Clapton has achieved guitar God status by some bogus means. I mean the dude is a blues player and not a very good one at that. Most musicians that I admire are those that aspire to advance in their craft. Clapton has chosen, imo, to stay where its safe for him. 5 note scales and 3 chord progressions, mostly. There are untold numbers of players in the blues genre that dwarf Claptard, and Blues is like level 1 playing.
Oh I'm sorry I thought I distinctly remembered you saying Pink Floyd sucked before imo.
Clapton wasn't as good as Hendrix, wasn't as innovative, as exciting, as original, as flashy, but he was and still is a great musician. Cream is some good ****ing **** imo.
Your problem Schlitz is you have this whole "if they don't play X that I like then they're not a real musician" mentality.
They're not a Ynwie Malmsteen clone? They're not a musician.
They don't know when and where to play Mixolydian over a pineapple? They're not a real musician.
It's unbecomming imo.
