Eric Gales - best guitarist of the universe!

This dude is a Top Gun of the 21st century and will go down in history that way.

For you gearheads, I tracked these clips. Eric's chain was PRS guitar into his MXR Raw Dawg pedal into his DV Mark signature combo amp. Recorded simply with an SM57 into an old Universal Audio 2108 preamp straight into pro tools, no processing. Thanks for watching!

I remember back in the early 90's seeing The Eric Gales band in the Boston Garden. Went out and bought the album the next day and have been a fan since.

Glad you posted each Artist up after the livestream. I missed out catching this one. Awesome guitarist, and super friendly when I met him a couple weeks ago. His performance blew me away.

Great pedal, Great playing! Eric is the MAN!

[fdcentrella]

You're nailing these Eric. Great playing and superb tone - looks like I'm heading towards an MXR Raw Dog of my own.

I’m totally flip out now. I’m 66 and been listening to musician all over. But you are the first I’ve seen play a guitar left handed with the guitar upside down. With the low E at the bottom. I actually thought Jimi played with the string reversed. But what your doing is mine blowing to Learn to play that way. Like all upside down and stuff. Wow. Be looking at more of your vids. Love it. I’m left handed. But play a right handed guitar. You just played all the songs I love. ZZ TOP, HENDRIX AND TROWER.NICE THANK YOU.

[FTributo]

Nice to hear Trower mentioned!
Thanks, Eric!

[TheThinker]

Eric: Sounds great! When I watched your hands, I wondered what kind of wild chords you were using. I just couldn't see how your fingers could look like that while producing the notes I heard. Then I saw it! You have the high strings on top instead of on the bottom. You make that work beautifully -- wonderful chords and everything. I admire your ability to make that work so well. Thanks for this demo.

[billk]

I’m left handed but use a left handed guitar. Not many play a right handed guitar left handed. My hats off to you.

[willw]

I never noticed he plays with the ax strung upside down! Dayum.. Eric got mad skillz

[TK-pdlb]

Hah Eric we were! Oh more. Nice tone nice PRS loved the boys with Billy since their first pte-video career and everyone was saying Robin was the next Jimi.... And Jimi.... Thanks! Stay Safe too.

[theblackphoenix]

Saw him live at the Portland blues festival!

[kyle_wagner_music]

Incredible smooth playing and articulation - inspires me to go back to the woodshed and work on that! And yeah, that's a nice sounding pedal (and guitar).

[slickcross]

So weird seeing Eric playing a PRS vs his signature Magneto guitar.
