The number of upside down guitars outnumbered right side up that night.

Eric gales can bring world peace with this solo

Does anyone have more talent and less of an ego than Cory Wong? He's an ace who hand built his fighter jet, and is just as eager to hop in the back seat and run the radios while some else flies it, and seems delighted by what he sees. Props, brother!

Eric Gales is stupid good. A true Jedi who is one with the flow.

[Trent-trnx]

This video made me think about how amazing a Derek Trucks collab would be

[Dave-nmxc]

Every time I've ever went to an Eric Gales show, I left exhausted. Every show was an emotional rollercoaster, and a religious type of experience. It takes a special talent to do that!

[ibalrog]

This man is playing that guitar to within an inch of both of their lives.

[daveedson]

This is absolutely disgusting in the best possible way. When Eric unleashes like this, I can feel his deep gratitude for being alive because he knows he's dodged death more than once. Thank you so much for making this happen.

[JMurdochNZ]

How did Eric's guitar not catch fire? Absolute legend.

[emberos]

players like sonny, eric, and mono neon are beginning to make me feel like it's us and not them that are holding the instruments upside down 😂

[ericdoyle]

I was at this show and was absolutely blown away by the level of playing by everyone. I wish they included Cory's comment at the end, "now that's a lead guitar player". So fortunate to have seen this live.

[Tedmaul]

I met Eric Gales after one of his UK shows last year and reminded him he was still due a collab with Cory... a live Eric solo on my favourite Cory track? That'll do nicely☺️

[Furiius]

I try not to look up Eric Gales on YouTube and binge through it all in one night. I love when I occasionally stumble upon him in videos like these and get blown away every. single. time. As if it was the first time I heard and see him play. What a legend. 🙏🏻

[JBG]

EVERY GUITAR LEGEND HAS THEIR MOST AMBITIOUS. EFFORTS HAVING SAID THAT. MR. ERIC GALES IS CERTIFIED
#1 GUITAR PLAYER IN THE WORLD 🎉

[andreabertollini]

There are great guitar players, there are legends and then there is Eric Gales.. God bless you Eric

[CallToGrid]

I'm crying. Some people are on this planet, and we know why. Eric Gales is one of them. The 'cat is kinda like Jeff Beck. Flies just below the radar. HIs runs are just sick. And he's playing upside down, so different phrasing. Dude is humble too.

[patricioalbarracin]

Im a musician... 30 years playing músic... This skinny White guy, Cory... He gave me back the pleasure of listening inspired performances every single Time i listen to him... Thank you Cory, you make me love music more every single day

[yoworob]

What a great show - blessed to be there and glad to be able to relive it. For Cory to hand off what is usually a big solo moment for him to Eric was not only beautiful and graceful but wise!

[tallyankeegal]

I've owned guitars longer than this guy has been alive...and I never hear of him till the algorithm paid off...I'm freaking all kinds of impressed! WOW!

[sensiblynumb]

EG is just a deity on the strings. I can't get enough of that raw feel and emotion. The man is a genius!
