dnsguitars4962]

Upside Down & Backwards,,, this dude is freaking INCREDABLE,,,📌

[@bodhisattvanuminous8428]

For people who don't know or don't play guitar: Albert King is the dude who played a right handed guitar with his left hand, had the low E string furthest away-giving weird chord shapes. Hendrix played a right handed guitar restrung for a left handed player, with the strings in the proper position and the usual chord shapes, but got a unique sound with the thicker strings being longer (among other things he did). Both Hendrix and SRV, having big hands, used their thumbs to form chords rather than barring them like most players.

[@lynnbain3543]

Was there dynamite gig !

[@dlulbTV]

cool!!

[@nancybarrass9561]

Eric Gales be tripping and so is the camera man. lol aahh. maybe i spoke too soon. would LOVE to see him w/ Stan Skibby. Happy Birthday Jimi 72 on the 27

[@porkbelly0713]

yeah, that is Eric Czar on bass.....worked Joe Bonamassa for quite a while, stellar player. EG is simply one of the best on the planet right now, we love you man!

[@DougErapps]

Eric rules. But that drummer... DAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!!!

[@walterdekaey]

I want that chord, WoW ! 🎸

[@SouthernPrinceKenny]

Does this guy play with the strings upside down as well? Reason I'm wondering is that some of the high notes he's playing looks like they're being played at the top of the neck around the low E, A and D strings areas....? How does he get so much loud clean tone from a Strat? Also, how does he play Kashmir without DADGAD tuning on the same guitar tuned at normal EADGBE? Very much a different kind of talent ; . )

[@StanWho]

U'r right. I think Albert King played w thin strings up too. Does not make sense to me

[@johnpshitek2473]

SouthernPrinceKenny Eric Gales, his late brother Manny (Little Jimmy King) and third brother Eugene Gales all play upside-down, fretting with right. Albert King jokingly referred to Manny Gales as his grandson. American blues history. I recommend the Gales-brothers album "Left hand brand" and Little Jimmy King's Red House when Buddy Miles' is on the drums, and tell me that is not Hendrix'esque shit!

[@RobLyonThreeDazeTilSunday]

The bass player is a beast as well, saw him with Joe B

[@brianflanigan5836]

Holy shit is that Eric Czar??

[@davejarvis37]

rock on

[@ChadAndrewHarris]

Holy Mother Fuck. He seriously just gets better, and better, and better.

[@MrNivaro34]

What is the beautiful chord at 14:46 ???

[@ЛевПарицкий]

Boom! :D

[@albertoasche7065]

Funky. Groovy. Jimi H, EG, SRV, Gary Moore......

[@mariebrigittesevaistre2310]

yeahh .... he dared !!! and he was right !!!!

[@jimisrvclapton]

This guy's hands shape is completely like Jimi's

[@TroubleinZION]

What beat is dude on bass dancing to? Because it for sure isn't the beat of the song. Either way they sound good.

[@michaelcollums4452]

Yes he does play left handed but what is incredible is that he just takes a right handed guitar and turns it upside down the strings are backwards talk about being gifted you either have or you don't Eric has it.

[@outlaw_2716]

Strings aren't backwards bro.

[@RequiemRedemption]

+Outlaw _27 they are!

[@emdblues]

Eric Czar on bass

[@julienpregent4397]

Keep it up! I mean the guitar playin not the crack smoking

[@uslimisli]

4:20 look at the drummer

[@lionchamp29]

the guitar is strung like a right handed players?

[@Trey-jl9ru]

lionchamp29 yep

[@epdouglas]

This guy's the real deal, that fucking intro...wow. Keep it foolish playa

[@JawnBLAZE]

lol he sound like Ric Flair when he say WOO!

[@stan2211stan]

Flair spent a lotta time in Mid South Wrestling.

[@bmuhamad]

Eric just needs the maracas for this song...

[@Hello_there_obi]

if jimi hendrix, samuel jackson and will smith had a baby

[@enrikeloko84]

thats rigth !!!!

[@NetPwn]

LMAO, damn right bro.

[@gerby90]

Matt Bolt And had Eric Johnson come over to babysit 😂

[@alessandrovanzan5489]

Probably Jimi was more "belly" Eric is a different talent.

[@johnpshitek2473]

erics audience seem a little douchy

[@zr24X4ROCKS]

yeah , the camera guy sucks. musicians are great.

[@fourkois]

Almost similar to jimi hendrix

[@RezaMatix]

Worst camera operator in history.

[@Blackscorpion1963]

+RezaMatix Not bad for a dude who's blind I wudda thort...

[@RezaMatix]

+Blackscorpion1963 great for a blind man..hehe.

[@RSCL_BEATZ]

funny to me: most guitarists bring their guitars back in tune; not this guy; he likes to de tune. Don't try this at home kids, Or anywhere else for that matter.

[@pillionaire07]

Lol... Sad pathetic people looking up videos of people they don't like just to post stupid shit on the internet.

[@cosmofasciano81]

fire the cameraman

[@dr.smithx9120]

The Worst Camera Work in the History of Filming.

[@hinjurock]

Awesome guitar playing, but that drummer has no sense of dynamics or subtlety - he's just bashing the whole time.

[@hinjurock]

And he's pretty sloppy and off the beat half the time, and a show-off to boot. This guy should definitely not be playing drums in a professional band.

[@alessandrovanzan5489]

Better than Jimi.

[@hinjurock]

+alessandro vanzan No.

[@markusaurelius777]

uhhhh, NO

[@johnpshitek2473]

i dont really think this is voodoo chile.
