The Master artist who influenced me the most to feel the blues and just take the guitar and FEEEL it! You Mr. Clapton are the one and only and for me the best guitarist ever.!!! Just want to add, after listening to this many times, that Mr. Clapton is also the best blues singer that I have ever heard singing, Clearly R. Jonson had a great influence on his playing but such talent is so rare in this world so I can proudly say that Mr. Clapton is my only and greatest guitarist and blues singer in the world, ever!

Eric and Peter Green. There was always a rival between Eric and Green. Although Green looked up to Eric, there were equals and pushing the same style and techniques. Of course this is the 60's. But I was happy to see Clapton pay tribute to the late great Peter Green. His equal. I'm glad I lived at the time to experience them. If not for Clapton, I wouldn't have discovered American blues and I wouldn't have picked up the guitar.

Where did you get an idea they were rivals?

Clapton like so many rock musicians of the 60's had a deep appreciation for the blues and built on those older songs to create the early hard rock such as with Crossroads, a Robert Johnson acoustic song from 1936. The Winterland live Cream recording is the defining masterpiece of this process. I Can't Quit You Babe by Willie Dixon was amped up by LZ in the same way. What's interesting with Clapton is that he still honored those early blues players with authentic performances of songs like Malted Milk, Walkin Bues or this outstanding performance of Drifting Blues, a Charles Brown song. Besides the soulful rendition here fingerpicked on an acoustic guitar like the old masters, his constant stream of old blues licks and Clapton style variations is just spectacular. This one song showcases his decades of development as a blues player and its just stunning. I have been playing guitar for over 60 years and this performance is humbling. Pure genius.

Eric is smooth man…

I just love his voice. So much soul. And of course the guitar playing is as good as it can be.

It's not just his virtuosity it's the feelings in the NOTES he plays!

What an incredible musician. He plays with a fluidity of mercury and the touch of a mythical God. Pure genius.

Eric will always be my hero. Infinite love and regards to my man!
