Less than 1 week after playing tears in heaven on my seagull acoustic for my beloved grandmother on her deathbed I got to see Eric perform it on stage in Boston. Needless to say, there were a lot of tears from me in both instances. Thank you Eric for the gift you’ve given the world!

I'm sorry, but what a soothing moment at a difficult time-for your grandmother and then later for yourself. I've lost a daughter to death when she was 13, but before that Conor died and I cried as if he were my own. One of the most tragic things to happen. Eric is a humble person. Life has humbled him and for the sadness of all that he's been through, he is really just a good guy.

Eric,you look much happier! You look better as well. You were most privileged to see this icon when I’d heard last no more shows. Sadly due to Eric’s inability to play anymore bc of advanced arthritis in the hands. Perhaps. You took a break from music. I love him being happy talking anything music his face lights up like Christmas Day, add on a new guitar.gifted. Kindly to him. Here’s a kind humble appreciative man, I notice stuff so I love your laugh….😅 Your the one of the best but still cas dressed axe players icon!

Eric refused to give Bobby Whitlock songwriting credits for 1/2 of "Bell Bottomed Blues" until Bobby read him the riot act. Clapton also refuses to admit that it was Rita Coolidge, not that psycho drummer who wrote the coda to Layla. She'd recorded it before she played it to him, and Bobby is on record stating the she wrote it. One should never give too much credence to an admitted wife rapist that Clapton has been.

Bobby Whitlock has witnessed that Clapton owes Rita Coolidge for the Coda to Layla and she's now having to sue him to get her due. Clapton's clueless as a human being, and Whitlock had to threaten to sue him to get him to admit that Whitlock had written half of "Bell Bottom Blues". These days Clapper just wants to take the world's best vaccines away from the populace. I don't wanna hear another f*cking word out of him about Coca*ne!!!!

What so many of you kids don't know is this, many relate to Eric Clapton as a 'Rock' musician....BUT.....when Eric was 15 years old, he fell in love with the BLUES, and hence he mastered Robert Johnson's tunes from back in 1934! The bottom line is even during Derrick and the Domino's and Cream, Eric's first love is the BLUES, and still is right to this moment! And what we have is one of the last living BEST Bluesmen alive today!

All I know is l dig 'em both mightily, and l'd sure love to see the two of them perform a few of those songs live again before time finishes taking it's toll, y'know what l mean? Get Trucks & Haynes and some of those folks to help 'em out, wouldn't that be a big blast!

I fortunately own an early 1968 D35, and it’s the one thing I’d run into a burning house for. My favourite thing about it aesthetically is the slightly rounded off headstock. If, for whatever reason I were able to place a custom order through Martin, the most important things I’d specify would be headstock shape and the neck carve from my 68, with the addition of a truss rod and herringbone trim

I saw Derek and the Dominoes on that first tour he talks about. After the Lyceum the first show they played on that UK tour was at The Roundhouse in Dagenham, in a hall behind the pub. It held about 300 people and the stage was tiny. My mate and me were standing near the stage and someone pushed past me, it was Eric, cigarette in his mouth, carrying his Brownie Stratocaster Guitar. The bands had to walk through the crowd from the dressing room to get to the stage. So Eric pushed me out of the way. The band was Eric, Carl Radle, Bobby Whitlock and Jim Gordon. We were hoping Duane Allman would turn up but he didn't. They played Tell the Truth, Bottle of Red Wine, Little Wing, Have You Ever Loved A Woman, Don't Know Why, Let It Rain, among others. Layla hadn't even been recorded at this time. I remember that compared to all the other bands I'd seen they were so quiet, Eric just had a small Fender amp. Eric says that there were hardly any people watching them on that tour but this placed was packed to the rafters. It was a great gig, although some people were expecting him to play Cream stuff and were disappointed. Just being up close to Eric, watching him play was magical. This was also the first time he was singing lead vocals. A great guitar player

That sound you got at both the 28 and the 45 is solid, man. Love hearing the stories from Derek and the Dominoes times. Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs is a stellar thing. I guess you, like me, will also send off some love to Duane when you remember that album. Signed, J.

It warms my heart to see Eric doing beautiful in life. He's enjoying those guitars here like any other man would. God, he has no idea how influential he has been in so many people's lives... I mean, he may imagine the magnitude of it but never know the whole of it. I didn't know that he played with two 100w amps with Cream and used the second only during solos! No wonder, people say they were *loud.* It's funny how he says that he longs to be remembered for that slight buzzy sound on acoustic that he makes, as if he hasn't done more than that. Also, after being a guitar player for about 65 years if he thinks that it's risky to deal with guitar action if you don't know what you're doing then imagine how vigilant we should be. He's the ideal indeed. Done so much and still behaves genuinely. Signs of the true greats. Thank you, Guitar Center and Eric Clapton!

Eric didn’t seem too thrilled with the first Martin lol. He looks great though, God Bless Eric a true legend ❤ 🎶

Too much bass response. The D45 sounds much more ballanced. But I' m a mahagony guy anyway. Use to play a Martin 000-18 and a D-18 GE.

Yeah the Audio Is poor though but I got the same Impression Having said that as they say, with a new guitar, even ones of this standard, the worse it will ever sound is the first time you play it ! I think even more so with the top quality woods , your paying somewhat also for the way they will age , though there are no set rules of course, theres always an "emporers clothes " element as blind tests so often show but then come back and listern to that 45 in 4 or 5 years and then you'll start to hear the real difference The are meant to be keepers at that kind of price

Tío guitar, lo vi el 2001 en el nacional, lo que más me impresionó era la potencia y afinación de su voz. Su sonido crudo en la guitarra es tremendo, el uso del tiempo en los solos, pero la voz de él, fue el comentario de muchos a la salida del concierto, realmente una leyenda. Slds desde Valpo

After watching this video and thinking to myself wow this is the Eric Clapton (guitar legend) fantastic musician who's been everywhere and has played with the best of the best on the biggest stages that ever existed for decades and world famous super wealthy etc...and yet what you see in this video is a humble gentleman. Truly amazing!
