    Cory is one of the finest new acts on the scene. His playing is another level, his work rate is amazing and his humility is the icing on the cake.
    For me, as a left hander that plays lefty strung lefty, Erics playing IS alien. Most of us lefties can bang out a few chords and simple lines on a right handed/strung instrument, because there are times it the only way to sit in and jam. I think Hendrix was very proficient at this too. But to eveolve to the point that your technique is no longer about "coping" with the RH strings ... Thats Eric gale territory! Theres a liquid flowing quality to his soloing which is like nothing I have really heard others do. Genius
