Gary Clark Jr. - Bright Lights [Live from Dave Matthews Band Caravan Chicago 2011]

[o1zeidler]

i want to make love to that guitar

[doodleguitarist]

Epiphone :D

[Thiagobrum15]

Eu quer uma epiphone dessa...

[Acu1Doc]

fuzz - it's still king. great performance

[MKRocker2012]

His tone is godly

[marguitar1]

@MKRocker2012 Yeah, he's realized those EPI Casino guitars are unique in the way of helping to produce that tone!

[HtownTomboy]

i love how he improvises his guitar solo.. like his awesome talents just comes naturally.. that's something you just don't see nowadays and I'm 14 :-/

[gaelicbanshee]

THE TONE IS KILLER. GARY RIPS, A PLAYER FOR SURE. [Note: And that is just a cheap Epi.]

[marguitar1]

@gaelicbanshee Those guitars are cheap but they have a unique sound that you don't get even with some of the more expensive Gibsons. He's realized that, and created his own thing out of it! It gives an almost psychedelic/garage rock tone to his blues which is interesting!

[grr2373]

finaly something nowadays thats real !



[ultval]

Hey, I'm true to R&B and Gospel but this Guy wore that guitar out.  LOVE IT!!

[Uigei]

Deep....you gone know my name ! The truth !

[Trone33]

Amazing! But I think the acoustic version of this he did for spin was better

[DaFunkyPrecedent]

Of of 2011's songs of the year...no DOUBT

[soullutions2]

I can not get enough of this song!!!

[TheShammies]

Heard this at the end of the first House of Lies episode and immediately fell in love with it! He sounds a lot like Dan from The Black Keys.

[DavidGilmourrocks]

Wow he totally gave that guy a solo, thats fucking amazing right there.

[adjemes]

my dad is on the drums.. beat that second top comment...

[theHALLOWEDmetal]

@adjemes whats your dads name ?

[hartung692]

my uncles in the very back, cleaning the sh!ter

[mrmushbrain]

his crazy crunch tone remindes me a bit of jack white's

[mrmushbrain]

He loves his hollowbodies

[xena1154]

thank you it`s great!!!! Have a happy Christmas! That is a kind of music I love can not explain why!!!He knows how to play the E guitar!!! And tthe sound is sooo good! Thank`s for sharing!!!!

[tammymirandamusic]

Gary blows Kanye West away....talent, personality, gentle kind nature.....hands down one of Austin's finest musicians.....soon to me the Nations!

[jkoff76]

Awesome guitar!!

[GabiWilsonTV]

"Bright Lights, big city, done gone to my baby's head.I tried to tell the woman but she don't hear a thang I said".

That's an old Jimmy Reed song.I learned to play guitar listening to him.So did Eric Clapton,Bob Dylan, Keith Richards, Angus Young.

[jstrange18]

im the asshole who brings up beiber

[Shimmy2234]

The second coming of Jimi Hendrix

[TravellingMan79]

@Shimmy2234 Yeah......I think maybe not. Seriously not.........

[picklemetro]

Anyone know what guitar pedal he uses during his solos mostly the first short solo that dirty mean tone!

[wuhoolalalala]

drummer looks like brad pitt from fight club

[MMMAAATTTLLL]

I would never put kanye west. In the same sentence as Gary Clark Jr.

[SAMPENINGTON]

such a tune!

[jimmypage1616]

my uncle is the drums

[2khawk]

best version of this song!

[68punkster]

finally a great artist.......

[phunkybiotch]

I would hate to follow him at that show. Holy shit!

[Claymation99]

This is so much better than his Crossroads performance

[lmour866]

im always expecting the guitar to just burst into flames after solos like that

[marvelsquantis]

Such a bad ass song.

[wyliexc]

that little triplet picking that he does in a lot of his solos is awesome

[talamon01]

I keep typing "Bright lights big city" in the search button, and cee lo green keeps poping up, *sign* took me half an hr to find the artist name,

one day my friend everyone will know your name, we all want everyone to know our name...

[DKViola]

Kickass solo!

[joegagan]

fking great that  is all

[alexxhje]

Good version! But I think the Crossroads version is 'better'. I thinks it has a little bit more groove and I don't really like the second guitar in this version. But GCJ kicks ass anyhow!

[themastroiannis]

@alexxhje couldn't agree more! there was something really special at the Crossroads version! magical, really! here is gone.... more bluesy and loud and aggressive, predictable; still good but without the subtlety of Crossroads 2010. i loved that 2nd electric guitar player at crossroads! oh well...

[jrsully516]

@themastroiannis The Second guitar player? Are you talking about Doyle Bramhall II?

[jrsully516]

And before anyone gets confused, I'm talking about the Crossroads performance

[SDsailor7]

@alexxhje I agree with you..this one is exellent but i am partial to the Crossroads version...Must be because that is where i saw/heard him first.

best wishes

[WhereAreMyChucks]

i have that same guitar strap

[mcarrera77]

OMG

[sgcoolin]

that 90 second solo is one of the best I've heard. love the part where he talks to the guitar, lol.

[JesusMakeUpMyDyinBed]

Bought his album and I wasn't disappointed. Do yourself a favor and get it. This cat has soul!

[MassTwingles]

Holy Shit!

[bassplayer4445]

kick ass

[aravis72]

This is such an incredible song. It makes me want to sell my soul to the devil.

[Lulabelle57]

YOU ROCK GARY!!!!!!!!!!

[ZepIV]

Black guy on a Sheraton playing gritty blues... just like the good Lord willed

[rudmanev]

who else thinks he looks stoned as shit? ..his eyes are at half-mast.

[weber658]

sort of sounds like the Black Keys. its great!

[awesomeo79]

@weber658 yea it really does



[23Ramst]

We were right in the front row for this...it blew me away! Afterwards we saw him walking around and we were glad (we knew his name). Really chill nice guy happy he's finally getting some attention for his fantastic jamming

[briangore1990]

IDK why he played it so fast? he sped that WAY up compared to the actual tempo of the song.

[mykalsc]

@briangore1990 I was thinking the same thing. Looses a little of its groove.

[DKViola]

What guitar is Gary playing here?

[pallerdog]

@DKViola Epiphone

[DKViola]

@pallerdog Yeah but which model. I can't find it anywhere

[pallerdog]

@DKViola I bet it is a custom made model.

[xnecrontyrx]

@pallerdog Its an epiphone elitist casino

[DKViola]

@xnecrontyrx Yeah but it's got the white plate which this hasn't

[highburyo]
