    What people don't know was there was a technical problem.. The P.A. dropped sound so they couldn't hear right. He extended the intro of the song til the sound kicked in on the other guitarist amp... then it came back on. You can see the yellow shirt guy make a face like wtf at the beginning and then works it out. Clark held the song together like glue and extended the intro and improved the leads. At some point They came back on. Also that second lead was improved and extended when the crowd lost it.. That's some balls right there keeping your shit together when things are going wrong and steps up and owns it like a boss that he is. Clapton wrote a note to him saying thank you. You make me want to play again.😀

      @aumenarys 6 лет назад +3

      "brand shit" lol If you go with a brand like Ray-Ban, you buy quality and glasses that actually protect your eyes, unlike the ones at Walmart. They will last you a lifetime if you take care of them properly. I use Aviators that are around 30 years old, I just had to change the nose pads 10 years ago because I lost one somehow. I agree that a brand name is not a guarantee of quality, but for some brands it is.

      Great analysis! ...The one chord wrapped in road-base with speed bumps covered in velvet. Building and falling intensity.

      +chad singleton hey could you elaborate? I am in the early stages of learning guitar and to me it obviously looks like he is basically as good as you get. By technical skill are you referring to the solo/riffs he plays, are they considered simple?

    • @DarthJacobi
      @DarthJacobi 8 лет назад +26

      +dudemanismadcool he means like he's kinda anchored into the minor pentatonic scale which is the first thing most people learn (towards soloing) like he's not doing some crazy stuff like Clapton where he jumps all over the neck and merges scales and triads. He kinda hangs out in one shape for the most part.

      +dudemanismadcool John Mayer is one of the better guitarists of the modern generation. He's really technical and I personally like melodic solos, like Mayer plays, those are the kind of solos you'll end up humming while your going about your day. Mayer is pretty complex with some of the stuff he plays, a lot of the time (at least for me) I'll have to rewind a video a few hundred times to figure out what exactly he's doing.
