I heard him in an interview say that he needs a plan before he enters the stage. That his main skill is not to come up with guitar moves on the spot, but i am willing to bet good money that on tis day, he did not need a plan what so ever. He just played from the soul.

How can you get a better guitar solo.. man? It's almost 4 minutes long and it's a fucking improvised journey of pure melodic beauty and raw feel. Ofcourse you have solo's that might be technically or melodically sounder.. but nothing i've heard improvised that is even close to the magic that this solo produces. It's fucking exceptional. It's a true honour that we get that chance to see Clapton peak at his most finest.. way after he "peaked" at his finest. This video is a memory that will live with me for life.

Not only was his solo good, but his voice...holy shit. People take that for granted. Spot on

Clapton’s rhythm is impeccable.

I heard clapton in an interview once about the late Stevie Ray Vaughn. He said something about SRV's ability to constantly come up with new improvisations and licks on the fly without even thinking about it. That it just flowed from his soul in an unending flow. And Clapton then said. I could never do that. And he explained that he always had to have a plan before he began playing. I dare suggest that this time, he skipped the plan and played straight from the soul. So yes. Clapton can play straight from the soul if he is inspired enough. Damn!!! that solo was great!!!!

Game,set and match for all other players who question the greatness of EC. This version and the Hyde Park version are probably the best solos for Sheriff. Not sure anyone could build a solo to this level. It just takes off as it moves on, with great flow and phrasing. EC has put down a lifetime of work that few if any will ever match or come near. His playing should be required listening to any player who wants to play blues, rock guitar. It's rare when someone comes along who masters an instrument and style of playing to this extreme!

@sebastianadlercreutz

2 жыл бұрын

While I agree that this is one of his best live performances of all time and one that easily reach my top 10 of the greatest solos in history, I think the Hyde Park version is his worst. In that one he fails miserably to hit the notes and falls out of melody. The flow is horrible, he is struggling constantly on where to go next and tries to do stuff that is way too over-complicated for this tune. The lead-in to the solo sound like he's shredding on a sick cat and it makes my ears bleed. I never regarded Clapton as a natural born guitar player, it always felt to me like more of a hard-earned skill that kept improving as he got out of his abuse, found balance in his life and increased his repertoire, and just like an old wine he just kept getting better and better, sadly though his peak has been way too short, and I really don't care about his period in Cream. Clapton talks about this when he first heard SRV on the radio in his car, he had to pull over to just listen. SRV was pure talent and the difference between the Hard-Learned Masters and the Talent, can be heard on the SRV Texas Flood El Mocambo version. SRV just opens up and let it flow without thinking or planning ahead on what to play next, and like an endless flowing stream it just comes naturally to him and without interruption, at least until someone pulls the plug or the drummer gets bored and brings him out of his trance. SRV died way too young and I would had loved to hear him at the age of 50 carrying the experience/mastery of Clapton. Another great example is Gary More playing Red House at the Fender 50 year Anniversary, it's a mind blowing performance and sadly one of his last, but again you can still feel that he is thinking while playing. Don't get me wrong I love Clapton and Moore for their mastery and perfection in sound, I am just having wet-dreams about having both worlds in a guitarist, unfortunately I think God has reserved that treat for heaven only, as we keep having six strings down.

Thank you mr Clapton outstanding guitar you are one of the best in the world and my favorite

What I love so much here is how Clapton is dressed like a straight up dad hrer, yet totally melts the faces of everyone lmaooo. It's a musician's equivalent of "fuck-you-money," just in a musical setting. Let's face it; clapton could go out there in a pair of boxers shorts and crocs and still be able to melt everyone's faces. It's just so cool that he is at a point where he can drop the "rock star" image and just live for the music itself. Awesome work.

Yes this is the best performance of this song ever . The stars were aligned his vocals are so strong and soulful and when Nathan started dancing he knew what was ready to happen the best solo ever

Steve Gadd going hard in the background. Amazing arrangement all round!

What an honor it must be to have Eric Clapton make your song HIS SONG!!!!

There are many great guitarist in whole world but this solo is the best live solo i ever heard. No van halen, satriani, vai, johnson, malmsteen, or younger generation. The best solos are in 65's-80's. Look at that, angus young, jimi hendrix , joe walsh, uli jon roth, mark knopfler, steve ray vaughan, david gilmour, jimmi page or etc are in old generations too. Old was great. Old generation was lucky. New generation know only cell phone, pc games etc. :(

Try Comfortably numb in Pompeii by David Gilmour (pink floyd)

i wish to go back to the first time i heard this, cause i won't ever experience those chills again

Still in this 2020 hard Quarantine your Solo guitar will be inmortal 🎸 I LOVE YOU God ERIC! ♥♥♥

Clapton/ Sreve Gadd :perfect.

In the 2010 live version he uses a different shape for the minor7 chords with the bass in the fifth string, which allowes him to give to the song a pretty amazing dinamics!
