Gary's an incredible, fresh and young artist. Just what modern blues needed. He's got his very own style. So if you don't like it then I guess you shouldn't listen to his music. He doesn't have to change, he's good just the way he is. I know he is going to keep improving and evolving as an artist. Keep it up Gary!.
Is not about the technical skill. This guy is so hot, he is dangerous and I speak as someone who had Steve Ray, Albert King and Joe Bonamassa play his club just for starters. I am a believer in GC Jr. Open your ears and mind Mr. Juggernuts
I have to laugh at all the people that come on here knocking musician's, primarily guitar players. Umm, GCJ and all those others that are "terrible" or "need practice" etc... they are playing crossroads festivals and sold out stadiums to 10's of thousands of people while you sit behind your computer screen typing away...Who's the real winner and loser here! I don't mean to get personal with anyone that has commented here, just trying to get a point across to anyone negative, just shut up and listen to the music and appreciate it and enjoy it, if its not your bag then move on, but if you appreciate this form of music then enjoy cause if not for people like Mayer and GCJ (to name a small few) keeping this train going, then we'd all be shafted with nothing better to listen to than Nikki Manaj (don't know how to spell it, don't care!) or Justin Beiber!
finally actual truth- i would love to hear some of the people or experts on blues and professional playing or professional musicians here on this site post their superior music - i say superior because obviously they KNOW what theyre talking about - probably because they KNOW more than this man or other well known artists that play like this and sell out practically every performance - please post YOUR BETTER MUSIC - I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOU CRITICS PLAY-
You're so right. People that say those things just don't get it. The music is so much more than technical skill, its a feeling and a sound. Its a complete experience and it is inspiring. If people want to knock technical skills, let them, because they just don't get it and never will. These are the same people who praise bands such as The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin as Gods. I, too, praise them as such but also recognize that they were far from technically proficient when they played and that is a good thing. Sloppy is good. Sloppy and on the verge of a train wreck is what makes bands great live. Its the danger element. Its living on the edge. Every great musician or band that you can think of rides that fine, train wreck line when they perform. Perfection is boring. This guy, Gary Clark Jr. gets it, plays it, and lives it. He's the real deal. I would love to see his critics sit down in a room and jam with him in private, thinking that they would show him a thing or two, lol. Gary Clark Jr. has forgotten more than his critics on here will ever know. Most of them have never played a bigger venue than their garage or bedroom. If they had ever performed for a real audience, and experienced that energy, had ever had the courage to ride that fine line, take that risk, then they would know how silly they sound. Play on, GCJ, play on! And, to his critics, get a life my friends.
Bronson Dawe Damn! I hate that argument! "Beliebers" use it; "Directioners" use it; even recent Colplay fans use it... Let me tell you something: ticket sales don't mean a thing! I bet even the Backstreet Boys sold a lot of tickets back in their days and yet it doesn't mean they're the greatest band in the world, are they? If you want to say something good about Gary Clark Jr, or any other artist you like, talk about their talent, their uniqueness, their vibe, their soul, the way they put you in a certain mood, but never ever talk about sales again, please. This guy doesn't need to show us a profit report to be a great musician, he only has to play the guitar the way he does, and that's what makes him one of the greatest musicians right now. Please please please don't ever use that poor argument again 'cause you're reducing music and talent to money, and money can't buy you talent. Just take a look at MTV and tell me if any of those profitable "musicians" has the talent that this guy has.
THE BEST PERFORANCE...LIVE OR OTHERWISE.....INTENSE PERSONIFIED PLUS....HYPNOTIC CAPTURING......BEST HENDRIX EVER DID......BEST CLAPTON EVER DID......ESPECIALLY LIVE. challenge it.
Normally I wouldn't like that fuzzy distorted guitar sound because I prefer the cleaner stuff, But man this guy owns it and really grabs your emotion and rips it out of you with those riffs.
I dig him. Lots of feeling and a restrained power in his performances. I usually do not like guitarists that play so over driven but he has a command of the rhythm and dynamics. He knows how to develop the tension and release required. He has done his homework. The real deal. He must be loud as heck here though and yet his vocal comes through relaxed.
I'm seeing some critics here, but don't forget that's he's new in a big public, with 1 record on a major label. as of his guitar playing, it does not have to be difficult, I think he's got a beautiful career ahead of him.
This fella is amazing,he dives into his music,letting it almost break up at times,but having enough feel to keep it all together and produce beautiful moments.Wonderful
why are people hating on this guitar so he isn't the best singer in the world or the best guitarist so what im positive somebody is gonna copy him soon best believe that the nerve of these people sometimes
Wow! I never heard him until I heard this performance of this piece today on CD. What a powerful and moving expression of emotion, pain, wish for transcendence... marvelous. Thank you.
This was the first song I ever heard by this amazing young bluesman and I been hooked heart and soul . Yall just listen to all this magic of this young man's soul!!! garyclarkgr is so 🔥 with an amazing backing band.
I love the blues, i play the blues on my guitar, and i appreciate what GCJ is doing. It isn't traditional straight ahead blues by any means but it's some pretty darn good music. Just enjoy it instead of trying to compare it.
The blues has been hijacked by such apathy of emotion, filled with never-ending copycats of the Stevie Ray Vaughan generation of sound, but without any of the soul. Gary represents everything real to me about the soul of blues and blues-rock. It's supposed to be a musical movement of expressing emotion through sound and true feel, not needlessly parroting others who have come before. Sure, Gary's playing is not up to the technicality of a John Mayer or Joe Bonamassa type. But, who cares? No offense to either of those individuals as people, but for me their music doesn't express with anything close to this level of genuine raw emotion. When I look at the audience, filled with so many individuals presumably uninterested, all I can think is that these people just don't comprehend. Their minds are unable or unwilling to take off their blinders to open themselves up for something truly unique and real. Gary is a modern iteration of the blues, not entirely like anything that has come before. Some folks don't like it. Some folks don't feel comfortable with it. But, for me, Gary is a major influence, and one of the few artists in my mind to gain widespread success whom I actually give-a-damn about. SHOW 'EM HOW IT'S DONE, GARY!
YES ! So obvious this audience just doesn't get it. I'm glad you & so many others do ! When I 1st saw/heard him on RU-vid, at 2010 C.R. playing Bright Lights, he was a wild, flying Horse not to be saddled or tamed. STONE-COLD RAW !
Living in Austin I've been watching Gary since he was a teen play at the Victory Grill. He can play the traditional blues. Now he's moved on doing his own thing! Love it!
To everybody who questions whether this is blues or not, I guess we should first ask the real blues cats about it..! If Clapton and Guy consider him the new generation of the blues, It might as well be
I just love Gary Clark Jr. He plays the guitar like a champ and sings really good too. I also like these songs of his and his spectacular band. Thanks for the great video.
Gotta love those cheap Chinese made Casinos. Had a conversation about them with GKJr in a toilet after a show and we both agreed, they rock! He rocks too obviously :)
King Pug The Japanese ones have noticeably higher craftsmanship and finish, not to mention better electronics, real bone nut, etc... But I could see how he has preferences.
Just saw you Tuesday in Houston and I'm gonna see you again Friday in Austin. I just wanted to let you know that someday I will be on that stage with you. Great show btw, way better than anything I've heard from you. I expected a great show not a spectacular show!
