Playing by ear

this is from the 2002 tribute album 'stairway to rock'. gisa vatcky

Somewhere over the rainbow -Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

Supposedly by Eric clapton. Not sure.. that's what the file name said anyway

This is a famous Albert King number. Jimi Hendrix recorded a brilliant cover of this.

This is a John Lennon song

a standard country song on a basic blues structure.. but i love it for it's simplicity .... and a tasty lead...

1000 apologies for the hiatus.

This one's a classic blues-rock track from Howlin' Wolf.

Be patient with this track. don't judge.. just listen

This is Suzanne Vega's original 'a Capella' version.

Heard this after ages.. hidden in some corner of my hard drive. This is the hugely popular remixed version of Suzanne Vega's orginal 'a capella' version...
Suzanne Vega is often called the 'Mother of MP3' because this song was one of the songs used to fine tune and develop the mp3 codec.

yes yes. i'm a clapton fan.
this is possibly my fav clapton song and one of my fav blues-rock songs. i think clapton was really at the peak of his guitar playing when this was recorded. this was around the same time when he finally managed to convince Pattie Boyd - the woman he had obsessed about for years - to leave George harrison and live with him.
his autobiography has messed with my head.. okay.. enough talk. go listen.

this was recorded live at The Band's farewell concert called The Last Waltz.

Really delicate music this.... listen only when it's quiet. One of those songs which i end up putting on infinite loop.

posting again as there was a problem with the file format i had posted earlier.

Random Clapton recording discovered on youtube. don't know if this song was ever released. just finished reading clapton's autobiography.. he was going through some serious drug addiction problems during this time and yet managed to keep producing brilliant music....

Cover by Rodrigo and Gabriela. Haven't heard acoustic guitar playing this good in a while... This is from their 2006 self titled album. Good stuff
