Gary Clark Jr. - 12 Bar Blues-Jam @Jam'in'Berlin 

Raw and dirty. Just like it should be. Cheers.

Simplicity heals the soul

One of the best 12-bars I’ve ever heard. Simple, unhurried and magic in every way. Huge respect.

Gary Clark is a ridiculously underrated blues man

For those who think this is nothing special, you completely miss the point of blues music. If you judge a blues guitarist or artist based on technical wizardry, then once again, you miss the point. Blues' beauty lies in its simplicity. Nailing the feeling of blues is far more important than how fast or complex the riffs are. Gary has got that feeling. You can tell he's listened to A LOT of blues just from this simple video. That's how you learn that feeling. If you want 'wizardry', listen to Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and Eric Johnson.

I feel like I'm going through the south, on a bus, staring outside the window while these two are jamming at the back.

That has to be one of the best blues I’ve ever heard I’m a fan now

So simple yet so effective...this is what all music should be like

There's a reason one of the guitar legends asked him to tour with him. He's as authentic as they come!

Gary Clark Jr. has a new Fan :)

Nothing beats 12 bar beat blues... And it's not going away..

The Blues comes from the Heart of Lifetime Hardships, and Struggles that your Inner Soul can capture and express through Music

It's nice to see The Blues come home.

He keeps getting better and better. Definitely got his 10000 hours in now!

Brilliant, great blues, how they should be played!

Le blues c'est comme l'or, ça restera toujours une valeur sûre.

I've had the pleasure of seeing the lovely Mr. Clark several times. He continues to evolve and grow musically. I look forward to seeing him whenever he comes to town.

they got the blues!

At 79 years of age I’m loving this music!

Thank God the Blues lives on !!!

The quality of digital recording now is a pleasure to hear. The guitars sound organic, like they are in the room with us. Excellent GCjr. tones!!

So happy the blues continue. That was awesome.

I will always love this sound. It's just gorgeous.

That was absolutely AMAZING!

Thank you for reminding me of how the blues are supposed to be played. You guy's are awesome!!!!

For all of you guys saying GCJ isn't technically as good as his contemporary blues artists (as in slow speed), just remember that blues was born out of the most average people that had a gift for creating emotion through song. BB King started playing guitar bc his pastor played guitar, and he learned practically everything from his cousin Bukka White, no books, no learning about modes and complicated chords until near the end of his life . His playing is much slower than SRV or Clapton, but guess who idolized him? Fuckin Paul Butterfield and Bloomfield. The theory is that over time, to progress the genre, musicians began to employ more technicality, not to throw the older players in the dirt, but to continue their legacy. GCJ is raw, and from what I've read, grew in the same isolation as the early blues players. Derek Trucks, who played a solo basically at B.B.'s speed in front of him, was told by B.B it was "the best he ever heard it". Does that mean I think SRV or Clapton or Mayer is bad? Absolutely not, Clapton is my favorite guitarist of all time. It's two different styles of improvisation, and I don't think it's fair to say one is better than the other. And to be quite honest, in this clip GCJ has a Big Bill Broonzy vibe, one of CLAPTONS heroes

My grandpa use to play this on his gatar every day and night my grandma loved it I did to I miss him so much.. He and my grams passed away all i have is memories of them but this song he use to play helps me cope with their lost i miss them so much my heart hurts.. 😭❤

All those ole Delta legend blues man and even modern blues man, just keep it alive an healthy. just feel tha blues brotha

watch the eyes - they tell you all of the story ... Very cool experience !!! Thumbs Up

The best thing about a good blues jam is that it can turn into a conversation with no words. This was bloody amazing. Ausgezeichnet for our German colleagues! :)

Gary's listened to a lot of Jimmy Reed and hes nailed this beautifully

We're gonna be talking about Gary Clark Jr. decades from now like he's a regular ol' guitar legend (he is already to me).

One of the best grooves on earth

Nice one!! with heart and soul

I have always liked the blues great music

That's what blues is all about, every note, every sound caressed, like the lips of a beloved, without rushing with class and authenticity. Way to go.🙂👍☀️👏🎸🍒🎵🎤❤️

very nice of Mr.Clark to let this guy jam with him...and film it too...

Ughh it makes my heart want to burst!!!! LOVE IT SOOOO MUCH

Amazing, out of this world, back to my roots.

He's a magician with the pick. Disappears for fingerstyle, then reappears for picking magically!

Hell yeah! Gave me chills! Huge fan of Gary Clark jr.!! 😘👌❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is like soul food for the spirit! Love it!

One of my favorite videos ever

Clark jr was truly hitting those blues and that other guy was freakin NAILING IT! kudos to both of them

Long fingers like pointy sticks. no wonder. Lord above.... give me long fingers like pointy sticks. Amen.

I love the faces at 2:10. he is really digging and getting into the groove. nice Jam!

That shit sounds so good. That fealt so good. When it make THE listener feel good " IT" IS "GOOD." Simple And Plain. Thats why Good muzic Is Called GOOD MU!SIC.

it is almost a master class!!! I am learning. This song seems like: Before you accuse me. Amazing song

Fantastic, great blues. Well Done!!!

I always come back for daily inspiration

This man is simply great. Keep it up.

Epiphone must love him

Hey Gary... great musicianship and technical mastery. I'll be listening to you!

Looks like I discovered a new artist this morning. Gonna be a good day.

This Dude is FoReal. Bad ass Player. Talent beyond Talent.

At first I thought this was a cover or Pride and Joy by SRV. But this is just pure blues and it's amazing!

So many classic licks to take 🙏 Thank you for that camera angle.

One of the gnarliest grooves I’ve heard

This is so Hot it burnt my ears.... What a performance.

Clark's fingers are just so dang long...I got to wonder "what else COULD he ever do?" ...this man was born to play guitar!

A-mazing. I could listen all day! I just LOVE that slightly harsh, metal twang of the lead guitar.... genious!

Nice -- acoustic 12-bar blues as it should be. Will keep coming back here.

Blues is life.

This is amazing i love almost all your blues you are high talented keep it up your very good work.

such a simple sound...but what a sound it is.

Amazing. He is such an underated guitar player.

Amazing man , was in that rhythm with mind ,body and soul loved it respect 🙏 god bless

Excellent bad ass blues.

He's so talented and underrated

Playing using the guitar as voice to talk and answer playing how you express yourself is where i want to be. I have only had short experiences of it over years. I have great admiration for the guitarist that truly play with their feelings. One comes to mind David Gilmour

This is the way how to play the blues with a style and sensation of the groove.. !

goddamn look at him go , sheeit , i haven't heard such tasty blues in a while

For those who claim that GCJR doesn’t know how to play the blues. #1. You’re not a guitarist/musician #2. You’re a hater. #3. You haven’t seen him live.

This sounds like what the guitars first language would be. Like it's the fundamentals of everything and it's feeling the guitar out as opposed to just making it do what you want. It also feels like the strings are connected to his soul. Blues is deep music, it's born out of pain and suffering and resilience, as well as the ironic beauty of sorrow. It may be difficult for some people to empathize with the literal history of the blues, but anyone can empathize with that screaming sadness, that gut wrenching rage at the hopelessness of our situations. 😊

Great blues playing. It was like being at that train station yet again.

This man brins us really fingerstile and good playing.

powerful playing! and I like he's singing voice too.

Amazing!

Every great blues riff was just touched on in this little jam session 😂🤟

O sentimento é tão bom que dá vontade de errar o tempo da música pra poder ficar ali mais tempo, naquele momento q tu sente de verdade.

No esperaba menos de Gary. Además de impecable me pone la piel de gallina al ver como el rock and roll fluye de sus manos ! Cómo transmite.

I could sit and listen to this while sipping on wine all day !

Absolutely brilliant! I love it.

You gotta feel the blues in your bones 🎸

LOVE IT!!!

Damn! Gary Clark Jr set that guitar on fire 🔥! Thanks for sharing these great vibrations with the world!

Just love this music that's great Colin UK

Great blues classic

He has more swagger and cool in his fingers than I have on my whole self.

Definitely a Gary Clark Jr. fan now.

This is the blues... 12 bar acoustic delta blues is the best ... I can listen To this shit all day ... Lightnin hopkins

The most authentic piece of music I've heard in about 10 years.

Sólo por escuchar a estos genios la vida merece la pena😊😊

nothing better than the face one makes when they create sound that creates

Acoustic blues is alive and great!!!!👍🏻🔥🔥🔥

This is down and dirty and I have to come back and watch this time to time and remind myself how blues is supposed to be played. True talent.

This brings me way back to when I was young and my kid brother used to play this for me after we'd shoot crabs off the end the barrells of our bb-guns and climb the cliffside with the guard rail rope back to the wayside house. Grey skies. All blue after sad American summer afternoons at the baseball diamond. Love it.

Amazing song, some simple things could be the best things!

Hes just the BEST bluesman today!!!

I'd pay money to just sit and watch this for two hours
