Excellent Colin! Spot on! I wonder if Eric has discovered your channel and thinks to himself "I wish I could play like that"!! And then says to himself "this dude even looks like me"!!😉 Great stuff, keep up the brilliant work 👍
I was having a bad day, but then I got the notification and your cover got me in the mood of playing. Thanks for the nice cover! Keep up the good work!
Looking good and sounding great as always my friend. I'd forgotten just how commercial and poppy this version was compared to the Robert Cray original. I was lucky enough to see EC jam with Cray on this track at the Mean Fiddler in London in late 1986. That 80's Clapton strat sound, can also be heard on the new John Mayer album. Hope you're keeping well, always a good day when you post :-)
@@ColinStachowski Haha, It's true. You have done a spectacular and very thorough job. This album is very atypical in Mr. Clapton's career. A great album without a doubt that not everyone appreciates as it deserves. Regarding my version, I have played it in my own way, a little by ear, without respecting the original leads ... I am very given to improvisation, hehe ... I have read in some other comment that you plan to stop after covering "From the Cradle". For me, Eric's last great album. Although there are very well-known songs in his later recordings. I repeat, I admire your work a lot. Regards!!
@@kikefuentes5105 Same here, albums after 'From the Cradle' are not really classics for me. I don’t see myself trying to figure out how to play songs like 'Three Little Girls' etc. I guess I will then go back and focus on Bluesbreakers and Cream if I get a Gibson by then.
@@ColinStachowski Cream and Bluesbreakers, even the Yardbyrds era have great blues songs. Although Cream approaches that from another perspective. The Les Paul sound is very distinctive at that time. In any case, a guitar with a humbucker might be able to resemble that sound. The woman tone.
Thanks! There a lot of them, I really like how 'One Jump Ahead of the Storm' has turned out. But actually the entire 'Behind the Sun' was fun to work on. What cover are looking forward to now?
If I could change one thing about the 'August' album, I would turn up the guitar louder in the mix. A lot of good playing all through out the album but can't really hear it under all the keyboards and Phil Collins drumming. I mean it is Eric's album to, so would make sense to have his instrument turned up the loudest
This song is so good. But I don't understand why Phil Collins made the mistake of such LOW volume in the voice. It can hardly be heard!! I was aware of B. I. in 1986 when August came out, and 2 years later, I discovered Robert cray from scratch... And his original. I like both the same. Anybody knows if Eric has ever played it live??
Great job as always Colin. Too bad the heavy horns and synths didn’t hold up well over time. Even back then I thought Phil Collins was an odd choice for producer.
For a long time I thought the same thing because that has always been a pretty popular narrative in the Clapton fandom (and more than likely connected to the largely baseless and strangely aggressive hate that Collins received for essentially just being popular) but at some point, I started to really think about that position and to be blunt, it didn't really hold up. Bringing Collins in really pushed Clapton to explore a more polished, more sophisticated sound and while that may not have been everyone's cup of tea, it did lead to what can honestly be considered Clapton's peak in regards to playing and performance. One need only watch the '24 Nights' concert (or listen to it) to see the positive impact that Collins had on his musical approach. That show contains some great songs and often the best versions of some of his classics. There is also the simple fact that Collins was Clapton's friend at the time. It makes sense that they would end up working together and honestly it did Clapton's career a lot of good in the long run.
Colin even has Clapton's 80s hair now 😁
Pure coincidence!
Looks good, and adds to the feel of the music!
This song is so cool. Love Eric's vocals in it. Your hair looks a lot like Clapton's in '89. Bravo!
Haha, thanks!
Excellent Colin! Spot on!
I wonder if Eric has discovered your channel and thinks to himself "I wish I could play like that"!!
And then says to himself "this dude even looks like me"!!😉
Great stuff, keep up the brilliant work 👍
Hah, thanks! I don't think he ever have and ever will.
I was having a bad day, but then I got the notification and your cover got me in the mood of playing.
Thanks for the nice cover!
Keep up the good work!
Glad I could help a bit! Take care!
I've been following you for years now, amazing skills and progress along the way!
@@cedricsteinmann Thanks a lot!

Thanks! Be sure to check out Robert Cray’s original!
Hey dude nothing like some Clapton' Nice job thanks for sharing ☮
Thanks Roz!

Great cover! Keep them coming

Bravo! You nailed it!! keep on!!!
Thanks! I was actually waiting to see what you think about it as you are the first person to cover this version on youtube I guess. Glad you like it!

Well yes but I need to as accurate as possible, hah!
Coilin I missed you but I see that you have also improved. Welcome back and great version! Waiting for Holy Mother now..
Thanks Carlo! Great to see you back!
Awesome
😌👌🎶 love this solo
Thanks!
Good job, Colin. Thank you😇
Thanks!
Hello, nice to see you again, you're a famous guitar player !👍
Thanks but I don't think so, hah!
Amazing!!!
Thank you!
Awesome cover, beautiful hair :) Kudos and thanks Colin.
Thanks!
Great job
Thanks!
It’s one thing to play the licks - but Your tone is 🤘🏼 you nailed it .
Thanks a lot!
Muy bien Colin!!!!
Thanks!
Very well done. Tone is excellent and the solo is perfect. What’s your favourite song you have covered so far?
Thanks! There a lot of them, I really like how 'One Jump Ahead of the Storm' has turned out. But actually the entire 'Behind the Sun' was fun to work on. What cover are looking forward to now?
@@ColinStachowski Behind the sun is probably my favourite album. On this album I’m looking forward to ‘Miss You’ and ‘Holy Mother’.
Cool! Stay tuned!
If I could change one thing about the 'August' album, I would turn up the guitar louder in the mix. A lot of good playing all through out the album but can't really hear it under all the keyboards and Phil Collins drumming. I mean it is Eric's album to, so would make sense to have his instrument turned up the loudest
No hate to the keyboards or Phil Collins drumming by the way.
Amazing work Colin. Your accuracy is amazing. Do you have tabs for this song?
Thanks! Yes, I do have. Please see the description.
It's 2023, one has to play this through a roxy pink silver sky or a dragon fruit/summit purple SE. 😀
I would like you to cover the song Pilgrim
Sorry, I don't plan to cover this album.
@@ColinStachowski Ok😢
this is song is so good but very less on the internet

Thank you! I don't think he ever played it live. Too many chords to remember I guess...
@@ColinStachowski i don’t think this can be a bit of trouble for Eric and his band...they are pros
Colin need I shot the sheriff Hyde park version AS ALWAYS GREAT PLAYING
Thanks! We'll see about that in the future...
Znakomicie. Pozdrawiam.
Dziekuje!
Great job as always Colin.
Too bad the heavy horns and synths didn’t hold up well over time. Even back then I thought Phil Collins was an odd choice for producer.
Thanks Andrew! Yes Eric’s guitar is pretty burried deep in the mix. I’ve tried to bring it back to life.

Muy bueno eres muy bueno y solo te falta cantar como el por que hasta te pareces algo a ERIC CLAPTON
Thank you!
Colin - thanks so much for this channel. I just emailed you at your hotmail address. I look to hearing back from you.
Thanks Grant!
It's Robert Cray
Great playing! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Niki!
Niedługo będziesz Journeymanem ;)
Haha!
This song belongs to Robert Cray.
