Guitarist and singer Eric Clapton is considered by many to be one of the greatest guitar players of all time. Formerly a member of both Cream and Derek & The Dominos, as well as The Yardbirds, Clapton has also led a highly successful solo career.
He’s ranked second on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.” Likewise, Time ranked him fifth on a similar list. He’s been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times – once for his work as a solo artist, once as a member of Cream, and once as a member of The Yardbirds. Clapton has also won 18 Grammys and a wide array of other awards.
