“I must have had a desire to be a guitar hero. You must have ambition to achieve anything. You want what you do to be liked. If they didn’t dig it, I’d be at home sweeping the roads. I’m only able to carry on because people like it.”

Robin Trower, 1986

“I was a huge Clapton fan. The fire and the aggression of his playing; the sheer beauty of the sound.”

Brian May, 1983

“I was just awed by Clapton’s tone. I was really young, but the first time I heard it was when Cream first came out, but then I went back and heard Bluesbreakers. I just freaked out. Some of it was the equipment, but really more than that, I think it was his intent when he was playing. And he was pushing that out of his guitar, and it didn’t really matter what he used. That was his sound. The sound was so amazing. God! And then Fresh Cream and his tone was like … that was enough sound to last a lifetime for me. And it’s not that there couldn’t be other sounds, and people would go on and do this and that. It’s like other people would hear Charlie Parker and go, ‘That’s it, that’s enough tone for my lifetime.’ And that’s kind of the way it was with Clapton’s tone. It was kind of like that natural EQ tone that you’d find on an old violin.”

Eric Johnson, 2004

“I’ve always admired Eric’s playing, going all the way back to when I was a little kid; Cream and all that stuff. I was always aware of Eric’s place in the pantheon of great musicians.”
