I've always thought Clapton had a really distinctive and awesome vibrato and now I better understand why. His guitar really is the third voice here. Thanks for pointing out his technique, Fil!

[Constantijn]

This solo by Clapton is one of my all time favourite solos, as he plays it with such passion

Hi fil, charlena here from caldwell Idaho in the USA.
I liked your show tonight.
You really explain everything so that even the.. people who don't play the guitar can understand what you are talking about. ❤🎉

Amazing collaboration and analysis. Glad you made it into 2 parts, Fil👍

[loriematthews]

Part two! ☺️ I love the smile on Pavarotti's face... seeing him enjoying himself so much, in turn, makes me feel good! Again, what a collaboration this was.
Thanks Fil!🌷

Great analysis FIL! The way Eric, plays the guitar on this is as though he is singing along through the guitar. He sings with them and he doesn’t try to outshine Luciano or the choir. He works in unison with them making them sound better through his guitar. I researched this song, and it is truly a prayer that he wrote after the loss of one of his bandmates and when he was at the depths of his alcohol addiction. He wrote this as a prayer and if you read the lyrics, you can see that. He plays it with the respect that it deserves and you can hear that respect through his guitar and through his vocals. Thank you so much for reviewing this video.

Clapton is just an awesomely connected emotional guitarist.

[donnatregaro]

Makes my heart sing hearing these two guys have at it! Wow, what a performance.

Clapton/Pavarotti - two absolute Legends that I'm so thankful for having experienced live!
THANKS for a great analysis, FIL!💕

[tammydoolittle]

What a performance! Eric's solo gave me chills as well as Pavoratti's amazing voice. It's amazing how two artists from different genres, can play and sing so beautifully together like Freddie Mercury and Monsterrat Caballes, and Bing Crosby and David Bowie as well as others. Thank you Fil for another fun and amazing analysis, I enjoyed your guitar demonstration too!

[RosaKay]

What a unique collaboration! Two top artists from different genres combining their talents so beautifully! And your analysis is so detailed, helping us appreciate the finer points of their performance. Well done, Fil!

[kathleenhudson]

Thanks for showing this. As a lover of many types of music, I love both Pavoratti and Clapton. I did see Clapton perform live with Cream many years ago. He’s always been one of my favorite guitarists.

[samuelsessions]

Let us not overlook the wonderful, wonderful choir and its director. They sing like angels. Everyone on the stage is united in making this an extraordinarily beautiful, spiritual, performance.

[suehollar]

Clapton and Pavarotti again! This is wonderful This song always lifts my heart. Eric Clapton is my favorite guitarist and your explanation of his vibrato techniques makes me appreciate his playing even.more.

[dmcarp]

Original analysis of what these 2 artists of very different genre had in common: the controlled, even vibrato of both vocalist - Pavarotti and guitarist -- Clapton.
Liked the guitar demo.

[mckendrick]

Superb stuff, Fil. Really well described, man. Rock!

[guyg.]

I absolutely love Eric's solo! I've listened to it too many times to count. It may not be the most technically difficult but it is simply perfect! Which is the point! As you said, less is more. It takes the listener on an emotional, spiritual journey that is transcendent, all the while fitting the song perfectly. The whole performance of these two legends is incomparable! Thank you Fil for once again providing thoughtful, insightful and entertaining analysis.

[julzy]

Thank you for a riveting second half, Fil. As a singer, I am really beginning to understand the concept of melodic guitar playing & the importance of vibrato through watching your videos. When you were speaking about the space to breathe, it reminded me of your recent discussion with Phil Palmer & the music is the space between the notes. (DeBussy quote).🤓

[RonWesterbeek]

Hi Fil, good to hear you again. Interesting to listen to these heavyweights. Thanks. Rock

[berkc]

Hey Pegasus, i love your videos so much. Specially the Clapton ones.
