Risk is trying to control something you are powerless over.

Eric Clapton

ERIC CLAPTON

Desperate Myself Note Planning Work
I used to do crazy things that people would bail me out of, and I’m just grateful that I survived. But the music got very lost; I didn’t know where I was going, and I didn’t really care. I was more into just having a good time, and I think it showed.

I did play a lot of fingerstyle when I first started playing. I could never really find the right combination of flatpick or fingerpick, so playing fingerstyle is really the easiest way – though it’s quite strenuous on the fingertips.

I never set myself too high a goal. It was always tone and feeling, for me.

All I am certain of right now is that I don’t want to go anywhere, and that’s not bad for someone who always used to run.
