Jonny Lang Introducing Eric Gales At Carolina Theatre Durham,NC 2-2-16

Video by Brian Beikirch (Eric Gales Jams with Jonny Lang's Band Great Video!!)

[@mikeyg00]

Jonny has in my opinion the best blues vocals of anyone out there now. And he’s been able to sing like that since age 16!

[@TheloniusJ]

Eric is the baddest cat walking this planet right now. Dude POURS his soul out with every note.

[@IntelInside2020]

Facts!

[@jonweiss1358]

"Sign of the Times." 🎶 Jonny Weiss "Airport Blues." 🎶

[@romainmarengo]

Woow ! Eric Gales is a killer. Jonny who’s not the musician next door introduces him like « Are you ready to hear music from another level ? ». Thank you for this gem.

[@Riighhe]

thats one of the best guitar solo played for 4 minutes non stop.. BOOM !!

[@doodleedledoo]

Makes me smile how great this is. Kudos to Jonny Lang for being so magnanimous.

[@thinkiaint73]

I've bragged Eric up to friends and family and told them that they HAVE to watch him play. They ask who I would compare him with. I say, no, you don't understand. You don't compare this guy with ANYONE. Mr. Gales is like no other. There's not enough frets on any guitar to slow this beast down! When I pick up my Strat and try and lay something down even remotely close to his style I end up looking and sounding like Steve Vai getting his soul ripped out and stomped on by The Karate Kid in the movie Crossroads! I love this man's skills. He also expresses himself so well, which adds to his performances tenfold. I'm so glad we've got people like him keeping the music REAL. Here's to many more years, Eric!

[@chuckjackson9066]

WELL SAID!

[@Jeff4014]

The best blues solo i've ever heard ..made me cry

[@jeffconzalino8886]

Bring your box of tissues to a Joe Bonnamassa show if this guy turns on your water. You might need two.

[@Jeff4014]

Was a huge Joe bonamassas' fan and then a discovered Eric gales and. Bye bye Joe

[@angrybuzzy]

The bit starting at 9:10. I started laughing I liked it so much. That fuzz tone with Eric's phrasing and feel. Killer!

[@willyhighfilo4979]

A few greats do that to me also. Musical Bliss!!

[@alisatour2198]

Hi Brian! Great post Brother. Thank you! Be well.

[@oluwaboriogunafolabi3997]

While the rest of the world shouts "Trump this, Islam that, black this, white that, left this, right that", I just watch stuff like this and salute the true music folk out there. We all know what it really is when we hear and feel deeznotes. MusicUnitesUs Salute!

[@craigshealy4671]

[@buddyalbert5808]

Eric Gales and his Strat should be the next Avenger. He’s a freakin super hero. Memphis Proud.

[@kevinmorgan3738]

Not a Strat...

[@thebronzelion6585]

Eric made that strat sound like a saxophone for a taste, He definitely on another level..

[@nrich5127]

I'm now converted to the Eric Gales church of music ...

[@rudyvonzippa956]

Amen

[@paulkane9525]

Electric church

[@Rosehips100]

[@jquinnwilson]

Eric is so good it's insane

[@mercedesguy4267]

I was there... Great show!

[@nebraskastephens1945]

Much love to both of these geniuses. Pretty sure every one of those dislikes were just drunk people missing the right button. It's cool, I've been there too.

[@sabbatti1]

Whoaw!

[@brianoregan1216]

I'm 56 years old. One Saturday morning, I'm in my dining room doing paper work. This is 16 17 years ago. My Daughter is in the living room listening to some Disney show. And I hear this amazing guitar? I got up and mosey in. Hey hon, what are you listening to? She was not hearing me.it was Jonny. Amen

[@jimmypercival2728]

Great performance by all. Mind blowing

[@kevinspringborn495]

That is a fantastic solo

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

Thats a fucking great band as well ...

[@SureshSabbath]

Just awesome man

[@aberamengesha4216]

The whole crew is fire

[@AnnieGr59]

Jonny has a healthy ego! Letting Eric shine. Also lets his whole band play their hearts out.

[@malcolmi]

I BELIEVE THAT HENDRIX WOULD HAVE ADMIRED GALES! HE IS G.O.A.T!

[@danielsuarez1431]

Hendrix is unique. Eric Gales is an awesome guitars linger but Jimi was from outer space. 🛸

[@jacklevycci]

Would hate to have to follow this up, poor Johnny

[@dillyhaha]

I was like why is he takin so long before I realized he was being saved for last and for good reason

[@timfender0740]

If you didnt have a smile on your face watching that..there is something wrong with you. That was insane Eric!

[@tmatheson54]

This is a guitar. This is Eric. This is Eric on guitar. Any more questions? Maybe one. That cat rocks atomic energy. Wow. How come there are a few good guitarists named Eric? Eric Gales, Eric Johnson, Eric Clapton...

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

Erik the Red, Eric Idle, Eric Cartman ... the list goes on ...

[@BlairCromwell]

And another Eric, Eric Gale.

[@rudyvonzippa956]

And the Guitar Gods have given us... Thee Eric Gales...Amen

[@Riighhe]

best solo of the history

[@tatianasirbu411]

WoW.... WoW.... WoW

[@jonweiss1358]

[@kalidasmusic5637]

Holy f%ck!! That was epic!

[@bluessax5089]

that cat on the keys has the greatest stank face of the year!! looks like he's smelling something fonky

[@dillyhaha]

That’s all bc of EG’s solo 😂

[@garydreyer7478]

Awesome, background noice from audience was distracting

[@davewilliams9718]

Jake Kershaw does this bsaaaad azz also! Love dem blues!

[@porkbelly0713]

His brother or half brother was Little Jimmy King (Manuel Gales) ............... check out his live version of this song on da tube RIP Manuel, we miss you greatly

[@michaela3909]

Just fucking WOW!

[@davidlawrence5]

"Building a Guitar Solo" should have been the name of this performance. Learn from it.

[@Jeff4014]

Please.someone change the title to " building a guitar solo...amazing"

[@P2Psolved]

Eric Gales is freakin' ridiculous!

[@BretBunton]

Why did you stop it. Lord have mercy

[@Chilinoploopy]

Bass player looks like if Hank the angry drunken dwarf was normal size

[@donzxcv1]

Dude he's playing that upside down Hendrix style .. dang

[@user-ix4ry6bp4r]

great solo👍👍👍

[@mikecurtis9485]

EG would lead the pack in any genre

[@jodyshields6768]

Good stuff

[@ds-zd9qz]

the keyboardp/piano/organ players face was my face the whole time.

[@veteranaffiliate]

Dope

[@bobbynoe1]

B.B. meets Jimi

[@MrJohnthegreat22]

I wonder how SRV would of reacted to hear EG?

[@mikecurtis9485]

SRV is smiling down on him

[@ryanelison4539]

Eric Gales got the opportunity to meet SRV. Eric was recording a demo for an album when he was 15. Eric asked for his autograph, then SRV replied, “the only way I’ll give you my autograph is if you give me yours first.” He let Eric try on his rings and hat on, then they both played Riviera Paradise on two acoustic guitars. Eric tells the story in a KZbin video.

[@periurban]

I've yet to hear a better blues player.

[@sc2603]

Coco is the only other guitarist I’ve ever seen play a right handed strat upside down... amazing

[@user-gm5by6dj3d]

Freddy king. Doyle bramhall.

[@Jeff4014]

@@user-gm5by6dj3d yeah but they weren't that good and fast and emotional as Eric is

[@Jeff4014]

He is playing the guitar upsidedown and backwards

[@joshhardin1347]

He's probably playing it the right way and we're all doing it wrong.

[@byronp24]

@@joshhardin1347 I never thought about it that way

[@robertbartels3742]

Just how he learned as a kid. He’s left handed but the only guitar available was right handed.

[@Jeff4014]

@@robertbartels3742 actually he is right handed! He writes and eats right handed..ge says that in many interviews

[@1Billyon]

I would like to see Eric Gales jam with John Mayer...Now that would be EPIC!!

[@thiago140893]

Éric fales in on another level... nobody can jam with him... no jazz musician can do it imagine a rock,blues or any kind of player...

[@tomasvenditti5223]

It would be great. But john would miss the rock aspect

[@6meanstrings]

Epic embarasment for Mayer... lol...

[@AlexK-iq2ej]

6meanstrings I don't think you understand how good Mayer is

[@AlexK-iq2ej]

6meanstrings I don't think you understand how good Mayer is

[@leftymadrid]

What a great player AND the luckiest guy as a lefty!!!!!!!!!! The fact that he can go to any guitar shop and pick up a right handed guitar and just play ... I am a lefty and see hundreds of guitars hanging in a shop, and three lefties... Totally depressing...

[@vrenyvanelslande7503]

And you want to hear something even more mind blowing? Eric's actually not left-handed. He's right handed, but as a kid, his older brother, who's a lefty, showed Eric some stuff (left handed) on guitar and Eric, being so young, just thought that THAT was how you hold and play the guitar. I know what you mean: I'm a lefty also. I've been playing custom Suhr guitars exclusively in over 20 years. :)

[@Jeff4014]

How to build a guitar solo? Watch this from minute 7:50 and hear from bbking to eric johnson

[@bonniegilland3282]

Wow we getting old now you in your 50 now

[@tMena45888]

Jonny ain't no slouch but Eric put Prince and Hendrix to bed Lol

[@trijigon]

The people in the audience are annoying. Completely ruined this.

[@friwilliam9769]

Wtf, .. you would like the audience to express feeling when playing, how is that annoying.. you should buy a ticket. Or maybe not because there might be other audience.

[@Jeff4014]

Pleasee quickly! Chanche the name of the video to "How to build a blues guitar solo"

[@SophisticatedBob]

There are players, really good ones, that would sell their mother to play like that. He's not of this planet.

[@suadonyx5476]

ok

[@kevinmorgan3738]

I don't know what the fck that bass player was doing, thinking or playing. The drummer fell apart trying to showboat as well... No Not digging it.

[@rosariocampos5007]

Lol suckers

[@stratocaster1greg]

I dont feel anything listening to Eric. No balls in his playing.
