Do yourself a favor and go see Eric Gales live. People are all talking like this is the greatest guitar solo that's ever been done. EG plays like this EVERY NIGHT.
Absolutely amazing talent on that stage! I’ve seen Gary Clarke Jr play this live. Eric Gales is a powerhouse and has never gotten the respect that he deserves as one of the greatest guitarists of our lifetime.
I would suggest to everyone, especially if you like blues-rock or Jimi Hendrix +, to listen to his body of work. He doesn’t have a bad, okay or so so album. They are all meaty and full. One can’t say that about many artists. Often their development has a trajectory of maturity in voice or mastery of their instrument. No, Eric seems to have blasted out of the gate and never throttled back. Pick a track off any album over the years and you will not be disappointed.
