Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on three separate occasions, Eric Clapton is not only one of the most prolific guitarists in rock history but also one of the best. His love of the blues masters helped craft his early sound with bands like The Yardbirds, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, and Derek and the Dominos, before launching a solo career in 1970. “Slowhand,” as he was nicknamed, spent the following decades using his smooth playing style to create a timeless albums on his own, like the acclaimed 601 Ocean Boulevard and From the Cradle.
