Hailed as the ‘guitar world’s best-kept secret’, Eric Gales has been praised as one of the best guitar players in the world by superstars Joe Bonamassa and Mick Jagger. With an approach all his own, Eric turns heads with his authoritative tone, rich command of harmony and fast Pentatonic scale runs. If you see him live, your jaw will be on the floor when you realise he’s doing all that while holding a standard right-handed guitar the ‘wrong’ way around.
Eric tells the fascinating story of learning from his older brothers, one of whom was left-handed and played the guitar that way, and it seemed natural to Eric to also play left-handed, without changing the strings around. This all lends to his unique style.
