Long time ago when I first saw Clapton, I thought he was a virtuoso with the guitar playing so clean, easy, and free, but his sets were leading too much with the guitar instead of drums or bass laying it down. However, after listening to him for a while, I realized he was dominating in his own inimitable way. I rate him the BEST overall guitarist in that he can play a variety of styles.
Is no one else getting sick of these stupid Chuck Norris comments they are not funny never will be, why did they start in the first place Chuck Nobhead is the shittist Human thats ever lived
You don't allow embedding of your videos they don't get shared on Facebook--people will not take the extra step to come to Youtube to view it--so fuck you.
Always loved this song, and the video is great even after the camera crashed they didn't miss a beat! He indeed is the best :P Also, I thnk thats Donald "Duck" Dunn on bass which is cool to see him! He usually has Nathan East nearby. All in all top notch!
@chinook2008 I know what mean you mean about Clapton. He really does have a great tone and you look at the recent clips of him clean and sober and he seems even better than ever.
Clapton's sound is amazing. I know they say not to mirror your style after anybody, but this is the best sounding guitar and his rhythm is spot on. They call him slowhand for a reason.
In this video: Duck Dunn in Bass, the great late Jeff Porcaro in Drums, Gilmour's Pink Floyd's Tim Renwick in guitar (he played that awesome guitar parts on Al Stewart's The Year of the Cat classic tune...
Fantastic tone by Eric here, even thought the video sound is not live
Grab sum Fender Vintage Noiseless pups and attach a baseplate... a VOX AC15 or 30 depending ..or even a cheap Fender Mustang II usingthe VOX model will get you there quick
I always thought the country guitarist Jerry Reed could have done this song...COUNTRY. That would have been interesting. Claptin...of course...is great!
a great tune by jerry lynn williams eric is on fire with a welcome guitar solo that rocks!! jeff porcaro on drums and steve lukather on rhythm guitar.what a collaboration eric and L A 'S finest players!! nathan east on bass and ted templeman on timbales!!
@leoperg thats right,the players in the video with the exception of clapton and marcy levy are just in the video and not on the album track which is what i was saying.on the album the players are who i said was on there! this is not a live track!
@leoperg yes i know as i,ve already posted the players in the video with the exception of marcy levy are not on the album audio that accompanies the video! or are you just screwing with me?
@leoperg as i,ve already stated previously the players in the video with the exception of eric and marcy levy ,are not on the song you're hearing,they are just posing for the camera! check out the album credits and all will become clear!!
he absolutely HATED this song and this video shoot. He did it to make the recording company happy.
