Not many people can cover themselves, but Eric Clapton did just that when he re-imagined "Layla" on his Unplugged album in 1992. It's a beautiful song with so much soul and depth, I never tire of hearing, playing or teaching either version. This one is long overdue and I hope you enjoy!

This guy is one of the best acoustic guitarist i have ever seen on UA-cam
This guy fucking awesome but chek the acoustician
Tommy Emmanuel
Agreed, Corey is amazing…. Totally unique and shouldn’t be compared with Tommy. There is enough room in this world that they can both hold their place as straight inspirational to us normal humans.
Or josh turner guitar…
James Bartholomeo
Holy crap ... the ease at which he uses different phrasings and incorporates fills is mind blowing.
When people tell me that I’m good at guitar I thank them, but then I compare myself to players like this to keep my ego well in check
Real shit
Just like Jimmy Page. Whenever people proposed that he was one of the greats, he hit em with "I need to practice". Respect
Lol , Rubbish practice !
Better than the lack off being told how good you are
Thats what keeps my ego in check 😛😛
Ah man there’ll always be someone better than you at anything in life. Don’t compare yourself to others, just to your previous self :)
from the first notes I was waiting the claps from the crowd. Unbelievable talent, passion and devotion. A true acoustic hero.
Came for the guitar.... stayed for the voice! Niiiice!
Good lord, man. I randomly bumped into this video. You’re an assassin on the fretboard. Kudos to you. There’s guys like me that have played guitar for 30 years and either can’t remember a song I learned yesterday, or can’t play what I learned yesterday because of hand pain……and then there is this dude. Glad to know you’re out there my man
I’m sure you’re still great!💕
beautifull man never seen anybody do the guitar and vocals of this song so effortlessly!!!
This is the best version I've heard besides the original. I can tell you have a natural feel for music and also put the work in to get as good as you are. Great stuff man.
Some of the BEST acoustic covers on UA-cam... hands down. Love it!
The solo made me wanna throw my acoustic and never touch it again. Stunning
Every one has their own unique contribution to music. Your heart is the only one of it's kind. Play from it, and you will be special.
Hilarious!🤪🤣🤣😘
What makes this guy so cool is his style
Man! Not only this to me is one of the best songs of all time but this is one of the, if not THE best covers I've ever heard. Hat down, even though I don't have one on !!
I think u mean "hats off" or "hands down" lol but hands off and hat down works too I guess lol
You play like butter my friend...so smooth! Great cover. You've encouraged me to attempt to learn even a fraction of this masterpiece 😂
I hear you! I’m gonna be attempting some of this today. RIP my fingers
this inspires me to practice alot
Incredible rendition of one of the most iconic songs of our era. Well done sir!
this was insanely good!! i get motivated 1000x by hearing you playing but at the same time i want to throw my guitar in the trashcan. keep these banger covers coming!
Say my name
@@user-zn6xf8ow6h You’re Heisenberg….
Bro every single one of your covers blows me away. I keep watching video after video thinking "ok, this one will probably be mid" but nope, you knock it out of the park every single time.
Most are focused on guitar but the guy can sing just as well/tasteful. Thank you Cory for what you do and being real.
to be able to sing and play the song on guitar perfectly is something we dont see often. You are a true legend
Yeah I most appreciate how all your covers honor the original but ABSOLUTELY have YOUR own feeling and flair and feel. Bravo my man
This kind of videos should go viral not the the pop songs we hear nowadays.
Man I wish I could pull these licks between chords off as effortlessly as you do. All them hors of practice are showing, respect to you for that, and thank you for sharing your gift 😎
simply the best cover of this great classic I've seen. Corey you are amazing
Became a munk…believe that?
Seriously impressive vocal and acoustic combo. Flawless performance in a single take with no cutaways also. Superb.
Excellent vocals and guitar work!
See if you can spot this one
😂
Oh man, I've been waiting forever to see you do this one. Stand-out job and yet another one I'll watch many many times in my vain attempts to emulate your chops.
Corey,, you have an awesome gift. I'm just speechless, totally speechless. Your style is awesome, both guitar playing and singing. Simply amazing.
This was just amazingly beautiful. . . .
Someone needs to sign Corey to a recording contract stat, and get him some top notch backup musicians, c’mon!
I think the interest comes from hearing him perform unaccompanied. I often think the test of a piece or song is, how does it sound on unaccompanied piano or guitar?
he is nothing special dude ... if he makes an original hit song that would be something else of course. but theres thousands upon thousands like him out there- this one does not deserve a rec contract anymore than the next one ...
Wow...top level ! Vocal and quitar ! 10 points from Romania !
this guy is a visual representation of "perfection"
Danke!
kocham
wih love from malaysia.. what a wonderful voice..
Just clicking through suggested videos. Didn't expect to be blown away like that... You're a true talent.
This man was born with that kind of talent, it would take more a lifetime to play like he does
Eric would be so proud seeing this
Absolutely amazing !
This is the best Layla cover I've ever seen, period! I'm a huge Clapton fan but this cover, in my opinion, is better than Clapton's any unplugged rendition of Layla. How can one be so fluent, savvy, amazing and heartful with guitar? Well, I think it's a one word answer ----- practice.
Come on… I love all the versions of Clapton including the latest ones.. full of soul… nothing can top that including the vocals… the version with the blue Martin in particular.
@@gowwar491 Was I so inarticulate, mate? I said that this cover is *in my opinion* the best because of all the splendid work Corey has done here. Like I said, I'm a huge EC fan, and I apparently love all his covers.
You don't have to have a say on everything.
@@prathameshbhambure sorry if i offended you man, it was not my intention… it’s just that in my opinion that the best covers are the ones of the man himself. The voices doing the chorus are so good… the piano….and the voice of Clapton. But this cover is good, no doubt on that - especially the mixing of the solo while keeping the chords.
This must be heaven.
Man is skilled
Mind blowing that he became a munk so I read huh?
Nice job Corey!
Man your vocals are amazing!
Perhaps THE BEST cover on UA-cam hands down 🙌
What more can be said?? An absolute master of his art!!! Cheers!!!
Binge watching your covers and i can not believe what i hear and see
Rare cover, maybe the only that I put in my playlist, I want it on Deezer 😢
Hoooolyyyyy! This guy is insane! Such an awesome cover!!!
Yes, best cover artist out there !!! Love your stuff man. Good for you.
This is amazing! My niece was named after this song ❤🙌.. this guy is absolutely class
Absolutely fantastic
Nice. Sounds great.
Increible, amo hermno
So much negativity filling our minds from every angle these days. Yet everytime I click on one of your videos it's full of beauty and such good vibes. Your guitar ability is so incredible and inspiring. I can only imagine the countless hours that have gone into what you can now do on that instrument for the enjoyment of all of us watching.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us. It's morning time here in Brazil and now I feel ready to face the day.
Corey, I almost forgot how much I love watching your fingers dance on the fretboard 💜
I’m pretty stoked to find you again. Thank you for sharing your hard work, I can’t imagine the blood, sweat, tears and blisters you’ve experienced throughout the years of learning this craft to be able to do what you do.
the only thing missing from this masterpiece is the "see if you can spot this one"
He did it again!
True pro!! How much practice?? TONS, Tons!!!
He’s is truly gifted!!!
waw increíble
Strong and clear, wonderful!
Simply beautiful
Wow!
Precioso
That lil lick at the very end was so good wtf

Wow. This was my mom’s favorite song. I only wish she was still alive to hear this, she died of brain cancer. She would have loved it. I know I do. I’ll listen and think of her. Beautiful. Thank you. 💜

I do not comment videos on UA-cam very often, but man, I have to say you're pretty talented and is very pleasant to see this covers!💪🏾
That is incredible, so hard to play let alone sing while playing all those chord changes and fills so smoothly.
This is nuts mate. Well played

Great version of this Clapton classic, Corey. Thanks for sharing.
