I have seen Eric Gales and let me tell you he is unbelievable. It is a crime that he isn't as well known as others like Slash, Joe Bonamassa or John Mayer. No disrespect to those gentlemen but Eric is one of the most original voices on the instrument you could ever hope to see.

These guys sing way better than Eric. Eric is a bad mf on guitar. U never hear Slash singing, Eric gets 100 💯 for guitar playing and minus 85 for his singing. If he plays blues, his singing is minimal, so you're just wait for the singing to stop so the guitar can riff. Mayer, you shouldn't even compare the two. Excellent songwriter singer and guitar player.

I think Slash was really feeling this. Very good jam.

Totally agree. Eric can play circles around Slash. Slash's public persona is as a guitar god, so he has a lot to lose by getting shown up by someone most non-musicians don't know. It's all good fun though. Eric is respectful enough to hold back a little, and Slash is gracious enough to share his fame to bring up the newer generation of guitar gods. 🤘

Eric Gales just keeps getting better and better his tone was killer and he achieved next level status with that solo

Eric Gales is a phenomenon. He plays great blues rock guitar - and then he just flies off into the stratosphere. Unbelievably fast riffs. Blows my mind every time I hear him, even though I know whats coming. Great dual guitar 🎸 here!

This was before the internet. lol He was probably barely 20 years old and was just as good back then. Very nice guy too. Just like many in the world, he’s had to battle against addiction but it’s made him a wise and very humble man. He seems to be doing much better these days. 🙏🏻
