MXR Eric Gales Raw Dawg Overdrive: https://gtrgtr.uk/MXR-EGRawDawg
In the contemporary blues scene, there are few artists as admired as the ‘Raw Dog’ himself, Mr Eric Gales. A formidable player with vibe and attitude, Gales has been holding down his corner of wild, electrified blues for over three decades now.
Fusing rock and blues into an exciting and soulful hybrid, Gales adds conviction and finesse with his left-handed guitar technique, achieved with a upside down guitar that’s not even restrung for him! Watching him play is crazy, but those notes definitely speak for themselves. His tone is superb too, and he’s recently released a brand new overdrive pedal in collaboration with Jim Dunlop/MXR.
He had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Eric Gales over zoom a few weeks back and got chatting all about his MXR pedal, his left handed guitar technique, performing live and his writing process. Go pour yourself a cuppa and settle into our interview.
