Leader(s) in the Field / Exemplary Work(s)
Eric Clapton and friends on Derek And The Dominos’ “Layla”: “It still knocks me out every time”
Eric Clapton is basically the only guitar player who influenced me – even though I don’t sound like him. There was a basic simplicity to his playing, his style, his vibe and his sound. He took a Gibson guitar and plugged it into a Marshall, and that was it. The basics. The blues. His solos were melodic and memorable – and that’s what guitar solos should be, part of the song. I could hum them to you if I wanted.
