God doesn't need to know what time it is.
Value of anything is a most fascinating subject to me.
Eric Clapton hasn't owned this Rolex Daytona for nearly 20 years. It 's probably been in storage since he dumped it and is expected to fetch north of $1.6M?
For that much I'd want his playing ability AND his stereo system.

@tylermunns You either don’t understand my question or don’t have an answer for it that you want to share. Either way, I think we’ve said all we need to say.

@tylermunns You forgot to answer this part of my questions:
Clapton has been a respected guitarist among the best of the Blues and Rock guitar playing community for decades. It is the nobodies who have never played with anyone except their highschool buddies that tend to criticize his playing. What has that got to do with McDonalds? Also, I forgot to mention Jimi Hendrix as one of the people who enjoyed jamming with Clapton. I could add a lot more guitarists to that list, but you get the idea. |
I wish I had a dollar for every bar band or mom’s basement guitarist who thinks he can play better than Clapton. I would be a rich man. @tylermunns How much do you make a show and how far up the charts did your best album go? Has your band ever been invited by one of the blues greats to open for him or has one of the blues greats ever opened for you? Does or did Buddy Guy, B.B. King or Muddy Waters enjoy jamming with you? How many blues festivals do you play a year? |
@tablejockey I know that Ralph wasn't playing the guitar. I was just referring to the character he played in the movie. Ralph did do a good job considering the short time he had to learn the air guitar parts for the movie. Your link to Arlen Roth's website was very interesting. I've got a cd or two of his around here somewhere and I actually saw Son Thomas play at The Tucson Blues Festival some years ago. He was great. The power, not volume, power, coming off that stage produced by one man with an acoustic guitar was incredible. |
You’re right that Ry played on the soundtrack, but IIRC, Ralph dug back into his classical guitar training to come up with something the Devil’s guy couldn’t best. Clapton critics should remember that there are classical guitarists who can play rings around their guitar heroes. It’s all a matter of taste and Clapton plays with taste, IMHO. |
+1 stuartk, Rodney’s been doing his best work the last 20 years. My favorites are: The Houston Kid Fate’s Right Hand Close Ties Acoustic Classics Triage Willie’s "The Willie Nelson Family" is very good if you enjoy country gospel. It's not Willie & Family, it's his kids and Sister Bobbie, RIP. |
