Child prodigy Eric Gales, AKA Raw Dawg was born in Memphis, TN and started playing the guitar at the age of 4. Highly influenced by guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix, B.B. King, and Alber King, Eric started playing gigs with his bassist older brother, Eugene Gales.<\/span><\/p>\nEugene being left-handed, taught Eric how to play guitar although Eric was naturally right-handed. Without question, Eric learned how to play a right-handed guitar, left-handed. Thus, the guitar was upside-down meaning that the lower E string was on the bottom.<\/span><\/p>\nFirst signed a record deal in 1991 with Elektra records, rose the up and coming blues\/rock success of the Gales brothers. Eric Gales has collaborated and toured with many amazing musicians such as Doug Pinnick from Kings X, Mitch Mitchell, Billy Cox, Eric Johnson, Brad Whitford from Aerosmith, and much more. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\t\n\t\t
