I saw here in Madrid -Spain in concert with Steve vai tour.was great,eric played slide(I think) with a bottle of glass beer.on the table bar,and fire on stage.the concert was one of my fav all time.congratulations eric.I play for over 25 years and I play gibson,left hand. thank`s sincerely. santy.
Eric Sardinas is the most awesome slide guitar player and a sincerely nice guy!! I go see him jam EVERY time he comes to the Cleveland Ohio area!!! If you get a chance to see him live..DO IT..you will not regret or forget the experience!!!
I've got a lot of respect for anyone who takes the time to teach, or give a secret or two. That just shows that ego doesn't come before the music. Rory Gallagher is still my favorite, but I'm grateful I got turned on to this. Great tunes.
People would have a hard time getting to know this dude from this video... but goddam it's one of the best slide guitar video there is. People would have a hard time, because of the recording and video quality... That would prevent them from seeing the absolute, fucking RAW RAWNESS of his playing.
I saw him too two days ago here in Prague... and he was AWSOME! He really lives for blues & rock n roll... He gave us so much energy while he was playing, it was incredible... Love ya! :P
Blues spawned Rock. Rock back pollinates Blues and wham....we have tasty musical treat like what this gentleman is playing. I for one dig it ..thanks for sharing
I saw him on tour with Vai. As huge a fan of Vai as I am, this guy was the show. Some nobody (to me) opening act and I was floored. He is a great musician, guitar player and performer.
damn where the hell did this guy come from he's the king of slide guitar i listen to nothing but blues music and everybody i know can play slide but this guy takes them all out and knows all kinds of different styles of blues slide this guy is a freaken demon on that slide...mad respect man ur the best slide guitarist in the world hands down..
I've seen this guy live in Grand Rapids . One of the best slide guitar players around. There's Johnny Winter, (RIP) Luther Allison (rip) Bernard Allison, Derick Trucks, then there's Eric, A brilliant man . I'm going to study this guy.
You can always tell when you're listening to Sardinas - he has such a unique style and tone. He was amazing when I saw him support Vai - he played for a good 2 hours himself!!
This guy is amazing I saw him with steve vai and he blew me and my mates away. Jaws hit the floor and stayed there till vai was finished.The whole beer bottle show was fucking cool too!
Good job. You are quite creative. I appreciate that your demonstrations are short. You don't assume your viewers are dumber than a box of rocks. Thanks
the best guitar player in the blues-world!!,i'm so lucky when i have he's hand in my hand in france(istres...with steye vai),i love this guitar-player.....thank you MrSARDINAS...........SEE U
Spoke to Eric after a gig at Chan's in Woonsocket RI a few years ago. Pretty cool guy. Unlike most blues-rock guys, he has a lot of hard rock fans in his audiences as well, due to opening shows for Steve Vai and Joe Satriani. If you like these demo performances, you absolutely HAVE to check him out in a full-fledged concert atmosphere. Simply amazing.
Guys. Let this guy play in his own style. Every musician should have his or her own style. Whether you like it or not is up to you. But quit bashing him for having his own approach to playing blues slide.
this is just awesome i used to "think" that Steve Vai is the only god on earth for me but this guy has just entered... no chance... say what u say.... this is real real awesome
Well,I have seen and met Eric several times(even tho I live in Scotland) and he is the best slide guitarist (in my opinion) around. I play slide guitar and know a wee bit about it.
OK, You guys that are bashing him, how about showing us one of your videos. Everyone is playing the same ol same ol Robert Johnson licks which are great but this guy really burns it up.
Eric man you are truly one amazing player, you have backed the likes of Steve vai, but to be honest you are in a different class, you are faultless, on the RES.
No, it's just a different way to tune the guitar, open D is DADF#AD if I'm not mistaken and the capo just makes it "open E" as it brings all the notes two steps up. Can't remember what open G is but you can look it up.
Jesus H Christ on a bleedn' bike!!! this geezer's just awsome!!!! gone straight into fave's ;) can anyone say whether he has any CD 's released???? i'd love some of his kickass music to make boring drives more bearable...
That was some of the coolest slide work I have ever seen....it looks like you do a lot of sliding with just you fingers as well as the slide that we see??? Do you? Thanks for posting Kevin
Very generous and inspirational..I went out and got a capo that I first lost a couple a months ago.. The Dobro doesn't do well in the live scene( too much throttlel) so shortening the neck brightens the tone and cuts the feedback..maybe
@stones187 Hi There! The Guitar you refer to is a Washburn ES20 the Eric Sardinas Signature model! Unfortunately no longer available. You may be lucky and occasionally find a second hand one Hope his helps!
@Trisnjok Bob Brozman too is a great, great guitarist. It's unbelievable the stuff Brozman does. The other thing I admire about both Brozman and Cooder is that they're musicologists' and musical historians.

Tenía 13 años cuando vi esto por primera vez y sigo alucinando.
Eric is So Underrated.I hope someday is gets a little more attention than He has so Far.
Ive seen him live about 3 times and he gets better every time. He is working up quite a reputaion as one of the best slidesmen to ever pick it up.
Check Out Justin Johnson. Another great player and slide musician
Eric Sardinas is the most awesome slide guitar player and a sincerely nice guy!! I go see him jam EVERY time he comes to the Cleveland Ohio area!!! If you get a chance to see him live..DO IT..you will not regret or forget the experience!!!
I saw him on Steve Vai Tour years ago... and he plays like GOD, one of the best performing ever!!!!
I've got a lot of respect for anyone who takes the time to teach, or give a secret or two. That just shows that ego doesn't come before the music. Rory Gallagher is still my favorite, but I'm grateful I got turned on to this. Great tunes.

the energy this guy puts into his playing is incredible.
Man, this guy is amazing! Great talent and great taste!

thanks that was very nice to watch and listen to. Blues slide playing as good as I've ever heard, lots of nice turnarounds.
I saw him too two days ago here in Prague... and he was AWSOME! He really lives for blues & rock n roll... He gave us so much energy while he was playing, it was incredible...
Love ya! :P
This guy is on my top 10 favorite guitarists list! Love his style of playing... no wonder Vai had him play at the last song in the Astoria!
Blues spawned Rock. Rock back pollinates Blues and wham....we have tasty musical treat like what this gentleman is playing. I for one dig it ..thanks for sharing

i love the humorous signature popping of the low e string at the end of each clip! it never fails to make me laugh each time..haha. awesome playing!
You can always tell when you're listening to Sardinas - he has such a unique style and tone. He was amazing when I saw him support Vai - he played for a good 2 hours himself!!
he is awesome !!! Eric is a rock ! he is the best player of modern slide the world!! We brazilian love the delta music! His a super American talent
great artist! i saw him with Vai in Zagreb in 2005. brilliant!
I saw him live in 2000 opening for Steve Vai. Can`t forget those incredible high pitch slides. Great performance. The shame his not more popular.
I've seen him 3 times. Great show, excellent player!
He were here in Sweden gothenburg with Steve Vai, i went there and Sardinas were incredible, played slide with the beer as well haha.

Guys. Let this guy play in his own style. Every musician should have his or her own style. Whether you like it or not is up to you. But quit bashing him for having his own approach to playing blues slide.
Wow, smokin', dude! 5 stars- loved it!

I play slide guitar and know a wee bit about it.
OK, You guys that are bashing him, how about showing us one of your videos. Everyone is playing the same ol same ol Robert Johnson licks which are great but this guy really burns it up.
mcmmetalman agreed. Totally original

Sure go ahead and post a link of you doing something this amazing and well all bow down to your awesomeness and insightful words of wisdom.
:O) Awesome! This totally lifted my spirit, thanks Eric
Wow thats a really cool video, slide guitar is so hard to play well. I've been playing 8 years but I still find slide the hardest thing on guitar.
Danm, that's an awesome guitar!
I ve seen him playing before steve vai in İstanbul. Relly liked his style and the band.
Sonny Landreth is also extremely accurate. The things he does a slide guitar are amazing.
wow. now those are my kind of blues
The 5th fret harmonics are a nice touch.
holy crap hes good definitly in the top 5
A real inspiration thios guy is.
I like the Zippo`s sound between the lessons 👌
The come in on my kitchen video is pretty kick ass too. He's got a gnar beard goin.
Eric man you are truly one amazing player, you have backed the likes of Steve vai, but to be honest you are in a different class, you are faultless, on the RES.
this dude haven't no secret on dobro-blues guitar..amazing!!!
No, it's just a different way to tune the guitar, open D is DADF#AD if I'm not mistaken and the capo just makes it "open E" as it brings all the notes two steps up. Can't remember what open G is but you can look it up.
O.o its great!!! jajajajja Good 5 stars!

He looks like a cross between SRV and Johnny Winter. He plays amazingly well
Very generous and inspirational..I went out and got a capo that I first lost a couple a months ago.. The Dobro doesn't do well in the live scene( too much throttlel) so shortening the neck brightens the tone and cuts the feedback..maybe
His play remains me of 30s Chicago blues
Epic stuff.
Great player, Great face movement
