    I mean Joe's playing more than just first position pentatonic. He's throwing in some phrygian, harmonic minor, and some diminished licks. His fast runs are just the pentatonic flurries similar to what Eric Johnson would play. Joe's playing is definitely way cleaner than Gales. But each have their own style.

    This was smokin' hot. Two fantastic guitarist and musicians. Love both guys and have for years. I love how they played off one another not trying to outdo but mesh and soar together. Also love that they did not stick with typical blues notes and patterns with almost an Eastern or middle Eastern flair wow they were burning up the finger boards. Have to give major credit also to bass and drums. They kept it solid the whole time these guys left the Universe on their solos, but had that solid bottom so they had a foundation to come back too. The folks that were there were very fortunate indeed. I loved every second of this.

    Damn Eric Gales plays like the guitar is playing itself and he is along for the ride. Just ridiculous how pure his sound is. By that I mean its not just wailing away but each note is full of emotion and feel. Some people can play a whole lot of notes and play nothing but like BB King he can make a single note give you goose bumps. So incredible.
