[@LilVinOfficial]

It's not what you play, it's how you play it. He's a new living guitarist icon!

[@BlindMellowJelly]

+Black Skull Well said, but you knew that.......RESPECT

[@diomorrisonpage]

and this man got all the amazing feeling the song need

[@MrMikeHonchohimself]

For real. you look up the tabs, and you think, "oh, this is doable." Then you watch him go into another dimension with his left hand ..at hyper-speed.

[@shackyl]

thumbs up for badass 1-chord songs

[@dylanjohnson577]

The fact he can use three fuzz pedals at once on this song and keep the tone from collapsing is a feat on its own

[@frankreagle304]

I know zero mud …I’m gettin there myself tho!

[@SuperZedstar]

The best I've heard since I first heard Hendrix when I was 16 in 1969.

[@sawyerkavanagh6515]

Saw Gary the other night. Can't begin to describe how badass he is live

[@HerbRansburg]

Seen the kid a few times as he has been this incredible journey. Humble and dedicated to his talent. GC needs to put the entire show back on Audience which includes the interviews. The last show I saw in Orlando we kick ass and got to hang with him afterwards.

[@Casey_J96]

First Guitar center session worth watching in a while!

[@BlindMellowJelly]

Just so proud of this Young Man..................GCjr....Take the world and Preach Bro apparently you have their attention

[@packersfan1905]

yes sir

[@chakat1991]

Oh that FUZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!

[@frankgomez8473]

I absolutely love this song, but this rendition in my opinion is by far the best ..... Gary you are simply amazing !!!

[@chargerpacer]

Jesus this is good. Raw and powerful fuzzy blues. Love it!!

[@williamlewis6615]

Gary is getting up into Jimi's league quickly as an innovator, He's that level of alent

[@sinistergrey3]

best GC series performance so far. I loved that part at the end with the guitars syncing for that little double riff. Just a B.A. performer and band all around, Nice to see at least real music is trying to make a come back in our over saturated pop record label produced B.S. music industry.

[@georgiarain4344]

he plays amazingly ......perfect

[@dsmith3593]

New future of the Blues and right on with it, go GC Jr.

[@MrBuniekPolaczek]

That kick and that bass and that rhythm guitar sound so fucking divine together

[@markbennett744]

Absolute fire. True original rock sound!!

[@granty.885]

Such an amazing artist!!! Love the style and sound!

[@zakman1964]

another Kick ass song from the pit of Soul indeed

[@bearhouse34]

The solo 3:09 in is fantastic. This guy is a legend.

[@lezard2k]

love the fuzz!

[@benjaminletiecq4932]

He absolutely nailed the tone on the guitar for this song. That whaling sound for that riff is bitchin.

[@grantwhite4201]

Jesus fuck, taking lessons from the Sabbath book to take distortion and kick your ass with it. Great riff, great song!

[@AlfredoOjeda]

Grande Gary Clark Jr.!!!

[@mauriciocedillo617]

Fantastic. Gary is the best.

[@Sh3ba5843]

Damn this is so moving, someone commented another dimesion. So true.

[@dustynleonard4879]

GCJ is definitely the best artist yall have had on the gc sessions.

[@GreenIce101]

Dustyn Leonard I'd say Gaslight Anthem has that title, but GCJ is definitely a close second ;)

[@jalanhart]

Dustyn Leonard Buddy Guy was on here once I think, if so Gary isn't even anywhere remotely close.

[@Teddylaw609]

Love that grungy sound

[@space78511]

this band is amazing! I like it

[@Skwerrlly]

My fave Gary tune

[@jdribnak1]

Killer groove! Im numb!! Oh yea im numb!!

[@johnsharkey9143]

That fuzz is sooo fucking good

[@daveyon1915]

new fresh great music I love it

[@TheBigDean18]

Anyone else think that riff sounds a little like Come Together?

[@xwhite2020]

Pearl Jam - first album- once it think it was called.

[@BrianHardoin]

xwhite2020 yeah, it does sound a lot like that, now that you've mentioned it. Not a complaint, its a sweet riff.

[@TheBigDean18]

Is he saying "Numb" sounds like Pearl Jam or that Pearl Jam and Numb sound like Come Together lol xD

[@BrianHardoin]

I think I'm saying that numb sounds halfway between the two, and I never even noticed any similarity between Once and Come Together until this song. I love that music works that way. haha

[@garydupuis]

No....that riff sounds A LOT like Come Together

[@lakland5sd]

This sounds solid with a little more level adjusting. I think she needs to be on top more

[@rickiwarrior]

Numb es uno de los mejores temas de su álbum #BlakAndBlu y esta presentación está bastante sabrosa...

[@alidarvishi3622]

Amazing!

[@frankinthekitchen7398]

Super cool session..

[@mookhaze]

I love this song.

[@faunoram]

FUZZTASTIC !!

[@stefanallen9864]

[@MikeBikerKickstand]

[@regitrosecompartilhamentos7994]

Veri Nice very good

[@stratplayer5769]

[@Amnas2011]

[@Charleypassy]

This track sounds so much like The Black Keys early stuff

[@AritasLTU]

[@user-mv2sm4os5b]

[@kustersmusic]

[@julys9302]

[@stevemassarone1470]

That tone is unearthly

[@user-ff1wt1dy3m]

[@toast47624]

I don't play but my 12 year old son does and he loves Gary as do I. My boy can play Bright lights just like Gary and he wants to play this! please can someone recommend the pedal. We have the guitar and a blackstar Artist Amp Which sounds great. But can't get that sound with the pedals we have.

[@heartandsoul2871]

As Others have suggested the Octavia and Astrotone; however, I have those pedals and just found that the Roger Mayer Kuro Kage nails it

[@MrAntsrules]

that guitar riff sounds like the beatles song come together

[@clivegeorge9740]

Hello, what is the pick-up on the SG ?

[@charlieleonardo]

oh yeah baby!

[@TheSecondNature]

his epiphones are nice and all, but a gibson is too sexi period

[@NAYOBA21]

❤

[@chrisandrew6633]

THis stage is fuckin beautiful, gahhh

[@russellmitchem5465]

Jimi hendrix of ourtime..

[@primeDecomposition]

Lol Jack-White-fuzz ENGAGE!!!

[@mice16B]

Come together...

[@susanlayton6758]

FUZZ!!!!!!! Reminds me of Jimi!!!!

[@zodiac909]

Jimi would have approved of this man.

[@StevenPhillips]

Totally not the sound I was expecting from a epiphone casino

[@GasmaskenJoe]

does someone know what fuzz he is using?

[@ShadowNinjaNoah]

I don't know but it sounds amazing

[@RandyJohnsonRikthove]

Typically he uses Fulltone Octa Fuzz. The mix in this video really pulled a lot of the bottom end tone out Usually the sound is more full than what we're hearing here. In any event Octa Fuzz.

[@noahclark8335]

fulltone octafuzz

[@LuchoJ2110]

he uses a Analogman Astro Tone fuzz and a Fulltone Octafuzz

[@chumlife33]

Tones for days

[@lucfielder]

[@ivanwentzel2704]

Needs more bass!!

[@mmusic4821]

When you find this after GCJr has done a version of Come Together for Justice L...

[@coreymafia]

16 beliebers dont like this music

[@40tired]

I guess if you have to pinch a riff it may as well be from the Beatles....

[@horvathszilveszter]

Hendrix reincarnated in this guy

[@mzondi1970]

That sound only a big ole hollow body Gibson can make

[@steppingrazor9436]

bad ass mfkers lol

[@malcolmpoole4503]

M

[@LukeWalstead]

Let me preface this with the fact that I love Gary Clark Jr. BUT --- Every live version of this song SUCKS compared to the album version and I'm pretty sure I know why: 1. It's always too fast. (Which as a performer I get, it happens) 2. the drummer plays a totally different groove. On the album it's a simple, slow backbeat with a simple, mostly closed 8th note high-hat. Live, he does like a Indian war dance groove on the toms while lightly trashing the ride. The problem is that the first groove gets the song going and keeps it going smooth and steady. It makes you tap you feet because it emphasizes the strong beats in the measure (2 & 4). The second groove slams in on the weak beats: the first ¼ and ⅛ notes if the measure respectively. For me, it kills the song. Oh yeah, and another thing: Zapata's tone always sounds like he's playing in a little tin box and has NO sustain. Anyway, those are my thoughts, my opinion. Take 'em or leave 'em.

[@JohnsDough1918]

Imma leave 'em. These reasons are exactly why I prefer most live versions to the studio version.

[@MarkCrawfordmarcusrobur]

Fucking hell

[@LumiKormel]

"Hello,this is John Lennon from Heaven,asking my riff back!!!!"

[@SHANELL032007]

And the black bluesmen that originally created said the same thing!

[@Dylz52]

More like "Hello, this is John Lennon from Heaven, thanks for taking my riff and making it FREAKING BADASS!!!!"

[@Guilherme-md7vw]

+NoTalent367 the riff is very reminiscent of Come Together

[@TranelHawkins]

John provide the elixir for Gary to make it 😎

[@MarioAtheonio]

Uhm... well... it was... it was Paul McCartney's bass riff. So he's the one who... actually... Paul McCartney isn't dead... Yeah.

[@Josyelson1]

OverDrive+Fuzz+Distortion+Metal= Doideira!!! -_-#

[@allanshimada8726]
