Anyway, it's true. He surrounded himself with a number of perfectly capable/pro rhythm sections post Cream, but none of them with the ferocious vision of Jack and Ginger.

Anybody that thinks the RnR hall of fame matters, probably thinks American Idol does as well.

I agree with Higgz. He's not a bad guitarist by any stretch but he is definitely waaay overrated.

Those who have attempted to master the fretboard and follow musicians of the serious sort hold standards that casual listeners and groupies will never grasp.


Don't be the darkness.

America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.

When I say “over playing” I just mean he was trying to do too much. Especially towards the end. Seemed a bit lost improvising and never hit a groove.

Most of it was good and fit.

Not here to argue your opinion of Clapton, but when did that ever become an " incredibly melodic tune"? And, who convinced you that those are "blues licks"? Which great blues players get your listening?

I don’t GAF about the RnR HOF, I just want to know what makes you such an authority on great or not so great guitarists? Asking for a friend…

Back in the 70's while he was addicted, he wasn't even the best guitarist on stage. That's if he could get on stage.
