I'll never forget seeing him in Miami 1998. His newest album out was Pilgrim. He was asking for requests and everyone of course was screaming "cocaine" and there was a pause in the yelling, it was all quiet and I then yelled to him, "she's gone". And, he looked up into the nose bleed seats where I was..... and he smiled and sang the song for me. I loved it, made my day.

i see so many people commenting he is the best guitarist; but that is not the point. There are many people-machines that play technically better and more perplexed things. Its the soul. That's what most don't have. Eric is the combination of his expressive singing and sweet accompanying guitar. He redefined the blues. Took the bad old recordings and brought them back to life.

Ethan Bean Probably my first guitar hero too - the one I'd listen to and be like, "THAT is what I want to do", "THAT is the reason I'm going to sit my room plucking a guitar for endless hours, instead of play video games". And, what a reward it's been. When I needed an outlet, I had guitar to help me decompress. Clapton also led me to find JJ Cale, Big Bill Broonzy, and countless other artists I would then study.
