Eric Clapton: Groaning The Blues

[saucesacla]

Those 178 dumbs who clicked on dislike button are obviously deaf and don't know anything about music. This is PURE GOLD, Clapton is so versatile in his solos that he can transform old tunes into timeless gems. This is what music is. Bieber and other commercially fabricated junk can't beat that !

[SissaPitstop]

I really like this Willie Dixon's song... especially this Eric Clapton's version. Really great!

[CharlesDavidPollock]

if you like the blues check out my channel to hear the influences of clapton

[stein7541]

[bignoze123]

I still beleive in god....

ERIC

[rockchic68]

Is it hot in here?



[TheFuriousShovel]

Looks like somebody went to the crossroads at midnight :)

If anyone knows what that means

[johnjmacc6977]

I wonder what Lucille would sound like in Eric claptons hands... That would kick major ass

[Oldspirit189]

@johnjmacc6977 no no whteman can play lucille only real people

[londonboy888]

178 idiots need to stup litening to bullshit an appriciate music

[bflatblueswoman]

love them blues! He's so great!!

[Shomsingh]

im pretty sure thats what God sounds like..just like that guitar!

[RedsoxFan20042007]

Gotta love how "normal" Clapton is, what other rock god, dresses in jeans and a t-shirt.

[rodneythemodney]

He's playing without a pick, just like Otis :D

"Flesh to string has a more vibrant tone" - EC

[Julianlachmuth123]

DAS IST MUSIK!!!!

[Stonesoldierboy]

Clapton is always wonderfull!

[OtherRider]

Music is for all of us - whether heavenly-bound or a lowly hell-hound - whether full of love or seething with hate - we'll all be judged. Hope it's not too late for any of us.

[TheCauze0fWetPantiez]

Clapton killed his kid Conner by tossing him out a window then hasd the fucking nerve to make money off his death with that song Tears In Heaven.

It was as if he was mocking the whole world after getting away with that death while blasted on cocaine.

I hated Clapton even before he snuffed Conner.I detested him back when he dated Rod Stewart and they played together in The Band with Willy Robertson.

Clapton sucks nigga ball bag is all I can say that fuckin prick!

RIP CONNER

[Johnndeerjordan]

@TheCauze0fWetPantiez This is a fucking disgusting comment and you should rot in hell for even thinking something like that.

[OtherRider]

Eric breaks on through to the other side - where the heart and the blues are one. 

[RandomSpevv]

@OtherRider Right. He also breaks through into the gates of hell for pushing his son out that window. Drugs are bad, people.

[Johnndeerjordan]

@RandomSpevv you fucking spoiling this amazing song with your bullshit, fucking grow up.

[swifthoopz24]

@RandomSpevv Actually you are wrong buddy. Clapton wasn't even in the country when that happened. He was back in England at the time and he recieved the news the next day. Do your homework before you accuse Clap of something like that!

[FreddyMercry]

Anyone else get an annoying sound at 0:55?

[MrPolynikes2000]

177 no-voters are what they call in the scientific world "statistically insignificant."

[shuababy28]

his solo was so epic it blew out my speakers!

[kgugalov]

wow this video is around since the time phones had ringtones :)

[jman99110]

this is what he played to win over George Harrisons ex wife

[theneodesigners]

Youtube has the snow symbol ∗ but here there is 40℃ (105 ℉) :-\

[JerichoDitch2]

hey this guy is pretty good... I bet if he wanted to he could do this for a living

[polinesia67]

Oggi è più grande chitarrista al mondo.Insieme a Hendrix il piu grande in assoluto.

[bohemian4all]

Clapton can kill the blues on a Strat or Stradivarius, doesn't matter, the man bleeds the blues.

[ModernMusicSucks69]

someone tried to tell me you couldnt play the blues on a strat.... showed him this he shut the hell up

[MrExpatriateKiwi]

Yeh Clapton is god

[budungis]

Bravo

[arias567]

Eric Clapton, B.B king, Muddy Waters, Ray Charles, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Lang...Blues forever not this bs today they call music, here is where its at and will always be

[fryerel]

goosebumpstime:)

[calpoel]

i like it

[BucksOwin]

Clapton will ALWAYS be "God" ;-) 

[fishininjun]

Good god... could this be argued as one of the BEST blues solos in history! I always get the shivers and laugh and cry on how good this is!

[tanger335]

Whatever became of this documentary? This is some of his best playing ever.

[VivienRickilx236]

mmh i am rich now

[TheMIlguitar]

clapton god? not he is men, porem tem um dom divino, é maravilhoso, mas não se compara a Deus nem aqui nem na china.. GOD IS GOD.

[rickeygottheblues]

@TheMIlguitar if God plays the guitar Eric isnt close

[wickyzerMan3]

First time I've ever heard this song :p and the last time I will need to click the repeat button :)

[boghy75]

[gotemneedem]

[Saxmann97]

175 people have no taste in music or culture

[raed666n]

I just dont LIKE....Really Yawning....Go Listen 2 Some Metal

[MrOrion92]

@raed666n You will grow up and laugh at your comment sooner than you think. At least I hope you will, for your own sake.

[Ray63301]

@MrOrion92 then again maybe he is a justin bieber fan

[MrOrion92]

@Ray63301 I hope, for his own sake, that he is not :)

[bluesman769]

wonderful!!!

[IfureadthisURdum]

Looks like Will Farrell

[aabbcc5631]

I love how clapton just looks like a ordinary guy

[jonb32oz]

smooooth like a warm knife to butter

[boyoyify]

HMMM ..hmmm this is good shit!

[aCapNuneBbon]

Clapton in 240p sounds better than Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber in 1080p.

[epifender1]

@aCapNuneBbon Clapton sounds better on mute. Personally I have to have this loud :)

[LynchMobster47]

@aCapNuneBbon True. But then again, Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber in 240p also sounds better than Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber in 1080p.

[badakonk]

@aCapNuneBbon Lol i don't think what Lady Gag and Justa Beaver was doing someting called music

[nomercudiablo]

@aCapNuneBbon Clapton is the only one who plays the guitar better than Chuck Norris!

[evilmonkey609]

I'm not a huge Clapton fan, but who can resist good blues.

[micire]

doesn't get a whole lot better than this. i'm an E.C. nut though lol

[42Redbear]

Fantastic! It doesn't get any better than this!

[MrHighlife99]

The master at his best!

[MrDeamon1]

What does Clapton use traditionally as a head and cab, I saw a vox in one video, sounded like a greenback, not sure tho

[DazedConfused1969]

this is not too hard to play its the blues scales mostly, just alot of practise, and clapton been for over 50 years and plays with a insane amount of energy none of us know unless we have that feeling on stage with that skill

[Haparelli]

Just magnificent! Clapton's style has so many different faces, yet all of them are distinctively Clapton.

[TheHotnessdj]

Face close-ups during the SOLO? Ouch!

[milkboy1324321]

gotta have * :D

[milkboy1324321]

you got to have a good facial expression to play good music :D

[SteezyFlipZ]

hahahahaha i like that i hope that guitar was 18 omg thats too funny lol yeah no shit i hope that guitar was just willing for what he did to it cause i mean damnnn

[plasmoidi]

Oh this sounds so good

[StPeteG8r]

WOW.. Clapton gives a new meaning to giving 100% !!!!!

[scoolcrazy]

this is so epic

[5MaggieC]

No one else can play a guitar like this... sorry Hendrix, sorry Gallagher, but no. He is amazing.

[mechenguitarist]

@5MaggieC u shouldnt dare to speak like that :DD ahahahahahahaha

[gollumclawtooth]

No one on this planet can play that good after coke ,alcohol,the guys a fucking alien

[vozza14]

if i had that kind of skill i would sit in the corner and play me my blues every hour of everyday

[retrobananaguy]

CLAPTON IS GOD!

[ltjosh10]

@retrobananaguy I created a religion of him on facebook "Claptanity" check it out

[shw500]

GOD

[CallMeMister99]

Holy c0w! The Clapton-haters are gonna loathe this, because they won't be able to find any fault with it. Honestly, how can anyone pick holes in this guy, or his music, out of anything other than simple jealousy? I've always loved Erics' rich voice - I think he could have fronted any rock&blues band, solely as a vocalist. The fact that he plays guitar as he does...

[chrisrt88]

I'm pretty sure i just lost my virginity again.

[anddrewsgornim76]

well i need a man

[zenith2070]

thank god for youtube so i can experience these types of things gotta love that poor mans concerte option lol

[zenith2070]

damn he was rapin that thang lol

[kevinthenerd]

This is the kind of shit you can just LISTEN to... without using it as background music while doing something else.

[gollumclawtooth]

HE WAS ONE OF ENGLANDS BEST AMATEUR CYCLISTS,ERIC LOVES BIKES,THANK GOD HE CHOSE RIHGT/.GOD HELP ANY GUITAR THAT SEES HIM COMMMING,TURE GENIOUS/IF HE COULD PAINT HE WOULD HAVE DONE THE CISTINE CHAPEL,

[gollumclawtooth]

IF angels had fingers,the greatest white bluesman in the history of all music,undisputed.wonder where he is at this moment in time

[kevinthenerd]

@gollumclawtooth Slight correction: greatest FAMOUS white bluesman in history. He's extremely good, but there are lesser-known artists who are also extremely good. When you get that high on the list, little details like "better than so-and-so" are irrelevant. I suggest a vacation to New Orleans to prove it to yourself.

[zenith2070]

@kevinthenerd tell em somethin now

[Odin029]

Damn! If I ever hear one more bum say Clapton can't play blues I think I might have to smack them. This was freakin smokin!

[lamiamano]

@Odin029 no one can deny that EC knows the blues on guitar inside out and plays wonderful acoustic and electric blues. He's an ambassador of the blues and for this we have to thank him because everytime he picks up a blues, it becomes a standard the way he does it.

He's one of the last white musicians alive that knows the blues. he's old school and he stands a mountain over any of those fancy fake guitarist od today !

[oabdulhadi]

ERIC IS A GOD!!!!

[dixiedragon54]

LOLOLOL I'll bet Navy guys enjoyed the "seamen" pouring out of my ears comment - but there is absolutely no question that this is one smokin hot dude on a flamin' hot guitar

[SDsailor7]

@dixiedragon54 Yeah tell that to the Navy "seamen" that disposed of osama binladen..and see what happens to your ears.

[MrFenner69]

@SDsailor7 i believe jullex92 meant "seman" and not seaman as in having an eargasm

[SDsailor7]

@MrFenner69 Ahh i see..thanks for the clarification.

peace

[jullex92]

So pure stuff this is. No unnecessary lighting or smoke effects; just pure feeling pouring out of a man through his instrument and voice. So good.

Seamen pouring out of both my ears, yes indeed.

[segi450]

2:43 - 5:16 :O) o.O

[variaxguitar]

Word

[gazzaboy2531977]

Always sounds better somewhat with a dirtier sound does Clapton?

[thereisnolightatthe]

If you don't like this, you don't have a fu#%ing idea of what music really is!!!!!!

[MrMisharos]

@thereisnolightatthe or we just have a different taste of music

[supertlsmith]

One of his greatest blues solos. Amazing!!!!

[TheFeenix10]

what in the FUCK just happened?

[vvj0308]

Seems like there are 173 Bieber fans here...

[csjackson97]

Come back when the other testicle drops! SRV makes you look like an amatuer!!

[larryroberttheil]

Awesome.



[lotorobly]

that girl treated him really bad indeed u_u

[bushwasher116]

What pickups please?????

[BenCoteMusic]

@bushwasher116 he uses fender vintage noiseless single coils

[gagasensei]

@bushwasher116 Now he uses Fender Noiseless, but back then he used Lace Sensor gold pickups. I think that what makes his tone so heavy is 25db boost in his Strat rather then pickups. :)

[feezy243]

If guitar was porn then Eric Clapton is Peter North

[arko454]

the god of blues after bb king

[messybluesboy371]

Clapton Is God

[Claptonisgod1989]

@messybluesboy371 I agree xD

[Jean2449]

Vraiment excellent! Eric était en super forme!

[gollumclawtooth]

1972 bell vue manchester england ,eric and his band ,van morrison was his support act, eric shook my hand after the concert and also bought me a coffee.Atrue individual, who came through cocaine and alcohol adddiction,and yet still manages to play a strat like it was a present from something beyond our universe.

[tyzer32]

king.

[gollumclawtooth]

admmited looks like hes had a shit load of booze, but if i could play like that pissed,then god help god himself.

[dunn2748]

@gollumclawtooth

he was sober for years when this video was shot

[PAULD1887]

he looks like a northern alcoholic here lol

[Soelbro]

From the Cradle is probably easiest one of the best albums Clapton has made..... Its definitely my favourite!! When Clapton hits the solo on this track its like, Im left breathless and only two words can come out!!! : "Holy Shit!!!"

[donottawaguitar]

master

[gollumclawtooth]

The greatest white bluesman in the history of music, truly a blues and rock god

[Skelidude]

Worst Blues player ever...and a Nazi to boot..

[GuitarMediaCenter]

i get a good vibe from rock and i get a better vibe from this (~￣▽￣)~

[GuitarMediaCenter]

i get a good vibe from rock then i get a better fire from this :D

[MrTenitis]

@yorkshiretractors Who Gives a shit!!

[pepehorhae]

music like this is the best example in comparison of sex.

in sex its called orgasm where its the pussy and the dick and there we produce orgasm

in music its called the heart is fucking the ears ergo there is eargasm

this song is best exampled by that ;)

[txlastrebel]

awful

[sublimenal23]

I feel like someone told clapton he couldn't play blues so he played this show to prove them wrong.

[IarinhaCJBM]

just listen to this solo... Clapton is a god with a guitar in his hands

[TheCanadaspike]

When i realize i was doing him with a broom guitar

[MrSh1z]

that's pretty much as good as it gets...

[Skelidude]

Of the three guitarists in the Yardbirds,Clapton grew the least as a musician..Page's composition skills place him right up there..Beck is still pushing the boundaries with every album he makes, a true Guitar genius.Clapton is every Grandad's 'Greatest Guitarist in the World' and he's done nothing for thirty years but live on the past..Green, Gallagher, Alvin Lee all knocked him into a cocked hat...

[TheHawksTalon]

@Skelidude beck and page cant touch claptons success clapton is still on top

[Ramblinrider011]

@Skelidude You must be on meth!! Or perhaps you are just deaf!

[laurencej81]

ohhhhhh that tone



[SCOPOtuaMADRE]

most overrated guitarman in the world

[shacharkl]

@SCOPOtuaMADRE Who the hell are you?

[SCOPOtuaMADRE]

@shacharkl be quiet, cocksucker

[fretman40]

@SCOPOtuaMADRE Opinions are like assholes,and you are one.Because of this man thousands of young kids picked up the guitar.Just ask Edward Van Halen.

[Skelidude]

same old licks....

[fretman40]

@Skelidude The same can be said of any guitarist.B.B.King,Albert King,Buddy Guy.Joe Bonamassa,Jimmy Page,Santana,Thats what makes them there own is their repertoire of licks that they use .you will NEVER find a guitarist that doesn't repeat him or her self in their phrasing

[billyjt4]

From the cradle is by far ECs best blues album and one of my favorite albums of all time

[JohanMN93]

Can somebody tell me where this was played at?

Album title maybe?

[juliothesigner]

@JohanMN93 From the Cradle, the best EC album, IMHO.

[T2daO2daM]

i swear 168 people that watched this are deaf!

[Ray63301]

@T2daO2daM They are drowning in" The River of Tears"

[deegrin1]

mmmmmm! Clapton and his guitar.

[JerichoDitch2]

Hey, this guy's good .... I bet if he wanted to he could make a living doing this.

[bb1111116]

EC was really feeling it!

[floydnelson123]

It seems like he plays it with such ease. Great singer too.

[billyjt4]

@floydnelson123 thats why they call him "Slow hand"!!

[bradstivers]

God takes guitar lessons from Eric Clapton!

[sophiamarie0311]

@bradstivers AMEN ... to yer comment 'bout Eric Clapton.

[BenGannonGuitar]

I hope that guitar was 18
