I heard before that it makes no sense that we usually use our dominant hand to pick, and instead our dominant hand should be on the fretboard."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 never second-guessed the untraditional technique."
I got to see Eric open up for King's X sometime in the early to mid 90's. As I was watching this guy absolutely kill on the guitar, a friend of his was standing next to me and informed me that Eric had just turned 17! For the rest of his set, I completely forgot I was there to see King's X play. (And I so wish I could have had the same opportunity to see Jeff Healey as well...I was amazed by him before I even saw HOW he played.)
There is no 'right' (natch) way to play guitar. Look at all the ways that humans have played the instrument.
Just look at Jeff Healey's work. Monster.
Died in 94 I think.I saw Jeff open for ZZ Top years ago. I'd never heard of him, but he blew me away.
If I ever get a chance to see Eric Gales, I won't pass it up. He's got a great combination of chops and passion.
