    I was trying to learn Layla..i googled for the tabs and chords but Mr.Clapton has copyrights hence many dont have it..i turned into youtube and there also you dont get great tutorials for it..Suddenly it occured to me there might be guitarists/experts at IGT playing it ? Overall i wanted to know how many were/are/is interested in Layla!
    So tell How many of you can play the greatest song of all time "Layla" by Eric clapton on your guitar-acoustic/electric?
    here are the options

    a] never thought or tried! What song is this 'layla'?

    you can get them in ultimate guitar.com...

    (staff notations are better than tablatures)

    alpha1 I BLUES!

    Eric Clapton may not really appeal to someone who likes Flamenco or Western Classical or Speed Metal shred.
    I feel the best time was during the Cream. You may feel it was during the Derek & Dominos ...

    And Layla - I don't feel that is really his best composition.

    Which one do you think is his best? Personally, I'm not a huge Clapton fan (a fan but not in the "Clapton is God" vein). I love some of his songs and Layla would be right up there for me...but maybe the Duane Allman solo has a lot to do with it?

    and yeah, I can play Layla but I can only sing the blues version and that too not very well. And I agree, I've never really found a good tab for the song but then again, I never really tried very hard to.

    I wasn't talking about you saying he was. This is a rather famous story about when he was playing with John Mayall in Bluesbreakers. Someone graffiti-ed "Clapton is God" on a wall in London which became rather popular. A sort of a shrine even for his fans. The photo was rather famously captured in this way below:

    ok..ok..
    there are peopl who love his music than any others..for them he is god..y comment about their love
    those who like rap consider tupac as god!..i mean when i listen to it i dont even get his music..y..coz its not what my preferance is!..same is the case with that metal music..

    if u asked me,i wud consider kishorekumar/burman or even for that matter rafi saab or for that matter some of the kannada singers/composers as god..coz their songs appeal to me much more than any english genre coz i grew up listening to them and started to listen english music way later in my teens[i couldnt understand even a single word that time..he he he]..i think thats the case with almost all non native english speakers..
    its all about preferances..so i dont wanna pretend that i was born hearing english music and is immersed in it all the time n know all the genres or compare the artists..
    enjoy good music whatever genre/artist/language is the mantra..as simple as that
