\n"\;Eric Gales is one of the best\, if not the best\, guitar player in the world"\;Joe Bonamassa

\n&ldquo\;He is absolutely incredible&rdquo\; \;Carlos Santana
\n
\n&ldquo\;How Eric Gales isn&rsquo\;t the hugest name in rock guitar is a total mystery&rdquo\; \;Dave Navarro
\n
\nIf you'\;re not familiar with blues guitarist \;Eric Gales\, go now &\; find his albums or a live show and check him out. Eric is a truly explosive guitarist - the kind \;whose playing makes scores of other guitarists wonder what the hell they'\;ve been doing with their lives. On his last album\, "\;Middle of the Road\,"\; the standout cut\, "\;Boogie Man\,"\; finds Gales teamed up with \;Gary Clark Jr. \;"\;It'\;s an amazing track that I think all will enjoy\,"\; Gales tells \;Guitar World. "\;Gary adds an extra spice that just takes it over the top. Boom!"\; \;
\n
\nHot off his tour with guitar legend \;Walter Trout\, where critics and fans alike were on their feet screaming whenever Eric took a solo. He is rising so fast now that no one can stop him. \;
\n
\nEric'\;s siblings began teaching him licks in the style of Hendrix and Albert &\; BB King at age four. By the time he was ten years old he was playing blues competitions with his brother Eugene backing him on bass. And although Gales plays a right-handed guitar "\;upside-down"\; (with the bass E string on the bottom)\, he is not naturally left-handed - he was taught by his brother\, who is left-handed\, and he never second-guessed the untraditional technique. \;
\n
\nGuitar World Magazine'\;s Reader'\;s Poll \;named Eric the "\;Best New Talent"\; in 1991. During this time he had two rock radio hits \; "\;Sign of the Storm"\; and "\;Paralyzed"\; and had spots on TV shows such as \;The Arsenio Hall Show. In 1994 he performed with \;Carlos Santana \;at Woodstock '\;94. In 1995\, he teamed up with both of his brothers to record the album\, "\;Left Hand Brand"\; as the Gales Brothers. And he has released a string of highly acclaimed albums including "\;That'\;s What I Am\,"\; "\;Crystal Vision\,"\; "\;The Psychedelic Underground\,"\; "\;The Story of My Life\,"\; "\;Layin'\; Down the Blues\,"\; "\;Relentless\,"\; "\;Transformation\,"\; "\;Live 2012"\; and now his newest\, "\;Middle of the Road."\; Of the new album\, Eric says &ldquo\;It&rsquo\;s about being fully focussed and centred in the middle of the road\,"\; Gales adds. "\;If you&rsquo\;re on the wrong side and in the gravel\, you&rsquo\;re not too good and if you&rsquo\;re on the median strip that&rsquo\;s not too good either\, so being in the middle of the road is the best place to be.&rdquo\;
