Gales started playing guitar at the age of four. The older brothers, Eugene as well as Manuel (Little Jimmy King), taught the guitar songs and licks while the youngster was following the styles like Jimi Hendrix, Albert King, B.B. King, and many other artists. In 1985, young Gales began playing in blues competitions , with his brother Eugene playing bass. While Gales plays right-handed guitar “upside-down” (with the bass E string at the lower part of the guitar) but he’s not naturally left-handed. He was trained by his brother, who is left-handed and has never doubted the unconventional technique.
In the late 1990s, Eric and Eugene Gales signed with Elektra Records, and together with guitarist Hubert Crawford released The Eric Gales Band (1991) and Picture of a Thousand Faces (1993). Guitar World magazine’s Reader’s Poll called Eric Gales as one of the “Best New Talent”, in the year 1991. At the time, he was announcing two radio rock hits “Sign of the Storm” (number 9, U.S. Mainstream Rock) and “Paralyzed” (number 31, U.S. Mainstream Rock) and aired spots on TV shows like The Arsenio Hall Show.
In 2004, he contributed a cover of “May This Be Love” to the album Power of Soul: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix. In 2008, he and other guitarists participated in the touring tribute to Jimi Hendrix, Experience Hendrix. The touring group of musicians included Billy Cox, Eric Johnson, Chris Layton, Doyle Bramhall II, Brad Whitford and Mitch Mitchell (it was the last tour that Mitchell played on).
