    Eric Gales is the kind of musician that literally cries on stage when his improv' lead him towards unexpected emotional territories and when the audience goes with him at the exact same place. His playing is sick because he's so honest about his music that he accepts the "risks" to go anywhere as long as it's true to him. Immense musician! Total respect for the man!

    Halfway through this video, I was so impressed by his playing that I looked him up to see if he was touring around me. Turns out he's playing a show 30 minutes away from my house in 2 weeks. Just bought a ticket. Can't wait to see him in person!

    I grew up in Memphis with Eric, and didn't know him personally, but my old keyboard player was his roommate at Governor's School in Tennessee. This is when Eric was in high school. I was told he was a super nice guy and just a pure born talent. I still remember when his first album came out. That thing was played a lot on local radio in Memphis, and we all knew he would be something great someday.

      I'd venture that Gales was a bit like Keith Richards, in that he possibly had more of a POLICE PROBLEM than a DRUG PROBLEM. Like, he seemed to want to wage WAR against the police - a black man in Memphis?!? Oh yeah, there's a lose-lose scenario.

    Love it. Eric you are great. When I heard you say around your house the first family member that got the Hagstrom guitar was on top. Man, I learned to play guitar in the late 60s and my parents finally bought me an electric guitar after I kept using my older sister’s Spanish acoustic all the time. Yep. They bought me a red Hagstrom. I loved it and I loved my parents for letting me play it on our farm house with my friend who played drums as just the two of us would jam. They let us set up a room on our second floor and play as loud as we wanted. Talking about some cool parents. Thank you Mom and Dad. RIP. Dang it, I sold that guitar. I wished I kept it as a piece of my music history. Bless you brother. Dang Eric you more than play the guitar. You make beautiful music. It’s like you meld with the guitar and become one. I love watching you play on stage too. It’s fantastic! Cheers.

  • @universalskeptic7836
    @universalskeptic7836 7 ปีที่แล้ว +53

    As a left handed player who plays right handed I have to agree that it helps to have the dominant hand doing the fingering. There was no left handed guitar available when I started. I never thought of playing upside down like Eric.
    Thank you for your honesty Eric. I wonder if artists like yourself talked more about drugs and the down side of the thug life if you could have a positive influence on youth.

      universal skeptic - Bang on my friend. Look at both Gary Moore & Tony Mcmanus, profound lefties who both play guitars for right handed players.
      Maybe we "Right Handers " should be buying left handers - when we start to play :)

    • @stonecole4703
      @stonecole4703 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Mike Bloomfield was a lefty who played right, Hendrix was a righty who played left. These are two of my biggest guitar heroes, so if I could go back I would get a left handed guitar so my dominant hand could be on the fretboard.

    • @rydes68
      @rydes68 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Buying left handed guitars, absolutely sucks! Every great guitar store has a couple of left handed guitars, if your lucky one might be decent. As I am teaching my sons, learn right handed for no other reason that buying a good right handed guitar is so much easier. Eric Gale, master!

    I'm left handed and played right handed for 5 years. After learning that I could tremolo pick way faster with my left, I bought a lefty guitar as well. It was a bit weird in the beginning but with all the experience I already had plus I should have learned lefty to begin with, the progress has been astounding. Playing left handed has also improved my right handed playing a fair bit too.

Here’s a story for ya that shows how bad it must have been; I remember playing a club in Nashville and his road crew came in wanting to sell his guitars/gear etc as the entire situation had drug/alcohol imploded and fell apart somewhere on the road and they had left him behind wherever it was, were broke and trying to get home, a very dark vibe! I said NO THANK YOU. Wouldn’t have bought his gear in that situation if they were asking $5 per guitar or amp. That’s just simply WRONG. Very weird and scary. So glad to hear he made it through all that darkness.

    I gotta say, the captain just gets better and better with each appearance - a classic player in his own right, the exposure to all these world class musicians is really seasoning him with the special spice.

    Awesome video, skillfully navigated through the chat Captain, having an interesting flow to the conversation not an easy thing to do. Fantastic player & a great guy, glad he got through it to the other side, hope his story helps those who need that help, much respect EG.

    I remember in the early 90's, I saw an Eric Gales video on MTV and it blew me away. And I'm a bass player! He plays so unique and with passion. Rock on Eric! 🤘👍

      Angelo Neri I tried one in andertons last week as I was thinking of selling my mesa boogie 94 dual caliber 50 1x12 combo which is obviously all valve, and was thinking of buying the DV GH250 head and a 1x12 or 2x12 cab to go with it. End of the day I'm glad I changed my mind. Nothing beats all valve especially in live situations. I cranked it up loud in a room trying it out but it's a small room in andertons course it will sound OK ish master half way set, but it's a transistor. Who uses transistor amps? No guitarists in history. The head like I say may sound ok in a small room but put in a band situation valves rinse over it, in sound, depth and warmth and just brilliance. Don't get one they're shite basically. 😂 oh and whenever have Italy been known for making anything good for Guitar amps? Never.
