VIDEO: Gary Clark Jr jams electric blues
Rising star sits down and rocks out for Total Guitar
Gary Clark Jr is an artist making serious impact with his unique take on blues and soul, earning iconic fans including Eric Clapton and Barack Obama.
While the US President may be calling him 'the future', Gary's bold guitar playing is rooted in the classic heritage of the blues. Something this exclusive jam for us ahead of his recent gig at London's Highbury Garage proves beyond doubt.
