@mrktwn I agree, I can't understand how he's not as popular (big industry definition) as John Mayer. His voice and guitar-playing are both so soulful and unique. He's one of the greats.
DBFAN great to see someone recognized the beyond beauty of this solo. It's from another Universe!! I have never liked Clapton's guitar, but I see now that he was just bored out his mind playing night after night. Clapton's solo is just as great as i think Doyle has inspired him to really play.
Granted Bram's a great guitarist. But figure this out for me, he's playing a lefty, the cutaway is proper and all, then he strings it upside down and puts the hi-E on the top! I guess since he pulls instead of pushing to bend it doesn't matter, but WHY so backwards, I just dono!
Probably because he learned it that way at home when he was little. After all his dad's guitars where all righty guitars that he probably just flipped over. That's an educated guess at least......or he just wants to show off a little. Nothing wrong with that ^^
besides the story that he just learned a righty guitar because everyone else had it (but he was lefty)
The pull and push (bending) is not really different. A guitarist does both with a right side up or upside down guitar. it's more of a habit/econmic playing syle, not really tone centered which can be attributed to playing an upside down guitar (although a down stroke is an up stroke when the guitar is upside down).
my dad does. he is lefthanded and that is the only reason some people play that way. my father when started playing (almost 40 years ago) had no choice, because it was too expensive for him to buy his own guitar that time, and all he could have done was to turn guitar 180 and play;)
This is one of my favorite pieces of music of all time. in my opinion. doyle is much better then clapton at this festival. learn thats its not about speed, its about making that guitar sing the notes you want it to sing for you and doyle does that amazingly. a perfect 10.
@souldistortion25 It's not a competition either, when will punters realise that everyone has a good and bad sets and nights. If you want competition go to a football game.
Doyle always get's the poor solos when he is with Clapton, and do you all know why? Because Clapton is the main star and first guitarist, and Doyle is second guitarist, and that's why Doyle dont get the hard parts and amazing soloes like Clapton plays, forexample in Crossroads Festival...
I advise you to look on Doyle's In The Flesh Tour with Roger Waters, then you'll see the real Doyle!
theres no way hes better than clapton but doyle is a great talent and songwritinr in his own right. kudos to him for this one, he was great at crossroads.
great solo, but nobody can say that he is better than Clapton. Thats just stupid to say that. Clapton has been doin this for YEARS and hes a world icon. Doyle is great, but thats a dumb comment to say hes on another level than Clapton....learn your music
Doyle's a bit sloppy, anyone else notice? I saw him play w/clapton twice, and the second time it was next to Derek Trucks and Clapton, and they made him sound like a fool. His solos are very anti-climactic
curtis quote is pusherman in a song about cocaine!!! genius!!!!!! :-)

Actually, he used to practice by looking in the mirror ...and learned it that way because he thought it looked cooler in the mirror.....
ROTFLMAO. I'm serious.

This solo was actually cut from the original version in concert. The original is kicking around in bootleg form somewhere.
Good solo none the less.
bluesForD 4 years ago
No it wasn't cut. I have the Crossroads DVD. It's on there.
CinAcid100 3 years ago
This is the same as the crossroads DVD - if you find the bootleg his solo was actually longer and they cut a large piece out for the DVD.
