Guitar
Working today on some of Eric Clapton's music. I was only a casual Clapton fan up to about six months ago, when I bought the Complete Clapton
set. I've been working out of the excellent transcriptions in the accompanying book Complete Clapton (Guitar Recorded Versions)
from Hal Leonard. I've found Hal Leonard's guitar stuff to be of consistently high quality. Unfortunately some of the eighties songs are reprints of transcriptions done back then, and they're not as nice. I guess that comes with the territory when you're dealing with a career retrospective.
I remember seeing published note-for-note Clapton transcriptions quite early in that 'movement,' probably the book (Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3
) that matched the
boxed set
. Incidentally, that boxed set, released in 1990, was one of the first really successful CD boxed sets as I remember.
So work continues on "Badge." I'll keep you posted.

- Orianthi... Just Because That's All.
She may not be vintage (she's only 24 years old) but I must say this gal from Australia is a legitimate Blues guitar monster - and not so bad looking either. Apparently Eric Clapton and Carlos Santana agree. Check her out on YouTube....
- H:oliday Brand Harmony Bobcat And Amp In Arizona For $450
Okay so this is not such a great deal BUT this guy has been posting this sale for over a month so my guesss is you could cut a deal with him. The amp is not worth much but the nice part is it is a complete set of the Guitar, Amp and Original Case. Definitely...
- Clapton-era Yardbirds: The Rough Guide.
Educating myself on Clapton-era Yardbirds today. Join me, won't you? "Boom Boom" by the Yardbirds. A nice document of the band as a cohesive unit. Some of the live clips on YouTube are rather dire. The weak link, to me,...
