----------------------------
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.

They played this same medley to close the show and blew everyone away. Standing Ovation, not a single person in their seat. They even had a meet and greet afterwards. Very humble and appreciative to the fans. They just informally mingled and chatted with everyone that approached them. I became a fan!

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.

I kept waiting for the drum kit to break. Holy shit that drummer hits so goddamn hard!! One of the best drummers I’ve ever heard. So glad he’s playing drums for Eric, the best blues guitarist on the planet. Near the end, he hit the symbol so hard it almost cracked in half. That dude is straight up beast. Wow. What a band, what a performance…Eric is a virtuoso.

This guy picked a guitar as a lefty and said "f**k it" and played it upside down and became his legacy. There isn't a word in the english dictionary to descibe how impressive he is. He's one of the top players on the greatest/most impressive guitarist list! I could continuously watch & get inspired from him.

@smallcock one Hendrix took a right handed guitar and switched the order of the strings (and probably had a new nut and switched saddles, maybe) to a typical left handed configuration. If you handed Hendrix a typical right handed guitar he would not be able to play the same as he usually does (if at all). If you handed Eric Gales the same guitar he would be ready to go

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!

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 5 жыл бұрын
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.

Not really, too many effects for one thing which tends to cover up many mistakes, and blurs the notes to the point of making them indiscernible. Heard better playing in garages and basements to be honest, that's a fact. Dunno perhaps this guy can play reasonably well, but he's not showing it here if he can; just a few inconsistent pentatonic runs any 2nd or 3rd year player can manage. Appears to be an overhyped mediocre player at best. In case you haven't heard Stevie Ray Vaughan's version of Voodoo Child, check it out if you want to hear awesome; blows this guy away hands down.
