Eric Clapton is the only guitarist that never plays any "useless" note to "show off" like most of guitarists do. Every note he plays has a feeling and it's so clean. He doesnt do those cliche licks 99% of the guitarists do . You can't predict what he's gonna play next!
I think he played the wrong note on the starting bend of the crossroads 2010 I shot the sheriff solo, but he still managed to pull out a great one. He is still god!
your comment was inspirational it pulled out of the piss and crap I was in I just needed one more little tug one little pull and pop like the cork or top of a champagne bottle I have tears in my eyes replying to your comment and Clapton solo the words are true it ok it all worked out I'm free and yes wow 👌 thank you for your comment to this video..Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico USA 🇺🇸 😊
Clapton, Gilmour, SRV… gosh. Too many Legends! This is one of my favorite solos ever. Glad to know you're from Brazil, mate. Glad to know that some people have a very nice musical taste.
For his work and age I could say, for sure, one of the most hard work man in business. He is virtuoso, and old wine quality aging superstar, and also very humble - in many occasions he honor SRV, and that tells he is realy in love in music, in guitar. He enjoys playing, he is doing for joy, for art, he is not hostage of vanity. Great man, great player, simple as that.
not a patch on 2004 crossroads festival, which I regard as the zenith (not just for Clapton, but for everyone) But a mighty fine showing from my favourite guitarists.
Abe Laboriel Jr. on drums. I saw him with Clapton and Winwood in 2009 and even then I thought he was fantastic. The way he builds behind Clapton here complements Clapton's own architectural style perfectly.
Clapton loves Japan and Japan loves Eric. He has been there many times. There are people in high places in their government that get Clapton to play, they have given him awards and treat him like a King, and his family as well.
Not even close. IMO the best version of this song is the 2004 crossroads guitar festival right down to the solo. Clapton was channeling some serious long lost friends on that one! 😉👌👍
So true Clapton is the instrument that makes that chunk of wood sing all he has to do is pick up the guitar and what he hears in his being his voice comes out threw amplification of his amp and guitar if the amp and guitar are on the stage on there stand or what ever place of set up , will just stay there not making or producing any sound just there but it's Clapton as soon as he straps on and turns on those macanical switches he does what he does best with the amp and guitar is virtuoso at it finest..Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico USA 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 ..

And also David Gilmour and Buddy Guy... these two and Clapton are fantastic.
Example of the licks you speak of? Or useless notes that show off?
WHAT! He used to be like that but WAY OVERPLAYS in his old age.
He got taste.
Right on
A true genuine musician no ear or nose S%#$, no tattoos and no ridicules outfits just pure brilliant performance from the best guitar player ever.
Usually those things are proof of lack of talent to bring more attention, true legends dont need this
@@yazidknopfler8640Such a great comment👍
piercings, tattoos, and flashy outfits don't take away from the genius of an artist or a guitar player.
I've listened to Clapton live, I've seen Clapton live...he NEVER plays a wrong note. His improv is cleaner than most guitarist's studio recordings.
That's it is. This like studio recordings.
I’m sure some of it is made up by I bet the chunk of this solo is well rehearsed.
I think he played the wrong note on the starting bend of the crossroads 2010 I shot the sheriff solo, but he still managed to pull out a great one. He is still god!
Indeed never theres solo like what he did...
@@joaco190 Eric Clapton is best guitariste in the world we love him so much but he isn't a "god"
Talk about therapeutic. This music makes everything feel like it's going to be ok. And it will. WOW. The performance is heavenly.
Right. What a well-organized solo.
Damn, guy from the past, you are sooo right. Especially now.
@@romanoid Thanks man.💪🏾
So true man, chills every time I listem to this masterpiece

Holy ****! Unbelievable JAM! PERFECTLY EXECUTED! I didn't know Mr Clapton could carry a tune like this. My God that was Great!!
i swear his guitar just sings... and i can not believe how crisp every note is. It's unreal!!!
this may the best guitar solo ever recorded…EC is amazing
Thank you! I agree.
You should listen to the recorded jam sessions between him and duane allman in 1970. They're amazing as well
I prefer the solo on the 2010 crossroads version of i shot the sheriff...fire
Check out Still got the blues solo by Gary Moore
It's not even the best one of this tour, try looking up Saitama 2009 (22nd Feb)
Saw slow hand last September in Nashville. He still has it. Been listening since the 70's. He can keep a solo going forever.......
one of the best thing i have ever seen in my life
Absolutely
Questo assolo é una cosa inspiegabile e la sensazione che mi trasmette è paradisiaca ....l'avrò guardato milioni di volte!!!
One of the best solos I've ever heard in my life, thanks for the video! Regards from Brazil 🇧🇷
Vitor Lange
, if you think this is good then you should listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan, not even close!
Clapton, Gilmour, SRV… gosh. Too many Legends! This is one of my favorite solos ever. Glad to know you're from Brazil, mate. Glad to know that some people have a very nice musical taste.
This is simply amazing stuff you do! I love te remixes. Some tracks really benefit from the live feel. Keep up this awesome work.

the 2004 crossroads solo is my favourite Clapton solo
nah the 2010 one
Absolutely superb. Magical guitar solo. CLAPTON IS GOD!!!!!!!
he is!
That’s a beautiful strat
Dude you haven't heard Crossroads 2004 version as far as I can see. Go check it out, a true masterpiece
I agree but this one is so different ! Really calm and smooth :P
Colonel Kurtz the ARH reunion of cream?
this one is smoother while the crossroads 2004 one is wilder lol
I also like the crossroads 2010 version
JV Pascual check his version from the msg in 2004 it's incredible
@@slowhand8301 can you send the link to it?
This is one of the best performances ever．
The Man that made me to Pick up the Guitar and Mayer made me carry it all the way to this day.
I just don't UNDERSTAND how he able to DO that. It sounds like no one else, but it is still 'just' a guitar.
My guitar gently weeps better displays "sounds like no one else" or a lot of songs when Clapton was with Cream.
Dùbhghlas MacDùbhghlas Thanks. I will look those up.
I love Clapton.
Yes right
Clapton always seems to reinvent his songs every live set, to make them sound new. He's amazingly creative.
Regarding EC,
Any solo, any strum, any riff, any hum, Any pick, trick or line,
Sends shivers down the spine.
Hello alltogether.I have no any questions. Greatful Eric.
Clapton is a Wizard on the Guitar! That shiit is magical. Such passion and emotion emitting from those notes!
not a patch on 2004 crossroads festival, which I regard as the zenith (not just for Clapton, but for everyone) But a mighty fine showing from my favourite guitarists.
Crossroads 2004 and also Clapton at RAH 2015
There is no word to express that. So good.
+Nguyen Dennis I agree. I recommend to watch the full set of this day.
@@motorsay Is the set online or it has to be purchased?
2:46 - 2:56 you can actually hear his soul come out of that guitar - wow
Looks so simple in comparison to the new guitar heroes but so great expression of soul !!!! An incredible sound ! That's what I love !!!
the best guitar solo i've ever heard, and trust me, i listened to a lot of masterpieces
try Clapton Crossroads Festival 2004 I Shot the Sheriff........imho even better.....but this is brilliant also
@@chanang453hyden live I shot the sheriff too this music has the best guitars accords
Abe Laboriel Jr. on drums. I saw him with Clapton and Winwood in 2009 and even then I thought he was fantastic. The way he builds behind Clapton here complements Clapton's own architectural style perfectly.
This guy is fantastic.
Really a very good version of the "Sheriff" - solo. It remembers me in parts to the legendary soli of Crossroads in California 68.
Clapton got better with age so did his tone hes clearly better here than in the 1960s can the same be said about jimmy page hardly
I agree that Clapton really gave the music unblievable soul, you can't help but get lost listening to it !!!
Page is not in the same Stratosphere as Clapton.
Eric is simply god, there is no explanation on the face of the earth to describe this man
Jimmy page is his prime is untouchable nevertheless.
Eric Clapton is one of the best. Love you
Magic performance. Thank you Mr Torsay. And very well done the band.
Nice video. Thanks Mo.
Drummer is impressive
indeed
Wow! So melodic and you can feel every note!
Just gave me goosebumps listening and watching this for the first time. Props to the guy on drums, he and Clapton fucking kill it at the end!
Abe Laboriel. Usually plays with McCartney
It's a privilege to listen to this guy... when this guy passes away he'll be missed for sure. Oh I wish I had seen him live...
Hes on tour now
@@godsmixtape8371too bad Brazil’s not included in his tour
I love the way he uses the volume knob to play with dynamics : D
Clapton loves Japan and Japan loves Eric. He has been there many times. There are people in high places in their government that get Clapton to play, they have given him awards and treat him like a King, and his family as well.
Still the best in 2023! 🎸
He made this solo like his guitar's color.
can´t help it. Keep coming back to this ultimate musicianship of Mr Clapton, or God as someone used to call him;) not without understandable reason:)
for some reason this is my personal favorite solo of his for this song!
Makes me cry this sólo 🤩
The kit is mixed beautifully on this
I agree with you
This is best
And 2009/5/23 ver. also good
pppparaiso Thank you.
So good, so god!!!
This drummer is amazing 💪💪
Thanks for this prodigious moment
coolest grandpa on guitar.
j aime grand gitariste
guitariste cool
Amazing version
A solo that talks by itself!
Good evening everybody.. mister fuckin Eric Clapton
I saw him in Berlin in 91. This was his most memorable solo.
so great make my tear drop
Not even close. IMO the best version of this song is the 2004 crossroads guitar festival right down to the solo. Clapton was channeling some serious long lost friends on that one! 😉👌👍
Clapton is the best guitar master for all the times. I will never be tired and never give up to listen his playing.
To the most illustrious Mr. Clapton to call him God is little ... Mother of beautiful love ...
Love how Eric builds the trnsiom his solos
Touch, feel and emotion is what sets him apart from other guitarists.
O my god after twelve years still get the buzz
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G...I shot the Sheriff is great BUT THIS, well there R NO WORDS !!!!!!!
Wooow one of the best solos I've ever heard! The sound of that strat is fKing perfect!!!
They say the soul weighs 21 grams.. if that's the case..
Clapton's soul weighs 42.
I prefer the 2004 Crossroads version, but this one is quite nice too.
Much respect sir
One that happened 3 days before (22nd feb, 2009) in Saitama is even better, look it up. :))
Clapton is a genius.
Not a single bum note. Give it up to the legend 🙌
Living Legend!
a fairy tale in music. Sumptuous!
Eric Clapton is GOD. Period.
period?
Thank you.
No, he's not.
He's not God but he is a helluva guitar player.
Lmao he said jimi and stevie were both better than him
Its so sad that talent, real talent, like this does not exist in this new generation!!
ok boomer
errrr john mayer hahahah
Yeah everything sounds so technical
Génial ce Génie Merci Éric
he doesn't learn to play the guitar, he's learning the guitar how to play!
Right. What is the need of music related knowledge
So true Clapton is the instrument that makes that chunk of wood sing all he has to do is pick up the guitar and what he hears in his being his voice comes out threw amplification of his amp and guitar if the amp and guitar are on the stage on there stand or what ever place of set up , will just stay there not making or producing any sound just there but it's Clapton as soon as he straps on and turns on those macanical switches he does what he does best with the amp and guitar is virtuoso at it finest..Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico USA 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 ..

98 years old and still can out riff everyone!!
Très dur à effectuer, mais avec 45 ans de grat, une possible approche du genie
One word: Wow...
Beautiful, only God could do that
love how the video actually +db and over driving Eric's Guitar playing LOL
No se puede hacer mejor.Deja sin aliento
I was getting pretty bored but then Clappers unexpectedly went mental and I nearly had an emotional breakdown. There are tears in my eyes.
C'è chi suona la chitarra, e chi ne fa magia l'unico è solo ERIC CLAPTON....
3:07 hufff Eric me eriza la piel escucharte tocar eres un viejo loco 😎😎😎
E uno dei grandi con la 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
The tone.
Utilising the noiseless pickups and mid boost system. I have the same guitar but it didn't sound like that 😏
Bro its so FAT down low. when he first goes to the low E and A I was like holy shit
Clapton Is God
Killing me softly...
And the audience is going nuts!
How do you top this you will never
You can listen to any solo you want, but listening to Eric Clapton in this case is like watching a master architect design a house
this makes me want to watch a master architect design a house for some reason lol
pure inspiration from deep with in.

哀愁漂う大人の色気_。It was nice to meet you! (’-’*)♪
That strat is an unusual color for him.
Almost cried
