Layla - Eric Clapton (acoustic cover)

TUTORIAL: / coreyheuvel
WEBSITE: coreyheuvel.com
Not many people can cover themselves, but Eric Clapton did just that when he re-imagined "Layla" on his Unplugged album in 1992. It's a beautiful song with so much soul and depth, I never tire of hearing, playing or teaching either version. This one is long overdue and I hope you enjoy!

This guy is one of the best acoustic guitarist i have ever seen on KZbin

[@cemtepe2295]

This guy fucking awesome but chek the acoustician

[@brianarsenault8882]

Tommy Emmanuel

[@MrLadner]

Agreed, Corey is amazing…. Totally unique and shouldn’t be compared with Tommy. There is enough room in this world that they can both hold their place as straight inspirational to us normal humans.

Or josh turner guitar…

[@michaelk1262]

When people tell me that I’m good at guitar I thank them, but then I compare myself to players like this to keep my ego well in check

[@KianJ.]

Real shit

[@willkoestner4159]

Just like Jimmy Page. Whenever people proposed that he was one of the greats, he hit em with "I need to practice". Respect

[@jsilvamaintenance]

Lol , Rubbish practice !

[@tonnyberben1770]

Better than the lack off being told how good you are Thats what keeps my ego in check 😛😛

[@kingPln89]

Ah man there’ll always be someone better than you at anything in life. Don’t compare yourself to others, just to your previous self :)

[@RobertAbbott]

Holy crap ... the ease at which he uses different phrasings and incorporates fills is mind blowing.

[@alexdossey]

Good lord, man. I randomly bumped into this video. You’re an assassin on the fretboard. Kudos to you. There’s guys like me that have played guitar for 30 years and either can’t remember a song I learned yesterday, or can’t play what I learned yesterday because of hand pain……and then there is this dude. Glad to know you’re out there my man

[@eliastellati9842]

The solo made me wanna throw my acoustic and never touch it again. Stunning

[@MrZyxxtl]

Every one has their own unique contribution to music. Your heart is the only one of it's kind. Play from it, and you will be special.

[@rangeofmotion5993]

Some of the BEST acoustic covers on KZbin... hands down. Love it!

[@neiladdison5614]

Came for the guitar.... stayed for the voice! Niiiice!

[@derozeo8649]

to be able to sing and play the song on guitar perfectly is something we dont see often. You are a true legend

[@scottmingos5310]

This is the best version I've heard besides the original. I can tell you have a natural feel for music and also put the work in to get as good as you are. Great stuff man.

[@RecoveredRidleyTruther]

See if you can spot this one

[@jonahcbarnett]

Yeah I most appreciate how all your covers honor the original but ABSOLUTELY have YOUR own feeling and flair and feel. Bravo my man

[@drillsgtlangdon]

Incredible rendition of one of the most iconic songs of our era. Well done sir!

[@lyall3000]

Seriously impressive vocal and acoustic combo. Flawless performance in a single take with no cutaways also. Superb.

[@TheFirstGroover]

from the first notes I was waiting the claps from the crowd. Unbelievable talent, passion and devotion. A true acoustic hero.

[@TheLifeTerm]

Corey,, you have an awesome gift. I'm just speechless, totally speechless. Your style is awesome, both guitar playing and singing. Simply amazing.

[@seandunn10]

Most are focused on guitar but the guy can sing just as well/tasteful. Thank you Cory for what you do and being real.

[@mirooogorooo5830]

Man! Not only this to me is one of the best songs of all time but this is one of the, if not THE best covers I've ever heard. Hat down, even though I don't have one on !!

[@jacobmiller3427]

I think u mean "hats off" or "hands down" lol but hands off and hat down works too I guess lol

[@smw397]

Oh man, I've been waiting forever to see you do this one. Stand-out job and yet another one I'll watch many many times in my vain attempts to emulate your chops.

[@a_mind_beside_itself7823]

Corey, I almost forgot how much I love watching your fingers dance on the fretboard 💜 I’m pretty stoked to find you again. Thank you for sharing your hard work, I can’t imagine the blood, sweat, tears and blisters you’ve experienced throughout the years of learning this craft to be able to do what you do.

[@jimson3785]

Bro every single one of your covers blows me away. I keep watching video after video thinking "ok, this one will probably be mid" but nope, you knock it out of the park every single time.

[@costelenache3342]

Wow...top level ! Vocal and quitar ! 10 points from Romania !

[@soyeux27]

So beautiful ! Your playing and soulful musical intensity is unique.

[@JuanCastillo-nx3oi]

Perhaps THE BEST cover on KZbin hands down 🙌

[@gerardferreira]

Blues as its best! Thank you for giving us such a performance!

[@TicketyBooDuo]

Great cover Corey. Great rhythm and those lead chops are brilliant as well as those vocals! Just brilliant 👌

[@connorbushert1810]

You play like butter my friend...so smooth! Great cover. You've encouraged me to attempt to learn even a fraction of this masterpiece 😂

[@a_mind_beside_itself7823]

I hear you! I’m gonna be attempting some of this today. RIP my fingers

[@danjimmie0704]

What more can be said?? An absolute master of his art!!! Cheers!!!

Your guitar ability is so incredible and inspiring. I can only imagine the countless hours that have gone into what you can now do on that instrument for the enjoyment of all of us watching. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@santiagocuervoortega2943]

I do not comment videos on KZbin very often, but man, I have to say you're pretty talented and is very pleasant to see this covers!💪🏾

[@tomasdiaz8872]

What a talent!!

[@flaiwnv3379]

Increible, amo hermno

[@strat0caster63]

Someone needs to sign Corey to a recording contract stat, and get him some top notch backup musicians, c’mon!

[@DHTCF]

I think the interest comes from hearing him perform unaccompanied. I often think the test of a piece or song is, how does it sound on unaccompanied piano or guitar?

[@lillerosin2915]

he is nothing special dude ... if he makes an original hit song that would be something else of course. but theres thousands upon thousands like him out there- this one does not deserve a rec contract anymore than the next one ...

[@ejguitar5452]

Incredible as always

[@toy200sx]

Beautiful. Great job Corey. I had to turn this one up.

[@Classy_L86]

Phenomenal! 😮

[@janubis5630]

this was insanely good!! i get motivated 1000x by hearing you playing but at the same time i want to throw my guitar in the trashcan. keep these banger covers coming!

This is incredible, well done!

[@LogansYoutub]

Amazingly done

[@BlindHatchet]

Awesome!!

[@prathameshbhambure]

This is the best Layla cover I've ever seen, period! I'm a huge Clapton fan but this cover, in my opinion, is better than Clapton's any unplugged rendition of Layla. How can one be so fluent, savvy, amazing and heartful with guitar? Well, I think it's a one word answer ----- practice.

[@gowwar491]

Come on… I love all the versions of Clapton including the latest ones.. full of soul… nothing can top that including the vocals… the version with the blue Martin in particular.

[@prathameshbhambure]

@@gowwar491 Was I so inarticulate, mate? I said that this cover is *in my opinion* the best because of all the splendid work Corey has done here. Like I said, I'm a huge EC fan, and I apparently love all his covers. You don't have to have a say on everything.

[@gowwar491]

@@prathameshbhambure sorry if i offended you man, it was not my intention… it’s just that in my opinion that the best covers are the ones of the man himself. The voices doing the chorus are so good… the piano….and the voice of Clapton. But this cover is good, no doubt on that - especially the mixing of the solo while keeping the chords.

[@TimestampMaster]

Incredible!

[@marcelobrandt]

Amazing
