Gary Clark Jr - If Trouble Was Money [LIVE]

[@MarkMerrick]

What the heck is it about Gary Clark Jr? His music is so simple and so ridiculously interesting. His vocal and lead/rhythm phrasing, theme and variation, are simply perfect. God must love the blues cuz He sent us Gary Clark Jr.

[@MarkMerrick]

And I do respect what rappers are putting out there. They are speaking from their experience which many times has been terribly difficult. In fact the way they use their experiences to make music and even develop and extend music is quite astounding. It's evidence of beauty and power in them that has always been in them, the divine spark, the image of God. If I could offer them one thing I would tell them that they are loved and cherished by God who demonstrated His love by sending His Son Jesus. They are beautiful, perfect, and forgiven just like all of us because of Him. That one idea gives hope that can transform the body, mind, and spirit.

[@samplerstitcher]

He has that certain magic....

[@jasminsterzenbach3942]

because the music is like life... and he is a great singer

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

he surely listened to Albert collins and Jimi Hendrix and probably Stevie Ray Vaughn and a hundred others Buddy Guy et al but mostly those 2 first I mentioned hear in the guitar... Vocals there's some other influences. that black guy who blew up big from the 90's who played ver thin sounding fender ?? what was his name? Lots of poppy crossover songs from him too. . that's what I hear, and a natural talent that you can't buy or even acquire by practice. You either got it or you don't.

[@waynenutter63]

If you like the blues this is your man.

[@remembercollins8244]

I literally just listened to Gary Clark, Jr. for the first time less than 5 minutes ago and I am totally hooked . This is my kinda groove . YYYYEEEEESSSSSSSSS !!!!!

[@jasminsterzenbach3942]

YEAH!!!Was just listening bcause he is giving a concert nearby😇😎 Gonna have to get up early for a Ticket

[@Malama_Ki]

I had the same reaction when I first heard the Red Devils. Check out their PinkPop performance on here. Dude ain’t playing!

[@christiemarieviewz]

Life changing ❤

[@BrapBMX]

I’m happy for you main.

[@EskenRock]

Yeah.... Then his songs get really racially influenced... And he lost ALL his fans.

[@dickgozinya8673]

Thank goodness someone is still playing music like this today.

[@TheMRMACHONACHO]

Eric Zapata. Unjustly outrageously underrated. What a beautiful soulful player

[@rutiliofirpo]

As soon as I saw the "tele" the memory of another great bluesman, Mr. Roy Buchanan (rip) came to me

[@NSCA12]

There are people who play The Blues then there are those that FEEL The Blues. There isn't a single song of his that feels forced. Every chord speaks to the soul!!!

[@NThe313]

Say THAT! Look at the expressions on his face. That's FEEL not FAKE. He is having sex with that song❣

[@johnmirabile3535]

YOU SAID IT! WAS THINKING THE SAME THING, HE BECOMES ONE WITH THE SONG, ANY SONG, THERES PLAYING ON TOP OF A BLUES THEN THERES GETTING INSIDE OF A BLUES....NEVER HEARD HIM OUTSIDE OF A SONG! CLAPTON SAID, HE SAW 2 PPL WITH A NATURAL FLOW, GARY AND JIMMY HENDRIX, I LOVE JIMMY, BUT THE MORE I LISTEN TO GARY? IF I HAD TO CHOOSE ONE, I THINK ITS GARY! ONLY BC OF HIS STYLE I LEAN MORE TOWARDS GARYS SOUND AND THE FEELING OF HIS PLAYING, SO SMOOOTHHHHHH....BUT ITS VERRRRYYYY CLOSE...

[@troubledtimes]

That’s because he speaks truth

[@wayne6828]

True dat

[@joshuacarlson4768]

RIGHT ON…

[@frankwall5177]

Gary is the real deal. I am disabled so I was lucky enough to sit in the front row at his red rocks show a few years back. My time is short. I am so blessed to have been able to see him perform live.

[@timothygrayson]

What I like about this guitarist is how loud it is. It's blues at the right volume. Rock my soul brother.

[@johnmark2442]

This guys are not joking. The whole band is killer.

[@soulfulman1971]

That bass player is killing it. Gotta love the Blues.

[@bobwood2496]

Gary has the most hair rousingly authentic guitar sound to come along since Hendrix. With that wailing, liquid voice, this young man is the complete electric blues package. And he can pitch some very tasty soul for those wholike it as well. You can hear echoes of Curtis Mayfield in that smooth tenor delivery.

[@joelsimms4636]

His uncle is WC Clark. A well know musician around Austin. Gary comes from good stock!

[@TheEnglishRedneck45]

Have a sup of Marcus King? I think you'd enjoy what he's putting out too if you're not already aware of his band's playing.

[@Magnum_Opus_Music]

Well spoken sir! Cheers!

[@ryanhiggins2698]

Couldn't put any better than that...Wowwwww...He's raw TALENT!!!

[@Liquidmetal702]

Thinking the same damn thing

[@mariobarreto]

I can't express how it pleases me to hear Gary playing a Tele.

[@Pazkizzle]

First thing that popped to my mind also

[@PlAyInSomeBluez]

I'm assuming he is doing this becausee the song is originally done by Albert "Iceman" Collins, also known as the king of the telecaster

[@TheGearShiftGurus]

+Max Malmgren that's it man!

[@doitnowvideosyeah5841]

So used to Gary w humbuckers it is refreshing. I agree with the Collins ref, it must be why he is playing Tele but the bite, it is perfect

[@dylanc2479]

@@PlAyInSomeBluez The Master of the Telecaster* :P

[@jordanlevin8]

this might be my favorite blues solo on the internet. Gary just sits in the same fret position for the entire thing, but absolutely nails the tone. sometimes less is more!

[@Primus_suspectus]

That's how the real pros do it. Focus their brainpower on the expression rather than moving along the fretboard

[@callousart430]

Same key and lock of Red House

[@BrenQ99]

Zapata’s solo?

[@tetagorgoni7813]

Muddy, Hooker, BB, Prince, Jimi and all soulful guitarists before Lives ON in this man!! He's a Prince and a King, literally! Love him. Thank you Gary for heeding the call!

[@joshuakemblebluegrass838]

Man! His performance of this song in a special guest appearance on the Luke Cage show from Marvel was epic!

[@sharonpeppers3341]

#GaryClarkJr. The blues man for the millennial generation. You are a breath of fresh air. You be showing out on every jam. The thing I also enjoy watching is your effortless playing.

I am so glad I found Gary Clarke jr 🎸

[@joshhobbs3519]

I always love Gary's tone, but I was struck immediately by the sound of that tele. The man has tone for days.

[@kathykelley587]

Oh, my, that strut! Best modern Blues man in my opinion.

Him or Marcus King. Samantha Fish isn't bad either

Im in my 70's. i have had the good fortune to hear many of the old masters up close and personal. I wish Gary Clark the best.

Check out kingfish. An even younger blues artist I wish he did a collaboration with gary.

I have this behavior of not looking at bands when they play ( it’s music not movies, figure it out!) and can say on only 3 occasions have I ever turned and watched them play.......This Man is one of those occasions!.

I will sleep better tonight knowing Gary Clark is around the blues is safe and sound once again thank you kindly that lead guitar just ripped the scar off my soul god bless the telecaster then and now the future is looking brighter come on lets go........ my mother use to tell me there be days like this.....Zapata /s rhythm a perfect blend .....love it ..

[@hemirdrnr]

Gary Clark Jr is one of the best live shows I have seen. And I have seen many of the greats. Zepplin, Floyd, SRV, Clapton...HIS interpretation of electric blues is fresh and on point. I have not heard much new music lately that is as stirring. Bravo GCJ!

This is an Albert Collins song with a Magic Sam twist. Check out their versions! Do the blues/rock and roll some justice! Dig deeper! Find the roots of the roots! This kind of music didn’t just spawn in Gary’s head, he has influences. Learn about them and keep this kind of music alive! I think the blues will have a HUGE second coming in the next 50 years. Idk about you guys, but I want to be invloved
