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!

[@levent.]

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.

Sensacional.... Só fico triste pelo atual momento da música e da guitarra no Brasil..... Os guitarristas são vaidosos e desunidos, e estão valorizando pisadinha, wesley safadao, anita, ludimila, jao gomes..... Só coisas lamentáveis !!! Enquanto lá fora surgem, a música boa tem seu espaço. Aqui não.... tanto que nossos grandes estão indo pra lá. Mateus, Kiko, Luís Calil, Lari Basílio, André Nieri e muitos outros !!!

[@bayesian2007]

Lukather isn’t underrated among folks who know the music industry. He’s a known monster.

[@alessiograziani6355]

Lukather is never considered as a guitar hero, and it's a very good thing, because he's a musician first of all. Most of the time the "guitar heroes" are really bad music composers

[@lisazinn866]

Underated by who?

I feel the same. Holy shit!

[@woodch]

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.

Most of the time when you hear Steve play, its like seeing the tip of the iceberg. He is usually very subtle and subdued, but when he lets it rip, there is nothing that guy cannot play. Total legend.

It's not a competition but EG got the band swinging the most! His playing dictated that. The man!

Well that's it - he swings! No surprise, he's the only root's-based player on the stage who can truly play the blues, rather than the blooze (;

@@dcaudwell Yeah this was right in EG's wheelhouse.

[@kellanodonnell8838]

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.

[@davidleerotharmy]

Asato…a legend? Ah…

[@rhesreeves5339]

Yes exactly

[@Tonysmithmusic]

amazing to think gales is not only playing the guitar upside down he’s playing the strings in reverse as well. 😱

EG killed it. Marvelous performance

[@2good2betrue3]

Wow!, Eric Gales just SLAYS!😈 when you see mainstream rock icons like Luke, Mateus and Joe stand back far to watch with delight. - you're watching something beyond the ordinary. Great Tone from Satch and Luke, but really Eric just stole the show on this epic Jam.🤘

[@i-guitar4722]

All outstanding players....Eric Gales has really incredible touch and understanding of great, unique tones...great honest sound and a really great feel and ear

[@WesleyThibodeau]

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!

[@orion681]

Bonamassa loves him

[@shable1436]

@@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

[@timtorkelson7201]

Spot on!!!

[@whiskeyhangover1438]

Reading the comments seeing how everyone felt about Eric, I kinda dampened my expectations but when he started playing I started getting the chills. One of the few, very few players on the planet who can communicate emotional transference at least to me.

[@gtdcoder]

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.

[@beachcomber4141]

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.

[@benardlorrabellanosa]

I think their guitar we're not evenly mix as Lukathers guitar when he solo it was kind of behind compare to Asatos guitar.. Just saying..

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!

[@frankgreco]

Totally agree. They certainly don't trash the older masters with childish phrases like "boomer bends".
