I see Eric Gales, I click like.
Same!
Learning the guitar is hard, learning it backwards and upside down has got to be fucking mind-blowing.
It is only upside down and backwards to you.
@@stephencampbell2018 .......and millions of other players.
It's upside down, not backwards
@@UphillGardener-ly5sh backwards refer to him playing left-handed, so to me as a right-handed person, it's both 😉
@@THE_WOAT but playing "backwards" is no harder, it's quite literally no different to the way you learned how to play, the upside down strings are the stumbling block, every riff and song he played here was composed by a guitarist playing the high E nearest the floor.
I think people who try to undermine the power of Jimi's influence, I always say.. well he may not inspire you, but your favorite guitarest was inspired by him!
Real talk!!!
Yup... a lot of those old guys are like that. People may scoff at Ringo, jimi, Peter Green, bloomfield, rory Gallagher, James Burton, Elvis, or link Wray, but odds are, your heros were influenced by those people. Kirk Hammett just paid big bucks for a gibson owned by peter green and Gary moore.
Its just stubborn to the point of being ridiculous. Just restring
"Your favorite guitarist's favorite guitarist."
@@JustWhyFFS 🎯
The way he plays Little Wing is so incredible.. you can hear Jimi, and you can hear Eric's stamp on the song woven together so flawlessly. He's inimitable.
Totally killer playing.
Trower belongs among the greats, thanks for including him.
My feelings as well. Trower gets better and better. I've seen him 5 times.
Trower is awesome, I've still got an autographed ticket I got seeing a show he did 16 years ago
Robin Trower is my all time favorite! You're right up there as well Eric!!!!
Robin Trower is a legend.
No doubt.
If you were a teen in the 70s and into guitar music, you DEFINITELY had the album "Bridge of Sighs" in your record collection....A masterpiece. Every song is mind-blowing
@@alexcastro7339James Dewar's voice was so good, such a great complement to Trower's playing
Try “For Earth Below,”-all of his 70s albums were great.
Yup. I grew up on my father’s vinyl collection. When I was gigging in the 90s we threw in Day of The Eagle into the set and just crushed it. Only the older guys in the crowd recognized it. So many others thought it was ours and asked about it all the time.
Hey Eric: Thanks for the Trower shout out. Maybe underrated but you get it.
It’s really unbelievable how good he makes Purple Haze sound
Like I’ve been taking that song for granted
I know exactly what you mean!
I was thinking the same thing. I can play a lot of Hendrix convincingly, but I feel like I play this song so clinical.
A lot of people would be fine with it, but there is a subtle difference in organics that is so special. I'll nail the feel of it eventually, but Hendrix is almost a lifetime study for me.
Those plug ins are a big help but having a Strat and a tube amp can get it done
@@ginopini6484 😑 🤮
Eric is a fantastic guitarist. He does as he preaches....he embellishes all the songs he plays. His own stamp on everything.
Could listen to this Dude all day. Thanks, Eric and Guitar World.
I love Mr. Eric Gales........he is one of the best musicians ever and i would love to meet this great guy
Eric, I hope you’re reading this, from one lefty to another, you rock man!!! Thank you!!!
Eric Gales!!! Just flows out of him, spiritual bond with the guitar!! Love that Reaper riff how he weaves melody and riff at same time!!!!!!🎸🎼👍😎
Robin Trower getting some love !
Nothing compares to Trower!
He plays upside down and backwards and he's a natural right handed person. Eric has a great sense of feel and timing with great dynamics. Most of go through the motions trying to hit the notes. Eric feels and makes the sounds. Fantastic player. He reminds me of Alvin Lee because Alvin couldn't play without feeling and making the best guitar faces.
I have seen Robin Trower 3 times live .... he is awesome and LOUD!!!!
You're an awesome player, and i can't believe how you play the guitar like that, with the heavy strings on the bottom, a right handed guitar upside down, I beleive Jimi did the same ?
I discovered Eric back in the early 90s amongst the neo-blues explosion that follow the death of SRV. Eric stood out as unique for his style and technique.
I was lucky enough to see Eric Gales in Abingdon, VA in 2017. Ironically, I have a video posted of him playing Don't Fear the Reaper from that gig. It was a free show and was advertised as, 'for people who like Jerekus Singleton, SRV and Gary Clark Jr.' It was a beautiful day in July and it took about 10 seconds of his playing before my left eye got to jumpin' and I realized I was witnessing a truly gifted guitar player. Do not pass on seeing him play live. Ever.
Met Eric at a studio in Memphis in the mid 90’s. Such a kind soul and immense talent.
That's really cool.
Seen him live twice in 2023, once at tipitina'z in New Orleans, the again in Holland Michigan. Eric is a must see, and not to be missed. Truly one of the greats!. He meets everyone at the end of the show who wants to get an autograph or just say thanks. A truely fantastic guitar player and human being! Thanks Eric !
Eric Gales is one of the greats🎸. Real emotion.
Outstanding
God bless Eric and the whole Gales family. The most music gifted family on earth! Cheers from Akbou!
Agreed. His family are so friendly.
Love the Trower reference...the whole album was fantastic...his use of the univibe pedal is amazing!
Eric blows my mind every time I hear him. He's awesome. I'll never understand how he sounds the way he does playing those guitars like he does, but it's great. The proof is in the listening. Thanks Eric for being you. I am the audience, and the audience loves what your jamming. It rocks.
Beautiful soul, beautiful fingers!
Dig Eric Gales playing for many years a TOTAL BADASS!!!
Eric is legitimately one of the coolest musicians on the planet, and I’m not even talking about the music yet. One time I commented on something of his back when I was on social media and still had a phone, just a regular short comment, and this dude replied and wound up having a full on conversation with me. The dude understands what it means to be human. I genuinely love that guy.
So gratifying to hear Eric Gales recognize Robin Trower. Outside of the guitar player world, he's a relative unknown, but nevertheless, he has the most tasteful and listenable electric Stratocaster songbooks out there.
The fact he plays so many chords, arpeggios etc treble-first gives his sound a very unique attack and beauty that's just different from 'the regular way'. Combined with his massive chops and soul...just wow.
🔥🔥🔥Trower Power🔥🔥🔥
Love your take on bridge of sighs
Upside down left handed has a sound a right hander cannot duplicate. Eric is a treasure.
Absolutely!
Plus his huge hands help tremendously. Like Albert King
Fun fact about Eric is he’s not even left-handed. His older brother is left-handed and Eric just mimicked his brothers playing as he was learning and growing up.
Thanks I appreciate someone who is in my mind one of the greats... giving homage to those who came before. I hope one day those who are the future pay you the same respect! Music moves forward by innovators, just like everything else... and make no mistake my friend you are a step on the stairs!
BOC tune caught me off guard. Love BOC. So glad Buck was an influence. I saw Eric in Columbus recently. Great show. I sure would have liked to talk BOC with him after the show.
DAMN the way Little Wing breathes when played upside-down.
Cheers, thanks very much Eric and GW.
Watching Eric's hands always destroys my brain. It's such an alien way to play compared to what I've always seen and learned myself.
It’s such a badass way to play imo
Just pick up any regular guitar and flip that bad boy upside down. No need to have special left-handed guitar or restringing
Also, Eric’s not even left-handed. He just mimicked his older brother who was left-handed and played upside down
@@Biscuitsgravy924 I didn't know that!
I loved this video. Thank you Eric.
This dude is great. Beautiful feel and totally in the pocket. I need to hear more!
Thanks Eric! Your music inspired me back in 96 all the way till now, Anybody who hasn't listened to The Gales Bros Left Hand Brand is missing out. Hope to see you in California again someday.
This man knows his soul in everything he plays! 🎯
Amazing, great episode
Always a joy to listen to Eric. The joy comes through!
I love that Eric gave DFTR a shoutout. Just an all-time great song and guitar player
just one of the most unique musicians anywhere. amazing sound
Great! I remember watching Eric all the time back in the early 90s in Memphis!
Absolutely amazing
BRO! your tone is killin! I mean I know it is your playing, but the recording quality and the sound of your rig is PERFECT
Thank you Man!!!
Absolutely love Eric's playing. The dude inspires everytime he plays his guitar
You are awesome Eric. Love your guitar playing!!!!
& THANK You Brother, as you have really inspired myself & many more.
Thanks for sharing Eric! Definitely some big influences on many guitarist. Like the comment that you need to put your own twist on it!
Man where do u start with this living legend rite here, absolutely incredible wud b an understatement!
Thnk u sir for ur artistry, the passion n energy not jus for guitar but for music is infectious! Much ❤️ 2 u sir.. 🙏🏼
He is amazing live!
Thankful he's in the scene.
Eric Gales... For my money, the best we have. His touch, his total immersion in every note, his playing swings like few others. He's often quick to point out a wide range of influences but dang, this guy has Jimi in a big chunk of that DNA. On Little Wing... A member of our production crew heard a few of us backstage extolling the impact Jimi had on us and he offered to send me a copy that he had of a CD of Hendrix outtakes. Little Wing was one of them. Several renditions of that intro. All on the same progression and in that "Curtis Mayfield" chordal style but each one noticeably different from the original and from each other. That's when it occurred to me that the version every guitar player in my youth busted their asses to cop was for Jimi, just one more improvisation. Eric Gales gets it
Eric is so inspirational!
Incredible talent!!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸
Eric! Saw you in Worthing on the pier. It was Great. Love from the UK.
It’s amazing, I caught myself naturally smiling hearing him play Testify by SRV. It’s incredible how certain music/sounds resonate within us.
Buck Dharma and Robin Trower are two of my Favs for different reasons!! Remember seeing both many times in Seattle at Parkers, both sets each time on Highway 99. I miss the double sets!
Eric is amazing!
Great guitar player with great influences!
This man kills! Fantastic player and performer!
Love Eric he’s so good can’t wait to see him again
That Vibrato is coming back spot on.Sounds Great!
Eric Gales: Time to subscribe. Thank you Eric! I love your playing
I play in a cover band and i play many things differently fom the original. You been a big inspiration for me Eric. I love your style
What a guy! His `Little Wing" has a touch of magic about it.
Eric! It’s just not fair! Your thumb almost covers the whole fretboard!!! lol dude so gifted you make it look easy!
Eric is a absolute killer man !!
Had the privilege of hearing Eric in my hometown of Nottingham UK (yes Robin Hood country) It was one of the best gigs I’ve been to and I’m 55 and been to a lot.
Thanks for the soporific playing. Really appreciated
Amazing as always 🎉😮
Mr. Eric Gales seems like a very good natured, humble and grounded man.
He is definitely one of the greatest guitarists of his time...He is just fantastic !
Awesome!
beautiful playing
Love your playing bro.
Awesome man!
I saw you open for Buddy Guy in S.F. nice video here. I just purchased your latest CD.
' Evolution ' is the key word, Eric. I's inherent to the entire Universe
Very very very impressive 😊😊
Eric Gales is such a Monster guitar player 👏
Love your playing Sir
Going to see Robin Trower at the end of the month. Funny how his name keeps on coming up for me lately when I've hardly heard of him all the rest of my my life.
one of my favorites
I'm inspired by your playing and your humanity.
Amen Eric I've been playing 60 years my name is Rick furci I was watching The Beatles on Ed Sullivan and told my dad I wanted to play guitar you got it down bro got to live and eat it and think it remember sitting on the couch my mom bought me band of gypsies I'll never forget that
What a great player and cool guy
Absolutely!
I love you Man !!
Eric Gales!!!
Gives me hope and inspiration, being a lefty / righty player as well. Right hand guitar, played left handed.
Awesome player....man
One of the few that keep his music wild in this days.....
I saw Eric and his brothers at a cd release party/concert in Memphis back in the 90's. Probably the music he was working on that he mentions here in the vid, when he met SRV.
It was ar the New Daisy theater in Memphis. Man it was loud! Heavy Robin Trower influence on that record. I love me some EG!
✨Best of the best!✨✨
Trower and Dewar... fogetaboutit ! Eric is awesome and I want that guitar.
