But I've seen Clapton live about 15 times in the last 20 years and the best I've ever heard him play was May 2010 playing with Steve Winwood. If you've not seen him live in a while I recommend you try him again.. He's not lost it.

Like someone said i was totally blind with "speed and distorion" trying to play like bands of the 80´s. I have learned from Clapton, Muddy Waters or Peter Frampton, that you got to feel the music inside you, you have to let your feelings run trough the guitar, and i realized that playing "as fast as possible" i could not make it feel right although it sounded good. When i got the "Unplugged" from Clapton it totally changed my playing, i realized that from the start to the end he never played a single note that you can not identify, every note he plays is shiny and in the correct time. After that i get what i could from Clapton, and i learn from listening and playing over it. Pentatonics are my main scales now, sometimes i add "bluenotes" so it sounds different, i quit studying rare scales invented by you know who. I think Clapton has THE feeling, and that´s the most important thing in every musician. I also listen to Angus Young (AC/DC) or Peter Frampton and they have that kind of feeling too... in different ways. THE FEELING is everything, if you love what you do and what you play you got to let it sound trough the guitar. Slowdown and enjoy every note that´s the key i think.

There will never be another SRV with his endless depth, he was never searching for the next thought, he's right up there. Tragically his life was cut far too short. I saw Clapton 3 times, Derek & the Dominos in about 72, solo tour in 87 and 2007 in LA. He keeps reinventing himself and is probably one of the cleanest most articulate player I've ever seen or heard. And look at all the different styles. If you haven't seen the " Making of the Robert Johnson Sessions " DVD Get it now !!! No he's not as fast as the Cream days, too many guitar players are blinded by speed. It's content not quantity. His content is incredible......God Bless..Jim Eric Clapton has to be my all-time favorite.

He is all blues on that with some dynomite licks & solos. I also really enjoy his Unplugged album for other reasons. Thanks for the help and lessons. Cheers. Mine has to be Journeyman.

Another one of my favorite Clapton songs, would be his cover of the Ray Charles song "Hard Times". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppHBC9VWm8s&feature=related Thanks for the great comments guys!

Not flashy but very expressive and tasty. From his electric lead playing to his bluesy acoustic playing. I personally like that skunky down home feel. So I would say Eric's version of Milk Calf Blues by Robert Johnson has to be one of my favorites from Sessions for Robert J. True Blues and Clapton at his nastiest.
