Also before Clapton, Frank Zappa recorded with a wah wah pedal. Maybe not before Chet, but he certainly did it before Clapton and Jimi.  Frank used to sit so he could use 2 wahs at the same time My Legacy

Eric Clapton is quite possibly the greatest rock guitarist of all time. ( Behind Hendrix) | |

Good post! Definitely agreee with you, though I've never been totally impressed by Clapton's playing. Cats like Andy Summers and Jeff Beck mop the floor with Eric in my opinion.  | |

I recently saw a concert of his with bb king, robert cray, and others and I though he was good. yeah he gets a bit samey but he gets his blues groove on... mizz guitar  nipsy | |

Each to their own, but while SRV was good technically, to me he is to the blues what the Doobie Brothers or David Bowie are to funk (hell, Bowie and SRV made 'Let's Dance' together, didn't they? A cool track, actually. Wierd co-incidence). Technical proficiency ain't where it's at when it comes to the blues. It's all about the feeling. | |

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 That looks very much like Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top in front of Mr Beck in that pick. He is also one of my favourate blues-rock axemen, and much underrated in these parts, I find. Like Jimi and others, he likes his tech. gizmos, but imo he has the 'feel' too. And he even has a sense of humour in his songs and playing, something you could never accuse Eric Clapton and many others of 
It looks like Jeff and Billy are jammin' together. Might have been some interesting sounds ... Mind you, Billy has his hands in his pockets, so maybe he's just checkin' out Jeff's riff-ola - or 'Beck-ola', even .
I can almost feel a caption coming on ... | |

I can almost feel a caption coming on ... This was taken at the Crossroads Festival during a rehearsal. Beck was supposed to jam with ZZ Top during their closing performance. Billy was reacting to a "vicious lick" Beck spit out while they were "trading fours". Jeff also did a set for the Crossroads gig but was unhappy with his performance and didn't allow it to be included in the DVD. A good friend of mine went to that show and while wandering around the festival grounds, stumbled upon a tent where Beck and Clapton were rehearsing Definitely Maybe
