While Clapton’s personal opinions away from music have seemingly tarnished his legacy, a guitar was all Eric Clapton needed to forge a career that many would dream of, and he did it with the utmost gusto and compelling command of his weaponry. While many would attest to being swept up in the wave of creativity in the ’60s, Clapton was a determined and focused player.

Read More »Having picked Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson as part of his Desert Island Discs selection in 1989, it’s a fair bet that the two rank highly in Clapton’s estimations as to the greatest. Waters has often been cited as one of Clapton’s favourite artists, and he admits he has “had the greatest influence on me”. Highlighting Johnson’s heart-wrenching blues standard ‘Crossroad Blues,’ Clapton said: “For me, he’s the most disturbing and almost hardest to listen to of all the blues singers because it’s such emotionally charged music. Musically, it’s the most complicated”. Of course, Jimi Hendrix wasn’t just an incredible friend of Clapton’s, he was also competing in the field. Cream offered the American his first performance in London, and the guitarist dutifully got up and blew everybody away from the very first notes he played. Keith Altham of The Guardian and famed rock journalist of the time, notes of the meeting between Clapton and Hendrix, remembering: “Chandler going backstage after Clapton left in the middle of the song ‘which he had yet to master himself’; Clapton was furiously puffing on a cigarette and telling Chas: ‘You never told me he was that fucking good’.” Clearly, Chandler had not only found a gem of an artist but a legitimate contender for the throne. While Prince may not be the first name you think of when dreaming up a list of your favourite guitarists, that would be letting The Purple One’s other talents cloud his guitar genius. Clapton had often cited the singer as one of the best guitarists the world has ever seen, noting Purple Rain as the injection of energy rock and roll needed to stay alive: “At a time when I thought rock and roll was dead,” he said, before adding: “This is someone who is a reincarnation of Little Richard, Jimi Hendrix and James Brown in one. I thought that’s exactly what the world needed”. Another surprise inclusion for some – and a clever choice for others – as is the singer-songwriter, John Mayer. A pop heartthrob for a time, Mayer’s soft vocals and use of acoustic guitar often belie his incredible talent on the guitar, as able to noodle and meander up and down the frets as any other. While it’s easy to point to his inclusion in Dead & Company as proof alone, Clapton’s inclusion of him on his album Eric Clapton & Friends should convince any doubters. What’s more, when Mayer did work on the record, he apparently cut the three tracks in just over an hour, hitting each part on the “first or second take”. It blew Clapton away, who commented: “I was gobsmacked. Really. I knew respect for John because he’s extremely gifted, his facility is phenomenal. He is a master”.
