@itheuser First I'm 51 and was listening to the music of that era. I think that Clapton is pretty good, but he's way over-rated to me. I believe it was Pete Townsend that met up with Clapton and talked about how they were doomed. This new guy named Jimi Hendrix was doing things with a guitar that he couldn't even imagine doing.

Clapton is an interesting one. He made a lot of good songs and a lot of terrible ones. On one hand you have his stuff with Cream and on the other you have Riding with the King and his 2010 album. Most guitar players can play like him after a year of practice. Even by measure of his contemporaries there were better players - Page, Hendrix, Beck, Knopfler, Alman and literally any jazz guitarist. I guess Clapton became Clapton because he was pushing the boundaries of electric guitar and was one of the first music superstars and serves as an inspiration to this day for a lot of guitarists. The man doesn't deserve hate.

I can’t imagine anyone not liking Clapton. But then again there’s every kind of fool.

Clapton introduced me to the blues. After years of researching, studying, listening... not only to the music but the culture, Clapton is a true bluesman. He took from the originators, made his own, has shared and brought many others into the spotlight. The thing I find most interesting about Clapton is that though he is a killer player, he seems to LOVE playing rhythm and staying in the background from time to time.

I love everything Clapton has done in all his years. Every time I study his solos, there are so many nuances to it that you can spend a long time just to get that little part right and still, you are going to get an approximation. Thanks for this videos, really nice.

I love you my brother! 43 years of guitar playing now for me and I love to watch the joy as you give these lessons! And especially now during this pandemic I can still sit here and play for 8 hours by myself! I think many musicians forgot the pure joy of just playing guitar! THANKS SO MUCH FOR KEEPING IT ALIVE! W/💖 from NYC! 🤷‍♂️🙏🏼💖☮️

Love you playing an explanations, but most of all your enthusiasm. That comes through in your playing and makes for a great lesson. Not just the notes, but the feeling.

Clapton is one of those reason why I love playing blues licks. He is an awesome guitar player.

Your guitar playing is blowing my mind. So passionate and energetic but laid back and relaxed at the same time! You're definitely in the zone.

Your playing is amazing and I thank you so much for your time creating videos. 🎼🎶🎸🎵👍

Clapton and Beck: my two gods. ❤️

I SO enjoy your playing. Your snippets are better than many other whole songs.

It's easy to diss on someone with so much classic work from the 60s and 70s (and later of course), because you've heard it so many times. It might sounds cliche. But it wasn't then.

Clapton is a great song writer arranger and singer that compliments with really good blues based lead guitar. He was THE pioneer of super loud distorted lead guitar.

Just subscribed GP, loved it! have been playing for 50 years and always loved Clapton. Great stuff!

Woaha! Really like your natural style and relaxed explanations.

I really think Eric might be the most terrifying guitar player ever. Unassuming, but at any moment he could just turn it on and smoke the competition. I mean, Jimi Hendrix crossed an entire ocean to meet this man. I can't imagine how scary it must have been in 60's London to be a contemporary of Clapton. Most guys never stood a chance. And never will.

Eric Clapton Unplugged is one of the greatest all around albums of all time. Its perfection and its fucking live.

“ you know you’re doing something right when you’re doing the same thing as Beethoven.” Not only are you a great guitar player but you’re a great teacher and you’re funny.!! I would like to point out that he just played while my guitar gently weeps solo perfect to the white album version. Even Clapton doesn’t do that nowadays.

I enjoy your voice unlike some other's. And I enjoy your playing. I would enjoy playing drums to longer recordings of it.
