Let It Rain - Eric Clapton (Cover)

[@mblimmina]

Starting at about 3:57, I think that is the greatest lick Clapton ever laid down in the studio. It's worked out perfectly and very clean and powerful.

[@ColinStachowski]

Thank you for your comment. Yes, that solo is a mine of all great licks.

[@lancevoorhees7318]

That was great, wished I could get it slower and on paper, you know I’m way older than you! Eric is so good and I love this video, wow!

[@NCWharfRat]

Outstanding! Clapton's best solo on record. Just the right amount without a wasted note. Builds and builds to an awesome crescendo and then fades like a sunset. Perfect.

[@ColinStachowski]

Nicely put!

[@ericsandman4508]

great job, probably one of EC's finest solos.

[@ColinStachowski]

...and quite difficult one. Thanks!

[@LoriannSmithsanpell]

Ever since I discovered your outstanding cover of Layla, I have had the pleasure of enjoying several more of your videos. I wish I could thank your guitar for allowing me to actually see the music I love, and not just hear it. Seeing it is wonderfully mesmerizing.

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks a lot! I'm happy that you find it interesting!

[@rozlee2175]

Hey man keep up the good sound of that guitar Clapton would be proud. And you pick a great sounded guitar I have the same one but white and its my buddy I play bass and guitar for over 28 years I always like the sound of the Strat nice job. again thanks for sharing☮

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks Roz!

Fantastically beautiful and Perfect I'm 64 years young been practicing and studying and playing since I was in Junior High school maybe before my first Stratocaster my parents bought me when I was in Junior High But any way You did Extremely Well Executed Clapton is just one of my favorite Guitarists I have a Fender Blues Junior IV Tweed amp with a Ibanez Sonic Distortion Mod and a Fender Mexican Stratocaster with Fender Hot Noiseless pickups Yes I love your Sound and Tone Exceptional Performance Thanks I always love to learn something new each time I pick up my Fender Mexican Stratocaster Once again I think you have a Wonderful time playing music Wishing you all the best

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks!

[@kkshady]

best cover of this one yet. you are really talented

[@ColinStachowski]

+Kanwalmeet Singh Thank you very much!

[@iconoclastKM]

Wow..! Note for note..! On one of my top 5, of so many, great, great EC solos and songs. Terrific stuff..!

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks!

[@claudefazio]

I think yours might be the best cover I have seen so far on the Internet (and I have seen quite a few since this if my all-time favorite solo). You bend the strings with a lot of accuracy and you get a great tone from your fender Strat. Well done!

[@ColinStachowski]

+Claude Fazio Thank you so much Claude for these kind words. I try to do my best to make them as 'nice to watch' as possible. I hope you like my other covers as well. Again - thanks! Without you and your comments I will be nowhere!

[@liorashermusic]

Great playing, great sound - Love it!

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks man!

[@charlesreaddy6585]

Great job! Just shows you the genius of Clapton.

[@nickk8416]

Really good Colin! Loved it. Great song, great playing.

[@colinbatephotography.8440]

Love it ...sounds just like Eric.

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks!

[@garytours3588]

I agree this is the most accurate demonstration. Bravo dude !

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks!

[@BlueWaveCountry]

Absolutely incredible (as always)!

[@ColinStachowski]

Thank you!

[@jesthefacts2276]

This is about the 100th time I've watched this video. I heard Stephen Stills played the first solo and it sounds like it. The second solo is something at a level only Eric Clapton could play. Thanks.

[@ColinStachowski]

Hey Miz! Thank you a lot, did not know that there are people who like it that much. I really appreciate that and hope you find it valuable.

[@rjmprod]

Really well done......! I was very impressed..

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks!

[@guislowhand]

Very nice. You are such a good guitar player! Congratulations, Guilherme Alves.

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks!

[@rodneysandel9791]

You played very well

[@peshewa0529]

Colin, A GREAT job on this song. One of my favorites. I played this before you were probably born. Don't take offense. I'm really glad to see that there are some younger guitar players that like the old rock and roll. I still play this and others from the sixties and seventies and I really enjoy playing. From an old timer Thank you for the lesson.

[@ColinStachowski]

Hah, thank you fir that comment! I really appreciate good words from more experienced people than me. I'm very glad that you enjoy my humble productions. Oh, yes and I was born in 1992.

[@Thatguy55595]

Great job man 👍🏻

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks!

[@frodo261]

Thanks Colin for responding so quickly! Looking forward to seeing more of your work and especially your cover of PBE. Definitely an inspiration for me to practice, practice, practice. Take care.

[@ColinStachowski]

Steve Deininger And your comments are inspiration for me to play and record more!

[@adityaroy7616]

What the hell? My God, you have the entire tone to the point.

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks a lot! I'm using Amplitube with Fender Champ amp simulation.

[@YV1AX88]

Great song and sound I still feel that his best sound ever was live in concert with Derek and the dominoes

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks! I agree!

[@kurt11110]

Great job! Congratulations

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks!

[@stkbkr1]

Hey my brother it's raining rock and roll and you like the rain maker!! I was very into the end part all the intricacies, looked difficult. I really enjoyed it and had to watch it more than once. Rock on!!!

[@ColinStachowski]

Thank you! You're dead right. Let it Rain has the most difficult solo on the album. I'm glad that you watched it more than once. I had to re-record all camera angles because I was sitting a little too much to the right and there was a part of my pillow on the bed that was not intended to be in the front shot. I'm very meticulous... maybe too much ;)

[@waxywillie]

Great job !!!

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks a lot!

[@BUKoliche]

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks!

[@BALARPANSA]

best version by a mile!

[@ColinStachowski]

Thank you for the good words!

[@stevedeininger8049]

Hi Colin amazing talent thanks for putting these on YT. Have you ever considered covering "Pretty Blue Eyes" from There's One In Every Crowd? Nobody appears to cover it but it's a pretty song sort of similar to Let It Grow in some ways. In either event thanks again for sharing your talent.

[@ColinStachowski]

Steve Deininger Thank you Steve, to be honest, Pretty Blue Eyes is second of my 'to do list' right now. I will post 'Better Make It Through Today' and then I will work on 'Pretty Blue Eyes'. It is a very nice song indeed, with a sweet acoustic solo at the end.

[@antonioberuff5033]

Nice one Colin!

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks Antonio!

[@thealey8790]

What can I say subscribed and a fan Do you have any tabs love all your stuff

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks a lot!

[@astrophotonics9470]

Good Job! old slow hand would be proud.

[@ColinStachowski]

+John Doe I hope! Thanks!

[@omeletpants]

I have always loved the guitar work on It Hurts Me Too. Give that a try

[@ColinStachowski]

omeletpants I'll give it a try someday. But not on Strat. Thank you!

[@FoolishPrankster]

Wow, that was Great (period) ô¿ô

[@Desaulnierspf]

Hi, nice job ! I would like to know if you use the regular fender pickups or if you did some modifications ? And while i ask, what about the guitar strings you use ?

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks! These are standard Texas Special pickups and I always use Ernie Ball 10-46.

[@mustangmikep51]

Do you play in a band..or just a solo artist? LOVE this song+you did it justice ...all the best..good vibes!

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks! Not really, I just play for fun.

[@donszabo7558]

Nice job Colin. That solo is not an easy one.

[@ColinStachowski]

One of the most difficult in Clapton's catalogue.

[@no_peaches_8085]

Beautiful cover man, was it clapton who played the first solo on the original track? that part was very beautiful

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks! I believe it was Stephen Stills. He also played bass on this song (using a pick, apparently).

[@CJ-zm8vd]

What amp and pedals are you using? Great tone and an even better cover!

[@ColinStachowski]

My signal: Guitar > Line 6 POD Studio UX1 > Amplitube 3 + Fender addon. The Fender amp it the same one that Eric used, '57 Champ.

[@rocknjac58]

Great solo at the end. EC really used a lot of compression on this one

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks a lot!

[@russellmackenzie2202]

All you players out there - never underestimate the cleanness of compression as opposed to overdrive or distortion

[@michellebotubolbrito3293]

congrats from spain, great job, please somebody have song backing track please? i need it, thanks in advance

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks! I don't play over the backing track, it's just the original song.

[@Piegoodman]

Hey Colin, awesome cover, do you have a tab you used? How long did it take to learn the solos?

[@ColinStachowski]

Yes, I do have. Email me and you’ll get it. I don’t remember but something like two of three days.

[@Taylor97]

Great cover again. So what album will you be recording songs from next? 461, assuming that you're going in order.

[@ColinStachowski]

Thank you for kind words and such quick response! Since I don't have a wah-wah pedal yet, I'll skip two songs (Bad Boy and Lonesome) and... yes, Ocean Boulevard is next. I'll start working on Motherless Children next morning :)

[@Taylor97]

Awesome! Can't wait for you to cover "Please Be With Me". It's one of my favorites of his, but there aren't really any good covers on youtube. I'm sure you'll do it justice :)

[@Nirvanailikeit]

Just GREAT !!!

[@ColinStachowski]

mark altshuler Thank you Mark! It's a Fender American Special Stratocaster.

[@jimmuller]

That's an awesome cover. You need more views but I'm not sure how many people remember that song.

[@ColinStachowski]

Thank you. You're right. After all it's not Wonderful Tonight :D

[@johnnyp8411]

[@ColinStachowski]

MrThomasv Thank you, it's a Fender American Special Stratocaster.

[@henrywarewolf5443]

How about SAME OLD BLUES? Can you please play it for me?

[@ColinStachowski]

Will record it once I get to Behind the Sun album. I go song by song.

[@andresvelasco8163]

How long did it take u to learn all this?

[@ColinStachowski]

Day or two to transcribe, couple days to practice - usually.

[@earGuitar]

Excellent performance. Great vid too, camera angles, etc. I do this song on KZbin and mine would sound better if you were playing lead. Peace!

[@ColinStachowski]

+earGuitar I saw your video when I was working on this ;)

[@NatanaelRicardo1]

Você usa guitar rig? Se sim poderia me enviar seus presets?

[@ColinStachowski]

I'm using Amplitube 3.

[@chasesguitar]

What are the chords to the solo? Thank you

[@ColinStachowski]

A & G all the time, all the way.

[@luckyisalreadyinuse]

Hey, nice work. Which Equip are you using to get this tone? Would u do the Just one Night Album, but with both, Eric and Albert? :P

[@ColinStachowski]

Hey gebamst! I use a digital version of Fender '57 Champ (Amplitube 3 through UX1). I don't have plans to cover the live versions of his songs. But who knows... maybe in the future. Right now I have a lot of material to cover. I'm glad you like it!

[@MrMrfreedom1]

Fucking outstanding young man

[@ColinStachowski]

+MrMrfreedom1 I'm glad you like it. Fuck yes!

[@mpowe123]

Nice cover.

[@ColinStachowski]

mpowe123 Thank you!

[@MrBKuv]

Eric Clapton, Jim gordon, leon Russell and Stephan Stills all contributed to this.

[@ColinStachowski]

Yes, true. Great song and lineup.

[@scoots8519]

You did your homework.

[@ColinStachowski]

Thanks!

[@henrywarewolf5443]

Sorry Mr, Clapton, but this kid plays much better than you. Colin, you're perfect. Almost GOD

[@ColinStachowski]

Hah, you're too kind! Thanks!

[@ricstep]

@@ColinStachowski You play great , stay humble like Clapton , don't let people like Henry pump the ego pedal . Good Luck

[@ColinStachowski]

Kyle Greathouse Thanks Kyle, will remember your words!

[@rdickinsondickinson]

Good copy, but where’s the soul and feeling that’s what counts

[@ColinStachowski]

In my heart.

[@russellmackenzie2202]

This guy asks where's the soul and feeling - man you are lost
