Lol people are actually bashing on Clapton? Shall I remind you that this is the dude who stole G. Harrison's wife? And yes, he is no Robert Johnson, but nobody is, just another brain and a different set of fingers, and in a form as personal as the blues, and an instrument as personal as an acoustic guitar, it shows. Clapton is freakin colossal, in fact, if it wasnt for him you prolly wouldnt know about Johnson at all.This is kinda like a docu on RL Burnside "in his natural habitat" I saw, all comment section was fuelled with hate towards the white dude that made the docu and tried to pick up some of the stuff Burnside plays. The dude deserves a medal for having such a passion for the music.And the same with CLapton... only x100000. The only truth to this "white man cant play the blues" thing is, black people from the south talk in a particular accent, so the phrasing and the general sound of the letters when pronounced are specific, and they always sound "thick" even when the notes are high. I heard some bluesman say "White man can play the blues, but he cant sing it", there is truth there. I'm not a native speaker, and certainly not American, but Ive listened to shittons of black music and I play and sing myself so... Maybe its abit easier for me to not sound like a smallish slender English dude.Another thing is, the time. Oftenly, old blues players change chords when they feel like it, to suit a certain phrase they said (John Lennon did the same), or simply drag on for 2 bars, so they can clear their head and focus on whats coming next. At least I think so. White people dont do this much, it seems to me they have this 12-bar and 12-bar only encoded in their brain. Let it loose, slow it down abit, speed it up, let it drag... you dont have a band so you are free to do whatever.Watch (and listen) David Coverdale Unplugged in Tokyo and compare him to Lightning Hopkins (because they use similar ornaments). He doesnt seem weak at all. Ofc Coverdale is a BIG piece of hair metal shithead sellout but thats another matter...Depends on how much of a "purist" you are. In the end, its a tough thing to play the blues, its so basic, so simple, so easy to make it sound dull and boring. So first thing is, you need to be a one man band. That means keeping a bassline with your thumb and at least some strumming\melody with your other finger\s. Id left the guitar and had quit for almost 2 years but a year ago I got another (in better shape), so I started from Dylan's Corrina Corrina. In E. Just hitting the low E then the high E to make a rhythm pattern. Then I switched to A and slided it to B. I was like "DUUUUUUDE, so thats what it is" Its all very natural once it comes to you. I learned sooooo many new chords, so much moving around the neck, can do a smooth Smokestack, and somehow when I try some lead I mostly succeed no matter what the key I honestly dont know how dafuq that happens - I have close to none musical knowledge and no training whatsoever. And I'm coming up with my own ideas, its funny how when so much shit is stacked it gets recycled, then you need a catalist - something, someone - and then smth new comes out. I never imagined I can actually come up with smth that sounds good. I dislike picks I love picking with fingers. And did I mention you sing simultaneously while playing. Its not easy believe me. But then the moment comes and the blues hit you and you make that ole guitar cry like a schoolgirl.Couse the blues is not in the music. The blues is that funny feeling, that something isnt right, something doesnt add up, why is the world this way, why have people become so mean, why is my girl a ho, why are we so poor? Couse deep down inside of everyone there exists this enourmous open wound and some of us maybe... just maybe... can bleed some of it through our fingers.Sorry for the long comment but I hope that cleared some misunderstandings couse I cringe when I read some of the BS. Anyone who bashes white people who play the blues doesnt have a clue - ITS NOT THAT I WANT TO, ITS A NEED. Its a habit but not like a drug. Its there. It wont go away. And it takes its toll on your psyche. It really does. Thats where all the "sold my soul to the Devil" talk comes from. This is the part where you really get the blues. It's not healthy, no. It feels like crap. It feels like crap but its there. SO dont fuk with it.

"finding the notes of Robert Johnson" is something advanced guitarists do for themselves. Some few can do that, even fewer (sorry King James) can find the vocalizations at the same time. EC has never needed RJ songs to fill stadiums, so I don't get the criticisms? The problem is the same Robert probably experienced, people get mad at talent when it comes from someone of a different color.

Watching that right hand, who does he remind you of most? For me it is Lightnin' Hopkins.
