Eric Clapton- Where did Slowhand come from?? #shorts

Eric Clapton would play with thin strings to get more stretch..but that also cause more strings to break! When he was with the Yardbirds and this happened..the show would stop while he restrung his guitar while still on stage! It was the slow clapping that started it and the rest is history!

Back in the 70's, the word was Clapton didn't play the guitar as fast as he used to because of sort of accident he sustained in the past which causes him to play slowly. I never heard just what kind accident? So intern, Clapton adorned the name "Ole' Slow-Hand"

Great nickname for an unbelievably good guitarist and song writer .

Imagine waking up and realizing that you’re the one who gave Slowhand his nickname 😮

so interesting I always wondered about that

Pretty sure this whole story is BS. He named him "Slowhand" because his hands were anything BUT slow.
