Hey there, watch this brilliant acoustic cover of Eric Clapton’s- Layla, with an awesome bass line. youtube.com/watch?v=Fcd5jEUvLZs. Thanks leave a comment.
@henrithefreak47 Yup, and depending on your age, it's a lot quicker or sooner than you want or expect! (May I lump myself/ourselves in the same boat).
@calkeithgray Thx, but doesn't really help, since RAH is Eric's "Homeplayground" - pretty much yearly (or even more often) visited - and I'm looking for a Year/Location info about this specifc recording.
@naturopatia There should be more levels between Guitar God and Mark Knopfler. I'm around Justin Bieber/Beginner. Beginner is when I'm having a good day.
@Sparkzoid17 that model is a late 40's Martin D-28, but he has several signiature models by Martin as well, listen to that aged rosewood and spruce sound!!!
the two legends playing havoc on the stage ! clapton on the acquostic and singing this faboulous song accompanied by mark knop on the les paul . . . its just amazing ! they both have made history !
Les MEILLEURS...que dire de plus. Quel que soit le morceau, c'est toujours la même magie. J'aimerai bien savoir ce que donnerai le trio: Clapton, Knopfler, Santana...Qui sait, on peut toujours rêver...........
That , my dear boys and girls, is real music performed by real artists who master their real instruments to perfection! Not some cheap designed product from slick producers made in the studio for selling to the ignorant young people of this world. People will still be listening to Mark Knopfler and Eric Clapton long after they are gone. Will you be listening in 20 year to the present crap?
@MrGabba95 This isn't a debate out who is better (that's always subject to opinion). This is just a great partnership by two people that can play better than just about all of us. Just applaud the music. Neither of these two will gain any ego or prize by your comment. Just still back drink a beer and enjoy the music.
@Damzelbum sono d' accordo con te ma ti ricordo che sei stato tu a d elevare clapton sopra tutti.... e comunque ripeto clapton è un grande e su questo non si discute...
@Damzelbum sono d' accordo con te ma ti ricordo che sei stato tu a d elevare clapton sopra tutti.... e comunque ripeto clapton è un grande e su questo non si discute
I dont think so, becasue claptons is playing rythm guitar in this video and this on an acousitc guitar, so he cant play such solos, but he is very well supporting Knopfler in his playing.
@LeGullasch I'm awared of that, my opinion is not just based on this video, clapton plays blues, and his blues ain't got the soul like albert kings,jimi hendrix, stevie ray vaughans blues. Thats just a fact. :)
at first what LeGullasch wrote is right, secondly you normaly see clapton sing or ripping of a great solo but you wont see him do that at the same time. it's kinda hard to improvsie so you stay focused on that and don't sing along. as a guitarplayer i would say that even the rhytm part isn't that simple and mr clapton played it wonderful.
was listening to this with my 13 year old brother .. in the middle of knopflers solo we said: ok lets go watch two and a half men now! guess whos punished for punching his brother in the face?
