Eric Clapton is actually the greatest guitarist that is still living although you can't leave out people like Mark knopfler and people like that but you're actually watching the acoustic version of this song Eric Clapton come from a group called Derek and the dominos you oughta watch some different versions of this song Eric Clapton can really shred something serious he's one of the hardest electric guitarist to follow because of his skills he is a natural when I was young on thing I knew is that my Mom and Dad loved him but as I got older I can see why this man is the truth he also does blues festivals he's even perform with b.b. King

The ORIGINAL needs to be played. Layla is about a story given to him and Patti Harrison , GEORGE ’ wife. Evidently, it's a love story about two people who can't be together. Long story short, he married GEORGE HARRISON'S wife.

OMG, this version is so stylized and laid back it's nothing like the original track. You may have had your first taste of Clapton, but you still haven't heard Layla. The studio version features one of the most searing electric lead riffs from the period, nothing short of iconic. And the whole song transforms for a long sweeping coda that is just gorgeous. The only things this has in common are the words, the chord progression, and the man sitting there. Please give it another shot and listen to Layla from the studio.

The original studio version was electric and up tempo with Eric on lead guitar and Duane Allman from the Allman Brothers sitting in on slide guitar with Eric's group that he formed called Derek and the Dominoes. It was in 1971and it's a classic and was a hit as single. He did MTV Unplugged in the early 90's and that is when he first did Layla acoustically. That live version became a single and Layla was once again at the top of the charts 20 years after the studio debut.

He's called slowhand because, way back when, if he broke a string on his guitar, the concert would stop, he would replace the string. The British being British would start a slow hand clap during these "breaks", Chris Dreja (guitarist in the Yardbirds with Eric) gave him the nickname Slowhand based on that.

Eric Clapton was the first of the 3 famous guitarists in the London band The Yardbirds, along with Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, quit when he was 20 and joined John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, Delaney and Bonnie and Friends, and finally Derek and the Dominos in 1970, making classic recordings with all of them. He’s been a solo artist since about 1970, when his first solo album came out, although the Derek and the Dominos record was actually recorded after that. He also was a friend to Beatles, Stones, Who, Hendrix, … and played on a Beatles record, a Stones record, was uncredited but all over George Harrison’s ‘All Things Must Pass’, was part of John Lennon’s band on a couple live gigs… maybe the premier English guitarist. Anything from Derek and the Dominos is great studio or live.

The piano outro of the original version is EPIC! If you've ever seen the movie "Goodfellas", you'll understand.. This acoustic version is almost a reggae/swing version. It's a good re-mix, but the original is the ultimate! Thanks for your platform!

This is the acoustic version of the same song he did in a much more rock version years earlier. This was the second time this song hit the top of the charts. Both songs have a different feel. It shows his mastery of the guitar that he can play it both ways. He has had a 60 year career and back in the 60's there was grafitti on the walls in England saying "Clapton is God". He has the respect of a ton of artists especially in the blues genre.

Whole thing is a great listen.

The songwriter/ singer of the Toy Story song is the phenomenal Randy Newman. He may be an acquired taste for some because he’s very unusual but so brilliant. And I agree that you really need to listen to the full electric version of Layla with the group Derek And The Dominos. You should know that Eric Clapton played in many different bands over the years and so many fantastic musicians. You should listen to Cream- just 3 top musicians (Eric Clapton with Jack Bruce on Bass and Ginger Baker). “Crossroads” is phenomenal. Layla is his pet name for the wife of his best friend he fell in love with in real life. She was Pattie Boyd and she was married to George Harrison, one of the Beatles. It’s quite a story. She did end up with Eric eventually for some years before they crashed. But both he and George wrote great songs inspired by her.

Anyways, over 4 decades, ECs style of playing and also his voice evolved tremendously. He has had super hits, then re-arranged them to be even more super. It's crazy what he can do. The man is a super super talent and he plays several genres of music. Of course he's almost 80 now but he still performs around the country. Easily one of the top musicians of all time.

I’d recommend that you listen to the original, from the album “Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs” by Derek & the Dominos. Much different, and equally (if not more) amazing. By the way, the song Layla was written for Pattie Boyd, who was Clapton’s friend George Harrison’s wife at the time. He wanted to woo her away, but in the end she couldn’t do it even though Pattie and George no longer got along.

I believe this may be the concert I attended with my sister in Nashville in September of 2021. It was absolutely amazing.

Just came across this channel like 20 minutes ago. Man music is passion and I love that you’re expanding genres! I grew up on hip hop too and when I got older I started branching and I’ve just gone with it. My music taste is all over the place. This is one my favorites. Awesome man! Subscribed for sure

Great musician played on many songs in the sixties including the beatles. BB King called him his son. Like all the best UK musicians in the late fifties onwards loved the blues coming from the US. They all respected blues players.

I seen him in Nashville tn. I think it was around 93. He was sitting like he is here, and I swear it look like smoke coming off his fingers. He is one of many that GOD touched, with their playing abilities.

Him with the guitar is like Elton John on the piano expert in emotion and technical use. He does not need to stage. This is one if not thee favorite song of his

To my knowledge, the first appearance of the song was on the album, Layla, by Derek and the Dominos. Tis was a one-time collaboration for the lineup which included Eric Clapton (the Yardbirds, Cream, Blind Faith), Dwayne Allman (The Allman Brothers), Jim GOrdon (a well-known session musician in drums and piano), and the incomparable Bobby Whitlock (the Righteous Brothers). It includes an extended piano interlude not used in this version that, supposedly, was written by Rita Collodge. It is a star-studded work and well worth hearing over and over.

Eric Clapton is super versatile .. he has this laid back song another much more upbeat track called Cocaine and a much slower extremely sad song about his young son who passed called Heaven

Last time I saw him live was my 50th birthday. He played this both ways - electric and acoustic. He rocked both.

This is from an "unplugged" concert on MTV, back when MTV was still kind of about music. Kind of. Lol. Most bands doing these sat down as these were very chill concerts. You should look into all of them. Imagine groups like Nirvana doing this.

Fell off in love with this man’s music when I was 16 and he was with Cream. Have followed him through his multiple incarnations since. Still, you ain’t heard nothing yet. Listen to the searing rock version with one of the best guitar solos. Cocaine kills it. The bluesy Lay Down Sally. Have seen him 3 times. No talk, just amazing guitar with the best musicians and vocalists behind him.

Discovered you from your stellar Harry Mack reactions ... and you've grown to be one of my top-3 reactors ) alongside Rob Squad Reactions & Van, from LFR Family. Listening to you on the way home from work is like getting to hang out with an old friend --- you just seem like a chill dude with a good heart & lots of insight. If you're ever in PHX, drinks are on me. 😊

Tears in Heaven. Clapton wrote this after his young son died after falling from of their apartment window. His grief, I believe was comforted by his music.
