I too have been a life-long fan of Eric Clapton, he is one of my biggest musical influences and I feel that my guitar playing style and technique more "naturally" mirrors his. I did NOT know any of this about Eric Clapton. I especially enjoyed hearing that he scored the soundtrack for the movie, "Lethal Weapon", one of my favorite action movies from the 80's. Great video! Thanks!
Never thought I’d see a tutorial for anything related to the TDF album. Great job and I am absolutely impressed you went after these deep cuts. Some other Clapton sessions not widely talked about: 1.) Sun, Moon, and Herbs by Dr John. “Where Yat Mule” being a standout track feature the Derek era style of playing. 2.) Junior Wells and Buddy Guy - Play The Blues. Also a Derek and The Dominos era album that Clapton produced and played on. 3.) Unreleased version of Brown Sugar by The Rolling Stones 4.) Love Comes To Everyone by George Harrison 5.) Runaway Train by Elton John (The One album) 6.) Babyface, Unplugged 7.) John Lennon - Live Peace In Toronto 8.) Jimi Hendrix - Power Of Soul album - Burning Of The Midnight Lamp (2005-ish)
I love this. I started playing music in the late 90s and it was "that" era that I "started" then went backwards. Meaning while I was aware of the Eric Clapton music of the 60s and the 70s, it was actually the "Pilgrim" album that I bought and still absolutely adore. It had "that" tone you're getting here - very gritty though not overly distorted, likely using the neck and middle of his strat with the TBX and boost that really set the page for me. Hearing how close you both are getting here makes me want to reapproach that sound. Thanks for all you folk do.
Had this album since the late 90s. Tony Rich and Sheryl Crow are on it as well. It is Crow who is featured as talking on the track “what she wants”. Around the same time he played on the Tony Rich “Birdseye” album. That is worth checking out as well .He was using a custom shop reissue Fender Bassman which was modified with old pine from an old church. This was featured in a 90s guitar world interview with Lee Dickens his guitar tech . The gold leaf strat was around this time as well .Great post . Nice to see others get exposed to this masterpiece. His tone and playing were so slick around this time.
Yeah, I still have this album. It and 461 Ocean Blvd. are the only Clapton albums I like, and his playing on it is unbelievable, especially the acoustic work.
@@VertexEffectsInc Clapton scored it… this is Rush, the film from 1991, not the film about Formula 1 racing. He does a fantastic song with Buddy Guy called Don’t Know Which Way To Go.
You need to be checking out the theme from Edge of darkness. A BBC TV show from the 80's. Eric plays a stellar live version on his 24 nights recording from 1991
Great shout. The live versions is stunning! The way the piece builds to a climax where EC absolutely flies across the fretboard is really something to behold.
EC was completely switched over to the 57’ tweed twins by this time. His producer and songwriter collaborator Simon Climie were working on Pilgrim, and were asked to make some material for a fashion show.
100% True. I was in The UK touring with Tina Turner at the time that I recorded my vocals. And then Eric in return played some guitar parts of my Birdseye album.
I’m fortunate to have owned 2 Strats w/lace sensors…..I still have 1 thank god. I hocked my first one for a Marshall 4x12 cab. That was painful but I bought 1 for 700 bucks. This one sounds a little warmer! 91 baby.
As much as I love the Clapton Strat (I play one myself) on most of the examples-wrong guitar on While My Guitar Gently weeps-a Les Paul would get the sound.
Should be pretty obvious that a Soldano and Clapton Strat wouldn't have existed when that song came out. I don't think that was contradicted in the video.
VERTEX, why don't you come out with an 80s Clapton guitar pedal to mimic his Lace Sensor pickups like you did with the SSS pedal with the TBX circuit in the same pedal. The problem is getting that Lace Sensor pickukp tone because I have tried using an EQ pedal and it can't get that Lace Sensor tone. Try to make a video lesson on using the new soldano pedals that can mimic claptons 80's rig with a wet, dry, wet setup using a Tri-chorus pedal. I'm curious to see how you can get that lace sensor tone out of normal stock cheap MIM mexican strat using ceramic magnetic pickups and also USA strat using alnico magnetic pickups by using an EQ pedal or something. Eric Claptons 80's tone is Lace Sensor pickups, TBX circuit, Soldano pedal, Tri-chorus, not sure which speakers he used in his speaker cabinets.
Have you seen this one? Marcus talks about how Eric struggled with the tunes; but like a true professional, went to the woodshed and came back and killed it. 😎 ruclips.net/video/hMfalO9ILUA/видео.html

@@VertexEffectsInc he’s been my fav since college. In 70’s. When I started playing guitar the first one I bough was a custom Blondie (like the Blackie you were playing)!!
Mason, why don't you make a backup copy of the CD in wav format? Also, the Lethal Weapon tune you're referencing is nothing more than a variation of "It's Probably Me" by Sting which had Clapton in it.

I have this T.D.F album when it came out. It was so awesome and so different. Still love it.
The pros and cons of hitchhiking! Rogers first post Floyd album is Sir Eric as well. Caught Eric live with Roger on the tour they did for that.
Nice!
And for that tour, at Montréal Forum, he changed Strat at each song and each strat has different color. His picks was written on them "it's not me"
Great album
My favorite Clapton playing. Just amazing.

The clips really do nail Clapton's style and sound. Nice playing.
I have had the 'Clapton' boost kit in my main workhorse strat for decades...secret weapon. People marvel at the tone when I go to jams..shhh!
It can be great through a lot of amps!
Your choice from Lethal Weapon - sich a beautiful piece of instrumental guitar.
I picked up this album brand new a few months back when you mentioned it. It’s got some good stuff on it!

Great info that - cheers! Had no idea Sheryl Crow was involved. Around that time there's a recording of her joining him on stage, isn't there.
I have the original cd bought at the time it came out. I’ve been a Clapton fan since 1992!
Yeah, I still have this album. It and 461 Ocean Blvd. are the only Clapton albums I like, and his playing on it is unbelievable, especially the acoustic work.
The soundtrack to Rush, some excellent instrumental tracks there!
with Eric Clapton playing on them?
Yes it’s a must listen for a Clapton fan! Includes Tears in Heaven.
@@VertexEffectsInc Clapton scored it… this is Rush, the film from 1991, not the film about Formula 1 racing. He does a fantastic song with Buddy Guy called Don’t Know Which Way To Go.
Another soundtrack to check out - Lethal Weapon - and I think the sequels 2 and 3.
And just as I commented you came up to this very soundtrack 😅

Great music and Tim’s playing is excellent!
Aloha and Mahalo! Eric has always did music and took the attention of him. Starting from Derek and the Domino
EC was completely switched over to the 57’ tweed twins by this time. His producer and songwriter collaborator Simon Climie were working on Pilgrim, and were asked to make some material for a fashion show.
Once again, makes me think. Never heard b4 Clapton! Dig it.
THE RUSH SOUNDTRACK IS ONE OF MY FAVS!
FROM THE CRADLE IS A BLUES MASTERPIECE AND I GOT TO SEE THAT TOUR WHERE GATEMOUTH BROWN OPENED FOR HIM!
I have this CD .... original pressing. I had NO idea that he played on this..
I still use it for demos.
I bought this album 15 years ago when I found out about this.
Isn’t Eric’s work all over the Phenomenon movie? Great episode Mason btw 🙏
Yup always enjoy hearing While my guitar gently weeps
One helluva rare deep dive!
THANK GOODNESS i HAVE THE CD...... STILL!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!
Eric’s playing on “I’d Have You Anytime” ❤
Who is that with?
@@steverussell8804 George Harrison
100% True. I was in The UK touring with Tina Turner at the time that I recorded my vocals. And then Eric in return played some guitar parts of my Birdseye album.
bro why
He was the original Daft Punk
Clapton & in fact Derek & the Dominos we’re all over the George Harrison album All Things Must Pass. Some gold on there for sure..
Good stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it
Another little-known song that Eric Clapton played on is Miles Road by Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton.
Wow, nice!
Also check out the Homeboy soundtrack . He did that score as well .
I’m fortunate to have owned 2 Strats w/lace sensors…..I still have 1 thank god.
I hocked my first one for a Marshall 4x12 cab. That was painful but I bought 1 for 700 bucks. This one sounds a little warmer! 91 baby.
I am.hos Forever Fan ♥ ❤ 💙 💖 💓
I found two copies of this CD on Amazon.
he discussed it in his book i believe.
there's no bottom end in sienna....... but ole Tim Mayer sounded really good on this

Forgot "Homeboy" movie with Mickey Rourke!
He talks about it in his autobiography
Eric Clapton y The Bee Gees, con el tema Fight (No matter how long). Por favor, los acordes de Meet Martin Riggs?
I Wish It Would Rain Down on But Seriously from Phil Collins features soaring leads from Clapton and there is a funny video to accompany it
Well you know who heard this album? JOHN MAYER ...man its so reminiscent of John's latest stuff other than the obvious Journeyman album.
Have you seen this one? Marcus talks about how Eric struggled with the tunes; but like a true professional, went to the woodshed and came back and killed it. 😎
