i played this song earlier today, and im sitting here with my guitar in my lap listening to this in shock. i literally dropped my hands off the guitar and just shook my head.
@PeanutNore John Mayall, the album is John Mayall's Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton, AKA the beano album (erics reading a beano comic on the front cover ) great edgey album...
The sounds here are Ereic Clapton on the John Mayall and The Blues Breakers "Beano" album circa 1966.....'round 46 years ago. What tone...technique and execution--listening to this clip is a life changing event. Your ears will never be the same! If ya dig the blues in this vein check us out on youtube- johnnyguitar335
@gamester57 John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers featuring Eric Clapton, AKA the Beano Album. By the whole thing, not just this song, its totally worth it
I love Rock N Roll groups like Led Zeppelin and the Stones but if you look behind the group's music and dig deep most of it came from Blues songs written by African Americans and yes this includes Elvis. I Challenge any of you to research the original songs written by (Rolling Stones/ Muddy Waters Howlin Wolf), (Led Zeppelin/ Willie Dixon) (Elvis/ Aurthor Cruddup) and others. You'll find a poor black man that got ripped off at the root of the songs. "If you tell it; tell it like it is".
glasman857 if you stole licks from this tune you stole them from an African American gutarist named Freddie King and so did Erick Clapton! (If you tell it; tell it like it is).
@dbailey3887 Of all the guitarists I love, Clapton is tops specifically because he's very conscious to aknowledge his influences and to be sure they get the recognition they deserve. Anyone who is a true Clapton fan has read numerous interviews in which he gives Freddie King the credit he deserves. In fact, you should know the two men toured together in the 70's. If it weren't for Clapton, I wouldn't have heard most of the original bluesmen I have grown to love. For this, I'm indebted to him.
could somebody explain me why Eric Clapton is so great? I mean, B.B King loves the man, and I do really believe he is a good man. But is he also a good guitar player.
Well, alright let's say he's good. But so are several dudes I know..
Could somebody tell what makes Clapton God?
Maybe it's got something to do with me, cause I don't believe in God..
@jawzey clapton was THE guitar player in the 60's. him, jimmy page, and jeff beck all tore shit up back then. clapton basically invented rock music. he was one of the first to turn his amp to 10 and he just ripped. listen to cream and you'll find out.
@sakowihe75 Thats at least nice to know. I like musicians like that. Stilll it doesn't catch me, but hey. Maybe in the future he will. I absolutely do like his licks, but the music bores me after a couple of minutes (mostly not the entire song) His music is really fun to play though.
First, thanks for posting this fabulous evergreen! I'd just like to point out that although the video seem to celebrate the Fender Stratocaster, this piece was actually performed on a Gibson Les Paul.
A pioneer means one of the beginning. Stevie also is one of my favorite guitar players. Many people don't understand why I say Eric Clapton is a pioneer among some others. When he began to be known a new era was starting. Guitar players began to play old blues songs using distorted tones, began playing faster, were writing new songs based on these licks but outside the blues structures... And some are now coming back to the beginning. Stevie came 20 years after... And Garry More... ;-(
well yall need to go check out me junior hooker playing this tune sorry its short but i cant get the dang thing to record longer its just on a ten watt amp check it out anyway no pedals no loud volume unfortnately
Calling Clapton a pioneer is like giving credit to Henry Ford for inventing the wheel. Also the fact that he was "developing" the use of overdrive for his gritty guitar sound had nothing to do with Clapton but far more to do with the current trend and manufacturing from the likes of Fender and Marshall ie amps that were easy to overdrive. Clapton is a good guitarist, in fact he's a very good guitarist but he isn't a blues pioneer nor did he invent an overdriven sound.
Let's be clear, PIONEER? Hardly! Like this song, Clapton ripped off half his stuff from Freddie King who was playing HIS licks before Eric owned a guitar. Let's give credit where it's due. This 'revision' of guitar history to credit derivative artists for other's ideas and work is a crime. We all have to learn from someone and Clapton took his ideas from Freddie King (and to a lesser extent B.B. King and Buddy Guy). They don't call Freddie the KING for nothing.
Eric Clapton is a master in his music. He compliments the guitar. The Guitar compliments him. Unlike so many who their singing comes first, then the guitar, Capton is different. He sings along with the guitar. Clapton is a master.
This may not be as fluid as Freddie King, but as some of the other notes suggest, keep things in perspective. Clapton had only been playing a short while and his exposure to this music was very limited in early 60s London. One thing NOT to forget is the fact that this tune and the Beano album defined the Les Paul/Marshall sound that so many are still attempting to emulate today. And if you want to hear Clapton 'sizzle', listen to 'Have You Heard' and 'Little Girl' from this album. Ripping stuff!
@mckenzie818 You got it- the tone from that album is so good it obviously pushed Clapton to new heights- heights that IMO he never returned to. I like Eric's take on it and I'll bet Freddie would have too, and that's enough for me.
how dose that guy remember what song his playing his got so many hahahaha i wish i could offord to see him but that will never happen oh well thank goodness for you tube ive been a clapton fan since the 60s long live george
He was 19 when this was recorded. I'd been playing guitar for a couple years and thought I was getting pretty good. then I heard this. Uh, back to the woodshed for this boy. This tone is the best Les Paul tone I have ever heard, by anyone anywhere any time. Holy Mother of Pearl.
if anybody can help me i would like them to put my videos on the same page to the right i dont know how and i cant drop a video response can someone help me thank you
yes eric clapton gets down the tone is smoking anyways thanks for the vids check out junior hooker version of hideaway they wont let me put a video response anyways hope u enjoy
Clapton isn't really a guitar hero, he's more than this! He's a pioneer. He and some others from the sixties like Hendrix, Page, Beck, Gilmour... opened the road for today's stars.
@steveinmidtown true u're right i meant the explosion of hendrix after woodstock...however this tune with this sound came one year before are you experienced
@chanimal40 Of course ! Himself and and some other guitarists were transforming old blues and rock standards in an other way of playing, using guitar and overdrive more and more in front of the scene, as only some good bluesmen such as BB King, T. Bone Walker, Freddie King, ao had tried to do up to then without that new savage way of playing guitar that had to become modern blues, pop rock music, hard rock and metal up to the current "guitar heros" we know today I personally don't like.
@jp6l6 You are full of it. Every section of Clapton's career can be followed right back to another artist. Early Clapton is lifted from Freddie King While almost the rest of his career is lifted from B.B. King. He is a good guitar player but not a pioneer and certainly not on the same level as Hendrix, Page, and Beck. And Gilmour? his sound was pioneering but was did not open the road for other artists. Check out cats like SRV, Albert Collins. Then you will see what I am talking about.
@jp6l6 I grew up on all those guys and worship Eric along with them, but it's the blues guys Clapton comes out of--Buddy Guy, Freddy, Albert, and B.B. King among others--who were the pioneers--Eric simply covered them through Marshall amplifiers and the Les Paul solid body guitar. Hendrix and Gilmour, however, are another story. Jeff Beck, too. Page falls somewhere in the middle
@dantean u speak some justice about clapton although i still think thats an overstatement. imo, those three other englishmen deserve not very much better. hendrix stands alone, by himself, in himself, and out of himself. naming those names alongside him is really too much of an understatement for hendrix. i wont go on to say its a disgrace out of a respect for the fans of the other englishmen, but not out of a respect for those guitarists.
@jp6l6 That's exactly what he is man - a pioneer. I think Eric opened the door for all the white blues guitar players. For a short time on this earth he was God. He really was. But on the eighth day God saw Eric and Eric was good. Then God created Jimi...
@jp6l6 why do people always sy this?....the people who opened the door were folks like freddie king, albert king or bb king.....just because white kids do it suddenly they are pioneers??? thats fxxxed up.....this song is almost note for note, listen to hendrix then listen to freddie king....tell me the difference....only that hendrix was a youngster....
@jp6l6 Wrong, the real pioneers are all those guys like Muddy Waters, Lightnin Hopkins, Big Joe Williams, Sonny Boy Williamson and all the others who taught your "Guitar Heroes" what to play and how to play it. These bluesmen opened the road to pretty much everyone.
@Oghmatic I strongly respect and love the bluesmen you're talking about ! Many others too !!! Memphis Slim, Albert King, T Bone Walker, BB King, Buddy Guy, Freddy King of course, Elmore James, Lightning Slim, Howlin Wolf, John Lee Hooker... To me they're makers. Tghough I'm a 48 white European guy. If you're a little clever you might wonder how I discovered all these blues talents coming more and less from cotton fields ? Because of all those I call pioneers who shipped blues worldwide...

@OghmaticCraftAnimus Yes. True. Clapton is a link in the chain. Peter Green is a link. John Mayall etc. They were pioneers in their own right however. To many of us they were the connection. I was listening to the white guys and Jimi when a friend loaned me a Muddy Waters album. That changed everything. After that I went to hear Freddie King, BB King, Albert Collins, picked up on R Johnson etc....Clapton was the key for me. He basically said go listen to these guys ... and I did.
