I am stunned. I never thought I would ever see another true blues player/singer of this caliber the rest of my days. Hendrix, Stevie Ray gone. This is great. My kind of blues.

[@pena.3302]

Totally..Love soul..the Groove hits..

[@nickb3250]

This has Chuck Berry written all over it. Gary puts his own spin on it though. Solid stuff.

[@thedude6307]

The wikipedia comment. Solid analysis.

[@pena.3302]

So Glad you put that there as am Sure G.Cjr..would b well Aware..but there will b simularitys.in the best stuff.i guess.so happy listening to This Man.

[@cedric717]

Best thing to happened to music in a long time. My new favorite artist. Thanks for bringing musicianship back to music

[@4rescue]

This man is so fucking AMAZING... His voice, his phrasing that's part lead, part rhythm... he's truly a gem in the current shit heap of music these days. Between him and the Black keys, Blues/rock are staying alive and well.

[@activemelody]

Awesome :) Playing that style of electric without a band isn't easy to do. Gary nails Shotgun Man

[@Magnum_Opus_Music]

Nothing is easy unless you live it:) Dedication!

[@jounin9988]

It's your cousin Marvin Berry! you know that sound you were looking for? well listen to this!

[@bolder2009]

He did a free gig last night at The Blues Kitchen. Confirmed that he is more than the real deal! I hope footage of that gig emerges because I can't put it into words.

[@Zedeezia]

If only everyone knew how amazing he is

[@pantherleal]

I guess you guys aint ready for that yet but you kids are gonna love it. Lol awesome song and it gave me some marty mcfly vibes.

[@WebFerret246]

What the world needs is a band with this guy on chords and Jordan Cook on lead.

[@BridgetDeLaCruzda1dlcbadnaz]

[@rog0622]

Simple, but GOOD! Gary Clark has talent! I don't care how technically savvy someone is or isn't. I care about the feel I get from the music!

[@GCJrFan]

[@andi.andersen3633]

Great, nice done, sounds good.

[@doobieblunt]

Chuck Berry my ass, only in classic red guitar resemblance. Class all of his own wish him all and everything that drives his passion for entertaining. Gotta be SO FUCKING TALENTED as well as driven in music today some get the luck................ this one TAKES IT! Bravo

[@ericmullins9235]

f'n awsome .

[@Joemommas]

So because its a 12 bar blues its chuck berry. So many rock and roll artists from the 50s used the 12 bar blues.

[@xOneDudeArmy]

he does rip old chuck off a number of times bro

[@Joemommas]

xOneDudeArmy How does he rip off? Unless hes taking an exact lick from a song its not ripping off. Im inspired by Chuck Berry as are many other people. Being inspired by an artist doesn't mean hes ripping him off. So fuck off.

[@xOneDudeArmy]

what you blowing him? fuck me.

[@dylmitch]

***** totally agree with you lol just like majority of the 60s and 70s rock guitarists were so influenced by blues guitarists like chuck berry bb king etc there not copying or ripping them off there influenced by the way they play guitar and the scales they use this guy obviously doesn't understand how guitarists work

[@Joemommas]

dylmitch Yea of course. Almost all Rock from the 50s were 12 bar blues.This guy is just dumb.

[@kukawanga]

So here I am looking at this dude and his wool hat thinking he's gonna pull some Ben Harper stuff and I get THIS! Made my day!

[@hungerstriker27]

that epi casino is.... gorgeous....

[@bluesfanlenny]

I love GCJ. I posted some videos. I wish this was on his debut album. maybe the next album, I'm wishing!

[@braneworld]

god damn that guitar sounds good

[@Lilylibra]

Excellente!!!

[@sellmeyoursoul6601]

great voice

[@T0pMan15]

I imagine singing Johnny Be Goode on this haha but I love how Gary a wide range of blues artists to influence his songwriting.

[@paragagrawal6274]

[@kar0walk]

[@JoE-hv7rg]

I'm currently learning how to play guitar, I'm heavily inspired by Eddie Van Halen, and Chuck Berry, Both are my all time favorite players. I can honestly say Garry Clark Jr is on that list, wow amazing stuff. Best guitar player in recent history by far, this man is amazing. We all no guitar playing ain't supposed to be a sport, but it is. I bet the farm no matter who you bring Garry whips their ass, easily. Garry knows how to fuck your shit up lol. Guitar God status.

[@pickinandchillin2570]

I like it

[@AliCurry32]

[@gggossip]

Gary Clark Jr all day. I love me some John Mayer but he has nothing on Gary Clark Jr.

[@loveone4292]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@Magnum_Opus_Music]

Berry Clark 🎸

[@bluecafe509]

Chuck Berry style. Love it.

[@Skachild23]

I love John mayer and GCJ but its hard to pick Clark over Mayer because I've seen so much impressive work from him.

[@jonathanleonelify]

blues nice !!!

[@jccaldwell3518]

rock and roll

[@shirleymuhleisen683]

Chuck Berry is 🕺

[@easyguitarguy]

Rock 'n Roll, you can't beat it. One thing for sure you have listened to Chuck Berry......so did The Rolling Stones. :-))

[@whatup8356]

0:54 what do you call this kind of chord?

[@robinover2962]

+What Up A triad

[@wes23579]

After bitching and trolling on rap and pop videos all day, I feel like this is my salvation.

[@frizzlefrys333]

Love the muddy waters stomp - lol

[@Attitude-royale]

Wow, no bass, drums no rhythm guitar and it sounds perfect.

[@Cool19681]

I just really thinks he's great and he can also sing. Keep up the good work man.

[@frankensauerkraut]

nice back to the future-quote :p

[@kingjollygreen]

As Angus Young once said, Chuck Berry wrote every single riff for the guitar. Everyone since is simply putting their own spin on them. Every artist has their influences and pay homage to those influences, that's all this song is. I guess the Stones and Clapton stole everything from Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley and all the great blues artists too huh?

[@renos67]

go go johnny go

[@Killacorn]

fucking great!

[@BlackMusicGenre]

Chuck Berry would be proud of this joint !

[@zacharyjones256]

epiphone dot or sheraton or other? can't tell

[@savepunk]

damn

[@MrWholf]

@TheMrnaturals so no person is ever allowed to play anything remotely similar of an artist that inspired them? We would not have very many bands today. Chill, and be chill.

[@scottsmith8800]

Damm rigth.........

[@MRosegirl12]

Definite Chuck Berry Vibe

[@terrorcop101]

Way to play that six-string.

[@QSQCaito]

That's like saying SRV is regurgitated albert king licks.. then be it, bring em more.

[@edbaron95]

This is awesome. The radio guy doesn't sound to enthused though.

[@el_chief_dannyboy]

Oh shit! Chuck Berry is back! haha

[@alexandercaceres7327]

Chaka chaka boom chaka chaka

[@kfettschannel]

If Chuck Berry wasn't alive, I'd think he'd been reincarnated.

[@fatfredthe28th]

I'm sure whoever you listen to sounds like someone before them.

[@tombocombo7]

gary clark by a long shot. johnny is good by gary has so much more aiojdiohuiadoj to him

[@isaac_rodriguez17]

Very chuck berry

[@cmullen69]

He looks like Josh Smith

[@iama242424]

Chuck Berry re-born :)

[@TheZatrahc]
