Gary Clark, Jr. – A Must See
Gary Clark, Jr. is a brilliant young Texas guitarist who many believe has taken on Stevie Ray Vaughan’s mantle of best Texas blues guitarist. His talent is virtually unparalleled, but now he’s made a serious statement about what it’s like to be African American in the south, especially in the time of Trump. This is a must see, trust me.
Mr Clark you had me at your Les Paul SG (and its humbucker). You ain’t SRV, but then no one is. Tuff enuff, dude. Tuff enuff.
1I love Gary Clark, Jr. No disrespect to SRV, one of the greatest ever. It’s like which is exquisite wine vintage is better? Who cares, let’s drink them both.
2Excellent – will re-post everywhere. As a Jew coming into some very “Christian” bible belt folks – being a white “ni***r” in so many places just brings out the rottweiler in me (excuse me while I open up this can of whoop-ass, don’t need your name).
3Been a Gary Clarke Jr fan for a few years now. Thanks for posting this. New songs from Gary are always a treat.
4Mind blowing!!!!!!!!!
5I love Gary Clark, Jr.
6Gary Clark, Jr. is a national treasure.
7Here is just one of the reasons that SRV is the GOAT…

Look at a few of the comments….
“You know there’s something crazy going on when a sound check is better than most performer’s live concerts.”
“Wake up, throw on the pimp jacket, and show ’em how to play a guitar.”
“you know you’re good when your Sound Check vid has nearly 7 million views. Stevie left us too soon.”

9Wow. Thank you for sharing such a powerful video
10El Jefe and Micr:
11Thank you both.
When I first read this, I thought it said Guy Clark, jr., and I was surprised because I didn’t know Guy had a son.
12So, at this moment I’m sitting in an Irish bar in Chicago. And the song they’re playing is this one. Small world, eh?
13Just google Gary Clark Jr. and something about rollin on. He is not SRV, or Jimi. He is GCJ. and live will tweak your brain. always better at Antone’s, but you know.
