Eric Gales is a pure artist. While fighting his own demons, his generosity of soul, his sincerity and kindness on stage are definitely unique.

The jazzy interpretation, the sweet runs he does in the beginning, the beautiful reharmonization of the chords, and then to top it off I was not expecting a voice that rich. Absolutely incredible version.
-
This brought tears to my eyes.... not since SRV has someone brought such soul and passion to this song. This right here is another great that is standing on Hendrix's shoulders. Long live Eric Gales!
-
I normally don't like anyone doing any of Jimi's versions, but this guy takes it and runs with it. Jimi was wanting to go in the direction of a more jazz approach before he died. I think he'd like this. There's several Hendrix tribute artists out there, but this guy is his own persona. Good going!
-
Let’s not overlook his voice here, unreal how talented this guy is.
-
Jimi would be so proud
-
As much as Eric shines here (and he surely does) ... that bass is pure, thick sauce on those tasty chops
-
In my Book—Gales is top Blues Guitarist alive. There’s a whole slew of Blues shredders— But no one can play with such funk & improvised flair and energy——No one!!!!!!
-
His ability to bend the melody to any song , is unlike any other guitar I've seen. He takes a lot of chances and seems to always land on his feet.
-
The amount of different styles Eric Gales incorporates into one piece and the way he transitions into each one and molds them together as if they're one is absolutely mind blowing to me
-
I've watched Eric Gales playing this very song a hundred times and each time he finds new approachs and notes to blow my mind. Pure gold. Thanks for this upload!
-
the way he kept looking back at his beautiful wife is just golden. the way she smiled at him even made me blush! God bless their marriage.
-
Jimi is not gone, his spirit lives through many like Eric.
-
he has the soul it takes to play these songs.
-
love love love how he threw the wah pedal in there for just a brief but beautiful moment
-
Eric Gales is naturally right-handed, but he plays left-handed, even though the guitar he's using is right-handed and turned upside-down... Eric Gales is the Leonardo DaVinci of electric guitar.
-
This guy is incredible! I have never seen anyone play the guitar with the Strings reversed like his are. The melodic chords he plays are so tasteful. Amazing player!
-
I think it's about time we start to include Eric Gales in the convo with Hendrix. He is just not a copycat note for note. . .he stands on his own, in oh vative. . . feel me?
-
How have I just heard of this guy?? Thank you, YouTube algorithms! The most natural, fluid guitar playing I’ve seen in ages. So refreshing, yet he’s been around for decades. I’ve got some catching up to do...
-
I grew up with my stepdad as a close friend of Eric’s since they were kids and I use to love watching Eric just jam on an acoustic guitar back in the day just sitting around the living room as a kid.

Refreshing version. Original guitarist. Musical colours flying out of his fingers.
