Signe was the first Clapton I learnt on guitar and it's a really killer tune.

Fuck man. I always have trouble playing that on guitar 🤣 Good job. I've been trying to get it down for about 8 months... 😐 (not straight.. or 24/7, but just in general).

Eric Clapton is one of those musicians that I know in my heart is really talented and good and loved but for some reason he bores the shit out of me. I have Layla (which I dislike despite trying and trying to understand and like it!), I have Disraeli Gears (which I think is okay), I have the unplugged (which is boring but pretty good at times) and have John Mayal And the blues breakers with EC (Which I love!)
For some reason that record with John Mayall really is something I dig!
Again, I realize he's classic and all but I just feel he is like the legendary musician equivalent of the color mauve.

I've just started looking into Clapton's music. I've been listening to Disraeli Gears and his D&TD album.

I like most well knowned songs, but I've only listened to Santana - Santana. That album was fun.

I love Santana. I've actually found his music the best to study to.

Personally, I love almost all of Eric Claptons work, but admit his solo albums can be a bit hit and miss. Best Clapton is D&D, with Disraeli Gears and Crossroads not too far behind..

Just listened to new album, and it was really a pop/rock album with no real classic clapton guitar. Rubbish.

Personally, I love almost all of Eric Claptons work, but admit his solo albums can be a bit hit and miss. Best Clapton is D&D, with Disraeli Gears and Crossroads not too far behind.

Unplugged album was really good though, and the first track Signe was the first Clapton I learnt on guitar and it's a really killer tune.

I have that album... I like it but I'll have to agree with JMan here. Or actually I think technically he'e agreeing with me. D&TD work is the best I think. Actually I'll take Disraeli Gears over the Unplugged. It's great, but I just think Clapton is most comfortable with an electric in his hands.
