For all you Clapton fans....

I am a huge Eric Clapton fan and have followed everything he has done. I have seen him on three occasions, one of them when he was not at his best. How many of you know about his "blues" virtuosity. A recording called Eric Clapton Blues Polydor 314 547 178-2 I have it on a 2 disc cd set, and it showcases some of his greatest performances, both studio and live. There are also some tracks, such as Ain't That Loving You, a studio track, which can easily show you what your system is really made of. I guarantee a must have for all !

I did not intend to critisize or bash EC. No way! I enjoy playing his songs and sing them to females I want:-). I only intended to critisize the term 'virtuoso' which he's not and need not to be as mentioned before.

E.C. 's technique may not have been very technical but it was his own . One of the few musician's I can listen to for hours .

Marakanetz, you brought up the term virtuoso. One does not need to be virtuoso to be enjoyed, as everyone on this thread is indicating. EC blues, I mean rocks !

Marakanetz, I was not attacking you. I did feel you were a bit critical of EC for not being "virtuoso". However, you did change the direction of this thread......If you really sound like EC, can I be one of your girls and be played and sung to. LOL. Only kidding......

Somehow I related your term 'blues virtuosity' to virtuosity of EC himself... I'm far not a 'measurement unit' of virtuosity, but there are tons of crafty musicians that I would have no idea how to exersize to pick up their techniques and so I believe EC.
I'm not trying to sound like EC, but often use similar approach to guitar which works for me...
Is there Msdecibela? LOL just kidding!
