Eric Clapton Biography

Eric Clapton is the most successful guitarist of all time!

As well as being in bands like 'Derek & The Dominos', 'The Yardbirds' and 'Cream', Clapton has successfully played sessions for more stars than any other guitar player ever lived.

His guitar has brought him to studios and stages with legends such as: Bob Dylan, The Beatles, B.B King, SRV, Freddie King and Sheryl Crow who even wrote 'My Favorite Mistake' about Clapton.

Clapton's long career has earned him not one, or two but three inductions into the 'Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame' (As a Solo Artist, with Yardbirds and Cream).

No other musician has achieved this.
