people keep commenting on various videos that gary clark sounds like hendrix or that he is the next hendrix. no. this guy is great, but his solos are nowhere near hendrix. people are just saying this beacuse he's black.
@eagleflyy He isn't Hendrix, like you sad... he is GARY CLARK JR. ... different style, no need to compare him with anybody ... and the fact that he is GCJ is quite enough for me and for many others. :) His music is awesome!
@TheBurninhead I agree 100% w/ eagleflyy! Hes not tryin to copy anybody! Its so hard to be orig. when your doin a hendrix, clapton, page, beck or any of those guys, gary moore, robbin ford, ya know, any of the great blues plyers of today, alls you can do really is try an play in the same vein as them! No matter what riffs you do/try, its already been played! So it has to come from the heart and then ya can't go wrond....period! johnnyguit12
No eric clapton, but I don't think he needs to attest to that. Gary brings an R&B influence to the blues. Labeling it contemporary Blues is a stretch but nevertheless Iit is 'mellifluous' to my ears.
@Tfrne just because he is black and plays guitar does not mean this guy sounds like hendrix. he's got his own style and sound, but it sounds nothing like hendrix.
@diggy3746 I don't think he sounds like Hendrix because he's black, I just think the solo he did sounded like Hendrix. If you listen to his other stuff, he's definitely got his own style, but here, he sounds like Hendrix to me. Nothing to do with him being black, though.
I'm a huge Beatles fan, and Gary is quickly becoming one of my favorite musicians, so this was outstannding for me. A great cover of a great song, and I don't like many Beatles covers.
@CindyAdzuki Yes, the best quality of any video for Gary. Now we can appreciate even more his exceptional voice and performance. Thanks for posting !!!
@theolschoolblues I just said the same thing on a different video! LoL, GCJ is the Truth!!!! I mean He was in "Honeydripper" the movie but I had no clue!!! He is amazing!
I think George Harrison would aprove what do you people think?
Sweet!!!
