I'm not sure what to think of your new style since you've started posting vids again. Your technique has obviously improved greatly and I love the improvising, but sometimes it lacks something coherent, like your former vids. Maybe you can solve that by throwing a couple of chords in there now and then, cause I loved the strumming vids as well. Nevertheless, I still think you're one of the best musicians on youtube. Fo sho :)

[wpo1956]

your music is beautiful,and you go out of your way to help others with their music..God speed John Clark

[ferllio23]

I'm still amazed about how many people you inspired into learning guitar.

Really awesome!

[sikkmage81]

I love the feel of this. I've finally transformed my playing into the same style as you when it comes to expressing emotions and moods through your strings. You truly show that fantastic ability to just feel your music, and in turn, your music speaks your words. It's beautiful the way it comes together and flows through, like Fear said, order and chaos, calm to thoughtful, quiet minded to running at high speeds and thoughts you don't understand, but follow down the foggy path anyway. Brilliant.

sweet. I still find it strange when seeing a crowd of people going crazy in front of speakers, dancing and living it up. With out the sound/noise/music(whatever happens to be on), those dancers would appear to be literally insane. But with the music in the background gives their movements purpose and life. so weird why we dance. was that deep? hahah

[96TRIDENT]

HI am very new to the playing of the guitar, your style and emotion is all the inspireation i will ever need many thanks for sharing.

[lippa000]

i like these improvisations u have made ....i play many times ...sometimes hour(s) with improvising something...playing and feeling and enjoying just notes...

do u use only down strokes on ur picado?.... or do u pluck notes sometimes up an down on fast parts..on about 1:58

[saadsnake6]

its good but not as most evolved

[xaramf]

Dude you put together good music

[23chrisskate23]

i completely agree with your description i really like this improvisation and i really appreciate all your music

[banjoboybest1]

your video is so relaxing

[Joeofiowa]

Improvisation. I've always struggled with it. I feel pulled back to the same basic fundamentals...a particular melody or beat that sticks in my head. I try to pull away, but always wind up back in the same place. If I really push, the whole composition snaps and goes flying into the realm of disorder and disjointedness. The true skill is in stretching without breaking. Reaching without falling. Maybe that's the balance of "order and chaos" TheFearco is talking about.

[atila120]

do you use high tension strings? what do you recommend?

[ruisu1357]

a great improvisation, you put feeling on it, it is somewhat sad, the frustation of don't know what to do, you expresed it greatly on this song, and yes musci is the way to express oneself feelings, music is the language of the soul

[jujaka77]

TO all shit talkers , read the description or learn to play guitar and get to a point where you feel the need to dish out mixed thoughts on a guitar.

[Dlajrsk8s]

I think its good, sometimes people just gotta hate, stay up man.

[The70srockfan]

dang how do you get that dramatic lighting with only the guitar and your arms lit up and everything else just BLACK. it really adds to the effect!

[johnclarkemusic]

@The70srockfan

I'm planning on doing a tutorial on how to do the lighting in the future. Thanks!

[scotty688]

@johnclarkemusic Oh please do that tutorial soon. I'd love to be able to do that.

[TheFearco]

is the purpose of music different for the player then for the listener?this improvisation is amazing if you can feel the order and the chaos,mixing together

[johnclarkemusic]

@TheFearco

Thanks for noticing that!

[etamarin]

Stay true to yourself. You're an artist and need to explore. I feel honored to witness the experimentation with your playing style. Most artist don't share this side of their work.  Ty!

[FlipGordon]

JOHN don't listen to anyone here if they knew anything about music they would see its an improvisation.

[supah1337B]

Damn John,

This video just made people shit on you.

[THClypse]

come on john :/

[lee00dub]

doesnt flow properly, unmusical and boring. you can do much much better than this - thats why I subscribed!!!

[Zemtex2451]

I want your old song thingies back!

[mlord1only]

try another key for your next vid:P 

[Manofdarkdesires]

somehow i dont like your improvisations, you made fantastic songs, but this is rather shity, unmusical and the technique is not that clean, sorry.... please go back to the roots ;)

[Angerdranker]

Good job you got the style down didnt here too much soul tap into it nice 1 though

[mrdominicsee]

[psychopathtoine]

[ecuaagua20]

@psychopathtoine its an improvisation

[psychopathtoine]

@ecuaagua20 i know!, but his apoyando is normally better :s

[farislucas]

Not his best improvisation as far as fluidity, but as far as displaying technique it was great

[frwyguy]
