Eric Clapton; Cream, Derek and the Dominoes, solo
“He's a great blues guitarist, it's a shame he has a soft spot for ballads.”
“the softest felling guitar”
“disappointing.. top 3 for sure.”
“probably one of the greatest guitarists. he felt what he played. should be at least number 2 or 3”
“Clapton is a superb guitarist. It's surprising he failed to make the top 10.”
“This guy is great influence to the trio bands, like in cream, and thats the band I'm in at the moment. I'm into the three pronged band attack thing. Pity this guy is into ballads and stuff.”
“defenatly top 4
just listen to his cocain solo
its feel flow and groove
”
“this is straight bull****.eric clapton is the inventor of the rock/blues fusion.this man could shred the **** out of prince,slash,even buckethead,and all the other guys up there besides hendrix and page.to everybody else who has commented,solos do nothing for great guitarists,it's about the soul and the feeling.”
“the best. ever. fact.”
“top three for sure, look at cream, listen to layla, prince comes nowhere close”
“Eric Clapton is a GREAT GUITARIST YO”
“the greatest of all time. i give 5 Ms and a recomondation for ANYONE of his albums!”
“You got to be kidding me. His diffrent styles alone set him apart from other greats. I am disappointed”
“I consider him #2 under Joe, but he is still an amazing player. I like COCAINE the most out of his songs.”
“he can play challenging complex songs with an amazing tone and make them into the sweestest sound in the world”
“Get these other posers out of here - Clapton is God.”
“apparently these people never saw the guitar showdown with clapton, slash,may and others where slash and clapton were the final two left and after clapton wailed away after a dualing banjo type back and forth slash laid his guitar on the stage and bowed to clapton”
“come on, prince second and clapton this far behind... obiously people dont know their guitarists very well. clapton was great one of the guitar gods/legends with hendrix and kieth richards”
“a talent from heaven, he hears the angels in his music”
“eric clspton is the best,
he can play anythting and should be numero uno”
“clapton was, and is the 2nd or 3rd best guitarist ever. hes up there with legends like Hendrix, Page, Richards and few others. cream were great i love the song sunshine of your love, not even Hendrix could do that song as well as clapton does”
“next best to jimi”
“deserves to be in the top 5
”
“He is an amazing blues guitarist,but lets not forget Layla! And lets not forget that Eric has been great and working for decades!”
“No question - Clapton is THE best of all time. See him in concert once and you'll know why.”
“he's not first but he certainly isn't tenth!”
“Before forming Cream, he was with The Yardbirds (pre-Led Zeppelin); and then the John Mayall Band. Think he's more known as a song-writer than a guitarist (but that is my biased opinion).”
“Having Clapton rated at no. 10 is an insult to guitar enthusiasts. He should be at the top of the list or at least second to Jimi Hendrix.”
“He is the clearest guitarist in the world and is probably one of the best song writers in the world and don't forget he sings as well!!!!!!!”
“how is eric clapton not in the top 5”
“thank goodness eric made the top ten!!”
“Hendrix body of work amounts to only about 4 or 5 years. Clapton has been THE best guitarist for over 40 years. Hands down, Clapton is number one. Not even close!”
“ERIC IS NO DOUBT NUMBER 2 RIGHT BEHIND HENDRIX!!”
“Easily number one...
”
“he is the greatest ever”
“I shouldn't be possible for anyone past the 70's to surpass guitarists who rose during the 60's, but apparently, Clapton made the bottom of the Top Ten list. Single handedly mastering every genre from the Blues to Pop, Clapton is a beautiful songwriter and an amazing guitarist. Top 5 material along with Hedrix, Beck, Page, and Richards.”
“sunshine of your love, crossroads, etc”
“he should be top three. its hendrix, clapton and paige. It's not that jimmy played fast, but everyone knows the riffs he created
”
“I can't believe this. He should be in the top 3!”
“you all are retards, of course clapton should be in the top ten. And who's the idiot who put prince on this list. # 6 8 9 shouldn't be on there.”
“I agree with the comment below... Clapton should have definitely been in the top 5. Considering some of the stuff he experienced in his life I don't blame him for writing ballads. Its better than having him o. d. on drugs like many of the other musicians of his era. He is a man of great talent and could hold up to any of the above artists!”
“There is a reason he is called god!”
“why in the hell is he not in the top 5!?!
To hell with buckethead, slash and? synyster gates? People are braindead when it comes to music these days.”
“His songs are incredible along with the style and way he writes his guitar parts.”
“best ever, he can play any type of music”
“he plays not one, but 2 genres: blues and rock, he should be behind jimi hendrix, even though I admire slash's skill, no one can beat clapton's style, except hendrix”
“why isn't he in the top 5 he better than slash”
“Greatest guitarist along with Jimi Hendrix.”
“so much better then slash and half of the other people on the list. Jimmy Page and hndrix is better ut come on not in the top ten? BS one of the greatest guitarist ever”
“White room - best song ever made”
“So the man who has been inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame 4 different times is behind that little wanker Synyster Gates? This list sucks.”
“hah..wow clapton is wayyyy better than slash. this list is a joke.”
“Why is Eric only 16? He's an inventer!”
“This list is kind of a joke. I mean come on how can Dimebag Darryl, Slash, Prince, and Richie Sambora be ahead of guys like Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck is crazy.”
“Nearly every guitarist rated above Clapton owes him a debt for innovation and inspiration. He's the master.”
“For my money, Eric Clapton is the best guitarist who ever lived.”
“Clapton should be in the top 6 best guitarists of all time. He is one of the guitar geniuses, up there with Hendrix, Kath, Page, Lukather and Santana.
Derek”
“Clapton should be in the top 10 no question...”
“WTF how is Clapton not top 5? Remember "Clapton is God"
”
“This is ridiculous he is'nt at least top 5. Clapton is amazing and there has never been a greater guitar player.”
