    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!

      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.

    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

    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.

    • @gowwar491

      @@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.
