- He first encountered the blues through a radio show that played music for kids. Clapton was raised by his grandparents and “was a bit of a loner at times,” says his grandma.
- A pop career didn’t interest him. In 1964, Clapton played a Christmas event with the Yardbirds. The Beatles were also on the bill, and seeing them had a profound effect on Clapton.
- Clapton’s influences extend outside of guitarists. Though he’s known for six-string wizardry, Clapton looked to other instruments for inspiration. “I listened to [the Indian musician] Bismillah Khan a lot,” he says.
- He influenced recording techniques as well as guitar-playing technique. When Clapton went into the studio to record as a member of John Mayall’s group, he was frustrated by technicians “that just came up to your amp with the microphone and just stuck it two inches away from the front of the amplifier,” he says.
