Andy Timmons - Eric Gales - NAMM 2013

This video was taken at the Winter NAMM Show for 2013 in Anaheim, CA. Andy Timmons and Eric Gales put on an impromptu jam at the Dunlop booth. I had honestly never heard Eric Gales play before, but was quite familiar with Andy Timmons. It was a very cool moment - and I'll certainly be checking out more of Eric Gales' stuff.

[@patrickwhite4151]

Two guitar Gods. Sheer heavenly bliss

[@JSmith-mu3fq]

Andy seems like thee Only guy that can actually jam with Eric! Good Team!

[@Jibosau]

Agreed man, they really converse so well. I will say that bonomassa and eric have a video up here somewhere and they play really well off of each other.

[@FoxinTaiwan]

Agreed! *They should have a song together!*

[@markjackson3273]

Actually, there is one other guy that can jam with Eric. He's not as good, but he's damn good.His name is kenny wayne shepard. Andy timmons is just bad ass.

[@ToraFish86]

Andy's not too loud. Two amazing guitarists: I can assure the volume is right. It's about amp direction and camera placement.

[@TheOfficialCaseMade]

Eric is easily one of the most natural sounding, amazingly talented guitarists I've ever seen, but I am ashamed to say I tend to forget about Andy Timmons. He is not only just unbelievably talented, what always strikes me the most is his damn near perfect ear for tone and just how tasteful his playing is. AT knows when to back off and cruise around and when to put it to the floor and burn it down, and that's something 99% of virtuoso guitar players lack.

[@mathieudager4234]

Been 4 years since I first stumbled across that vid. I’m a huge fan of Andy Timmons. You’re right on the money when describing how tasteful his playing his. Andy Timmons is the epitome of the ultimate blues-rock guitar player. When teaming il without Eric gales what more can we ask for. Musical exctasy.

[@patrickwhite4151]

Totally agree

[@brianjohnson2905]

I held my guitar silent in my lap.... smoked some goodness. And thoroughly enjoyed a great 8 minutes of awesome vibes. Take care everyone.. love and spring in the northern hemisphere. Peace and joy .

[@BigMikeGuitar]

Eric Gales is so good that when he is playing you might not even know he is playing - super ORGANIC AND AMAZING!

[@antisolcial]

Wow shit you're right. Sometimes I had no idea he was playing he blended so well. Especially in tue beginning

[@CelikDogukan]

they are having an amazing conversation about which we can not understand anything , pure awesomeness.

[@jitsroller]

The beauty of art is that you don't have to be an artist to enjoy it.

[@mwyatt222]

Andy teaches right up the road from me in Addison Tx. Ive wanted to take lessons again at 58 after playing professionally all my life. l met him while working at guitar center in Dallas. lll never forget what a good person he was like ''lm going to the convenience store, what can l get you guys?'' type good person. Just to pay to talk business and about all the greats he's played with would be worth cost of lessons.

[@newfreenayshaun6651]

Best jam ive seen in 700 years. Kalib, make sure youtube puts the commercials at one end or the other, not during a professional performance. Thx buddy!

[@roderickgardner3483]

Both these guys are Dynomite!!!!!!!!!! They need to concert together. Great chemistry !!

[@juancho-gs3wl]

Andy and Eric the best.

[@colinohare]

Two great playing great. Fabulous.

[@InsertName125]

At 4:40 Uncle Fester takes a peak.

[@Achimski]

[@MrJoeyBoombotz]

A quite beautiful musical and human moment. 2 wonderful Masters. Bravo!!

[@RabihSaadguitars]

Just beautiful and stunning...

[@83munchy]

you got 20+ years of Eric Gales to catch up on! The man is awesome

[@sassyguitars]

One of the best jams I've heard in a long time. They hang with each other great. Might want think on a collabaration on a few songs anyway.

[@MikeBradleyofficial]

Wow!! absolutely wonderful.

[@azaan1632]

It's amazing how many people have never heard of Eric Gales or Eric Johnson.

[@FastRedPonyCar]

I had the pleasure of hearing both of them on stage tonight doing a duet of Waterfall on the hendrix experience tour. Absolutely incredible talent. Gales matched EJ note for note and then some. Never seen anything like it.

[@soofitnsexy]

what???? everyone knows johnson…Gale??? who….

[@chapo1101]

Yep saw that show in Austin,Texas! It was incredible. Eric Gales very underrated guitar player. He is right up there with the greats.

[@coffeewaldo]

Hard to believe if u play electric that u would never have heard of either Eric. That means you probably don't know a lot of other great guitarists. Do ur homework. Read guitar magazines, check out the internet

[@soofitnsexy]

or timmons

[@yourdrummer2034]

I know I'm 8 years past the fact, but this was quite the tasty jam sammich these boys done spun up!!

[@romanese279]

Whoohhooo.... Its Crazy jammin' perform The Great BLUESMAN Eric Galess and the underated guitar Hero Andy Timmons

[@augustepiccard1985]

thanks to who ever was that record this vid...luv both of them!!

[@AlanScottBand]

They should tour as a double bill- great individual artists- and better chemistry than I have seen in most two guitar bands. And their tones are distinct but complemetary.

[@shredacuda]

that was absolutley the best namm jam i've possibly ever seen.

[@rodentcafeteria]

It's great watching and listening to these two very accomplished guitarists jamming and each one at times getting off on what the other is playing.

[@rocketpost1]

Superb. Two great guitarists having a bit of fun and enjoying each other's company. I don't usually enjoy jams but this was really good.

[@alexchejlyk7764]

Incredible. Love both of these guys! Very complimentary tone(s) and what great chops! Inspirational!!!

[@crypticy]

The rhythm Andy started is killer ..

[@sasmitha8446]

Axel Fox Chords for the rhythm anyone?

[@keepemlo]

Run of the meal

[@singles6995]

4:04 Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

[@robsmith4602]

i was fortunate enough to see the eric gales band play a small venue here in ark. back in the day...1 of my favorite shows.

[@kimmolingonheimo]

such a wondeful duet!

[@ArtGuitarLTX]

Never heard of Gales until now. WOW! Great feel man....Great!

[@puptones4271]

petrucciator Hopefully you've checked out Eric's debut album The Eric Gales Band. Age 16 at the time! Unbelievable for a kid to play like this! Enjoy!

[@wessantana5688]

He' s surely the modern Hendrix

[@graysinclair6572]

Agree with Puptones. Bought his debut cd in 1991 and was blown away! Really glad to see and HEAR Eric playing again for our enjoyment.

[@brianjohnson2905]

Whew! I needed that this morning.

[@Batataguita]

and people passing by looking the other way not knowing who's right there making this wonderful sound, two guitar masters, and I would love to have the opportunity to see these monsters playing...

[@benjaminsnoize]

I think i had a good night, then i watch this....excellent` would have loved to been present !!

[@bortedemirci6369]

Oh god Eric reverse strings.... Awesome..

[@QuistJam]

6:38 That next gear Gales has... maaaaaan it's 👌

[@charlieisamonster]

Truly outstanding!

[@physiciansassist1]

Eric's a beast...So soulful

[@f4b10lisb04]

no words for these guys

[@josephowonantsama8614]

Extraordinaire feeling de Gales, comme toujours!

[@ernestathari3441]

Damnn..awesome jam, they paint it wonderfully

[@vhotton]

gales: .....whatever you wanna do! LOL

[@christiaandemarezoyens4720]

G.P. So they settle on a E minor vamp 🙄😊

[@richysoto102]

Buenísimo.

[@Vinitimmons]

Just amazing!!!

[@spyrosstathis382]

Maybe the best jam ever?

[@PapaDudeness]

What a jam... these two dudes are simply untouchable.

[@Istari_01]

Great! Eric I know, Andy I plan to get to know. Just bloody great.

[@greenmile4233]

Wow...Andy Timmons and Eric gales, what a team up...

[@bergjohnson5273]

You guys should do a project together , also with Cody . Record it & let me know when it's for sale . Thank You !

[@Gunnerth1]

So fucking awesome.

[@InsertName125]

Seriously, Andy should have played a bit quieter for Eric when he was accompanying. I'll escort myself out now.

[@smack7917]

The biggest problem with NAMM is you can't be everywhere at once. I met Andy at that NAMM but missed this jam

[@devapriyaacharya4691]

Ahhh!!!!! So nice

[@k.padraigokane1472]

The best part of this is Gales strap! ;-)

[@BLUESGUITAROCKER]

Timmons is a monster ! Eric is a master ! Great stuff

[@MarcBenham]

Great jam two awesome guitar player just having fun Thanks for recording thanks for recording this jam and giving us a chance to enjoy is well ! My only complaint is the people passing by behind them oblivious to the fact that two of the greatest guitar player on the planet are playing ! Well it is Nam so some of them were probably shopping for acordions LOL.

[@yulistyaadinugraha8947]

amazing !

[@josephowonantsama8614]

Always Amazing me, this Guy!

[@ThePowersThatBeef]

|How can people be walking past Andy Timmons playing the guitar and not stopping???

[@markjackson3273]

Don't forget the best guitar player sitting next to Andy his name's eric gales

[@markjackson3273]

At least Eric gales has a guy that can play with him. I saw lance lopez, play with eric gales, and I gotta tell you, lance sucked. He couldn't hold a candle to eric gale's much less andy timmons

[@Ogscottyp]

They seemed a little uncomfortably awkward at first, then quickly honed in on each others style. Always loved Andy, and always knew Gales to be good, but never knew how good. Nice Eric. Nice.

[@MrUltraworld]

Great video.

[@cousinmaryann]

Very nice!

[@francescopuc1985]

Andy absolutely over the top

[@stringmanipulator]

Awesome!!

[@ianrandell]

[@sonicsaviouryouwillnotgetm6678]

[@batmandeltaforce]

NAMMagic:)

[@stefguitar90]

Greaaat jam!

[@dezionlion]

epic jam!

[@CRISSFRESNO]

AMAZING !! RESPECT !!

[@davejackson88]

Real Sense of the rhythm... an onthers words that's called groove..

[@4GuilleMusic]

omg why is this not on every radio station!

[@graysinclair6572]

4GuilleMusic Because the overall populace doesn’t want MUSIC anymore. You have to have an ear for music to want true artistry, not talentless jibberish. I was jamming to Eric Gales back in 1991 when his debut cd came out because I had been engrossed in multiple genres of music since the mid 70s and therefore knew I was listening to pure genius. Most of today’s “artists” aren’t worthy enough to hold either one of these brilliant guitarist’s instruments, much less try to play them. In short, most of today’s young people who subscribe to today’s “artists” haven’t had an education as to what real music is. And THAT is sad.

[@4GuilleMusic]

Gray Sinclair agreed.

[@frankardos4211]

When Eric asked Andy "whatever you want to do"...imagine Andy saying..."anything from Racer X"LOL!Peace n fun

[@jzober]

What pedal effect is Eric Gales using at 4:04?

[@evalex71]

Wilford Brimley at 5:05

[@davidbentley145]

If this is dessert(it's is!)...I want to have it everyday!

[@gaggle57]

7:20 - 7:30 - Simultaneous Guitargasms !

[@jitsroller]

Love Gales, but Andy mmmh mmmh luv it.

[@Parkway808]

[@TheKobe246]

[@mathieudager4234]

Otherworldly grooves

[@lunaty1988]

[@evalex71]

Gales killed me with that lick at 5:58

[@moonstone8205]

Its a shame that not to many people know of eric. U want to see something amazing. Look up the duel with Joe bonamassa. The song is called John Henry.

[@llamaledbetter]
