The Best Rock Guitarists Who Ever Lived

Eric Clapton

Eric Clapton is the man who needs no introduction. He has a longer resume than most, playing in The Yardbirds, Cream, Derek and the Dominos, and his own self titled band. He is a three-time inductee to the rock and roll hall of fame. His training was in blues guitar, but he’s performed a multitude of different styles. “Layla” and Robert Johnson’s “Crossroads” are considered some of his most impactful works.
