When I started lessons with a teacher to learn to play the organ he would say to me "When you play you don't just play how the music is written in the book,you have to add feeling to it". "When you can bring people to tears i will know ive taught you enough". 45 years later and im proud to say ive achieved everything my teacher said i could do .

I prefer this Era of Clapton over his Cream era. His aggression is more articulated here. The chops are tighter, and the tone is to die for. This style of his inspired plenty of blues-rock artists.

[@J5L5M6]

Agreed. I purchased my first guitar because of Rage Against The Machine in '99. I learned how to play the thing listening to Clapton.

[@Vickvineager]

There’s not a single person who captivated the 80’s like Slowhand did. One cannot think of the big 80’s without thinking Clapton. I love how he grew with & through the decades. From lay down sally in the 70’s to forever man in the 80’s to tears in heaven in the 90’s. There are way too many to list from each decade, but you get the point.

[@aussiemouth747]

You are young. Start with the 60s.

Whenever the electric guitar was created, I wonder if the inventor ever thought that Eric Clapton would be the one that perfected it. Clapton is the true "master" blues/rock guitarist!

Eric has perfected it. My opinion. He's one of my all-time favs. 🎤🎸🎵🎶🎵❤️

[@Onehappyworlds]

@Jeff C Did they have commercial hits, awards & have they been inducted into Rock Hall 3 times. This is what I meant by Eric perfecting it. He helped bring guitar playing especially blues to the masses. Those ones you mentioned didn't do any of this. They put out stuff that isn't commercial doesn't sell or generate public interest.

[@arautus]

@Jeff C It's not just how great one plays the guitar, in Clapton's case, it was his style that made him one of the greatest of all. The musicians you mention are very unique and skillful, but I'd rather listen to Eric play guitar.
