There's no other player that can improvise within the exact same spirit in which Jimi created the song. Repeating the song as written is excellent work, but unless they've had background similar to Jimi's, they can't comprehend the subtleties that the original was written. Eric has lived it and we're all extremely blessed for the opportunities that were necessary to bring him to this moment - even just in video form. He's not just something else, he's beyond.
I recognize and appreciate what your saying about this guy Eric Gales. I just recently discovered him and knew I had found something very special indeed.
@@neilangus4401 Your dear Gary Moore never sounded blues nor hendrix at all. He is one of the blues wannabe wanker from UK. We're talkin the true evolution of AMERICAN BLUES. STFU
I feel lucky that I've seen him live twice - he really is just freaking incredible. Like so many great musicians though, he's criminally underappreciated.
All of Jimi's guitars were right handed flipped over. The difference with Eric is he doesn't bother to restring them top to bottom like a normal guitar should be, the way Jimi always did. Eric's bass strings are on the bottom, not the top. That makes it one kick ass novelty to be able to play it that way and pull off what he does 'best' but really that's the way he learned, using his 2 older brothers guitars and not fooling around with them. I've met him several times here in Memphis and saw him play on Overton Square when he just a kid. He's actually 8 and half years younger than me but a much older soul. Dig!
Eric Gales RAWKS!!! - sure he's one of the best Blues players in the world but I love it the harder he gets! It takes epic talent to play the wide range of all he can with the refined expertiese of a RAWK LEGEND!
Gales, Love to rock wit cha. I feel where your at my Daddy and I sat an listen to ya! Letting these p edd know where it's at! Look me up brotha! Funkified, midnight star. Tennessee connection. Gellico!!!!!!!! Nothin but love and appreciation. I love what your doing!
+Abraham Jackson I think it happens to us all. Same thing happened to me with Uli Jon Roth in 1983 after playing for 3 years. There is an interview with Jeff Beck were Hendrix did the same thing to him. I think he said "thats it then I best get a job at the post office"
Damn, at first a said ...bahhh but then i saw he was holding the guitar Upsidedown and backwards not like hendrix ...it is a normal roght handed guitar flipped
Hes not playing like Jimi Hendrix.His guitar is truelly upside down.Right handed guitar played left but not restrung.Low E is on the bottom high E on top

Eric rules. When I see him playin' I see Jimi floatin' around here.
