Well, prepare to be amazed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DWqyYW8tOg [5 minutes] By the way, Clapton is strictly the vocalist on this; all the guitar playing is by Jeff Beck, who died a little over a year ago. Beck was the absolute MASTER of the guitar and he really shows it on this recording. Of course, if you don't play guitar yourself, a lot of the technique will be lost on you but you can't still enjoy the dynamics and Beck's tastefulness and control. -- Rhino
