Damn man! That's just not fair! Finally and excellent close up view of Clapton's fingers and it's only a minute and a half! Nice stuff; too short. Thanks.
@Lizzardpeople when doing Robert Johnson songs you have to put your own slant on them ,who can sing and play like Robert Johnson,no one!! its about playing music at the end of the day,not trying to win who,s the best competition,if Eric has lived the soft life,well so has bb King, Buddy Guy,most of the black blues men of today they aint exactly poor,but if its suffering and pain well, Eric has had his share of that!!! Blues is about a good guy feeling bad, regardless of colour
@Lizzardpeople ,''soft life''in the 60's?opinion's are agreed,but far from easy,when was young boy,asked to play as backround guitarist in studios,with best ;that's hard work,becaming lead guitarist age 17; in yardbirds.he does not have to live in gutter,to be blues musician!.focus to his very long career,still with respect to his''idol''Robert Johnson.his white,who's got the blues,with attitude!-.for some reason,still looking for faults,which is bit sick-''slowhand'''s Theman,like it or not
The old blues guys were only trying to make a buck like any other musician. Clapton didn't invent the blues and yes he's a white man, but no one can deny he has been as important as anyone over the past 40 years in carrying on its legacy.
100yrs from now Clapton will be in the history books as one of the all-time great bluesmen, while those who think he is imitating will be forgotten as so much roadkill with pathetic wasted lives.
Eric Clapton has played on stage with the best of the best in blues....BB king,Albert Collins,Freddy King,Albert King,Buddy Guy, and the list goes on a mile! How dare anyone one says he imitates the blues! Who ever says that cannot possible be a player! lets hear you play something Lol!
@vibroking58 well said,its not the fact that clapton wants to play with all these blues men(he does)but they all want to play with him. they all rate him as one of the best,he did in the sixties when learning his trade imitate his idols,which helped him develop his own way, but so did all the all the old blues men of the 20,s and 30,s
How about "Presence Of The Lord", "Let It Rain", "My Father's Eyes", "Layla" (both versions), "Signe", "Bell Bottom Blues", "Reptile", "Wonderful Tonight", "Circus Left Town", "Had To Cry Today", and on, and on, and on, and hopefully on for many, MANY more!
playin´music is the most sensitive way of art,you know? when somebody imitate Picasso or Vinci?? here comes a sue.this is not blues.this is a musician who is master of a guitar but blues is somethin else.and if life is nothing but a copying,without any respect for those who wrote music,so im totally pissed at life?i love music i live for the music but i dont like the fanatic masses.ever heard of slow down linda?,btw tears in heaven is based on folk song like"cats in the cradle"peace!
@mebloke69 actually tears in heaven is for his son that died fatally years back. eric wrote it for him. his son was only an infant and fell out of a window
@mebloke69 *HAHAHAHHAH* i literally just laughed for 5 minutes.... YOU, sir, are an IDIOT! It's already been said before me.... no sense in repeating and wasting time... not to mention how retarded you must feel now...
Fuck you dickhead.....Where are YOUR blues songs? Maybe EC believes that he can't write a blues song on par with his heroes, hell, I don't know. However, EC is AUTHENTIC. He KNOWS and has BEEN through THE BLUES, so shut the fuck up!
@mebloke69 How about "Presence Of The Lord", "Let It Rain", "My Father's Eyes", "Layla" (both versions), "Signe", "Bell Bottom Blues", "Reptile", "Wonderful Tonight", "Circus Left Town", "Had To Cry Today", and on, and on, and on, and hopefully on for many, MANY more! ...small "g" please.
Go suck a lemon Mr pompous, a drunken rant on claptom is more passionate than any caviar cradling twats 'educational' judgement. And plus chat rooms are for lonesome pernikity internet addictics I dont know you but judging by your tone you could fit that catagory. God belss clapton and his beautiful music - are you happy now
dunno why so many bad vibes an handbag throwin on here, but nice harmless bit of clapton never did anyone any harm.
yeah it requires little technical skill, but he oozes soul an feeling, an does it better than almost anyone. jus sounds so much better than all that stupid crazy-fast tapping an sweeping bollocks.
Why the hate guys! Let us all relax and listen to some good music. and btw to come back to this page at least 4 times, you must be a bigger fan than me. get over it you don't like him so what, others do. He's a celebrity for a reason.
to be fair mate, he could be a total beginner. if i was just starting out, i wouldn't want to be referred to as "pathetic", but if he's bn playin a few years, fair play to you
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
thats pathetic that you can't even pick it up by watching him and you have to rely on tabs. it shows that there is no such thing as a real musician anymore..
i'll be generous, if i walked into a bar and heard this i'd be distracted by any half decent looking person of either sex. but as e.b. white taught us, a large media spider web hung above an average pig can do wonders! celebrity culture at work. here's the trough, my friends.
No I say "clearly" with a full on genuine English accent, cunt. I would appreciate a video of yourself demonstrating a superior ability. However, I imagine you are dogged by technical problems, your webcam is broken and all the other dross people try to throw at me when they are cornered. Unlucky mate, you just got owned.
I'd lick his guitar clean ANYDAY, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME
