For all you Clapton fans....

I am a huge Eric Clapton fan and have followed everything he has done. I have seen him on three occasions, one of them when he was not at his best. How many of you know about his "blues" virtuosity. A recording called Eric Clapton Blues Polydor 314 547 178-2 I have it on a 2 disc cd set, and it showcases some of his greatest performances, both studio and live. There are also some tracks, such as Ain't That Loving You, a studio track, which can easily show you what your system is really made of. I guarantee a must have for all !

I'm his fan too, but technically can't consider him blues virtuoso sorry... I can tell he's very pleasant and have lots of spirit, but can't tell he's super-technical. I learned to play blues of his tabs and do not consider him difficult to repeat if you're good hard-working student:-).

I like his rock Cream times better than nowdays though...

Folks,
an objective point of view not always critisizing it's just discussion of facts.

I did not intend to critisize or bash EC. No way! I enjoy playing his songs and sing them to females I want:-). I only intended to critisize the term 'virtuoso' which he's not and need not to be as mentioned before.

Somehow I related your term 'blues virtuosity' to virtuosity of EC himself... I'm far not a 'measurement unit' of virtuosity, but there are tons of crafty musicians that I would have no idea how to exersize to pick up their techniques and so I believe EC.
I'm not trying to sound like EC, but often use similar approach to guitar which works for me...
Is there Msdecibela? LOL just kidding!
