First of all I must say I'm a big fan of the "unplugged" CDs. But Eric Clapton is in my opinion one of the best. Here you can hear ingenious guitar playing and the whole as a live recording without electronic effects. The artist has to show what he really on the ball. Eric Clapton used different guitars for different effects, for example, sometimes with nylon strings, sometimes with metal strings and also for a few pieces of a 12-string guitar. My favorites on the CD are: the only acoustic first title "sing" or "San Francisco Bay Blues". Of course, one must "Layla" remember this unplugged version is simply fantastic. I think this must have CD easily. (This is an Amazon.com at the university-student review.)
