When I was a young kid in austin texas Gary Clark jr was my neighbor and I heard him playing guitar on his porch every night until his dad made him stop true talent from the beginning

THAT YOU CAN TREASURE EVEN IF NOBODY ELSE CAN UNDERSTAND... THAT'S A TRUE BLESSING❣ WHEN I WAS MUCH YOUNGER I USE TO HEAR THIS PERSON PLAYING THE SAX THROUGH THE NIGHT INTO THE EARLY MORNING LIGHT...

It is a fantastic cut, band, vocals, ax, all of it, the production would have been more crisp (wow, huh, pretty crisp as is) if they used the new 803PC-6 system, as it separates all instruments by setting and ranges as well... be in the storm, watch the storm -be the storm. You gonna; know his name and he doesn't even "rap" that name 20 times as so many do, ciao now

[@stephanwackman5816]

Is funny, the guitarist in the yellow shirt, Doyle Bramhall, worked together with Clapton on multiple albums, 'Sessions for Robert J' being one

[@Tfmusicmaker]

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.😀

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

"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.

+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]

+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]

Jacob Huddleston ah I get ya thanks for the explanation, what is your opinion on John Mayer? I know he is very good but would you consider him a technical master of guitar? Will have to check out some Clapton.

[@chadsingleton6523]

Ya jacob said it perfectly

[@DarthJacobi]

+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.

The bass player is a machine.

[@rh7122]

Yeah who is that?

[@Louis-zc7im]

Having Doyle Bramhall II in the line-up doesn't hurt either. Another great player

[@aaronjohnson2958]

Jimmy Hendrix had a godson! So great to hear this song!

[@TCToni]

Got to see him as an opening act for Lauryn Hill, loved his performance more than hers 😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@nickademus489]

One of the greatest songs ever. Everyone at this festival had better recognize how lucky they were to experience this.

To think, 10 years ago now? My goodness, this is by far my favorite live performance of this song. Raw. Love it

[@whodatdarwin2657]

10 years ago eh? Raw eh? Damn right it is!! I just found Clark 15 Dec 2021. I envy your last 10 years and look forward to the next 10 with bluesy jamming.

[@superdriver777]

I love this riff. So heavy, just the right amount of crunch, and then the fuzz licks interspersed...
