Eric Clapton : The Most Exquisite Rock Legend Ever!

OH Guys ! I really dont have words to describe Mr. Eric Clapton... He has been my greatest inspiration and for the rest of the world too ! A really down to earth , simple person with such an immense understanding and extraordinarily unique and skillful guitar playing and really amazing vocals at the same time !

Well, just see Eric Clapton playing live and you'll feel that you ain't seeing a full-to-attitude Rocker playing, rather you feel an intensely pure performer playing so naturally that he has always brought tears in my eyes, because seeing a great old man playing so wonderfully, I feel I could go up and say : "Sir, Hope You Live Forever" ( same was for another great legend : Michael Jackson)

well... I will definitely not comment on the technical aspects of his songs and riffs, since I dont consider myself big enough to do so ...

But, let me tell you all another tale of his wonderful nature :
His Son 'Conor' Died , having fallen off the 53rd floor of his bedroom window and in memory of him, Mr. Clapton had written his famous song "Tears In Heaven" , which is now one of his best performances till date...

Then, another of his songs I like is "Layla" ... A beautiful riff, A very emotional guitar solo And wonderful vocals : A great song by the greatest artist altogether !

Here is a video of his song "Tears In Heaven" that is my favorite live video . Just feel his emotions while you watch it ... A man crying it out through his guitar and voice ( May his son Rest in Peace...)




Well, another mention to John Mayer, who got what may be the biggest chance of his lifetime to play with sir Eric Clapton at the Crossroads Fest ! Well, definitely he deserved it, but still wish I could be there too ! Here's A Clip Of Both Of Them Together :-







Well, here's another video of 2 Rock Legends : Eric Clapton And Carlos Santana Live Onstage:





Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler Live!




Thats It Guys .... If Mr. Eric Clapton ever reads this post, please accept my heart-felt greetings Sir, for you have always been an idol to me and will remain so in the years to come !!

Unleash The Guitar God Within You-- Part -1

'A Good Guitarist Is Not The One Who Can Play 50 notes in 1 second ..... A Good Guitarist Is That Who Can Play just 5 notes That Sound Magical......'

- BeaRockr.in

Well well ...... Finally All Secrets Are Going To Be Unveiled ..... Read On If You Are A Guitar Player And Dont just know What it The thing not in you as it is in Eric clapton or slash or jimi hendrix and all your Rock Gods ....



Hmm .... To Start With ...... As I Have Experienced .... A Guitar Player Doesnt Need To Have Any Kind Of Degrees In Paper ..... Or Any Advanced Formal Training ....... Your Solos Must Come From Within and reflect what your feelings are ...... They Must Talk To The World And Express Your Emotions ....... Now Of course - Expressing emotions cant be taught , Right!! .....

Two Most Important Pre-Requisits To Be a True Guitar Player :

1) Be Unique , Be Different, Be Innovative
2) Play Your Emotions On The Guitar .... Play From Your Heart ...

Mr. Steve vai ....... the great "Talking guitarist " , as I call him ....... Has Done Some Wonderful Techniques with his tremolo And So To Say ..... I Respect Him For Being Unique .... Yes ...... You Have To Be Different ...... Steve Vai Too Hasnt Done Much Of Any Guitar Training ( except that he has a degree in tremolo picking ) ....


Another Example Would Be Of Slash ( former GnR Guitarist)
He Started Playing On a 1-String Guitar That his aunt Bought Him .... And Now You All Can Imagine How Hard He Must Have Practiced To Be What He Is Now .....



A Guitar Player Doesnt Need To Play All Those Fast Metal Solos And Sweep Picking And All That Stuff ....... Well I Have Never Seen Eric Clapton Play Some Whacky Fast Solos ....... He Is Undoubtedly a Legend with awsome hits like "layla" and "Tears in heaven"..... his Riffs And Solos Are So Touching And Thats What Makes The Difference ....










But Most Important Is To Be Unique ....... Think Different .... And Play Big .......
Jimi Hendrix ..... The All Time Greatest Guitarist In Rock History ....... Actually To Say .... Even Steve Vai Could Match His Techniques Easily And Do A Better Solo Than Him ........ But Guys guys ...... No One Could Match The Originality Of Hendrix .... He Invented His Own Great Riffs And Solos ...... And Was The First One To Revolutionise Guitaring ...... Expressive Guitaring ( so to say)






I'll Write More Of Some Tips But You May Just Go Through Some Of The Above As For Now .......

For Any Queries ...... Your Comments Are Always Respected .....

So ...... Just Unleash The Guitar God Within You !!!
