FROM THE KID IN THAT VIDEO: HEY ALL!!! I am Jeff, the fan in the video. A friend of mine just recently linked this video to me and I am in utter-shock and disbelief over the amount of amazingly kind and generous comments on this video as well as the fact that it has reached 1.5 million views. A true dream of mine came true that night and I never in a million years thought it would garner any attention yet alone this much. It truly warms my heart and makes me feel better about the sometimes non-reassuring career path, music, that I have chosen! A few things to address: 1. I can confidently tell anyone that has any disbelief, that this was by no means planned at all! I have seen Gary perform many other times. On one occasion I was 13 and he handed me a guitar pic from the stage. Another time in 2016 I met him after a show at The Stone Pony and gave him my hat. He remembered me from that encounter, hence the comment “I don’t still have the hat,” but he had no assured knowledge I can play the guitar. He was being the truly generous person he is and took a chance on me, a chance I will forever be grateful for! 2. Thank you for all the comments, positive or negative, I take them all to heart and hope that each and every comment will only help me further my musicianship!! Although, a few of the comments about my “moving” on stage were a bit harsh, I understand where everyone is coming from and respect your point of view. I, however, was not intending to steal any spotlight or show off. I was nervous and playing with my idol in front of thousands of people. I was simply feeling the music in the same way everyone from Jerry Lee Lewis to Angus Young to Chuck Berry have been known to do. Regardless I still take all criticism to heart and hope to learn from what everyone has to say! If anyone has any questions or comments or even wants to jam or inquire about any music/booking information you can find my email and social media in the “about” section of my channel. I would be more than happy to chat! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart! Peace, Love and Music, Jeff Tallman
This is so cool man. As far as I’m concerned there are very few negative comments on this video thread. And there are always gonna be haters. Just keep doing what ur doing and rock on man
When you moved on stage you were just feeling the music as we all do when we dance. Self expression. I don't think it is something you can or should control. Rock on. Great guitar playing, in sync and totally awesome!
mark dicker the kid is actually pretty bad at guitar... he kept playing the same three licks. Maybe he was feeling the music and maybe he wasn’t. All i can say is that it is damn near impossible to feel the music as you play if you only know 1 scale and three licks
I was front row to see Hendrix months before he died. A treasure and legend. He was so ethereal in the rock and roll; his gift was magical. I am so thrilled to have witnessed his greatness. What an incredible memory for an old boomer; hey at least I CAN remember it! I was there.
I refuse to even scroll through any comments to see anything remotely negative about this; holy shit that was absolutely incredible!! What a joy to watch this young man tear it up! I’m in awe!
I agree. Go Jeff, Go! Kid had my respect just getting onstage AND shook everyone’s hand. So, he’s not SRV but he was Fukin Fantastic! But that’s really irrelevant, it would be great even if he sucked. For me, everything about this vid is positive. It’s about loving and sharing the music. Paying it forward. A dream come true and all these asses want to shit on his parade AND Gary’s generosity. Gtfo and get a life.
@@jefftallman3126 Jeff, you are a rare talent young man. Turn a deaf ear to anyone that wants to dump on your dreams, they are bitter because they know that they will never have the attitude to reach for the stars like you. Jam on man and don't forget the kindness that Gary Clark Jr. showed you, he's already a legend in my neck of the woods. Maybe someday you can do it for another teen kid with big dreams(and bigger shills).
This kid is amazing. Blues flow through his veins and takes control. Every music lover knows the feeling when they get lost in the rhythm an this guy expressed it with with fingers on the frets and a pick on strings
@@MsVan13 I lived in Austin in the 70s and used to go see Stevie Ray at Steamboat on Wednesday night for a couple of bucks. Don't forget Rome Inn and Soap Creek Saloon...great years for Blues.
There is no question, Jeff, that you have the passion and it poured out of you tonight. You are destined for a lucrative career as a master blues musician. Great performance!
Sad that I just stumbled on this awesome performance. Gary Clark Jr, you were outstanding 👏 you seen the kid enjoying his dream and you smiled the whole time as he was pouring his soul to play with you.
This kid FEELS every note and beat with everything he is. That’s not dancing. That kid probably couldn’t dance if you paid him to learn. But he can feel music down in his soul, probably better than most can even just hear the music. Own it kid. You’re doing great.
I can’t even play tissue paper & comb but have been fortunate enough to experience music of all genders. All of the best musicians I’ve ever heard didn’t just play their music, the Best of the Best always seem to FEEL the music; the MUSIC captures their souls & seems to take them to a Different Plane of Existence. If you’re fortunate enough, you’re able to follow & share the wonderful Zone of Existence this can open for you, be it classical, jazz, Ho lie tonk
I play blues songs, but I have a little too much dirt, and it comes out being more rock, but I don’t think anybody would even know what It as to begin with feel ever note
He definitely has an old soul and what a treat to have this once in a lifetime opportunity Fantastic and way to project what you feel from the inside out Ahhhhhh how music should be. Godspeed young man ... You nailed it and haters be jealous Do what you do and you will surely be awesome
I love how he didn’t try to do any crazy shit he just purely vibed and grooved with soul and restraint beyond his years. This man got the sg and went full angus young. Always go full angus young.
Kid put on a show... unless you've been on a stage in front of hundreds to thousands, you don't know how you'll act/move/perform... those first time nerves can either make you or break you! It made this kid! Props to Gary Clark, Jr.!!! Awesome!!!!!!
Joe Bonamassa toured locally with BB King when he was 12. Gary will probably see a video in the future of one of those kids telling 10,000+ people at an event that he got to play with Gary Clark Jr.
My dads a musician for over 47 yrs...that kid jumped on stage...SHOWED RESPECT... and turned guitar with card wrapped around his foot and nailed the song and performs like a rock star...kid u got a future...basically set ur price for ur PROFESSIONAL career as a musician.
Gary Clark Jr is a class act! He brings this young man up on stage to do what he loves to do and knocks it outta the ballpark! I'm sure this young man will go far in life :-) Thank you, Gary
People giving a thumbs down don't know talent. Holy hell that kid can play! And Gary Clark Jr just allowed him a chance he'll remember the rest of his life! Love Gary don't think he's heard enough on the radio!
To all the people hating on this kid he just got on stage with one of his idols and absolutely smashed the song no matter what expressions made u can’t deny the lad is skilled and relished the moment
Some dipshit on another thread said he was a guest and needed to act like it and show some respect. I thought it was the single dumbest thing I’ve ever heard in my life. Stand there and shut up kid. Some people.
A rare example in the conflicted and frequently unjust world in which we live, of the triumph of all that can still right in one perfect moment that captures the triumph of good over bad. The kid shows unbelievable chops and poise. GCJ and his band of consummate professionals support the guest and let him enjoy a few moments breathing the rarified air of being a star on stage playing before a generous audience, loving it and lapping up. Hugs to one and all. Every time I'm down, watching this always puts a smile on my face.
This is why Gary is awesome. He was thinking “I was that kid years ago.” He understands and appreciates young people that love blues music. Kudos Mr. Clark. And to this guy. Nice shredding!
Man, that young man will think about this the rest of his life! Thanks to Gary for being so cool and allowing Jeff to fulfill his dream of playing with him. Coolest video I've seen in a while.
The kid was so pump up could hardly contain himself thought he was going to have a seizure lol, showed a lot of respect by shaking everyone's hand, he will remember this for the rest of his life major props to Gary Clark Jr and the band
that was incredible! the only thing better than Jeff's playing was Gary's graciousness in sharing the stage and giving this young fan a once-in-a-lifetime memory! (and Gary looked like he really enjoyed it too!)
it depends Gary should have engaged him w/ the guitar instead of stopping him....lots of insecurity from artists n working professionals.....in the music industry
Man, that’s excellent! Awesome that GCJr brought the kid up but he looked so happy that the kid fell right in! Jeff was amazing, he owned that stage. His fills were great and his solo was great! Hats off to the both of you.

Wow, that was brilliant! I have cramps in my cheeks from smiling through the entire thing. Gary Clark is class.
I think this was an incredibly kid gesture, and Gary not only didn't run him off, stage he took a back seat to the kid. Whew I knew I like Gary, but damn.
It's possible this was planned. The kid was setting the amp and they just let him do that. Imagine if he was playing with the volume. The sound guy would have freaked out.
You guys are fooled tho. That’s not just some kid. Gary is bullshitting everyone there. He knows the kid or what everyone knows as the incredible Quinton
@@adriandavis9279 I had 12 beautiful seconds with Banda MS and that was way way WAY before the snoop dog thing. But this is way cooler. That was just cool because I'm the only white guy. This is legit good.
The young man rocked. He feels the blues with whole body. I closed my eyes and was rocking somewhere away. Thanks to Gary for the duo. I want more 😏 Young bro amazing!!
Man this kid has so much enthusiasm on the stage, I was worried he was about to accidentally unplug himself especially on that one solo. Love seeing that energy!
I swear I watch this at least once a day. I can’t help myself. It’s one of the few amazing moments in someone’s life. To experience that moment through him - what a feeling!
Thank you for your words, instead of jealousy I can now live it through him! Great little insight I got by reading your comment. This guy has style!!! 😊😊😊
People who do not play guitar just do not understand, when your in the pocket and doing something you have dreamed about since starting to play you don’t realize your moving, just jamming and feeding off the audience! Great job
Freaking awesome guitar skills this kid has. Totally into the music. Wicked skills!! Kudos to Gary for bringing him on. I'm feeling hendrix vibes from this kid!!
Can’t help coming back routinely and having a blast like I was with him in that passionate heat of his moment! Truly blessed to have an opportunity of a lifetime! Congrats talented young man; you deserved all the accolades! Continue to have fun and enjoy the greatest gifted talent.. guitarist and performer! Love you.
This is the Proof that Gary Clark Jr. is a Great American sharing his dream with a talented young man and giving his fans a FAN-TASTIC performance !!! GCJr. is a musician that can only be heard if you reach for the Top Shelf !!!!
I had never heard of Mr. Clark until he was the musical guest on SNL. I was totally blown away. I grew up with the likes of King, Hendrix, Vaughan, & Clapton. To know that there is another guitarist who has picked up the torch & is delivering stellar licks & great vocals brings a smile to my face. Yes!
Its 630am and I'm in a hotel in Charlotte on business and I'm jumping up and down shouting while watching this. Bet the ppl in the next room hate me lol but this excited me to no end!!! This FIRED ME UP!!! It's so good to see the younger generation making REAL MUZIK! GOOD FOR YOU JEFF!!! Kudos Gary Clark Jr.!!!
When my son was 16, the lead trombonist of the Alabama Symphony did the same thing for him and he definitely stepped right on up. It was a big life moment in both if our journeys and what a giving person to do that for someone else. My son pursued a career in music, including obtaining a masters degree and is now in the Navy band. Small actions make such a difference. Thank you to that person and to Gary Clark, Jr.
You can tell how this kid is moving around on stage even before they even start playing that he's excited and nervous at the same time he'll never forget this the rest of his life
So many lame comments about this kid dancing like Angus Young. He was just going with what he felt in his heart/soul. That must've been quite a moment for him up there. Let him have that.
Kid was probably buzzed for like 3rd time in his left, he gets on stage w/ the man he paid to go see & yes, he was dancing like a fool but loving every second of it.. Mad props for GC for doing this. (
This kid just had the best gift any 18 year old could have. I love it. His playing was awesome and sounded great with the band. Gary is a phenomenal class act for this.
I think he did a great job! He was having a great time on stage those of us that are musicians understand that it’s not always about trying to look cool it’s about feeling the music and letting the sound come out of us in anyway possible. He killed it. Congrats to everyone that was an awesome performance!!
He is simply an old soul that kid ..extraordinary skills to play the blues like that and he feel every note he picked .he ripped it up with his idol..so far this is prob one of the best you tube vids this year..magic shit !!
Holy moly!? This kid is a phenomenon beyond all reason! I never seen nor heard anyone on this level of phenominity! His talent, dedication, love of music and level of dedication is beyond all reason reason! Omg he is phenomenal beyond words. I am so profoundly impressed! What a God given talent he has been blessed with. You go boy!!!
I had never heard of Gary Clark, but I have now. What a great thing for him to do! I'll be looking for more music from Gary and I appreciate his heart.
This took some serious balls. Props to Gary for calling him up and congratulations to the fan for giving it 100%. That short 7-note run at 6.19 is nice.
Not only is he talented, but he respects when attention should be put on him or the vocals. This is his moment to shine, but instead he played with the band, emphasizing what he needed to and then doing his job the other times instead of taking away from the song by trying to "showcase" his talent. I really respect that
That was amazing.. at first he looked a lil awkward but after he got going the kid flowed with the moment and became one with the guitar. That was badass his moves were him feeling the music.. Amazing kid:you Rock!
Love it !!! The kid was feeling it... that's what its about. I don't know him, but Gary thanks for giving this guy a chance. Could be life changing... I know he'll never forget it. :)
I've never even listened to this man, or do I listen to this specific type of music but this guy has definitely earned my respect, what a memory for that kid. He just changed somebody's life.

Bro got up on stage and went fully immersed. This is why I like to see live music!!!
oh yeah
Yessss!!!!! Fuck yes!!
IT's also why I come to UA-cam to play and watch live performances. So fun to see old and new talent.
Jimi Hendrix once said it's easy to play the blues but harder to feel the blue....that boy was feeling it ;)
Nice language to expose a young artist musician to. Clean it up.

Hat's off to Gary for letting this young man tear it up.
Established players always get a kick out of somebody coming up to the stage and playing great. I'm NOT surprised.
You all fall for this?!! Not one person thought that maybe this was set up?!
@@header0585 the kid said it was not planned at all and that Gary never heard him play before. But they had met briefly from previous shows.

This kid is amazing. Blues flow through his veins and takes control. Every music lover knows the feeling when they get lost in the rhythm an this guy expressed it with with fingers on the frets and a pick on strings
He’s learning showmanship
I remember when Gary was that kid, sittin on the curb of 6th street in Austin's bar scene tryin to get in and play. That's called "FULL-CIRCLE"
It’s a wonderful thing when a star like Gary or Lance Lopez up on stage to jam with them!

Nailed it.

One of the kindest and most meaningful gesture from an artist to a fan I have ever seen. Props to Gary....for being open to give it a go.
why we love him in Austin
I've seen him play in Germany last year where he let a fan play as well. This is so badass cool
Foo Fighters do this a lot too. Love to see this.
@@rattlesnakechick4085 - Reminds me of when Joe Richardson used to bring GCJ up to play when he was about 10-11 years old at Joe's Generic. :-)
Andrew Katana the world needs more kindness such as this.
The blues is more than a genre of music. It's an emotion expressed in music.
Music is what emotions sound like.

Adrian Davis #humblebrag
Kid on stage with Steel Panther...
Kiss guy with Foo Fighters MONKEY WRENCH!!!
@@adriandavis9279 I had 12 beautiful seconds with Banda MS and that was way way WAY before the snoop dog thing. But this is way cooler. That was just cool because I'm the only white guy. This is legit good.
anyone who can play like that can dance ANY WAY THAT HE WANTS!!!
Your god damn right... Play on young man
Noooo this was terrible.
Randall Marsh word
You said it straight, Damn right! Very well versed!🎸🎶🕺💕
@@GavinSummers his playing wasn't the dancing was tho.
The young man rocked. He feels the blues with whole body. I closed my eyes and was rocking somewhere away.
Thanks to Gary for the duo.
I want more 😏
Young bro amazing!!
Gary Clark Jr. is cooler than the other side of the pillow...
Love this comment! RIP Stuart Scott!
Brad Biggs
Fuckin A brother!
Cooler than a polar bears toenails.
Best analogy
Cooler than a penguins ass!
Man this kid has so much enthusiasm on the stage, I was worried he was about to accidentally unplug himself especially on that one solo. Love seeing that energy!
You could tell this kid was truly a fan. Added his own flair but stuck true to the song and definitely added something to this performance.
I swear I watch this at least once a day. I can’t help myself. It’s one of the few amazing moments in someone’s life. To experience that moment through him - what a feeling!
Courtney Smith I guest I’m not the only one🙂. True star in the making
Thank you for your words, instead of jealousy I can now live it through him! Great little insight I got by reading your comment. This guy has style!!! 😊😊😊
and they CNN tell us there s a race problem in america, i say the few assholes come in all colors and races, god bless gary,the band and jeff
i love when celebs especially musicians do this kind of stuff for theirs fans, God Bless Mr. Clark
Just freaking beautiful!! Seeing fans rock out with famous musicians is the best!!
It’s pretty hard to play the blues wrong when you have this much heart. Well done, my man
People who do not play guitar just do not understand, when your in the pocket and doing something you have dreamed about since starting to play you don’t realize your moving, just jamming and feeding off the audience! Great job
When you're in the pocket its almost like you blackout. The rest of the world disappears.
It's totally different feeling the energy of crowd and playing off it! You either love it or the pressure crushes you.
Freaking awesome guitar skills this kid has. Totally into the music. Wicked skills!! Kudos to Gary for bringing him on. I'm feeling hendrix vibes from this kid!!
Who cares about the moving around, get him some pants that fit😂
Can’t help coming back routinely and having a blast like I was with him in that passionate heat of his moment! Truly blessed to have an opportunity of a lifetime! Congrats talented young man; you deserved all the accolades! Continue to have fun and enjoy the greatest gifted talent.. guitarist and performer! Love you.
When opportunity knocked, he answered the damn door!
Rip Sumrall he didn’t just answer. He ripped the door of the hinges and drug opportunity’s ass inside.
Broke that shit down
@@michaelwilliams2764 then served up a whole lotta DAYUM!!!!!
Lovely thing of Gary to do! The young guy looks like he's totally over the moon, and having the time of his life. What an 18th birthday present! 😊
So many talented kids out there. Thanks for letting him show his talent!😝
The guy who captured and uploaded this video is the man!
Gary is the man for bringing this young man on stage. Both of them have class.
Falstaff you said it all...damn straight!!!!
Any musician will tell you, it isn't how you play the notes, it's how you FEEL the music... This kid feels the music! Excellent job!
When I listen to music, I can tell when a performer is feeling the notes rather than just seeing notes
any musician will tell you that feeling the music is usually just boomer bends and making weird faces
I love that guy, his energy is amazing
Ty buddy
This is the Proof that Gary Clark Jr. is a Great American sharing his dream with a talented young man and giving his fans a FAN-TASTIC performance !!!
GCJr. is a musician that can only be heard if you reach for the Top Shelf !!!!
I had never heard of Mr. Clark until he was the musical guest on SNL. I was totally blown away. I grew up with the likes of King, Hendrix, Vaughan, & Clapton. To know that there is another guitarist who has picked up the torch & is delivering stellar licks & great vocals brings a smile to my face. Yes!
Lawd lawd lawd. How many of us have dreamt of a moment like this. Smiles and chills the whole time. Awesome!!
Sounds like this picker is on his way..stay original,and fuck some shit up..ya...!
The man who started the “Jeff Chant” is a legend
Its 630am and I'm in a hotel in Charlotte on business and I'm jumping up and down shouting while watching this. Bet the ppl in the next room hate me lol but this excited me to no end!!!
This FIRED ME UP!!!
It's so good to see the younger generation making REAL MUZIK!
GOOD FOR YOU JEFF!!!
Kudos Gary Clark Jr.!!!
When my son was 16, the lead trombonist of the Alabama Symphony did the same thing for him and he definitely stepped right on up. It was a big life moment in both if our journeys and what a giving person to do that for someone else. My son pursued a career in music, including obtaining a masters degree and is now in the Navy band. Small actions make such a difference. Thank you to that person and to Gary Clark, Jr.
Watch Gary's face when the kid does his solo, he has the biggest smile and looks so impressed it's cool to watch
You can tell how this kid is moving around on stage even before they even start playing that he's excited and nervous at the same time he'll never forget this the rest of his life
So many lame comments about this kid dancing like Angus Young. He was just going with what he felt in his heart/soul. That must've been quite a moment for him up there. Let him have that.
Broooo he probably doesn’t even normally do that shit when he plays but he was so cranked on andrenaline that’s just what his body was doing
just think what this young man will be when he gets older???
He can feel it you dumb asses nuff said..
Given a chance like that with my hero, i sure as hell would have done worse...kid was having a ball that's damn what matters
Kid was probably buzzed for like 3rd time in his left, he gets on stage w/ the man he paid to go see & yes, he was dancing like a fool but loving every second of it.. Mad props for GC for doing this.
(
Jeff, I love every minute of your debut. Son, you rock! You made my day, I hope you get as famous as the blues artists you played with! Rock on!
This kid just had the best gift any 18 year old could have. I love it. His playing was awesome and sounded great with the band. Gary is a phenomenal class act for this.
EXCEPTIONAL GESTURE by one of my Favorite Artists! Great Job Jeff. Gary Clark, Jr.... I Salute You Brotha! Bravo!
just great I really enjoyed thisvideo such talent fun to watch this young man play liks a star
I'd like to give some credit to who ever is recording. Props for maintaining a perfect visual
clearcup YES!!! And holding their phone sideways!!! That must always be appreciated!
So damn right
right!!!!! agreed!
Mark Kim is the one you're talking about that's holding perfect visual.
Yeah maybe they should have just been quiet in the beginning of the video...
I think he did a great job! He was having a great time on stage those of us that are musicians understand that it’s not always about trying to look cool it’s about feeling the music and letting the sound come out of us in anyway possible. He killed it. Congrats to everyone that was an awesome performance!!
He is simply an old soul that kid ..extraordinary skills to play the blues like that and he feel every note he picked .he ripped it up with his idol..so far this is prob one of the best you tube vids this year..magic shit !!
Holy moly!? This kid is a phenomenon beyond all reason! I never seen nor heard anyone on this level of phenominity! His talent, dedication, love of music and level of dedication is beyond all reason reason! Omg he is phenomenal beyond words. I am so profoundly impressed! What a God given talent he has been blessed with. You go boy!!!
I had never heard of Gary Clark, but I have now. What a great thing for him to do! I'll be looking for more music from Gary and I appreciate his heart.
Hard to believe they were calling Gary the next Stevie Ray 5 or 6 years ago
GCJ manager sees this comment and will think, I told you so Gazza! Lol
Neither have i.but I sure know who he is now.the man definitely has my respect.
When humanity fails us time and time again rock saves our souls and moments like these change life's
The Pick of Destiny has been sighted once more.
brilliant
Thought I noticed it
@@jefftallman3126 I just realized you are the guy on stage playing. Congratulations man, that was amazing!! Keep playing.
This took some serious balls. Props to Gary for calling him up and congratulations to the fan for giving it 100%. That short 7-note run at 6.19 is nice.
Jeff is absolutely amazing! He can rock that guitar like any other of the top guitarists out there. Rock on dude!
This gave me goosebumps watching that kid play his heart and soul out on stage I could not imagine the range of emotions that he was going through.
This kid had his moment,,,,,wait....TOOK his moment!!! Dude...happy birthday, and way to own that shit bro!
that's insane .. Amazing!! Greetings from germany
WOW! Thanks Gary Clark Jr. you made that kids whole next year. We will surly see him gracing the stage in the future.
Props to the legend Gary Clark Jr and to "Jeff" u did amazing bro. Proud of you and I don't even know you
His enthusiasm is so sweet…to have a Grammy performer actually allow a fan up on stage shows there is no ego…refreshing….kid can play
Not ashamed to say this brought chills and then tears of pure joy for the moment! Music is power!
Mr Clark sir, you have the soul of an angel. Respect for giving someone an opportunity to share their love of music with you, thank you.
Not only is he talented, but he respects when attention should be put on him or the vocals. This is his moment to shine, but instead he played with the band, emphasizing what he needed to and then doing his job the other times instead of taking away from the song by trying to "showcase" his talent. I really respect that
That was amazing.. at first he looked a lil awkward but after he got going the kid flowed with the moment and became one with the guitar. That was badass his moves were him feeling the music.. Amazing kid:you Rock!
Kids got "Big Balls!"
Proud of him!.
To see Gary Clark Jr smiling happy for saw the guy playing: will never have a price, unique moment 😃👍🏼😅👍🏼
Love it !!! The kid was feeling it... that's what its about. I don't know him, but Gary thanks for giving this guy a chance. Could be life changing... I know he'll never forget it. :)
Now that is what i call fan dedication and reciprocal artist love! We should see more of this!
This brought a tear to my eyes
I've never even listened to this man, or do I listen to this specific type of music but this guy has definitely earned my respect, what a memory for that kid. He just changed somebody's life.
Me to man...sooo freaking cool and dude man killed it!
