this is the most awesome version of this song ever and its some of the best guitar playing I've ever heard. I must've have seen this a hundred times. this is as cool as its possible to be.
OH. YEAH ...J.J. going to the Stratosphere with a Stratocaster...nothing like it fellas. I feel like I am breathing Helium listening to this...so much lighter...floating. Only one other song makes me feel this way, Les Paul 's "How High the Moon". The original Mr. Cale ...Thanks man !
It seems like every time he played that song he found a totally new way to do it. I also think he was one of those artists like Joni Mitchell who have little or no idea how their art affects the rest of us.
Thanks for post it This guy is really an icon for everyone who loves guitar, real music and... laid back Rest In Peace JJ... You ve got millions of sons and girls
I've been playing his music since 1971. He never played that song the same way twice. Do yourself a favor and get into his catalog and find out how to play guitar. Clapton said he was the best he ever heard. He was and is. You have no idea how many people play his music.
Had to leave a second comment here. 1:42 After due consideration, this is my favorite version of the song. A gem among grains of bits of gravel and sand.
at one of the crossroads shows he did with clapton , the dozen guys on stage start this song, the whole thing starts to wobble and chug along.......jj is waiting.......finally the guys find the groove jj is playing and it comes together.......then..... he finally starts the first verse. his stuff is nearly impossible to play, even with friends at the house because everyone hears or KNOWS how its SUPPOSED to be played, but they don't, do they?
There's a dodgy aspect to English show biz which gets away with basically stealing other people's acts. Keith Richards totally ripped off Chuck Berry's sound and Clapton is a serial stealer, with any blues artist fair game in his earlier days, then moving on to rip off Bob Marley and the Wailers song and sound, then JJ Cale...
@@omarks to be fair he made them a lot of money from royalties from his covers and more important he was a major player in putting them both in the spotlight. Bob Marley hadn't had anything in the charts before Clapton covered I Shot The Sheriff. Clapton spoke to Bob Marley about the song and apparently Marley liked it & JJ was very open about Clapton bringing him success and always considered himself a songwriter foremost. Likewise Clapton appears to have always been generous in his praise of both men.
@@omarks I don't really like anything Clapton did after cream, but if he hadn't played JJ´s songs, JJ would have been a lot less famous and a lot poorer. also playing other peoples songs is not stealing, its showing admiration, respect and love for the music. of course if you tell people its your song its another thing, but Clapton is a huge JJ fan and he always credited him.
He made the simplest guitar progressions just jump to life with what he did with them. he was and is an enigma.
Ultra personal style
the only artist I know without a inch of BS. all pure talent.

JJ Cale was one of the most underrated guitar players/song writers ever. Few know his influence on guitar greats like Mark Knopfler and many others.
Eric Clapton is one hugh fan
Monty: Huge fan, right on.
First time I hear JJ I knew Mark Knopfler could not have been without him.

Breaks my heart too, I feel ya.
J.J.Cale - one of the greatest musicians of every time.....
That was one of the most incredible versions of After midnight
the harmonics he gets when messing around playing 'After Midnight' are just beautiful. Truely just blows me.Thanks for posting buddy
My favorite guitar tone in the whole world. That's why I play a Stratocaster.
Thank you for the music JJ...the sound track to my life, RIP man we all love you :)

He makes that guitar sing. Our loss is Heaven's gain.
So moving ......we loved, we love this Man ! He was, he is pure Genius. So humble .
Thats true
An American Icon.....the man inspired so many musicians in our lifetime....Eric Clapton ,POCO,The Eagles,Lynyrd Skynyrd,the lists goes on and on...
And knopfler
I used to play this song. I thought i knew how to play this. Now i know i can"t. Nobody cans. Except him...
I don’t know much about music, but I know I love this
Best version ever.
brought tears in my eyes.... thanks for the upload, may JJ rest in peace
His relaxed style is unique!
Not really. Mark Knopfler plays in a relaxed manner, as do thousands of other guitarists. Unique means one of a kind.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH Mark knopfler plays that sound _becouse_ of J.J.
@@mikdu1 absolutely right. First was Jjcale. Mark got much inspiration from him
He’s a goddam magician with the guitar
Just amazing . Gave me goose bumps now I know the version I've gotta learn. R.I.P. J.J Cale
Thanks for post it
This guy is really an icon for everyone who loves guitar, real music and... laid back
Rest In Peace JJ... You ve got millions of sons and girls
daughters

I wish he could have lived forever.
He will.
Effortless lead lines on top of chords while keeping the percussive low end. Really great stuff.
Love his style. One of the best ever.
RIP Enjoy the great gig in the sky xXx
Великий ! Great MAN of the World 🌎 ❤ . ....i listen from 1973
Awesome awesome awesome he truly was a gem
I love this version of it.
Fabulous 👍
What a treasure J.J. was......RIP my friend....
even the warm up is beautiful...the song is JJ in his depth as a player he had amazing musical gifts as well as technique..
Had to leave a second comment here. 1:42 After due consideration, this is my favorite version of the song. A gem among grains of bits of gravel and sand.
He was a phenomenal artist and totally averse to show business.
1:36 How great to be able to write one song and have that pay your rent for the rest of your life!
pure utter talent
This is what it is about. Amazing JJ.
JJ was a master player and songwriter.
Nice piece of truth. RIP JJ.
You will not be forgotten.
ray Bonneville is a mojo man....got some great guitar and cds too....long live jj
Like a big boy, you are a champion 💪 rest ❣️.
That sounds like 2 or at times even 3 people playing the guitar.
His touch is unspeakable
He plays it totally differently here since he's alone... amazing.
Was lucky enough to see him live once in Raleigh,nc Lincoln theatre........wow
Master class!
You're the man JJ !!
Excellent.....
Rip JJ
He's the street busker that made it and stayed street busker all the way.
art is a g00d string my respect me how would i new a new day cane
❤️
that is .... so , just can say thx for uploading

"Let him do it to you"...(I did.)😁👍🕺
So cool
Love the JJ Cale
Awesome!!!! Thank you.
Thanks JJ
HELL YEAH!! Straight from the Source.
oh man he was just the best
pays the rent says it all!
Mark Knopfler is the closest to guitar playing when you feel the emotions of the guitar.
84,5年にNHK-FMで流れてた頃はクラプトンもまだカバーしてなくてタワーレコードでようやく見つけた
I think if you googled the word 'cool' you'd see a picture of J.J.
Coolest guy ever JJ.
thank you for this !
awesome
The boss is picking.
like butta, the master on the couch!
Magic!
I have been searching RUclips for a bad note by Cale. Haven’t found it yet.
He’s from my north Tulsa neighborhood where the GAP Band also came from.
Faculty of Transcendental Art, jj cale, the 60kg kind man
Love
Geez miss his laid back playing
Cool!
Wow
thats just so fuckin awesome
wow need no more
This is the “Tulsa sound”
"the american guitars" japanese tv show
He wrote this song
at one of the crossroads shows he did with clapton , the dozen guys on stage start this song, the whole thing starts to wobble and chug along.......jj is waiting.......finally the guys find the groove jj is playing and it comes together.......then..... he finally starts the first verse. his stuff is nearly impossible to play, even with friends at the house because everyone hears or KNOWS how its SUPPOSED to be played, but they don't, do they?
Tom Petty made a few good versions of JJCale songs
👍❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I like his version more than Clapton's....
Well why not - it is JJ's song after all ...
It's like Clapton covering Freddie King, I'm glad he brought attention to the man (and JJ) but in no way did he improve upon the source material.

Coolest Cat Ever
this old dude is jj cale ah
Leggenda
Forget the strat, I want that hat!
JJ played it differently every time he sang that ditty.
#godjjcale
No wonder his 2 big fans are Eric clapton and Mark knopfler
Angeber! :-)
Do you know what this show was called?
He and EC owe each other
And mark
Does anyone know what APM is he using here...?
Is this a cover or jj cale himself?
more cowbell.....
So Satan tells God I will destroy music and God replied Hey JJ could you play 13 days again and shut this fool up.
