Without Hendrix there would be no Clapton?!  Guess your knowledge of rock history only goes as far back as 1967. Someone should give you a copy of "Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton". When Hendrix went to London, he asked to meet Clapton. Not saying one is better than the other, just setting the record straight.

Clapton thinking at 1:04 : " Good job boy... "

@SadieMyLady15 Couldn't have said it better. :)

Everytime I see John Mayer I think "Young Elvis Presley."

[SadieMyLady15]

John Mayer=Really Amazing.

Eric Clapton=Double Amazing.

they both can play with soul and technique and passion. I am not saying one player is better than the other, but where did John Mayer get his playing from? CLAPTON! There are a bunch of people bashing Mr. Clapton for his playing but I think we need to remember where Mr. Mayer came from. Clapton can play the crap out of that guitar but he knew it was not the right time for him to take the light. He's giving other musicians the chance tha

Guys, Clapton CREATED this version so stop disrespecting him and saying he got owned. And to clear the gossip, Robert Johnson made the original.

Mayer plays some blistering licks with both precision and grit - when Clapton tries the same he fails - and his muddy sound alone makes me want to clear my troat. The "Clapton Is God" banner should have been lowered some 30 years ago. If You look a little closer at Clapton I think You can see that insight is written all over his face. Mind You - his groundbreaking playing on the Bluesbreakers album is his best ever, so my hat off for that. But this suicide duel with Mayer is almost sad to watch.

Wasn't a fan of Mayer's vocals on this. Of course, most of the time I'm not anyways. Regardless, this is a cool collab and both these guys are of course killin' players.
