eric claptons playing after cream what do you think of eric claptons playing after cream.
i think it become too generic. when he was in cream he had passion,edge he was furios and scared of jimi hendrix. but i must admit eric clapton in the last few year drasticly improved. he plays great again. and bonus question:what dop you think of cream reunion dvd??? i think its great.the only thing i didnt like is erics guitar sound its too conventional. but i like the show. it shows where jack ginger and eric are now days,they much more then nostalgic act. | |

My boyfriend's a Clapton fanatic, and I only casually listen to his music. Of the albums I know well enough to form an opinion on, I like his playing on Me and Mr. Johnson best of all. But, ya know, the pattern was already laid out for him by then. | |

moderatorPersonally, I prefer his guitar playing during the Bluesbreakers/Cream period.
From Derek & The Dominos forward, he made a sound/playing change and IMO hasn't progressed much (as a player) since. The Cream reunion was a major letdown as i'd seen them just prior to the release of Disreali Gears when Clapton was playing full-tilt. During the reunion, he decides to use the guitar sound he has now...  
...(Fender Strat/little amps), instead of the "Cream Sound" (Gibson SG/Marshall stacks). No wah-wah pedal on White Room? WTF! 
It was like he was just going through the motions. The tunes didn't have nearly the same impact. Was this what you wanted to hear? tA  Tribal Disorder

Derek & the Dominos is my favorite Clapton, with the Beano album a very, very close second. I agree, however, that most of his guitar work post-Cream is uninspired in comparison. I like a lot of it and I don't like a lot of it.
I haven't seen or heard any of the reunion stuff. a psychotic is someone who just figured out what's going on | |

Well, two things. He switched to Strats and he went off into first a JJ Cale "economy" playing style then he went into a Don Williams singing thing. We all know Strats can sing just ask Jimi and Jeff but Eric's playing sounding better with the Gibsons in Cream.
