@@musicproductioncentral4540 dude you really lack taste and music sensibility. If he had max distorsion and played more pentatonic you would be an awe, but since he has a clean tone and a more refined style (like avoid abusing the pentatonic scale 99% of the time) you think the solo was meh. You really need to go back to school and learn that music isn't all pentatonics, distorsion and fast licks.
@@pippo9830 Hmm, that's weird of you to say all that, since i didn't even say anything about WHY i thought his solo was not that great. Nothing to do with how much distortion he's using, or wether or not he's using pentatonic scales, or any other scale. None of that matters. I'm talking about his phrasing, rhythm, and note choices being totally inferior to Eric's. "if he had max distortion and played more pentatonic you would be in awe" hahahahaha I think you mean typical idiots that don't play guitar would be in awe of anybody wiggling their fingers really fast with tons of distortion covering that fact that they suck. A thousand bucks says you've never touched a guitar.
I feel like Eric although world renown today deserves so much more props than he receives. I've never seen him live, recorded live or in studio that was not epic perfornance. Especially live. He also goes out of his way to engage with the audience.
The polished professor, the cerebral European, and the character filled "Raw Dawg". Three guys from three different backgrounds brought together by one song and a common love for an instrument. Each brings a part of them into their playing that is incredibly unique and beautiful. Amazing.
Tomo-San. Pure class. Supporting the song. Incredible dynamic sensitivity. He knows that he doesn't need to impress anyone. Humble and beautiful playing. I wish I could have him as a teacher!
amazinglymistaken17 something, ive studied musical theory for almost 20 years and what eric gales does with those dimisnishes is something that you wont undertand, never! Just go and have fun liseting to tom and matt, eric gales is not for you
Tomo is more jazz trained than Eric is. What an arrogant statement. Eric doesn’t just use diminish either. Matt also plays such things. All amazing players
I was noticing the same. Never stepped on anyone's toes, but if you took him out of the mix, all the harmonic undertones would be gone. Dude was doing some very complex chords and progressions as well.
Fantastic. Eric Gales is on another level. The other musicians were observing Gales with amazement. Gales chord voicings are truly unique. Complete command of his instrument. Gales has been under the musical radar for far to long.
Word! Saw him in the nineties with the band he had with his brother... Awesome!!! Just caught on to the project he has with Dug Pinnick, and Thomas Pridgen called Pinnick, Gales, and Pridgen... Some serious rock there!!!
Gales is obviously amazing, but I'm pretty sure the reason they're staring at him is cos he plays upside down. That's fascinating from a guitarists point of view. I also have to say that I preferred his feel on the solos, he's just nuts
Sam Posener Was going to say he plays a right handed guitar on the left side but with strings reversed but then read this on Wikipedia Although Gales plays a right-handed guitar "upside-down" (with the bass E string on the bottom), he is not naturally left-handed; he was taught by his brother, who is left-handed, and never second-guessed the untraditional technique.[1] That is just amazing.
Rocky Standridge sorry man no dice. Hendrix played a right handed guitar flipped around but he strung it properly! Gales plays with the strings inverted
Rocky Standridge lol. They both play right handed guitars flipped. But it's not they're not playing the exact same way because Gales has his low E on the bottom. And Hendrix strung his guitars properly, even though they were flipped round.
As much as I love J. Satriani, Vai and the like, I think this song fits much better with Eric, Tomo and Matt's style. These guys are from another galaxy
I hear you. Love Joe and Steve's melodic playing, but sometimes bluesy down home groove is better left to other guys in the game. Eric is just a wonderful guy to listen to. Classical, blues and jazz tastefully put together. so much soul. I've seen Joe and Steve on G3 and met them and they are great good guys, but this kind of soulful playing is what's up too. These guys are all killin it.
Tomo killed this solo. Those double stops were other worldly. Damn this is beyond great playing by every guitarist. Just amazing tone and feel from each one.
Man Eric is one of my favorites ever...he is so spontaneous and has a great sense of humor in his playing which is missing from a lot of guys...and he doesn't ever fall into cliche's even when he is playing in a song/tradition that is so full of them.
@Grammaire Katherine Damboise Sorry, don't hear it. "Easy Blues" is a two chord thing, and they jam after "Little Wing" over a three chord thing. But anyway, my favorite is and always will be Jimi's (too) short version on "Hendrix in the West".
bobbynoe1 it’s definitely a musician’s performance... when there’s a bunch of great players they drag it out. Ear fatigue happens sometimes though. Come back now and see how you feel.
asian dude is sooo sick! wow totally clean sound too, love how the different players styles shine through... unique guys.. don't usually like stuff this Jazzy but this is awesome, healing my soul man :D
sorry Tomo I should have called you by your name, no offence meant man. aaahhh I find myself here again, in need of and receiving more healing so thanks again doumo arigatou gozaimasu! lol watashi wa ongaku ga dai suki desune! please forgive me again if you are not Japanese lol
all 3 are excellent players. Tomo is so refined and melodic and Schofield's tone and phrasing is as good as it gets (as is his Albert Collins t-shirt!) but damn, Gales just has so much go for the throat abandon and mojo in his playing. the live recording quality and stereo separation on the multiple guitar parts and nice drum mix really sounds better than most in-club live recordings of this type.
Gales, Schofield and Fujita ... A fucking epic rainbow sushi roll of little wings with a splash of saké with your corn bread, white meat and jam! Fuck off all nay sayers this shit is a sword fest slaying dragons ...
just discovered Tomo today and watched a couple of his warmup tip videos. Has a great personality to be a teacher. Laid back, supportive and positive reinforcement. Holds his own in this and brings something new. All three brought something cool and Eric is Eric.
It's the pure emotion behind every note. Not "check this out", but "where is the music taking me". His dad told me that he told him "less is more" as he grew up. Matt can go "more" but it sounds like it belongs.
Dunno about anyone else here, but can the up loader please put up some more videos from this gig?? This is such an amazing performance and I would love to see the rest!!
Whoa. Gales you are on another level. I didn't think it was possible to extend Little Wing musically and soulfully. But you captured the heart of Hendrix and told your own story in a way that is beautiful and complimentary to the original work. I'll be processing this peace for sometime.
Dino South... Amen bro!....no need,to hate.....these comments are like that drunk person at a concert saying.....there not as good as bla bla....listen an learn how to listen people!
This is a great version! A great collaboration of great musicians. 25 minutes is not too long for this song. I've heard this song in its many variations since the 60s … Jimi's very psychedelic version, to Derick & the Dominos rock & roll/southern rock, to Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan solo, and even younger generations are playing this. … No matter what version/genre I hear this song it's still amazing. Jimi has been an influence on so many musicians and I think this version does his great song justice! He would be proud. On a side note, another great version is Stevie Ray Vaughan's version from his concert at the El Macambo.
eric absolutely shredding and jazz chords, tomo jus2funky with the super clean chord progressions and slick riffs, shofield with the blues licks and tone from hell - great trio!!
Yeah it was a jam as someone mentioned, but if you paid attention look at the cool changes that Eric made up on the spot and turned an ordinary rendition of Little Wing into something different and way more cool than just a blues jam. Eric's energy and talent always boggle my mind. I was lucky enough to do alot of his album art for his releases on Shrapnel and I always put in extra effort when his albums came across my desk.....
Yeah Eric Gales just commands the stage, led all the way man! Great interpretation of the song by the players. Eric is one of a kind, Eric Gales = Genius!
We all know who is the ALPHA GUITARIST of these three. I got to see The Eric Gales Band in Austin in the early 90s. Eric had just gradded from high school. He and his brother roaring through (4) Mesa Dual Wreck FULL STACKS. It was insane. Love the way he can reverse swell & sound backwards. Songs ending with some kind of "aug"chord. They played jazz style chord melodies and had soft to all out crazy gained-out dynamics. All in a humble vibe.
Amazing! Little Wing at 25 min.; can't beat that. Loved the ending licks Eric does; almost an Eric Johnson sound to them. I guess great Eric's think alike!
These Kats are the best of the best letting out the music in them this is what it's all about in the journey of musicianship...Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico USA 🇺🇸
OMG, trio of my favorite guitarists on this planet!! I can listen to these guys all day/night long.....well actually, rest of my life long.... any other songs from this show?
It cracks me up how so many of the comments are just a pissing contest in direct opposition to what this sweet video is all about. Here we have a small, intimate club venue with a handful of musicians playing for the love of music, gathering inspiration from each other and all producing sheer joyous soul on the spot and off the cuff, while a bunch of armchair wannabes argue about who is ":genuine" or "better". Pffff It would be funnier if it easn't also sad. It's a great show that I truly wish I'd have witnessed live. Thanks for the Up. Appreciated.
wonderful to hear different interpretations on a theme, with each guitarist bringing their own voice. some very tasty treats to soak in and try to incorporate (steal). great post
Blimey, I've broken out in a sweat! Watching Matt alone or Eric alone is bad enough but the two together!!!! Amazing to see the blues take by Matt and Rock take by Eric.. Playing at its best!
Wow !!! i have be playing guitar for a long time but this is some amazing playing ;some of the best i have ever heard ....for blues . i lked the late great Michaei Burkes . great tone from that Les Paul
Eric Gale is playing with the spirit. That takes his solo to the spirituals of the church and elevates it to a different level. But all three are masters of the guitar. Too much fire and innovation by Eric is I think the problem for a lot of listeners. He totally owned his interpretations in every way possible. Just played true to the nature of the song. Without him it would be "oh hum another rendition of 'Little Wing'."
Eric was amazing, but Tomo and Matt were absolute beasts. Tomo as alaways in "less is more" mode with his slick chromatic bends. Matt smooth as butter, his solos were the real definition of blues. All 3 of them are on another planet here, all with their unique sound, if you remove one ingredient the dish loses flavour.
Awesome video. For me, Matt is the one with the most accomplished, mature and musical touch. His single notes speak more than the multiples of many others. There's an old-soul common thread that ties players like Matt with the likes of Stevie Ray, BB King, Philip Sayce. Finger tone, phrasing, vibrato, and an emotive, sensitive, musical command of dynamic and expression. Truly one of the most underrated guitarists on the planet. Tone to die for, too - and 90% of that lives in his fingers.
Adam Lee something, ive studied musical theory for almost 20 years and what eric gales does with those dimisnishes is something that you wont undertand, never! Just go and have fun liseting to tom and matt, eric gales is not for you
this guy is soooo underrated.... I am so glad he will be on tour in France in 2022... what a wonderfull year (I hope !!!) it will be, seing him , Kingfish and Gary Clark the SAME year ! I hope this Covid madness will be over soon, I DON'T WANNA WAIT ANOTHER YEAR !!!

I can't believe there are listeners that don't appreciate Tomo's incredible melodicism, rhythm playing, timekeeping etc. Dude is a beast-this performance would be far less without him.
The more I hear Tomo's playing, the better I like it! All three of them are great, and this is an amazing rendition. My favorite.
He shouldnt even be on the same stage with Eric, thats for sure. He's a great teacher. But that solo was mediocre at very best. It was very awkward.
@@musicproductioncentral4540 dude you really lack taste and music sensibility. If he had max distorsion and played more pentatonic you would be an awe, but since he has a clean tone and a more refined style (like avoid abusing the pentatonic scale 99% of the time) you think the solo was meh.

@@pippo9830 Hmm, that's weird of you to say all that, since i didn't even say anything about WHY i thought his solo was not that great.

A thousand bucks says you've never touched a guitar.
@@musicproductioncentral4540 bad take 😊
Eric Gales makes note choices that no one else does, and blends jazz/blues/classical so well. Oh man. He's so good.
I feel like Eric although world renown today deserves so much more props than he receives. I've never seen him live, recorded live or in studio that was not epic perfornance. Especially live. He also goes out of his way to engage with the audience.
He aight
I couldn’t agree more..
That's because he's a church musician. If you listen to church musicians, they rely highly on Ending songs or solos on Chords with alternatives
The polished professor, the cerebral European, and the character filled "Raw Dawg". Three guys from three different backgrounds brought together by one song and a common love for an instrument. Each brings a part of them into their playing that is incredibly unique and beautiful. Amazing.
Jonathan Lee you put it perfectly.....some kinda magic happened.
Exactly. First reaction: Oh no, three guitarists playing Little Wing. Second: wait a minute .... nice.
Couldn't have said it better! Excellent description of this wonderful version
Who is the raw dawg?
@@uchennasunday7037 the one that's not the polished professor nor the cerebral european
Tomo-San. Pure class. Supporting the song. Incredible dynamic sensitivity. He knows that he doesn't need to impress anyone. Humble and beautiful playing. I wish I could have him as a teacher!

You should try to get into Berklee then (:
I was noticing the same. Never stepped on anyone's toes, but if you took him out of the mix, all the harmonic undertones would be gone. Dude was doing some very complex chords and progressions as well.
Tomo's note selection is bringing tears to my eyes. Those half finished quick-fire runs just slay me. And here comes Matt...
Fantastic. Eric Gales is on another level. The other musicians were observing Gales with amazement. Gales chord voicings are truly unique. Complete command of his instrument. Gales has been under the musical radar for far to long.

+Gordon Tubbs Yes, but Hendrix would remember to turn the guitar strings
Gordon Tubbs yep nice
Marco Avanti Actually he played out of tune all the time
A rthur bug Boy
Lol these comparisons of Gale to Hendrix are ludicrous unless you are talking about his race?

Tomo’s playing is ridiculous, he “jumps” between entire musical genres effortlessly, and to perfection.
He's really subtle and melodic
Been listening to this for three years now.
It's probably the best improvisation session that I've heard despite spending my life on TH-cam... it's lunar... they are real guitar geniuses.
Just wow! This touched my soul I have the chills RIGHT NOW!!! Eric Gales, Tomo-san ARE BOTH GUITAR LEGENDS.
It's awesome how Eric Gales makes people smile while he's playing!!!!
A three hour concert in 25 minutes. 3 incredible guitarists each bringing their own wondrous thing. A priceless treasure. Thanks one and all!!!
25 min that's the way to play Wing.
Way too long, imho.
@Grammaire Katherine Damboise Sorry, don't hear it. "Easy Blues" is a two chord thing, and they jam after "Little Wing" over a three chord thing. But anyway, my favorite is and always will be Jimi's (too) short version on "Hendrix in the West".

wtf!! At first I thought 25 minutes of Little wing, that's a bit too much..
25 minutes later I thought: I WANT MORE!!!
Incredibly lush, and the most beautiful rendition of Little Wing I've ever heard!
Tomo Fujita Very killing me.
This deserves millions of views!! COMMON!!!!!!!
Eric Gales, Hendrix would been very proud, and impressed.
this is one of the best youtube videos ever!!!!!!!!!!

the live recording quality and stereo separation on the multiple guitar parts and nice drum mix really sounds better than most in-club live recordings of this type.
He has earned master's status
I really like Tomo's jazz blues style. So great to listen to and definitely gave this song a different perspective

@@hardtaill70 I won’t judge him for one bad student :)
loving this Eric, Matt, Tomo, Johnny & Kevin - great team!
Beautiful, melodic, entrancing...three VERY talented, yet humble musicians paying tribute to Jimi. Love it!!
Is there anything more pure and beautiful than music played by people who dedicate their lives to it and feel it wholeheartedly? I think not.
I just wonder what Hendrix would think listening to this rendition of his song. I'd love to see the smile on his face.
He would be genuinely amazed, yes this is that stellar
Matt Schofield is so smooth even when he's shredding he looks like he's in slow motion
Wonderful version! Best solo I think I've heard Tomo play!
schofields tone gave me a toner
^^
Toner- a new term for me I'll use it all the time now!
My toner was so hard from that too
It's the pure emotion behind every note. Not "check this out", but "where is the music taking me". His dad told me that he told him "less is more" as he grew up. Matt can go "more" but it sounds like it belongs.
Hahaha excellent wording
God...no matter how many times I hear this song its so unique , grand and stunningly beautiful!
this is one of the coolest things I've even seen anywhere ever.Period
these guys are some of the best musician's on the planet !
I loose my shit when tomo jumps while he hits the bend, awesome!
It's a spicy bend. Probably gives you the hot foot when you do it.
Dunno about anyone else here, but can the up loader please put up some more videos from this gig?? This is such an amazing performance and I would love to see the rest!!
Whoa. Gales you are on another level. I didn't think it was possible to extend Little Wing musically and soulfully. But you captured the heart of Hendrix and told your own story in a way that is beautiful and complimentary to the original work. I'll be processing this peace for sometime.
1st time I saw Eric was on the andertons meets Eric gales video, what a humble gentleman he is, and absolute guitar genius
Great video. A guitar rainbow of styles. Fantastic!

But such great musicians Eric Gales and Tomo Fujita.
Blues.
Really too bad I know it’s totally not a comparison but gales really destroys the poor guy
this guy is soooo underrated.... I am so glad he will be on tour in France in 2022... what a wonderfull year (I hope !!!) it will be, seing him , Kingfish and Gary Clark the SAME year ! I hope this Covid madness will be over soon, I DON'T WANNA WAIT ANOTHER YEAR !!!
wow!! I need that watch from Eric:-) great Players all the way!!
Greatness all around on that stage all around. I defy you to convince me otherwise!
