Eric Clapton

Eric Clapton, the world top guitarist

Introducing about Eric Clapton

 Hello, nice to meet you again. Today, I want to talk about one of the most famous guitarist in the world, Eric Clapton.
 I first learned about him when I started playing electric guitar. I was searching for songs, and I saw 'Tears in Heaven' from Eric Clapton. That song is actually played on an acoustic guitar, but I was so impressed in the song and started practicing it with an electric guitar. When I started practicing the Intro of 'Tears in Heaven", mom heard me playing and informed me that 'Tears in Heaven' is a song which was written after Eric Clapton's son died. I then realized why the song was so sad. I felt pity, and searched for more information about Eric Clapton. As a result, I became a big fan of Clapton.
 Eric Clapton was born in 1945, when Korea became independent from Japan. He's very famous for playing the guitar. He is known as United Kingdom's most famous guitarist& singer-song writer. He's also one of the most influential guitarists in the world according to Rolling Stone magazine. 

 Wow! It's such a long post. Aren't you boring? I hope you not. At last I want to introduce some songs I like from Eric Clapton. There are 3 songs I like.

1. <Layla> :  This song's guitar solo is just surprising. This song heals me from stress and late studying. It's fun and impactful. Watching the live video will be much better than only listening to a song. 

2. <Tears in Heaven> : As I accounted this song at the first, this song made me concerned in  Eric Clapton. This song is deep and quite. It makes my mind calm.

3. <Wonderful Tonight> : This song is like mix of 2 songs I posted. The harmony of the guitar and the atmosphere is deep enough. 

Thank you for reading my post, and I will finish with some pictures of Clapton. Good night!
