Building a Youtube Eric Clapton Anthology
I have found a couple songs I never heard before and several I had forgotten about. Needless to say it is a time consuming endeavor but one I am enjoying a lot. Those of you young pups here that due to a lack of radio time in the past 20 years have not be introduced to "Slowhand" I can cheerfully recommend that you look up some of his music. He has a lot of solo work that is preceded by his earliest work with the Yardbirds and Cream.
He has played with some of the best rock guitarists that ever strung an axe. Jeff Beck, Jimmy Paige, Derek Trucks, just to name a few. Give him a listen if you are completely new to the name. He is considered by millions of people to be one of the greatest rock and blues guitarists of all time.seeya

We go to Nassau often, to Atlantis. Several time his yacht has been docked there (Va Bene). I've never seen him on deck but its not like I would expect. Fabulous musician..and an interesting life. I recommend his autobiography. Great read

Re: Building a Youtube Eric Clapton Anthology
Eric is a pioneer of rock guitar. Along with Page and Beck the Yardbirds launched the era of rock guitar. combining rock and roll guitar technic with both blues and jazz voicings via the influence of John Mayall.

Building a Youtube Eric Clapton Anthology
I recently watched a autobiography show on Clapton, and his time with Delaney and Bonnie is where he grew confidence to sing and become a front man. Clapton grew tired of traveling with them because of Delaney and Bonnie’s knock down drag out fighting. While Delaney had coaxed Clapton out of his shell, he still wasn’t comfortable in the spotlight, which is the reason he named the band Derek and the Dominoes instead of using his own name.

On the Road with Delaney and Bonnie—I dont wanna discuss it! ! Also, the stuff from the JohnnyCash Show ezpecially that “got to get better in a little while” riff. And the Winwood/Clapton live at MSG is a great greatest hits live for both men. Cant Find My Way Home electric studio a good compilation find.

Re: Building a Youtube Eric Clapton Anthology
His friendship with George Harrison was unique and resulted in some of his best work: his solo on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," "Badge" and of course, "Layla," which was inspired by his then-unrequited love for Patti Harrison.

Yes, he's got good collaborations with Mark Knopfler of course he's tight with JJ Cale, too. Those 1971 videos on the Johnny Cash show are worthy and quick youtube finds. Just the 4 piece Dominoes.

Re: Building a Youtube Eric Clapton Anthology
Of course I love his older stuff, but here lately (since you mentioned your building an anthology) I have had to dig up some of his stuff from the early 80's.
Pretending, Forever Man, & the re-doing of After Midnight. It sure has made for some fun times in the kitchen cooking with Grammy.
Thanks, Dan for making me re-explore the genius of Eric Clapton no matter what time period of his career...One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter.

I don’t Want To discuss it! D&B
Holy Mother that live version I think from that Knopfler show.
Got to get better in a little while the short one off that completist Layla issue.
Electric Cant Find My Way home, Blind faith
It was Winwood’s 75th bday yeaterday and I can’t get enough including that Winwood/Clapton MSG show. Them Changes and Forever Man and then the whole Derek and the Dominoes meets Traffic stuff is so good.
The Dirty City Winwood with clapton is good this century effort.

Nickname of Slowhand
Eric Clapton also talked about the roots of his nickname in his autobiography ‘Clapton – The Autobiography,’ saying that:
“On my guitar, I used light-gauge guitar strings, with a very thin first string, which made it easier to bend the notes, and it was not uncommon during the most frenetic bits of playing for me to break at least one string.
During the pause, while I was changing my string, the frenzied audience would often break into a slow handclap, inspiring Giorgio to dream up the nickname of ‘Slowhand’ Clapton.”

Re: Building a Youtube Eric Clapton Anthology
Clapton says this is the best rock and roll guitar playing on an R&B Song that was ever done.
Hey Jude by Wilson Picket and guitar by Duane "Sky Dog" Allman
Recorded at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals AL. IIRC Duane was not a session player there until they heard him playing with Wilson during a break in his recording. I seem to recall that Wilson said I WANT him on this track for sure, and the rest was history.seeya
