Dubbed 'God' by some, just plain good by others, Eric Clapton's electric blues pedigree is beyond doubt.

Here, Guitar Techniques Editor Neville Martin shows you how to set up your gear to get those classic Clapton guitar sounds, including the legendary Bluesbreakers period and the 'woman tone'.

  • w-what? clapton used an sg on crossroads.

  • "When Eric used the bridge pickup he usually backed the tone off, like this", then they zoom in on the tone knob, SMH!!!!

  • @jonw82 either you're a subtle troll or just brainless.

  • Is this one an R0 or R9? It look's R9, but it's got reflector knobs.

  • ...i own a live-dvd with cream: no words, f***n' best solo EC ever played (=> 335) ! LES (but this a good video-demo !)

  • @bluestingray67 i think his best is layla. album of course not song. why does...

  • yeap this is original Clapton tone..................now is all Fender man.

  • @besamemucho5

    That's simply fanboy talk. These days there are plenty of guitarists who can do what he does and do it better. In all honesty though I think he is at a higher level than he was during the eighties and nineties.

  • @Carthsgtr he never "lost what he had" he still has it and still as good....whoever wrote "clapton is god" on the walls of the subway, way back in the sixties, is making more sense now that we can look at or better yet listen to all the music he created or was involved with...

  • @Echioderm

    I wouldn't say after he changed to strats, but after Derek and the Dominos I simply can't see an answer other than that drugs messed him up to why he lost what he had.
