    Blues is about the "feel" if you're listening to Gary Clark Jr. or any other artist for that matter and constantly critiquing their skills than you are in the wrong mindset to listen to music. Get lost in the feeling not the judgmental thoughts.

  • @dylanjohnson577
    @dylanjohnson577 3 года назад +148

    The reason I love this guy’s music so much isn’t because of how technical (which it is, it’s just not fast, it’s a deeper level) yet because he puts his soul into every song. When the music tempo leads to a solo you can literally see the beast within start to want out and Gary almost goes into a trance like state where all of his inner emotions are being payed out from his guitar. That’s the spiritual part of music. I feel that and if you’re not feeling the music then what’s the point. This guys seriously one of if no the best guitarist of this generation

    • @stephenhanlin2388
      @stephenhanlin2388 2 года назад +2

      Nothing technical about his playing. He’s a scale player. Don’t get me wrong, he’s good but not great. His vocal delivery is his greatest asset. Relies on effects way too much & dorks out a lot on the same note for too long when he takes a solo

    • @dylanjohnson577
      @dylanjohnson577 2 года назад +2

      @@stephenhanlin2388 you don’t understand his style. While metal-ish players focus on technical skills, this guys focusing on the feel the notes give. While yeah you’re right about his voice being a huge asset, his guitar is also adding onto that. Which in turn, is the basis of what the blues is. It’s all about the feel.

    • @Diax1324
      @Diax1324 8 лет назад +7

      As a guitarist, I have to agree. I've been digging non-standard guitarists so much lately because of all the fucking shitty repetitive bullshit. All guitarists have influences, but I'm so sick of "Perfect" playing.

    • @jihadjoe
      @jihadjoe 7 лет назад +3

      I do believe you have to be a bit of an egotist to play guitar. More often than not the lead guitarist is also the front man of the band, and it's hard to have the confidence to do that role without having some ego of your own. Drum players OTOH are happy to chill out and tie the band together.

      You are correct. Blues isn't marketable. Nobody is pushing that shit. Nobody can sell rock and roll these days. As much as it may be a bullshit argument, I'm holding on to Neil's faith and fortitude. Nothing can kill rock and roll. If one guy hears a tune and gets turned on, thats rock and roll.

      Pick up a guitar and learn a couple of standard blues progressions + the minor pentatonic scale - this should help you cover most of his songs.
      I think Gary is great, which is why I'm here listening to him - but he isn't a guitar prodigy, his true talents are imo his stage presence and lyricism.

    As a guitarist, while the technicality of his playing isn't Yngwie, fuck anyone who thinks they know better than this. I challenge anyone who gives this shit to attempt to play with as much improvisational ability and feel as this man produces. I actually find it so much more interesting to listen to an "Average" guitarist improvise such brilliant shit which I'd feel amazing if I even came up with during a planned recording session. You can feel him trying ideas out, and then finding his place.

    • @kilroy2517

      Went to "Generation Axe" a few years ago with Steve Vai, Yngwie, and others. Frankly, Yngwie was boring. Seemed like 5 straight minutes of him playing scales really fast. I'll take a "guitar musician" over a "guitar technician" any day.

      He has a gift let's face it! Its all in the bending of notes that not many guitarist's are able to achieve that is hitting the correct pitch, note on the bend''
      His style is unorthodox yet unique as in keeping it simple, keeping it raw as one would expect it! But originality has come out tops, you try writing performing singing playing blues and being noticed amongst a billion blues bands around the States, dang even Zimbabwe have a blues band yet GCjr has let his style float him to the surface!

    The beauty of Gary's playing is the selective riffs and the simplicity/synchronicity with the rest of the instruments... If you are trying to compare this song with some crazy shredding action, you're missing the point. I'm a fan for life.

    WOW! This is my first time hearing Gary Clark Jr. and all I can say is AMAZING!! This man plays with such passion and has a great tone and voice. I can't wait to hear more of this artist. I haven't seen a man more in tune and touch with his guitar since SRV. This was the highlight of my day. Can't wait to hear more.

      Possibly, what he meant was that the tradition of blues music will be played by people such as, but not limited too, GC jr. I don't think Clapton means that HE is the future of blues music but maybe one person who will act in its behalf. PS. I hate Gary Clarks music and in no way or form do I think its representative of what modern blues sounds like

    Fellas, this is blues. It's not supposed to be "Beethoven's fifth srawberry yoghurt"
    (if anyone gets this reference, u da man)
    Is his soloing kind of simplistic? Perhaps. But it's also all improvised on the spot, Neil Young style.
    This isn't planned, folks.
    He's no Satriani, it's not his way of doing things.
    You say average... I say authentic, and maybe not his best go at it.
    I'm not a great fan of his frasing or his tone.
    But his tone here is situational, and his frasing is rather uncommon, and that's good.
    He is average? No, the blues is average in the best sense of the expression.
    It's about the average man, the common man, it's at being down-to-earth that pure blues is good, and that's why it hasn't died yet.
    Every person sitting on a porch with a guitar, thinking about life and making those third notes bleed and moan with honesty...
    Are they average?
    Or do they just "are, like us, for a little while"
    (If you also get this one, u also da man)
    U go GCJr.

    and everybody has their own unique style and that's what makes them awesome.

    Being a technical player does not necessarily make you a great guitar player. There are plenty of guitar players who can shred scales and play fast. IMHO, being a technical guitar player gives you the tools to express yourself. What makes a great guitarist is one who can not only express themselves, but make others feel the way they feel through their playing.

    One evening when Gary Clark Jr was a teen he was with a girl and they were, of course, listening to some classic blues as they were sitting on the couch. Things started to heat up with some kissing and touching. The girl was getting into things as the guitar player started in on his solo. Her breathing was faster and she was squirming as Gary moved to second base. The guitar cried out as the girl started to make noises of her own. Gary rounded third and was about to slide into home base when.... The guitar solo ended and the mood was broken. The girl got self conscious and made an excuse to head home... the solo was too short. Gary swore in his heart that if he ever made it big he would NEVER let that happen to anyone listening to his music. And I want to say: Thank you Gary, thank you for giving us these long ass sweet love making solos that don't leave us blue balled.

      The whole band is killing it and the emotion is pouring through, but to keep it real, today they have had influences and the people well before them where the pioneers. That's why those people received the acclaim.
      I'm going to wash out my own comment a little by shifting focus and noting that these days there are so many distractions it's easy for amazing talent to go unnoticed. I agree with you that its a shame.

      Quit being arrogant, i was referring to a lot of his contemporaries such as the black keys. Now i have followed the black keys for many years even seen them live a few times but dan auerbach cannot play a solo live without screwing it up even if his life depended on it

    • @apolloptx
      @apolloptx 9 лет назад +2

      Andrew Gould Again...very limited knowledge. There are a lot of contemporary bands with guitarists that play great solos. Also, I have seen the Black Keys multiple times, and I've watched many live videos of them, and I don't think I've ever seen Dan mess up a solo. How is he screwing it up?

    • @apolloptx
      @apolloptx 9 лет назад +2

      Andrew Gould Another thing, even if Dan or any other guitarrist hits a bad note, that doesn't "screw up" the solo, at all. And I hope you're not one of those noobs who thinks that because he plays the solo differently live than what is on the album, then he's ruining it. Solos are not meant to be scripted, they're meant to be free-flow and spawn from the moment. I really think you need to be more open-minded towards music and what music is.

Everyone who saw that happen, man.. be grateful. Not everyone gets to see someone just take that step, it's like Peter stepping out of the boat... for a brief moment, God calls, and something in us answers. I believe that music can be a way we experience the same thing. That was pure soul being poured out right there. Respect.
