Gary Clark Jr Guitar Lesson (Bright Lights)
Today I want to share with you an awesome Gary Clark Jr. guitar lesson. We’ll dive deep into his soulful song “Bright Lights”.
This tune is a one-chord blues, and I’ll break down how to play the rhythm and lead step-by-step.
So grab your guitar and let’s jam the blues!
Who wrote Bright Lights?
The song "Bright Lights" was written by Gary Clark Jr. himself. Gary Clark Jr. is an American musician and singer-songwriter known for his skillful guitar playing and blending various genres such as blues, rock, and soul. "Bright Lights" is one of his popular songs and has received critical acclaim for its energetic and soulful sound.
Although "Bright Lights" by Gary Clark Jr. has a similar title to another very famous blues song “Bright Lights, Big City”, by Jimmy Reed. The two songs are very different musically. They only really share similar titles and that’s it. To prove this I also have another lesson explaining the guitar part to Jimmy Reed’s tune, to see for yourself and compare the two songs.
Bright Lights Chords
Now get this: you only need one chord to play “Bright Lights!”
It’s Am. But we are going to play a little extension on the chord, Asus4. This serves as a slight variation, but the chord is still essentially Am. We’ll start on Am, and then move to Amsus4.
