Our love will rule in this kingdom we have made.

Eric Clapton

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.
ERIC CLAPTON

Bad Certain Myself Right Run
My original interests and intentions in guitar playing were primarily created on quality of tone, for instance, the way the instrument could be made to echo or simulate the human voice.

When I’m wrong it’s never meant for you, so don’t confuse my love with what I do.
ERIC CLAPTON

Confusion Love Myself Wrong
Oh yeah, I mean, it wasn’t a very good guitar, most good guitars have got thrust rods in the necks that you can adjust or that’ll keep them in shape, you know keep them straight. This one just, well it turned into a bow and arrow after a couple of months.

A British pressing with a compilation of the best stuff really, I mean actually not only that but, these were all kind of semi hits for the people on it in America.
ERIC CLAPTON

Best Hit Kind Myself People
I remember hearing Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Big Bill Broonzy, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley and not really knowing anything about the geography or the culture of the music. But for some reason it did something to me – it resonated.

Music became a healer for me. And I learned to listen with all my being. I found that it could wipe away all fear and confusion.

I feel wonderful because I see the love light in your eyes, and the wonder of it all is you just don’t realize how much I love you.

I always respected that B.B. sees music in a very open, free way.

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.

But the guitar, when you think about it, is the most versatile, really. I mean you can pick it up and take it with you wherever you go.
ERIC CLAPTON

Guitar Thinking Versatile Yourself
I’m not a big fan of lead vocalists, people who sing but don’t play. I never wanted to be in a band where the guy who was up front just sang. I’ve always thought it better when one of the musicians sings, like Steve Winwood.

One of the most beneficial things I’ve ever learned is how to keep my mouth shut.
