@@gtgaxiola True, MonoNeon plays left-handed with right-hand stringing (lowest strings on bottom). I think this is more common for bass than 6-string guitar, since bassists rarely fret full chords.

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!

I went into the show ready to be blown away but having Eric Gales come out and pull this performance off absolutely hit me with a nuclear bomb. I hope that you will put up a video of what he said about Petar and Sonny...it was great.

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☺️

Eric Gales has gun powder pulsing through his veins. His music explodes out of him. like a super hero with a guitar.

Man, this dude really feels it like Jimi, even tho he's got a completely different vibe. But he just feels it. what a genius

Gales is the man, saw him at a small venue in omaha and he burned it down man. Melted our faces into liquid puddles right onto the floor.

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.

Never miss a Sunday show

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.

Jah’mon! I was wondering if any other alien - err…”human” listened to such bravery and control. Excellent Master Eric! I’m humbled when TheMusicUniverse sends such melodic codes😉🎶

What he has, I don't believe can be taught!

Absolutely stellar show from Cory and beyond up there. Not only did Cory to give this big moment to Eric, but he consistently shines the light on all of the other players up there when he could easily take more spotlight for himself. He’s a class act and the audience gets a fantastic show as a result!

These collaborations always make me so happy watching them share a moment and not make it a competition

this show was absolutely nuts, what a pleasant surprise this guest appearance was! thanks cory for an absolutely killer night and thanks jay for sticking around for a photo!

Eric went off ❤️🎸❤️🎸

I met this Legend in Wichita, KS at the Wave venue! Ally was there too! Rocked Old Town until the bricks were breaking! Thanks a million!

Un grande chitarrista, il numero 1.❤

What a legendary beast.

This might be the perfect solo

He's in concert later this year 20 mins from me. Can't wait to go!

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

Honestly I you don't see many players these days ripping the blues as hard as Gales does. Reminds me of some of the vicious solos that Stevie Ray would play live. Aggressive as fuck.

So cool! I saw Mr. Gales way back (2000) with B.O.C. here in El Paso. He was awesome then . . . he's even awesomer now!

Lefty like Jimi Hendrix...Fantastic🎸💥

Never expected to see this - Eric and Cory - the planets must be aligning.

ERIC GALES...THE GREAT..! 👑

I was right at the front and so this was a really awesome experience!

Have this on loop for 6 hours now..

Wow! That was crazy!!!!

This was what I needed today. He brang the fire and the band is so good behind him..just money.

One Word' Awesome!!!!

Insane. Amazing. Incredible. Damn I wish he was on the Portland dates...

Normal speed content is back! Thank you Jesus!

I never expected to see Eric gales in this one. That caught me by surprise. And I LOVE IT!

I was lucky enough to catch the St. Louis show last week, and it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen. I'm still smiling almost a week later. Go see these guys immediately!

Get to see Eric again Friday here in Raleigh… at a much smaller venue. Gonna be amazeballs as usual… and as a left handed person who plays standard right handed, I’ve been doubting that decision ever since I saw Eric play for the first time… But it’s been 35+ years so there’s no goin back now.

Beautiful and WOW !!!!❤❤❤❤

Eric is superhuman on the guitar. First saw him 30 years ago and he blew my mind then.

Another very good lefty guitar player like the GOAT Jimi

You really can't much better than that! But, you just keep on going and reaching for Galaxy's that are still out there beyond the horizon!!

Damn man! This is twice Eric has been in my backyard or close by here and NO ONE EVEN LET ME KNOW! Once in Lexington NC and now Raleigh NC!!!

I recommend this clip to my friends as an introduction to Cory Wong after seeing the clip of Meditation on a boat. The man has zero ego taking a back seat on his signature song.

Im glad to see Eric getting the credit he deserves. Absolutely killer player.

Eric Gales is one of the greatest ever!

The speed and fluidity of Randy Rhodes the blues chops of all of them.

Eric = SICKEST blues player since stevie ray !!!! (or maybe EVER). Are you INTIMIDATED? I am.

Cory, you may not remember me but I was the guy in the crowd.

Love Eric, a master and so organic, love how he keeps hitting the strings in open (although not in key) just shows the passion and feel, he doesn’t care that’s it’s out of tune, it fits in the performance. All FEELS. 🙂

Yes! I can't wait to see Eric at the Rory Gallagher fest this year in Ireland. Always the best weekend of music in Ireland. Buzzing!

One of the best!!

eric is a open conduit, he lets the musical energy flow through his finger tips. Its awesome to see and a really ballsy way to play, really puts yourself out there exposed.

You'd think this was the climax of the show, but it was like 3 songs in.

His choreography within the solo is astounding! The build ups/releases and the effects like the open string attack and the octaver thingie + that PHRASING keep the really intense flow of notes interesting... what an outstanding masterpiece!!! And... THAT BAND!!! Cory you are awesome!

Beautiful!

That's insane!

YESSIR, I LOVE WATCHING REAL FEEL AND THE TRUTH OF HOW LIFE THROWS U A CURVE BALL, BUT IN THE LORD, IT'S ALRIGHT, I TELL U AGAIN,IN THE LORD IT'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT. ROCK ON E.MAN
