Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac also plays using the same basic hand style as Robert Johnson also. And Keith Richards is highly influenced by Johnson as well. But no one covers his music any better on guitar and vocals than Clapton does. Clapton once stated that "he practiced for a week in preparation for covering just two songs by Johnson". |

I've seen bands play in bars and when a guitar player does something as simple a bend a note and the bar goes crazy but if the guitarist does something complicated - no response. Technical ability and what sounds cool aren't always mutually inclusive so the fans reaction doesn't mean much as a gauge for how great he is as a guitar player other than they like him (in this case) when a fan shouted that about Clapton, he could had been on acid and tripping on Clapton's painted guitar when he yelled that - who knows. He was just searching for a superlative to describe his affinity for EC playing - it was only a opinion, not necessarily a dogmatic epithet.

You kinda lost me with all the "psychedelic" (stuff). But for "Reals", he is just a guitar player/artist only. Not God. |

I thought it was becoming generally accepted lately that Michael Jackson couldn't sing.
