    ----------------------------
    Eric Gales -
    Eric Gales is a force to be reckoned with in the contemporary Rock-Blues scene. mesmerizing fans around the world with his outstanding vocal ability and his amazing, incomparable guitar virtuosity.
    Gales was considered a child prodigy He started playing guitar at the age of 4 and was taught how to play by his older brothers, Eugene and Manuel (pka Little Jimmy King).
    He released his first record, “The Eric Gales Band” (Electra), in 1991 at the age of 16.
    That same year, Guitar World Magazine’s Reader’s Poll voted Eric as” “Best New Talent.”
    In 1993, Eric released his second CDs, “Picture Of A Thousand Faces” (Electra), as well as his self titled third album, “Eric Gales” (Asylum).
    In 1996 Eric and two of his brothers teamed up to form The Gales Brothers and recorded “Left Hand Brand,” which was recorded for the House of Blues label.
    Through the years, Gales garnered dedicated fans world-wide, including A-List Blues and Rock artist celebrities like Carlos Santana, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, B. B. King, and Eric Clapton.
    In 2001 Eric signed on with the Hendrix family affiliated label, Nightbird Records, and recorded the critically acclaimed CD, “That’s What I Am.”
    In 2006 Eric recorded another critically acclaimed CD, “Crystal Vision” and his incredible follow-up, “The Psychedelic Underground” for the Blues Bureau Label.
    In 2008 released "The Story of my Life”, in 2010 he released "Relentless”, followed in 2011 with his release "Transformation”, in 2012 he released his Double “Live” Album/DVD.
    In 2013 he released his 12th album, “Pinnick Gales Pridgen” (Magna Carta).
    Also in 2013 he released “Ghost Notes” (Tone Center)
    In 2014 he released “Good for Sumthin’” (Cleopatra)
    His latest release (#15), “A Night on the Sunset Strip” is due out in 2016.
    Eric has often been compared to Jimi Hendrix, and even plays guitar left-handed, like Hendrix, with a right-handed guitar turned upside down, but remarkably, he is right-handed, taught to play guitar left-haned by his left handed brother!
    Comparisons to Hendrix notwithstanding, he is no Hendrix clone! Gales has developed his own distinctive blues/rock sound and a unique playing style that embodies and exemplifies his various influences, as diverse as Albert King and Eric Johnson.

      It's called cotton picking, named after Elizabeth Cotton who was left handed and taught herself to play guitar from a very young age, she just flipped the guitar without changing any strings and learned that way. At one point her older brother told her she way playing wrong and adjusted the strings for standard left-handed playing, but she couldn't play anything, so she flipped them back.

    You're lookin at a living legend, ya'll. If you have not had a chance to see this cat play, you are missing out. Saw him play this past Spring in an unadvertized show in club that only had about 100 people in it, including staff. It was a last minute thing. No promotion. No advertisement. Nothing. It was the middle of the week. It was fantastic. Those who were there, stayed for the entire show and loved every minute of it. They made it a point to show their appreciation quite loudly.
    Afterwards, Gales did a meet and greet. You could tell he was exhausted. He was on tour with Joe Bonamassa at came from Texas to play the show. That's not a short haul. Anyway, he made every person who waited in line to meet him believe they got their money's worth and then some. No one was rushed. He took as many pictures as they wanted. It was very chill. It also happened to be my birthday that night. So, he gave me a copy of his album as a present and signed it, "Happy Birthday to my friend , Eric Gales" and he dated it.
    I think he was more exited that I chose to come see his show on my birthday than I was to actually meet him on my birthday! lol!! Eric Gales also has one of the greatest comeback stories in all of Blues and Rock and Roll. Check it out. Its a good one.

    Eric Gales is an amazing guitarist! I twice had the wonderful pleasure of jamming with him in Minneapolis, MN, at a club called Famous Dave's - in the Uptown area of town. He was amazingly fluid and creative. I was amazed to keep up with him - in my own way ot course - and he even complimented my playing on both occasions. He's had his personal struggles/demons to overcome, but none of that has ever taken away from his great God-given gift. Wherever he may be in the world as I write, I wish for him nothing but the absolute best! Carry on Mr. Gale!

      But he's really nice and humble. A truly scary talent...probably one of the greatest living rock guitarists. My guess is the only reason Eric Clapton hasnt asked him to tour with him is that he could actually make Clapton look like an idiot.

    This guy is seriously taking the P. Hadn't heard of him before (I know, shameful) so took a quick trip to Wikipedia. I'm blown away by the fact that he's not even left handed, never mind shredding on a fully upside down guitar! Just superb.

    never mind that he can play upside down, i've seen a couple other guys do that quite proficiently and it still blows me away, it's like watching a magic trick you'll never figure out. but his playing is so brilliantly clean, fantastic tones, and no wasted notes, no sloppy fills or noodling, just good ole fashioned rock and roll like it was meant to be played. and the rest of the band is great too, bass player is fantastic.

    • @neuroxik
      @neuroxik 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      tomitstube I don't understand it either. Sometimes I've switched my (right-handed) guitar the other way around just for the kicks and even trying to play mirrored shapes of easy open chords is a struggle, I'm back at square one like I was +22 years ago when I started really playing, but add to that having root notes at the bottom, I dunno, maybe it's the same as starting from Day 1 as a "normal" player, although the shapes feel uncomfortably weird.

    • @tomitstube
      @tomitstube 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      neuoxik. ikr? i have enough trouble playing the way it's taught, you know these guys have to be mostly self taught and have a great ear. used to watch a white guy play like that, played metal, totally unique sound, ripped through arpeggios and sweeps like he owned them, i'm sure my mouth was on the floor most of the time, i forget his name, he was local at the time, but a phenomenal player too.
