@stephcab I meant that as a joke I think it's great you are listening to clapton, there are many others you might like as well but clapton is one of the all time greatest.
I am only 26 years old and I have listened to music my whole life. THIS is real music and today's CRAP is exactly that... CRAP and nothing close to music...
You can always tell a great artist by their longevity. If people still like it 40 years later, you know that they're awesome. I had the privilege of seeing Clapton just last year. He's still got it folks.
Excellent piece of work!! Thank you very much for Sharing!!!!!
What a way of meeting people and get to see their talent. At first was reluctant being on youtube, but getting to do this has brought me into the houses of some very special people. You are one of them. Life; isn't it wonderful!!! Keep up the good work. Hope You Are Having A Splendid Day!!!!
Playing 'the blues"...ain't like playing a "classical piece of Music " of say Bach or Beethoven, or even Mozart...the blues is more than that~~it's more from the heart, than the head~~feel me ?
I just turned twenty last monday(13.09) and I'm listening to blues since 4 years. This music keeps me outta trouble and make me feel happy. No one in my Age is listening to blues and some of those are saying "blues is dead", "what kind of granny music are you listening" and so on...
But I don't give a damn! Blues is life, blues never will die, thanks to all the great blues musicians. But there is one thing. on the 27th of August god made a great mistake. He took SRV away from earth. RIP to all
Since "from the craddle" Clapton changed his playing style. I like it but I also like the way he played in the seventies and sixties especially on the Beano-album with John Mayall.
Thats the music Im talking about... I mean I love metal. But the Blues is as raw as it comes and takes alot of skill. Clapton has always been one of my fave guitarests hope to see him before I die. BRING BACK THE BLUES!!!!
To you tasteful young people here. The Blues is one of the earliest forms of all popular music, it is pure and real. Playing Blues is the greatest way to express your pain and emotion. I know first hand, You're on the right path. ;) Love Eric.
where are all you from that are bitching about "no young ppl like the blues"? very much alive and well here in kitchener-waterloo, ontario, among all age groups! come to kitchener in august for one of the few remaining FREE blues festivals and see all the young (mostly local) talent that graces the smaller stages, and be treated to superstars in the evenings on the main stage (lucky peterson, david wilcox, taj mahal, debbie davies, shawn kellerman...etc....)
Well, I did know that he plays the piano. That is something I knew about House. You claim that if I knew anything about House, then I would know that he also plays guitar. You are obviously incorrect. I something about him, but didn't know he played guitar.
Clapton has a great (maybe underappreciated) blues voice and keeps pushing the band all the way moving into the next part of the song with his backing licks and fills, great
Much love to all you guys saying you were born in the wrong generation because todays music is shit! I wish more people would see how great this is. But you know what, that makes us lucky to know what great music is. so i appreciate that fact.
Its awesome hearing him in more of a practice mode... you can tell hes not just playing the lines he has practiced to stage perfection - hes much looser then he sounds with an audience. I thought Clapton was incapable of hitting a wrong note.
Wow. I absolutley agree that this is the real music. Im 17 and I can't find anyone my age that listens to this. The blues just has so much feeling. My generation sucks!!
Agree, completly there m8. Im 14, nearly 15, and all my friends, apart from a minority, like this kind of stuff. Most of them like these meaningless music, and artists that do the same thing over and over again (love) + they only do it for the money and media -.- I love stuff from the 70's 60's and The clapton stuff.
people say the 50's suck, but they're thinking of crooners. Bluesbands from the 50's(Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters, Otis Rush) were still some of the best bands in the world.
You found another. I'm fourteen. Trying to play in a bluesband, but no one is interested. Love classic rock and blues. Too bad there is so little of us in America. I'm in the Bay Area in California. So much rap and hip hop. I hate it.
@hendrixkixas Well, I had the same feelings when I was 14. I just wanted to play blues and got kind of frustrated 'cause everybody was into Guns'n'Roses, Metallica, etc, etc... Find your peers, try to do your own thing and forget about the rest. There are people like you who want to play blues. Not too much, but maybe because of that blues is more real & authentic than all the mainstream crap.
I co,pletly agree with you. but, remember true musicians get on an instrument and play not a synthesiser. keep the blues alive. I play the piano by the way.
@DylanCobb I know how ya feel. I am the only person who I know that when a conversation about the blues starts, they have no idea. I just cant believe how dense we are as a generation.
@bluesbaby100 hey man i just turned 17 on the 18th of may, man i agree with you i absolutely love the blues the most out of everything our generation does suck. :d add me or whatever you do on youtube to become friends
@bluesbaby100 matey i love blues to i listen nothing but the blues i play the blues, and i feel it, peter green, stevie ray vaughan, eric clapton, bb everyone i like. im in the same situation as you i used to get laughed at when i was at school for playing blues so much, but i want our generation to pick on what used to be the main music!!
@bluesbaby100 you know, the odd thing is i`ve been reading a lot of comments like yours lately. And i`m not sayin that it's another one of those cliche comments, i really believe there aren't many in you entourage to appreciate this type of music, but it seems to me that it's started to catch on again. I, myself, am 21and had been listening mainly to hip hop music until about 3-4 years ago and i'm sorry i didn't turn to blues much younger. it's never too late, though
@bluesbaby100 Groups like Disturbed and Iron Maiden and other modern hard rock bands find inspiration in the grand-daddy of them all, Led Zeppelin. Led Zep's first two albums were cemented in the blues.
@KeepOnBluesin haha i dig that! "new blues generation" for all the young people out there, which now i found that there are alot of, to come together and just enjoy real music.
@bluesbaby100 yea man me too !!! i have a fender usa black strat tis the shit we should jam the fuk out to the blues one day on a open mic night and melt peoples faces and skull fuck them through my fender blues deluxe amp and tube screamer lol peace dude !!!! :D
@bluesbaby100 hey i'm 18 now i believe we are the same age or at least around there...and i too believe that this is incredible piece of music and eric clapton is one of my guitar idols....
@bluesbaby100 right there with you, Im 16 and I LOVE Eric Clapton, especially his older stuff. I have trouble finding people in school who feel the same way, they are all off listening to lady gaga and kanye west crap
@bluesbaby100 Im 18 and have been a blues fan since i started playin guitar years ago and this has always been a favorite of mine Clapton is such an amazing artist and i could listen to him all day but unfortunately none of my friends feel the same its a pity
when i have time to waste, i know the way to spend it better is to look for his live vids on the net. unfortunately here in italy you can find only few people who listen to blues music and EC, especially of my age (i'm 18). but the real music is this. period.
Not really, he's just the best of the mediocre ones. Occasionally plays something spectacular, most of the time its just his muscle memory and not enough soul.
Dude! What the hell do you know about soul. He puts it all out there. It's amazing when you see him live. I saw this blues tour. I sat through two hours of Jimmy Vaughn and it was all worth it. I thought I was all bluesed out but man he blew the roof off that joint!!! You listen to him play but you have to appreciate how he sings while he does it . The guy is off of the charts!
That's the reality of music. Muscle memory is how everyone plays most of the time. Everyone. When you've been in the studio for 24 hours trying to get a single cut, or on the road for 80 shows just trying to finish up, the inspiration is not always there. I'd like to see how much of your playing is muscle memory after going through one of EC's tours or cutting an album with him.
Firstly, you can only ever describe YOUR reality of music, not mine or Claptons. Players default to that 'going through the motions' or 'muscle memory' playing when they feel uninspired. I am fully aware of the effect of musical fatigue, I have done day and night long studio sessions myself. Players can be forgiven for sounding uninspired occasionally, Mayer plays uninspired rhetoric far too much of the time.
Everyone who knows something back to front can simply go through the motions to get the job done, but what you essentially said was that Clapton (along with being mediocre), goes through the motions most of the time. I sometimes find him boring, & think that he misses the mark every now & then, but he is far from a mediocre blues man & to say that he lacks soul and simply goes through the motions most of the time, is ignorant.
He simply would not such a celebrated blues-man if that was the case.
Hi Junnage & RayHogan - After I read your comments for this video I actually signed up for youtube 'cause one of my amps is a Fender Deluxe and one of my guitars (surprise) =P is a Clapton Signature(noisless vintage pickups).
That combo will make a VERY Clapton like sound indeed I have to say! even added the Ibanez TS808 tube screamer which made it a lot better.
I prefer the recording for "Nothing But the Blues" (Scorsese), but it's interesting to hear him sing it this way - almost 'sweeter,' or 'gentler' at times.
I picked up a Fender Signature Eric Clapton, plugged it into a Fender Blues Deluxe and it sounded like Clapton. I was surprised by how close it was to his tone
and just the other day, I had the pleasure of plugging both another signature Clapton Strat and another Clapton strat (that he 'used' but signed) into a '57 Fender Twin and there was no difference at all. If that means I play like Clapton does, I'd thank God so much...oh wait God=Clapton!
That's right, all you need is two hands, a good guitar and amp and you're ready to whirl!! Saw EC with Steve Winwood on June 29th in Oakland and by FAR it was the most AMAZING guitar playing I have ever witnessed!! Every EC solo was a masterpiece of art that left me emotionally spent. The MAESTRO!!!
This version is my favorite, the guitar tone is awesome and Eric is red hot. He plays with great feel and intensity and doesn't let it turn into a long and dragged out jam band thing.
I appreciate your comment, but the Scorsese version was better because the lead guitar went on a "ride" , that took you higher and higher. Also , you can really see Eric holding back on this song. He shortened many phrases that he normally would have just let loose on.
very cool... thanks for posting!!!

That's the reality of music. Muscle memory is how everyone plays most of the time. Everyone. When you've been in the studio for 24 hours trying to get a single cut, or on the road for 80 shows just trying to finish up, the inspiration is not always there. I'd like to see how much of your playing is muscle memory after going through one of EC's tours or cutting an album with him.

True, the grooves are etched deep; but occasionally meatanoia happens. Muscles make mistakes then there are new muscle memory patterns.

Firstly, you can only ever describe YOUR reality of music, not mine or Claptons. Players default to that 'going through the motions' or 'muscle memory' playing when they feel uninspired. I am fully aware of the effect of musical fatigue, I have done day and night long studio sessions myself. Players can be forgiven for sounding uninspired occasionally, Mayer plays uninspired rhetoric far too much of the time.

Everyone who knows something back to front can simply go through the motions to get the job done, but what you essentially said was that Clapton (along with being mediocre), goes through the motions most of the time. I sometimes find him boring, & think that he misses the mark every now & then, but he is far from a mediocre blues man & to say that he lacks soul and simply goes through the motions most of the time, is ignorant.
He simply would not such a celebrated blues-man if that was the case.

Hi Junnage & RayHogan - After I read your comments for this video I actually signed up for youtube 'cause one of my amps is a Fender Deluxe and one of my guitars (surprise) =P is a Clapton Signature(noisless vintage pickups).
That combo will make a VERY Clapton like sound indeed I have to say! even added the Ibanez TS808 tube screamer which made it a lot better.

The solo as is as smooth as the cream color of his guitar. . .

I prefer the recording for "Nothing But the Blues" (Scorsese), but it's interesting to hear him sing it this way - almost 'sweeter,' or 'gentler' at times.

I picked up a Fender Signature Eric Clapton, plugged it into a Fender Blues Deluxe and it sounded like Clapton. I was surprised by how close it was to his tone
Junnage 3 years ago 2
Yes, actually his rig isn't that complicated, I love that how he uses simple tools and has a great tone!

and just the other day, I had the pleasure of plugging both another signature Clapton Strat and another Clapton strat (that he 'used' but signed) into a '57 Fender Twin and there was no difference at all. If that means I play like Clapton does, I'd thank God so much...oh wait God=Clapton!

Where did you get to play them strats? Jealous == me!
RayHogan 2 years ago
at this shop near where I live. It's called "Mandolin Brothers". I think they sold the signed Clapton strat though.

That's right, all you need is two hands, a good guitar and amp and you're ready to whirl!! Saw EC with Steve Winwood on June 29th in Oakland and by FAR it was the most AMAZING guitar playing I have ever witnessed!! Every EC solo was a masterpiece of art that left me emotionally spent. The MAESTRO!!!

This version is my favorite, the guitar tone is awesome and Eric is red hot. He plays with great feel and intensity and doesn't let it turn into a long and dragged out jam band thing.

This is really great, and it´s hard to believe, but his version in Scorsese´s "Nothin but the blues" is even better.
kinggreenbaum1966 4 years ago
I appreciate your comment, but the Scorsese version was better because the lead guitar went on a "ride" , that took you higher and higher. Also , you can really see Eric holding back on this song. He shortened many phrases that he normally would have just let loose on.
