The trouble with blokes my age (72) is that when we were young we all wanted to be Clapton. The tragedy is that we still do.

I'm soooo glad EC went more to the southern blues/rock sound. I think this decision made him more "acceptable" to the greater masses. His album of late " Unplugged" is one of the best of EC's accomplishments.

Eric was infatuated and lustful for Patti..it wasn't true love...of course TRUE unconditional love is a rare thing in the world anyway....George cared about Patti as a person more but they were drifting apart for a number of reasons...but George definitely Patty's true love..

George Harrison has integrity for being so good to Eric even though Patty was stolen by him. Its kinda weird too that he'd write such descriptive songs about her and him after that. But man, Clapton has a goodhearted life. I realized the longer you stay here on earth, the more you were meant to learn before ascending on to the higher love energy of this universe.

Sir Eric Clapton was born with Perfect Pitch And has a working knowledge of Relative Pitch. , Therefore He Can Play Anything He hears and Anything He Imagines in his Thoughts . Genius.
@pawelpap95 жыл бұрын
I am not sure you understand the terms you use and capitalizing every word does not hell the clarity. In any case, you should realize that musicians consider perfect pitch a handicap and it has nothing to do with being a genius, musical or otherwise.

Also back in the mid 50s Fender didn't have the technology of clear hardeners that they later perfected and the clear coating would wear off the maple fingerboards very easy! When Leo Fender saw country and western guitarist with his telecasters and Stratocasters on television with there worn maple fingerboards he pulled out all the stops to find better hardeners.Then in mid 1959 when Leo fender was still struggling with the clear hardener technology they made the big change something new for Fender in 59 the rosewood fingerboard!

Jeez how does the Roger Waters album / tour (Pros & Cons..) in '84 not get mentioned at all? Clapton covering all of Gilmour's guitar parts ffs!! Talk about a historic moment in time for the guitar playing community! Think about the significance of Clapton wearing a Pink Floyd tshirt for an album and tour. Now go pick up your mind that was just blown. Then go listen to Clapton doing the Money / C Numb / ABITW P2 / Have a Cigar etc solos. You're welcome!
