Josh Smith & Eric Gales - The Way You Do - 2/16/16 KTBA at Sea Cruise

[@ralphmejia3842]

Been listening to this over and over and come to the conclusion that Freddy King must have been a big influence on both of these guys. The perfect interaction between them is awesome. Fast becoming a favorite. The more someone throws at Gales the better he gets. A bottomless well of riffs. Thanks for sharing.

Well done Tasha in capturing two young 6 string LIONS. Beautiful SIMPATICO. Wonderful INTERPLAY & SHARE. Thx JOSH, ERIC & band. pcHux.

[@mssburr]

They are both amazing. Think Josh has been playing since he was 6yrs old... I have been following him for a while... And Eric is amazing as always. I would have loved to have been there.

There is still a person in this world who is not able to appreciate two virtuosos blues trading licks on a 12 bar blues.

Josh Smith has grown so much, love his phrasing and voicing, very tasty musician, he speaks the language well. Great performance by E.G as always.

Simply Amazing

[@seanfitzpatrick7878]

Josh and Eric are both absolute masters. They both make it look so effortless, they're both so unique in their soloing style yet they compliment one another perfectly. They play off of each other so perfectly and they're both such a joy to watch. When two masters can get on stage and play for the song itself and not to impress others, the results are purely magical.

[@crypticy]

Finally a guy that can handle Gales :) . Even hearing first time, Smith is a bomb man

[@ddevice4914]

Masters at work...

[@mssburr]

OMG, Josh and Eric... to much... Amazing

[@coffeewaldo]

Nice josh and the fact that Eric's sitting makes me very happy because I always sit when I play. That's what I got used to.

[@nellgit]

[@porkbelly0713]

I knew that Eric could really do some picking, but Josh is impressive as well, they sound great together and I love Josh's voice.......thanks again Natasha.

[@AMPSHOWS]

wow!

[@peterkadar768]

Holy shit, I'm tearing up

[@jeremylive31500]

Wow just awesome!

[@Blackwolfsbane]

can`t argue with that!

[@skipacuff5104]

Communicating at a sublime order of magnitude 🙏🏻 They should jam with John McLaughlin to see where that might lead.

[@benalfa6735]

What type of tele is that sound amazing

[@guitrr]

Benjamin Alvarez Josh's guitar is a Chapin. Check out The Pedal Show episode with Josh on KZbin, where he shows his entire rig.

[@LarryDepontes]

what are the lyrics for this one?

[@ralphmejia3842]

My only problem with some of these GREAT bluesmen is they occasionally forget sometimes less is more. That is what Hendrix said and SRV practiced. Still a mind blowing performance

[@coffeewaldo]

Oh Eric's sitting because he has no guitar strap. Oh well it's still ok in my book. It was good enough for BB.

[@TheBhannah]

+coffeewaldo must be hard to put a strap on an upside down strat

[@seanfitzpatrick7878]

The way Eric plays a right handed guitar, strung for a right hander) flipped upside down, makes mimicking some of his extreme bends ridiculously for me to play as a right hand guitar player but it almost always leads to me creating new and unique licks for my arsenal.

[@MrJoeyBoombotz]

It is like Tele players can't hear the ice pick tone they produce and assault their audiences with. This guy's tone is ultra harsh and obviously thinks it's cool. That is the reason Danny Gatton, Roy Buchanan and other tele players go into oblivion. What a shame. Nice licks though.

[@mongrel8074]

+MrJoeyBoombotz I was on this cruise and spent some hours just a few feet from Josh Smith playing his Tele. I'm a guitar player and been close up to live music for almost 60 years. I guarantee there was no ice pick at all from Josh's Tele. If you are real familiar with Gatton and Roy, you would know that when you hear ice pick, they wanted you to hear it. When they didn't, you didn't. My first Tele was made in 1951 so I'm pretty familiar with them and how you get the ice pick and how you attenuate it.

[@MrJoeyBoombotz]

That's nice. Thank you. He does play incredibly well.

[@davidriggs2729]

+MrJoeyBoombotz I think strats are equally as harsh. However, it's not the difference in single coils or humbuckers that determines a guitarist's legacy. We live in a culture that does not appreciate greatness but embraces mediocrity in many cases. I won't go into the many, many examples -but there is merit in the statement.
