[Slowhand] CLAPTON GUEST SPOTS

[Jeff Elliott]

A couple hundred tracks?!!!  Boy is my wife going to be pissed when she sees
my next Amazon bill!!!

Oh, and "very nice" is definitely a compliment.  I think I've played the
track a couple times a day since Sunday!  And I dig the info about Stills
tacking the warm up onto the track.  When Eric hosts another Guitar
Festival, Stephen gets my vote as someone who needs to play.  

But that's another discussion for another post!

Cheers,

Jeff

"Very nice"? One of my favourites. And by the way, Stills says that
was Clapton "warming up" at the start of a rehearsal take - he never
made it back to the studio for a second session, so Stills just tacked
it on to the song.

Someone asked that exactly a year ago on Steve Hoffman's forum, and
one of the responses
(http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showpost.php?p=4122957&postcount=67)
was a wee list of a couple of hundred tracks. It's a good starting
point...

Uh-oh, now you've started something.
