SPIN Sessions: Gary Clark Jr. "Bright Lights"

[@diamend85]

still coming back to listen once in a while

[@ASpartan69]

I like to come back and listen to these acoustic renditions of his songs every now and then. I'm glad these are backup. I tried looking for these last years and I couldn't even find the SPIN youtube.

[@mattroper6110]

His strumming is ridiculous!!! So talented are you GCJ.

[@frauleota]

GARY CLARK, JR. IS THE TRUTH!

[@nightbird2011]

gaaawwwddd,, can't wait to see him... isn't this a beautiful musician and plus he's an actor! My gawwwdddd... a cultural creative, to the bone!

[@w1ngman319]

He kills it everywhere he goes, Summerfest in Milwaukee a couple nights ago was absolutely nuts. But then hearing these acoustic versions of his songs just makes me realize how even more how incredible this guy truly is: he can easily go off on a 5 minute electric solo on this song or just jam it out on the acoustic. Bravo Gary, bravo.

[@ryanrussell9491]

I just found out about this guy and I'm really diggin his music. Good stuff. Very unique artist.

[@american9245]

True artist. 1 guitar. 1 voice . Hes great.

[@spanglishwelsh]

[@CurtShanklin]

One of my new favorite artist!

[@PrettyDigital]

[@mikegalindez9703]

Saw him at summerstage nyc 7/28. Simply AMAZING!!!! He was incredible that day and is incredible.

[@travlr423]

Amazing artist in his talent of singing/songwriting and playing.

[@josecorisco1]

this guy is so great! the acoustic version of the song makes even more dramatic. The real life as it is.

[@billsimmalavong]

This song is unreal.

[@ItsDaddyBitch1]

Omg I fuckin love this guy.. He's every thing I aspire to be as a guitarist and musician .. I just found out about him today and I'm an instant fan :D

[@secretagentYTer]

its funny how everyone seems to want to make comparisons. hes gary clark Jr. and were seeing him at this moment, no need to try and describe his style when we can see exactly what it is

[@livelifelovedie42]

amazing...

[@Bangrmedia]

This bit has a great Bobby Womack feel to it, when he did California Dreamin' and Across 110th Street in live acoustic...

[@jo11emeia]

This is fucking blues. It's sad and beautiful at the same time.

[@ssgoten13]

@dinkymau Its a Epiphone Masterbilt. Its kind of like their answer to the smaller body styles that were very popular pre-war (OM, 000 sizes) and are starting to become popular again. They're pretty affordable for their type and from what I hear play just as well.

[@willyboyify]

Gibson Hummingbird sounds so good too :)

[@graciepearson]

golden

[@TheHanban95]

What a dude.

[@tonysosa3974]

DOPE!!!!

[@88SeanRay]

And not a single dislike was given. Oh yeaaa baby

[@ssgoten13]

@dinkymau They also have dreadnaught sizes which it looks like he is playing a single cut away version of it.

[@6BLSDEMON6]

Finally

[@VikButsev]

my favorite chords too )

[@simonabuonocore3109]

wow...

[@deamoeba]

jeeez lighten up

[@LISTEN2NY]

YES! NYC is the best! Check out our NYCROPHONE music video blog... Gary Clark Jr. is featured here as well!

[@Rhuarc]

The Truth

[@RokDAWG1]

Fuckin amazing

[@Santillana]

Amazing! anyone can help me with the model of the guitar?

[@PalatinProject]

Great performance! Congratulations! But what the heck is your guitar-tuning?

[@jamierobinson774]

I think it’s standard

[@clemp23]

Yeah it's standard. He plays sometimes in Open G but this track is standard

[@stuffedsheepshead]

I know, but I can't find the version used in MP3

[@jayfrizzlenizzle]

i love tribal music

[@wookyoftheyear]

Some kinda Epiphone, I think it's a Masterbilt but not sure the exact model. Good guitars.

[@phFUZZ]

Think it's an EF-500RCCE, slightly darker color than the MCE

[@ArielCardona]

It's an EF model. Probably an EF500MCE

[@SquidPartyGames]

What kind of guitar is this?

[@tdrake59]

Epiphone Masterbilt (500MCE I think). These are fantastic guitars.

[@SummersPep]

Hey Daniel :) dude... we must have the same brain waves for music... lol-

[@freedom1178]

slick money

[@jahmerican876]

EPIPHONE MASTERBUILT DR500

[@AnAverageSkeptic]

He's said Hendrix was his main influence. He's usually going to try and sound like Hendrix. Having a similar sound doesn't mean people think he's Jimi.

[@SquidPartyGames]

haha, it is uncanny, also its weird how you commented on one of my freinds videos

[@farneti305]

Hopefully those 6 people were just trying to fire up the J

[@bullguit]

Average guitar playing??? When did you last play at Crossroads with Clapton?

[@hlugerth4485]

Nope. Epiphone Masterbilt EF500RCCE I have one in my hand right now, so I can easily tell. :) But they look quite similar

[@lorenzobruno9221]

'ngùùùùùùl

[@hunterfagan6272]

Kinda sounds like watchtower

[@oliverandm]

he isn't technically anything special. I don't understand what's up with people. Gary Clark Jr. is a nice musician, and it's definitely cool that he's sort of getting the dirty blues back into the spotlight, but he's not a some virtuoso guitarist, he's very average.

[@adanacman666]

actually i like everything bout this dude but his rythem guitar playing defenetly needs some practice

[@dimitrisblatsios4706]

You are missing the point here. He is not a great guitar player. Rather average. But he s got a hell of a sound. Trademark.

[@chrisroberts4493]

Don't like it... Don't like it one bit. Appreciate the soul. Don't appreciate the melody or average guitar playing ...
