re: Is Eric Clapton The Most Overrated Guitarist Of All Time?

I would encourage anyone here who believes that Clapton is a mediocre talent, to find the Austin City Limits tribute to SRV. At the end of the show, Clapton, King, Bonnie Raitt, Neil Schon, Jimmy Vaughn, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray all joined in for an All Star jam to end the show. Guys, Eric Clapton absolutely fricking melted every guitar player on that stage (with the exception of Schon) and it wasn't even close.

As a guitar player, I can hear things being played and understand the technical difficulty of it. That was the night I became fully aware of the mans ability to play.
