Although I'm not too familiar with Gill's own material, he has always impressed me with his live performances. He totally nailed the Beach Boys "The Warmth of the Sun" at Brian Wilson's tribute concert, was handpicked by Clapton to perform at several of his Crossroads concerts and he totally saved the Eagles from potential disaster by joining the group after Glenn Frey's passing. Highly underrated performer.
Instead of putting Vince down because he doesn't know the song - which he obviously learns by the end of the three minutes, pro that he is - let's give Slowhand credit for putting an otherwise ordinary series of chords together into a truly unique and now classic blues number. There may be younger faster guitarists - but there's no one alive today who's better at writing, singing, and playing the guitar - especially the blues.
La edad que tiene ese fenómeno y como si fuera ayer que grande eres Clapton y por ahí salen unos pajarracos y que son los más grandes de toda la época bueno esos tienen que ponerse de rodillas y pedir perdón a esa generación y no tienen pista y como cantan y tocan
Yea, this reminds me when Eric & I used to jam. I was the one who first showed him how to play an E chord. We both had these Sears amps which were the bomb back then in the 60's. There was this young black guy there too at this one jam and when he couldn't get his E chord right, he put lighter fluid on his guitar and lit it on fire. Then he turned it all the way up and did his whammy bar. Luckily he wasn't plugged into my Sears Amp. Man, that was sumpthin else.
The one on the right is a Fender 57 twin re-issue customized to Eric's spec. You can buy this exact replica including the customization by purchasing the EC Twinolux. A great amp. I have one. The other amp looks like a Fender Blue's Junior or a Fender Champ customized for acoustic.
I must say, I expected more from this. Plus: This tune is older than Clapton, and he has managed to make it his own (since the "Derek and the Dominoes" LP), no small feat, all props. Plus: Gill gets 8 bars of solo, and it's sublime, and impressive but not surprising... He grew up listening to Clapton, so he knows who he's in front of, and he takes a better solo, technically, than EC could. Plus: EC is playing without a pick, and I don't know that I've ever seen that before. Plus: The audience claps on '2' and '4,' so they're swingin' whether they know it or not. Minus: It should have been just the two of them, just Clapton and Gill, and they should have goosed each other into a Nirvanic Coma... ...but they didn't. (Still cool to have them both on the same stage.)
tuxguys EC plays without a pick most of the he plays acoustic. Yes truly not his strength. When EC plays this electric he rips it up and has a nice solo. Can’t say I have ever been impressed with VG playing I think of him more of a vocalist.
Darkwell0071 l That’s sortof funny. He’s a good vocalist but he’s a much better player, taught by the best, and has been on probably 1000+ released singles as a player. I
@@Silverback303 help somebody....I AM interested un buying either ThE normal 000....or ThE EC....And My question IS: IS It worth difference ThE EC signature? Or IS It ThE same guitar?
Pablo Pérez i have the Ec model and i love it, it’s perfection but with the new 2018 reimagined 000 28 they are almost the same guitar. You can buy the regular 000 and put a decent pickup (like lr baggs element or anthem) in it. You will love it.
Apparently Gill had no idea what they were gonna play when he sat down. He didnt even know the chords, you can see him looking at Claptons hands to figure the progression out. Then he gets the hang of it and throws in the solo. Call it improvisation.
First time I travelled to America I met a guy in a bar who reckoned that Clapton was a great guitarist but couldn't sing. Several hours and a lot of drinks later we were best of friends but still couldn't agree on that! I think he's one of the absolute best!
@@sugarlife485 you are really proud about knowing something that only a few don’t know. Get off your high horse, you’re already looking like the rear end.
EC’s signature is a Martin 000-28 (which he looks to be playing). Vince Gill is a big Martin fan as well, and his looks like a 000-18 or -28 as well (can’t tell which wood, which would determine the model, in part).
@@sugarlife485 I count 9 different chords the way I play it. Are you playing only half the song. LOL: 1st 4 bars: C, E A7 ... Dm A7, Dm ... F, B7, C, A7 ... D7, G, G7
Hey Jessi your post is really stupid and misspelled. The word is train not trane. Eric apparently doesn't feel Vince is out of place playing with him as there are several videos of the two of them together.
although I think eric is the greatest guitarist to ever live … I believe vince could've held his own...and eric gave him every chance ...I think vince became overwhelmed by his worship . he's to talented for that ./ just my opinion .
Poor Vince went out and thought they'd do some popular "3 chords and a sad story" tune but Eric decides to play "Nobody" which has 5 -6 chord changes that Vince is unfamiliar with. Not a cool move by Eric.
Eric was a legend at age 19 and an idol at 20 yrs. At 22 he was annointed "god" after the "Beano" album and the first Cream LP. Vince was making pizzas in Oklahoma at the same juncture of his career. Fortunately he studied the masters of the guitar. EC was probably the first.
Vince Gill in concert is a total high, this man is right up there with the very best..! You rock VINCE.
Vince Gill has some of the smoothest fingers on a guitar neck...Period!!
Two of the best musicians doin’ their stuff. Priceless!
A couple of old friends who just happen to be two of the very best.
two very humble masters ! No gimmicks , just craftsmanship
Hell Yeah.. legend ft legend.. felt blessed I saw this...
Love when Clapton leans over and asks, "You want to take one?"
Vince is one of those artists who is recognized and apprecited across the board.

Vince Gill, is Awesome he has many many great songs and he smokes those strings
I adore Vince Gill good to hear these 2 greats.
One of the best guitarists of country and one of the best of rock! What could be better? lol
HOW CAN ANY 1 NOT LIKE THIS ????????
The older he gets...the better he plays and sings this tune.

This was a classic 20 years before Eric was born.
I was wondering 💭 too if Mr. Gill knew the tune or did he have to learn it on the spot? If on the spot, he’s incredible…..which we already knew. 🎸
That is the first Clapton cover I ever learned - about 1968.
For god sake Eric, play one that Vince knows to play 🤦♂️😂 Two guys right there who have god-like musical ability.
This is fantastic. Loving Vince Gill And Eric Clapton. This song is just so fitting. Love those blues 💙🤍😍
Two of my favorites.
Rockin with two of the best!!!!
All the critics of this could never perform as well on their best day, with prep. Soloed with Eric spontaneously and nobody else could pull that off.
Two masters…
Love them both. What a cool clip. Thank you.

WOW 2 handsome TALENTED musicians!! #RedheadDeadhead
I'm a huge fan of both Vince would more than give Eric a run for his money as would Albert Lee but Clapton is the man .
I am completely geeking out over this LOL. I am a such a huge fan of both of them!
Thanks for posting 2 of the best in the business
What a way to make a livin !!!
Wow gill blew me away with that sneaky solo fair play for playing a solo next old slow hand himself
Awesome 👌
That was friggin awesome!!!!!!!!
Wow ...both absolutely rock ❤️
Nice... I like this duet

If any lyrics to a song were ever true, this would be the song they would point to.. and blue
Holy cow, i think i just died and went to heaven.
The ubiquitous Steve Gadd on drums!
Down and out
This is where I want to be !
Love!!
This Is Great"
Så otroligt bra.
bertil kress m m
fantastic
Love it!!
mistake to not also have put a mike in front of Vince Gill. He could have put in some really cool harmony.
Vince can Sing or pick with anyone!
What a thrill.
You are one lucky mutha...Great seats and an even better surprise! Thanx for posting.

Its a Martin 0028EC Eric Clapton model. Great guitar!
You know your guitars like I do
Put Vince on the spot. Easy song to solo, but with Clapton next to you, you gotta have game.
Apparently Gill had no idea what they were gonna play when he sat down. He didnt even know the chords, you can see him looking at Claptons hands to figure the progression out. Then he gets the hang of it and throws in the solo. Call it improvisation.
play it out of D-fingering, just once D, Fsharp, B7 , G, Em (7), G, A7 (on 6 fret) run down to B7 on A string, E (7) run to A (7), repeat
Kinda wish the crowd would shut up, so we could hear the artists to their thing...still - appreciate the post.
It's no library
Is it me or has Eric Clapton ever missed a note singing? Good grief he’s one the best singers ever.
First time I travelled to America I met a guy in a bar who reckoned that Clapton was a great guitarist but couldn't sing. Several hours and a lot of drinks later we were best of friends but still couldn't agree on that! I think he's one of the absolute best!
"C" before starting :)
Speak easy . No speaky is allowed.

Steal the Martins!
Awesome video, thanks! :) Does anybody know the model of the guitar that they both seem to be playing?

Sounds like a pub pianist.Noisy audience.
Too bad for the crappy recording
Lets see your concert videos. Where are they?
Vince is actually a better player than Eric
Vince is a way better guitarist than Clapton. No comparison
They are both very good. It's not a competition or comparison. Why make it a competition
