I saw him live at Crossroads 2013, the show had Eric Clapton, Robby Robertson, Taj Mahal, The Almond Brothers, Jeff Beck, and even Kieth freakin' Richards and this guy was my favorite. Had never heard of him before but now Im a die hard fanboy
I hear ya man, no one will ever play like Albert ,or Buddy,my point is guys like Gary are keeping that sound alive and real. Warren Haynes,Derek Trucks are two of the most versitile and awesome players today covering the old stuff with new energy....
i saw him live today at Lollapalooza in Chicago. Whatever you guys say, that was one of the greatest performances i ever saw and he is amazing in the flesh. And, he really is that amazing.
Holy Shiiiiiiite - how have I not heard of GCJnr before????? Shame on all the media I have ever listened to/seen/read!!!! Gary - brilliant - I'll be BUYING lots of your stuff.
I was hearing his album for the 1st time with my blues band, Oliver White Group and the guys were already familiar with him. We all thought he was genuine and unique b/c he plays what he wants and doesn't care what folks, or the record industry thinks. His album is incredible and so is his playing. No frills and full of diverse goodness!
I am counting down the days to see this man! Reading all your post just makes beyond ready! Sept 26th The Wiltern... Good seats, Good friends and Good music. Who's coming to Cali? :) Btw...He is all over Cali this summer & everywhere else :)
Dude, that's the whole point of being a blues artist. It isn't about trying to play the same thing the same way 10 000 times. It's about expressing yourself. You don't say the same thing everytime you're happy or sad or whatever. A true artist is able to play the same thing 1 000 different ways. Listen to any other blues artist: Hendrix, Clapton, SRV, BB King, Buddy Guy, etc.
style and substance are one and the same, form informs content. let's face it, this man's style is cool and the associations that go with that are the substance. i dont think music is more powerful than images but as the old music biz adage goes, people hear what they see!
yeah, is waht i say, i think to he touch the same version in all his concert , but no, to me start to like gary clark jr, but with this, i dont know, still, i hearing the two foundry two piece version
We like musicians because of their style, not because of their substance. There are thousands of bedroom guitarists who can play more technically complicated, impressive passages than Stevie, Clapton, Winter, any of the Kings, the list goes on. Style is the personal statement aspect of music. Though I agree Gary Clark Jr. isn't doing anything TECHNICALLY impressive on the guitar, he has got a soulful style and substance that's missing from a lot of contemporary music.
The riff at 3:06 is from Fleetwood Mac's "Underway." The song lyrics are from Albert Collin's (maybe others too) "If You Love Me Like You Say." The solo at about 5:00 is from Jeff Beck's "Going Down." If you like this song, check out these other artists.. they are great.
the description should not say "by gary clark jr." it should say "covered by....". i like gary....great player, great singer....but albert collin's version of this tune was FAR superior.
he's about an 8/10. i actually can play better then him, but he has cool shades, hat, hipster boots, and he's from austin, so he has a few advantages on me....
I just heard about this guy in an article about Clapton's recent Crossroads show, so I dug up a few songs. Honestly, I didn't hear anything that I'd call "brilliant". In fact, this guy is among the weakest guitar payers I've seen in a while ( and I'm a long-time blues fan, and since the 1980's, I've seen SRV,Clapton, Trower, Cray,Roy Buchanon,Winter, Gibbons,B.B.King ,John Lee Hooker,Lonnie Mack,Coco Montoya,etc.etc.) To my ear,this guy is more style over substance, and mediocre,at best.

Dear blues, thank you for resurfacing into popular music

He's way better live than on his album !!
I was hearing his album for the 1st time with my blues band, Oliver White Group and the guys were already familiar with him.

I saw him at ACL fest last year and it was unreal. Agreed with the other comments. Simply amazing.
this was unreal live...
seeing him the 20th... he's already knocked it outta the park for me!
I always love the little Hendrix references that blues musicians make
saw him yesterday in hyde park london supporting the stones.simply awesome
Twang of a Strat, roar of a bucker all in one little monster. Favorite P'up hands down.
I MUST SEE HIM LIVE !!!!
Mr. Clark is the real deal. folks!
Fuzz bread with Blues Jam ....my perfect meal !!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!
I was there for this..
Buen trabajo.Me gusta tu música. Saludos desde Venezuela. Good Work. I love your music. Greetings from Venezuela.
I am counting down the days to see this man! Reading all your post just makes beyond ready! Sept 26th The Wiltern... Good seats, Good friends and Good music. Who's coming to Cali? :) Btw...He is all over Cali this summer & everywhere else :)
Brilliant artist, would love to see him live in Leeds, England soon.
I was here! Holy crap.
music as it should be played
Es-335's through Fender Vibro-Kings. This guy is topps and will only get better like a fine wine...
so pissed I missed him last year
Yeah man!!
like this so much..
Sickening.
Muito Bom mesmo. Aqui no Brasil adoramos o jeito como você aprecia e utiliza seus pedais de fuzz. Come back to Brasil man
great vocal work by him on this one

at 3:06 he begins to play a part of third stone from the sun from Jimi hendrix!
Great band!!
Vamos don Gary !
Rising Star!!!
Best part 3:05 "no woman no cry, No, Woman, no cry"
3:05 Third Stone From The Sun, yeaaaah Gary !
Bom demais!!!!
it's actually a Casino, not a 335. :)
totally agree with you though, the energy he gives in his performances are crazy.
IT'S IN THIS SONG
I could be wrong but this is one of the only times I've seen him use a whammy bar.
meanwhile, 3 stones away... hells yeah!
i love this. sounds like a SRV song
style and substance are one and the same, form informs content. let's face it, this man's style is cool and the associations that go with that are the substance. i dont think music is more powerful than images but as the old music biz adage goes, people hear what they see!
Like it very much :) :)
How do I make it go louder than 100%?
when are you comming back down to Brazil?
as a guitar player. this entertains the shit out of me. what the the fuck kinda guitar do you play?
when you cover a tune its your sound that comes thru .ex. led zepplin
nice
Holy shit
groovemondoe I made that word up and it fits!
Very articulate of you, he never really engaged me.
Goode Humanoration. Search for it. This kid loves God so muchhhh!
jimi hendrix, jack white, and tom morello.... all combined into one person.

So is dat fuzz..
Does anyone know which guitar Gary is using?
Gabriel Tavares hey bro he's using an epiphone how's the weather there? also called up here!
video for proof?
This is really good but I like the Foundry Two Piece version better. It has a bit more of a groove to it to me.
why is Jack Johnson on the drums?
+harrisbuild lollllll haha johnny radelat
harrisbuild cause he's stoned.....
LOL
he was tired of that acoustic guitar bullshit...

Do you aq favor: change your pusher
2:37
All I hear is Third Stone from the Sun by Jimi Hendrix...
:-D
21 People are tone deaf.
I'm surprised so many people understood that lol
ur missin erick clapton ..
Looks like Jimmuy is back
hear hear
Cody Chesnutt meets Jimi Hendrix. The failure rate is almost zero!
actually i do. and this one really does nothing for me compared to albert collins' version. still like clark....but this one just doesnt get there.
no....
not is the same shit this song in al the concerts, wtf? change drastically, i expect to hear the same song always , but no, WTF?
the guy pretty obviously speaks english as a second language, chill out
4 people dont have the blues...
Well then turn that song off and listen to this
the description should not say "by gary clark jr." it should say "covered by....". i like gary....great player, great singer....but albert collin's version of this tune was FAR superior.
he's about an 8/10. i actually can play better then him, but he has cool shades, hat, hipster boots, and he's from austin, so he has a few advantages on me....
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. He's not that great.
Ha..no.
didn't know django could play the guitar
Just my oppinion so dont shoot me but --- The first 4 mins of this guitar was annoying .... After that though he sounded awesome .. 8)
