Eric Clapton on the song "Tribute To Elmore". Page is on rhythm. It is
the Immediate Label stuff. West Coast Idea is another one.

Clapton in '66-

Bluesbreakers (Beano), Fresh Cream and, if you can find it, the live stuff from Klooks Kleek in 11/66.

Like Page famously said, "Eric evolved the Les Paul and Marshall sound-he should get total credit for that". :jim

+1. Also, that Free Live album is very good.

Every guitar has a unique voice, and I'd say my Les Paul favs would be:

Clean - Luther Allison and Grady Martin

Dirty - Gary Moore and Dickie Betts

What are yours?

Paul Kossoff on the studio version of All Right Now. From the album Fire and Water.
