The moment when Eric starts playing the chords to intro the song, there is something that it does to my spirit. I can't help but imagine the rising sun. But with it, a message that stresses that I need to do better, reach higher and work smarter. And yes, I Don't smoke or drink anything to feel this on the opening of this song. It's just amazing.
In August, I was on a Joe Bonamassa cruise where Eric played. They played together and Joe called Eric the best guitarist in the world. I have a rough video of it, if you're interested.
Me ??? Well been on this fine earth for over 60 years....Hacking on the guitar for at least 40 of those years and never heard anything so sweet in my life.... Just stumbled on this bad ass dude and wondering what took me so long...As a huge Schofield and Bonamassa fan for years I just found a NEW idol.....WOW !!!!!!!!! See you in Rochester for sure......My man !!!!!
Whatever regarding people's jimi comments. His playing is much more complex period. Rhythmically, harmonically, and vocabulary wise this dude is wicked
Eric Gales has been travelling with the Hendrix Experience Tour (Kenny Wayne Shepard, Dweezil Zappa, Billy Cox, Mato Nanji and more) He plays with Eric Johnson on occasion as well. He's been on tour this fall/winter with Lauryn Hill. Check out some of my other vids. This guy is amazing!
I remember he had a song on the radio and he was like 10 years old. It was all about a young man coming up in the blues world. Never herd from him again. This was killer, hum and all lol.
Caught these cats live at the viper room last year in LA...FUCK they rip shit up!You know that feeling you get after you leave a powerful movie?That's how I felt!They slayed me man...I was inspired for weeks.
Well, got to confess, I was confused. Been listening to Eric Gale for over 30 years. I'm thinking, he looks to young, combs his hair differently, but buy, does he play well. Yes, the late Eric J Gale played sweetly, but I'm glad I heard this. This is really great.
eric felicidades desde españa...brutal ,hace muchos años compre tus 3 primeros discos y luego te perdi la pista,ahora eres un hendrix modernizado ...que fuerza das a la strato, de verdad.vente para san sebastian a tocar ...seras recibido como mereces ,un crack
Man, he's such an awesome musician and interesting guy, just found out about him recently. His musical style is awesome, he combines blues and jazz, and throws in ambient and beautiful chords while playing rocking blues and a solid jazz style. Also, he's got the swag of a rapper, has that Memphis accent, reminds me of Juicy J from 3 6 mafia hah.
***** your right dude, i just found this on wiki.. 'Eric Gales (aka Raw Dawg) (born October 29, 1974, Memphis, Tennessee) is an American blues-rock guitarist, originally hailed as a child prodigy. As of 2011 Gales has recorded ten albums on major record labels, and has done session and tribute work. He has also contributed vocals on several records by the Memphis rap groups, Prophet Posse and Three 6 Mafia'
awesome! never heard of him before just stumbled on him checking out dunlop jimi hendrix pedals... one link leads to another and ya dont know where youll end up!
THANKS EVERYBODY FOR THE KIND WORDS!! HIT ME UP ON TWITTER AND FACEBOOK (@EricGalesBand) and facebook/EricGales
He has that 'thing' Jimi had, I can't explain it, dynamics and fluidity, but also soul and control!
Eric & Jimi don't play guitar, they just play music.
I like him better than Jimi - different, at least. He feels every note.
I love watching Eric play, not only is he an awesome guitarist but he looks like he is digging every second of it
