Eric Clapton
| Eric Patrick Clapton (born March 30, 1945 in
Surrey, England) is an English blues-rock guitarist and singer. He is a
multiple Grammy-winner, and made it three times in the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame. Clapton influenced the development of the Blues Rock in the 1960s
and is considered one of the most important guitarists in the world. On
the list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time in the American music
magazine Rolling Stone, Clapton is on rank 4. Clapton's musical roots lie in the blues of the 1930s and 1940s. His role models were particularly Robert Johnson and Chuck Berry. But also Muddy Waters as well as, BB King, Albert King, Freddie King and Otis Rush. Although Clapton is able to play fast tempo (such as in the live version of the song "Crossroads" from the album Wheels of Fire, 1968), he is not primarily known for it. The value of Clapton's playing is especially in his ability to improvise solos with coherent musical architecture (building tension, climax and resolution). His vibrato and his combinations of bends, hammer-ons and pull-offs have a high ID value and are most technically demanding. By Melanie Bradley |
