Eric Gales

Post by Sustainz »

If you've not heard of this guy, you're missing out. He just rips it starting at 6:46; just take a look at the bass player shake his head in awe and admiration at 6:57 and then again at 7:34. The whole thing is just awesome. Enjoy.

He's one badass guitar player! I recall seeing him in guitar magazines about twenty years ago. Love that rhythm section he's playing with. 8)

That is correct, so if you want to figure out what he's doing by watching the video, you'll have to watch through a mirror whilst doing a handstand (or just turn your monitor upside down). :lol:
