After the dissolution of the most important Blues Rock bands of the 1960's called Cream, Eric was extremely busy. He was in a band Called Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominos, and he also released his first official solo album title Eric Clapton. The style of music on this album is a perfect mix of Blues, Rock, Pop and Gospel. This album would set the stage for his future career as one of the most successful recording artists of all time. I feel that the maturity of the material on this album gave him a head start among many of his peers. He has been very consistent throughout his entire career to be able to remain true to the Blues while also blending in the more commercial elements of Pop music.

This guitar solo was a request and it was surprisingly difficult to replicate. Clapton has a strange but impressive skill of being very precise in a loose way, or loose in a precise way.
