Because it makes perfect sense to you, but trying to explain it to someone who's never even picked up a guitar makes you look like a bad teacher even if you're not at all 😂 and you want to be supportive so you're just like "yup something like that" @bleekomajeeko8626
I love it. I remember messing up chords and timing infront of a much better guitar player when I was a kid and kinda apologising to him, and he responded with "nah that sounded cool. If it sounds cool, then its 100% correct." that I have carried with me everytime I've played on any instrument. Imperfection is what its all about.
I got to work with Nile Rodgers when I was an engineer at Interscope. He told me to play on his guitar and give it love anytime even if he's not there (we were recording Avicii True album at the time). It was his white strat (famous guitar called "the billion dollar guitar". Then had a session like three days later with some writers from Canada and I was tuning up their guitars and getting signal routed to Pro Tools and one of the guys came in and yelled "Hey you cant play someone's guitar without asking them, and ripped it out my hands lol what a tool I thought in my head I literally just had Nile Rodgers tell me to play all the guitars lmao. Never saw them in a session moving forward for past 12 years...
One enlightening moment that I experienced came during one of my first lessons at Music school in Hollywood. As my new teacher Ed Finn saw me carefully take my guitar out of its gig bag and get ready to play one of the first things he said is “treat your guitar like a bad dog, grab it by the neck and control it”. What I got out of it is not to be an animal abuser but You don’t have to be so careful, it’s meant to be played. That’s where I started to see the separation of music and expression from the tools that you use. That’s exactly what they are- tools that you use and are meant to take whatever you decide to use them for, so use em! @edfinn
Agreed. This didn’t hit the same with all of the production. I’d like to see him do more acoustic in general. Gives the song a much more personal feel.
I feel you. We as artists can feel others so much. Especially as an empath. I feel everything, like the open wounds of the world. But as a song writer I wouldn’t want it any other way. Hell as a human being.
I started the second day of covidhysteria, i took up the guitar and played for hours, every day. Tv out in the garbage. Did never stop, less now. But i pick it up every day. My best friend is my teacher, he has been playing 45 yearsish. And youtube. If you wanna learn it, it is practice, practice and more practice. And never give up. We having a blast every wednesday for 3 hours, playing blues, rock.
That’s super cool, I’m happy for you man. A lot of people kind of scoff at the whole “it’s never too late to learn something” and dismiss it as being corny but it really is true.
As a long playing guitarist, a fan of Gary Clark Jr., Joe Rogan, and the JRE; this has to be the ultimate wholesome moment in jre history for me. The legendary E chord, she's gets us all
I got a strat style guitar for my 14th birthday (a Peavey Predator). I remember laying on my back, guitar on my chest learning/practicing my first chords. The experience of feeling that solid-body guitar vibrate my ribcage changed my life from that moment on. Still gives me chills. ❤🎸
I feel that man. I really got into guitar at about 9 or 10, then my brother got me a Squier Strat for Christmas when I was 14. Your comment reminded me of that great memory. Thank you.
8:05 "That was fun. I get it now." Super wholesome Rogan moment haha. All us guitar players remember the moment when the instrument had us hooked forever.
If it's anything like taekwondo, archery, or pool, compulsive Joe will be Jimi Hendrix in 2 years, and The Joe Rogan Experience will be an actual band.
5:52 Its so fun teaching your friends to play a chord for the first time. Love how eager Gary is to get up and help Joe. Crazy it’s on a 12 string. Joe’s a natural 🎶
When a brand new guitar student ALSO has nearly unlimited budget for any gear he wants right out of the gate. Can't wait to see Joe's pedal board in about six months.
Best part of Gary's music is that no matter how it sounds in the album or live with keyboards,zapata on the back, effects, production and whatnot... you know he can play that shit in an acoustic guitar Watching him playing When My Train Pulls In or Brights Ligths in acoustic is such a treat Gary come to Czech Rep again man, we need you here Gary is everything that is right with the blues and music nowdays. An absolute unit of a player, singer and composer
I have loved Gary Clark Jr.'s music since his 2014 live album. This song right here is a classic. His phrasing and chord inversions are dripping with cool. He is one of very very few musicians that sound better live than on a digital download. This video proves it.
Nothing beats playing on a stage for alot of people's loudly your own music. "pushing air" if done right, will heal your soul, is beyond anything i could explain in words. Its magical. Just make sure you play what moves you, not what you think others want. When you play from your heart. They will hear it. Good jam
@@JusMeandMehSelf it takes about 30 seconds to pick up a guitar and mess with it. I’m saying he’s been on earth for over 50 years how has he never messed with one
@@bruv1039 nobody understands my point. I’m not saying “how has he never tried to learn it” just how has he never picked one up and played around with it. I’ve never owned a guitar in my life and I’ve messed around with plenty of guitars
I really hope Joe get obsessed with it. I've been playing for 28 years and i can totally say that its such a great road too travel. Nothing gives me the gratification that putting a smile on peoples faces when playing a song they love. It also gives you an outlet for all emotions. If your sad??? Write an instrumental that conveys that. You'll feel great all the sudden. No pills. No therapy. No cost. Its your world and the canvas is yours to paint. Can't recommend it enough.
Please get John Mayer on the podcast. He would be an excellent guest. A very knowledgeable guitarist and speaker on everything music. Watch his recent interview with Rick Rubin.
who separate studio bought and set up with sound proof booth, state of the art 40 channel mixing soundboard, hardware compressors, delays & reverbs, Dynaudio stacked next to some NS10s...
Incredible chord progression. He is a fantastic singer and writer, and performer too, that was great to watch live. I would have expected to cringe at this
As a guitar player, watching somebody’s first interaction with it is always joyous. It’s like watching your son learn to ride a bike on the same bike that your father taught you on.
Joe has incredible physical IQ, ive never seen someone strum a chord so well the first time they do it, he did it sooo smooth, most do it too hard or jilted, i cant believe he strummed it that smooth
This might be the best song I’ve ever heard, hit me like a freight train. Performed effortlessly, pure talent. I love this guys energy, I can tell he has pain that inspires his art. I can see it in the eyes, a true artist. ❤ on the sleeve, took me by surprise.
@@whitehh15It's not about finger strength with a 12 string. It's about dexterity and precise finger pad pressure. In fact gripping too tight is a problem most beginners have. The key to any good guitar technique is finding just enough pressure to get a clean note without squeezing the shit out of the neck, which will strain your hand/wrist. That being said, yeah a 12 string probably shouldn't be something you learn on if you can avoid it.
Cant express how happy that made me watching Joe learn the Open E chord and instantly getting that rewarding feeling you get when you produce a musical sound on an instrument... You just know if he does start playing guitar hes going to have all the equipment i can only dream of having ❤❤
It really is that addicting. I watched Texas Flood live @ the El Mocambo by Stevie Ray Vaughan ~3 years ago and bought a guitar shortly after. Haven't put it down since.
I saw Van Halen: Live Without A Net in 1986, begged my dad for a guitar for my birthday that same year and I'm still playing too. Once it gets ya, it's got ya.
I've seen Gary live and he is phenomenal. One of the best guitar players of the last few decades. I know Joe has been rocking out to him since Gary's last album
I listened to this version and loved it. then heard it with a band and wanted to hear this one again. This one has more feel. I love the groove of this one way more.
Pretty cool. Reminds me of carson. Joe is cool. Alot of people hate on him but hes really a good role model. Young at heart. My dad is his age but looks 70 because he didnt take care of his body
Bro this made me so happy. I've been playing since I was 5 born in 97 and grew up watching Joe my whole life and it's so cool seeing him light up with excitement playing those cords.. on a 12 string at that. Someone give this man an electronic imo they are easier to learn on with bigger hands as acoustic strings are harder on your fingers especially learning, not that you can't many have but those who have played will know what I mean.
That look of being completely absorbed and enamored with chasing the dragon on an instrument. I forgot how satisfying it was just to be able to make those first few sounds. I had a similar moment to this as a teenager but I dove in head first and have yet to look back.
When Joe said “I can see how this can get very addictive “ gave me a flashback to being 10 years old learning the first few chords and he’s 100% correct. 21 years later I’m still addicted to it hahaha
G.C.j is an incredible artist... The whole globe loves YOU! You just picked up the 12 string and made her SING WE LOVE YOU (Globally) Amazing song, your album has been bought and downloaded, I'm also looking for the vinyl. Love and RESPECT to YOU! from the UK England!
Man for somebody's first time playing that was really impressive. Especially on the 12 string. He did a good job at not letting his fretting fingers touch (mute) the strings that need to be audible. I think Joe would learn very quickly.
As a guitar player, this was awesome to watch. First a great performance, then good ol joe picking the darn axe himself. yeehaw brotha. Like a spirtual experience. rock on boys! album coming soon haha
That was great watching Joe trying to get his fingers to move a way they aren’t used to doing. I’m 58 and started playing 2 years. Amazed at how far I’ve come. I agree if one works at it less than 2 years. It’s making sense and making some pretty sounds sometimes
I'm a huge Gary Clark fan. Saw him in Rome, killer guitarist. Also I've been playing blues and rock for years and as a Rogan fan also it is so cool to see him interact with so many musicians
Saw Gary Clark at sweeteater in Atlanta a few years ago and just wondered onto him playing main stage early in the day. Blew me away, him and Goose were the highlights of all 3 days.
