Raw and dirty. Just like it should be. Cheers.

For those who think this is nothing special, you completely miss the point of blues music. If you judge a blues guitarist or artist based on technical wizardry, then once again, you miss the point. Blues' beauty lies in its simplicity. Nailing the feeling of blues is far more important than how fast or complex the riffs are. Gary has got that feeling. You can tell he's listened to A LOT of blues just from this simple video. That's how you learn that feeling. If you want 'wizardry', listen to Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and Eric Johnson.

One of the best 12-bars I’ve ever heard. Simple, unhurried and magic in every way. Huge respect.

Simplicity heals the soul

I feel like I'm going through the south, on a bus, staring outside the window while these two are jamming at the back.

Gary Clark is a ridiculously underrated blues man

At 79 years of age I’m loving this music!

Amazing man , was in that rhythm with mind ,body and soul loved it respect 🙏 god bless

My grandpa use to play this on his gatar every day and night my grandma loved it I did to I miss him so much.. He and my grams passed away all i have is memories of them but this song he use to play helps me cope with their lost i miss them so much my heart hurts.. 😭❤

As a Asian who 'learned' listening to blues music in d 70's as a teenager was a radical change n deed for me, I banned all my sisters n bros not to use my player with local song records. I grew up with rock n' roll n blues music. Now I m still dig rock n' roll n blues music. Blues gives me a momentum in life.

That has to be one of the best blues I’ve ever heard I’m a fan now

So simple yet so effective...this is what all music should be like

We're gonna be talking about Gary Clark Jr. decades from now like he's a regular ol' guitar legend (he is already to me).

There's a reason one of the guitar legends asked him to tour with him. He's as authentic as they come!

Playing using the guitar as voice to talk and answer playing how you express yourself is where i want to be. I have only had short experiences of it over years. I have great admiration for the guitarist that truly play with their feelings. One comes to mind David Gilmour

The Blues comes from the Heart of Lifetime Hardships, and Struggles that your Inner Soul can capture and express through Music

I have always liked the blues great music

For all of you guys saying GCJ isn't technically as good as his contemporary blues artists (as in slow speed), just remember that blues was born out of the most average people that had a gift for creating emotion through song. BB King started playing guitar bc his pastor played guitar, and he learned practically everything from his cousin Bukka White, no books, no learning about modes and complicated chords until near the end of his life . His playing is much slower than SRV or Clapton, but guess who idolized him? Fuckin Paul Butterfield and Bloomfield. The theory is that over time, to progress the genre, musicians began to employ more technicality, not to throw the older players in the dirt, but to continue their legacy. GCJ is raw, and from what I've read, grew in the same isolation as the early blues players. Derek Trucks, who played a solo basically at B.B.'s speed in front of him, was told by B.B it was "the best he ever heard it". Does that mean I think SRV or Clapton or Mayer is bad? Absolutely not, Clapton is my favorite guitarist of all time. It's two different styles of improvisation, and I don't think it's fair to say one is better than the other. And to be quite honest, in this clip GCJ has a Big Bill Broonzy vibe, one of CLAPTONS heroes

Nothing beats 12 bar beat blues... And it's not going away..

All those ole Delta legend blues man and even modern blues man, just keep it alive an healthy. just feel tha blues brotha

It's nice to see The Blues come home.

very nice of Mr.Clark to let this guy jam with him...and film it too...

This sounds like what the guitars first language would be. Like it's the fundamentals of everything and it's feeling the guitar out as opposed to just making it do what you want. It also feels like the strings are connected to his soul. Blues is deep music, it's born out of pain and suffering and resilience, as well as the ironic beauty of sorrow. It may be difficult for some people to empathize with the literal history of the blues, but anyone can empathize with that screaming sadness, that gut wrenching rage at the hopelessness of our situations. 😊

This is the blues... 12 bar acoustic delta blues is the best ... I can listen To this shit all day ... Lightnin hopkins

That's what blues is all about, every note, every sound caressed, like the lips of a beloved, without rushing with class and authenticity. Way to go.🙂👍☀️👏🎸🍒🎵🎤❤️

Clark's fingers are just so dang long...I got to wonder "what else COULD he ever do?" ...this man was born to play guitar!

Thank God the Blues lives on !!!

Wait for it! The last 10 seconds of the video, DAYUM!!

For those who claim that GCJR doesn’t know how to play the blues. #1. You’re not a guitarist/musician #2. You’re a hater. #3. You haven’t seen him live.

Gary Clark Jr. has a new Fan :)

This is so Hot it burnt my ears.... What a performance.

Amazing!

I've had the pleasure of seeing the lovely Mr. Clark several times. He continues to evolve and grow musically. I look forward to seeing him whenever he comes to town.

The best thing about a good blues jam is that it can turn into a conversation with no words. This was bloody amazing. Ausgezeichnet for our German colleagues! :)

Clark jr was truly hitting those blues and that other guy was freakin NAILING IT! kudos to both of them

Wow super Blues Thank you bjutiful 🌏🙏🍀❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹

Amazing, out of this world, back to my roots.

Nice -- acoustic 12-bar blues as it should be. Will keep coming back here.

The quality of digital recording now is a pleasure to hear. The guitars sound organic, like they are in the room with us. Excellent GCjr. tones!!

He keeps getting better and better. Definitely got his 10000 hours in now!

Saw this man in a small amphitheater in NC…and you could literally walk up to the curtain of the stage. No security gate or wall, and let me tell you…he and his band was them MF’s. They was like that. Great night. Great music. Great show.

Le blues c'est comme l'or, ça restera toujours une valeur sûre.

O sentimento é tão bom que dá vontade de errar o tempo da música pra poder ficar ali mais tempo, naquele momento q tu sente de verdade.

This man is simply great. Keep it up.

One of the gnarliest grooves I’ve heard

No esperaba menos de Gary. Además de impecable me pone la piel de gallina al ver como el rock and roll fluye de sus manos ! Cómo transmite.

Hey Gary... great musicianship and technical mastery. I'll be listening to you!

Amazing. He is such an underated guitar player.

Every great blues riff was just touched on in this little jam session 😂🤟

Thank you for reminding me of how the blues are supposed to be played. You guy's are awesome!!!!

This brings me way back to when I was young and my kid brother used to play this for me after we'd shoot crabs off the end the barrells of our bb-guns and climb the cliffside with the guard rail rope back to the wayside house. Grey skies. All blue after sad American summer afternoons at the baseball diamond. Love it.

This is the way how to play the blues with a style and sensation of the groove.. !

I have enjoyed all genres of music & guitar over 40 years and i now find blues to be like a coming home. It's just like sipping Jack Daniels on the rocks. Delicious!
