That's OK that he doesn't know, and he's got balls for trying it in a video. The most potent way to improve is to play with people that are familiar with things that you are not. Forces you to learn how to keep up with them however you can - and so the EXACT questions of what you need to work on in order to improve soon become obvious. It's much better than sitting in your room relying on the ole' trial and error. And even the best instructor can't 'teach you how to improvise' - it's a trial by fire of self-discovery every time.

You can tell the Captain found it really difficult to sneak into the jam with Eric. His style is so unique that finding room for those simple blues licks was tough 🤣🤣🤣 Love both these players and the captain has improved so much. Eric Gales is almost a blend between blues and Neo Soul. Love his style and wish I could play like that. It's a style that lends itself to being beautiful without accompaniment, which as a bedroom hero without a band behind me, I really appreciate

Later in the evening he played along with the last song of the set of gary clarke junior. W wearing he's tour shirt. For me he is the best guitarist ever. A weekend I'll never forget!

Eric Gales is a beast. Grew up in Memphis back in the late 80s/early 90s. There is nobody better than him when it comes to originality and true true talent. Defnitely has the Memphis dialect. He reminds me of Hill Country Blues (RL Burnside, T Model Ford, Junior Kimbrough, etc.) One has to go to Memphis to understand.

Years ago, I was in Austin, Texas watching Monte Montgomery play. Can’t remember now which club. Anyways, in the middle of the show, Monte took a break and up on the stage climbed a slender, rather ‘homely’ looking black man who had permission from Monte Montgomery to play his guitar. This man flipped Monte’s Alvarez acoustic guitar upside down, played it left handed, and proceeded to blow the minds of the people of the crowd. I don’t recall what songs he played, but he played for about 15 minutes or so. Monte Montgomery came back to the stage, gave this man a high five and a hug, and he guy pulled his beanie back down, walked off the stage, and out the door and down the street. That was upwards of 20 years ago and to this day, I’d still be willing to bet that the black man who played Montes guitar upside down and left handed, was Eric Gales.

There is absolutely no one to my knowledge that plays like Eric Gales. He plays a gumbo pot of musical genres, with an amazing sense for melody that is palatable even to non musicians, and that makes him a star above most. Just because you can do infinity on a fretboard, doesn't mean it comes together in a moving way. Eric Gales, in my humble opinion, has mastered the combination of virtuosity and melody.
