Joe Satriani, Steve Lukather, Eric Gales & Mateus Asato Epic Jam Session!

[@levianett]

As a die hard fan of Luke and Satriani, I can say Eric Gales took this jam beyond any expectations.

[@stevecrosby3678]

I think a piece of it is the unexpected sounds playing an upsidedown strat rather than a lefty. But he is amazing - they all are!

[@kojam1]

He ALWAYS does though! He's so damn expressive with those lines! NOBODY expresses like he does.

[@bucktis9]

its hard to beat gales playing blues

[@imaxeman69]

Yup! ! !

[@Mexxx65]

Satch - totally unique, totally Satch patented!!!! Luke - His note choices are simply unparalleled, trademark Luke sound Gales - Blowin' like a gale!!!! Like a true bonafide bluesman..... Asato - Has to put on his big boots for this gig!!!! But did we ever think he didn't own a few extra-size boots in his closet. Technically and virtuosity, the best by far in this group. But. He has that extra bit of magic, that shows off his technical prowess....quite well.

[@DanielRodriguez-yq4xw]

Gales....outstanding among monsters

[@elainemeyer5062]

Just saw ur comment today about Gales and how 👍 he is. IDK too much about his other music, but I 💞’d the duet he did with Beth Hart of ‘I’d Rather Go Blind’ - they were both amazing 🔥 in my almost 70 yr old opinion!

7:10 - 9:20 My face is absolutely melted after that. I've never seen this man play before, but the fact that he plays southpaw AND upside down (check it-- thin strings on top, heavy below) blew my freakin' mind. Such effortless runs at the end, too... Just... blown away.

Obviously all legends, but I was particularly impressed with Gales on this one. Aside from his incredible dexterity and ear for rhythmic & melodic phrasing, the story arch and dynamics of his solo is what everyone should strive for with improvisation.

I agree, they all are virtuosos in their own right, but Gales is the most 'interesting' new guitar sound in years. Always so fresh and unique!

[@Marcus_C51]

I've always loved Gales' playing, oozing with feeling like a good blueser does and I feel like he's been holding back some in jams I've watched before! Damn, Eric has some really serious chops-stone cold killin' it and flying! Everyone sounded great though-what lineup of players in this one!

@@Marcus_C51 the fact is he wasn't holding back, he has just improved in the past few years, he has had his nose on the grindstone and been practicing new stuff, exploring more sonic realms, and of course new chops to throw around when he feels like it, he wants to be versatile now, and not pinned down by the blues moniker

There is simply no substitution for the experience gained through playing with other musicians together in the same room at the same time. Can't be faked!

Lukather sounded like he played closest along to the changes. Satriani stood out the most. Gales played the most freely and passionately. Asato had the most technicality and precision.

[@frankgreco]

Very good description. Luke was really nailing the changes. Asato had a really nice tone to my ears too. Gales was clearly the most emotional player. I think Satch was more subdued than usual since he's usually the ringleader.

I noticed Luke playing over the changes like a jazzer as well. Satch just has THE TONE. I wish they would have turned Mateus up in the mix. And Eric can flow like no other guitarist I know of. Killer Jam.

[@Dan-zq5wt]

What a phenomenal group of players. Lukather is such a great dude too. I feel that there is a living group of guitar legends who are VH contemporaries who represent the face and are spokespersons for the history of rock and fusion guitar - Lukather, Vai, Satriani and Paul Gilbert. Besides being virtuosos, they are incredibly kind, generous and humble people. In interviews and in their playing, they pay homage to and find genius in all the guitar greats through history. They don’t call old blues prehistoric or Page “sloppy” etc. They recognize that everyone stands on the shoulders of the older masters, and they know they inspire a younger generation themselves. These guys keep love for the guitar alive for new generations. Bonamassa is like that too. Hats off to you!
