Clapton live April 24, 2026

Although there are many flashier blues players I think Clapton is a major influence and inspiration for tasteful, accessible blues for all of us intermediate guitar players. Take the solo at 3:10, he’s still pretty smooth.

Looks like he’s still got it. I loved the intro and his voice is still holding up well too.

Or the strength of an Oak with roots deep in the ground.

Yes, the heroes are clearly getting older, but they’ve made music history and they’re still amazing.

Great musician, disgusting human being.

I agree. I think he also fell in love with his best friend George Harrisons wife which prompted him to write Layla. I lost respect for him due to his views during the pandemic. The guy seems to be a louse but he did make some great music and I’m glad to see he still can play and sing.

A lot of ego on display in that video.
I never said that Clapton was my role model as a person.
My love of guitar always stemmed from the sound of the blues and Clapton was always blues biggest promoter and a model for the kind of things I wanted to learn.
