Eric Clapton blues question - Page 2

asatbender · December 23rd, 2007, 02:53 PM

I guess I liked the it so well because it is a slow blues type of song. I will check into Joe Bonnamassa but from what I have heard on his magazine lessons, he is too fast for me. I also liked the Freddie King stuff you guys have posted. I guess my next question is where can one buy used cd's for cheap?

Here's what I have so far:

Eric Clapton- From th Cradle, Bluesbreakers, and Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, and Just One Night.

Freddie King is a Blues Master" "1934-1976

I will also check out Peter Green and Rory Gallagher

Thanks guys keep 'em coming!

Someone's got to say it, it's good because he's playing a Gibson. Clapton is better on a Gibson.

That is such a true statement. Not sure what his fascination is with Strats--unless it's the endorsement deal. Even at that, his Strat is specially designed with a mid-boost to make it sound like--you guessed it--a Gibson. But I've never heard him sound better, or even play better, than he did on that 335. I just happened to be listening to the Live Cream record today and his tone was exquisite. Think that was all the 335.

I generally like EC's Gibson playing the most, EXCEPT for the often-forgotten "London Howlin' Wolf Sessions" recording. It's not all great, but I Ain't Superstitious, Built for Comfort, The Red Rooster, Do the Do, and Wang Dang Doodle all do the deed for me as among Eric's best.
