Indeed. These young'uns have only heard MTV Unplugged and don't know what he sounded like back then. He was THE MAN and is THE MAN now. I bow at his altar.

I agree that he's a very good guitarist/musician.

But I don't understand why many people refer to him as the greatest guitar player ever.

Is there like specific reasons or things to consider when listening to his work?
Or is it just a general consenus kind of thing based on everyone's taste.

Well, it would be REALLY hard to pick the "greatest guitar player ever".

Eric Clapton is a master of what he does and a damn fine guitarist, he's not over-rated except by those who aren't qualified to rate him

Paco de Lucia, Leo Kottke, Django Reinhardt, and Robert Johnson are, IMO, ALL better, but I'm just as likely to listen to Clapton as any of those....
