Eric Clapton - Layla cover

Community Recordings Audio-Video Of You Playing
1

Hi there!

I finally found time to work on a new cover. This time I worked on my favorite version of Layla, based on a live recording that Clapton did in the Royal Albert Hall in 1991. I think his playing was on fire during those shows!
As per usual I only did the guitar parts, and played over stems for the rest of the song.

The solo is actually a lot harder than what one might expect from a Clapton tune. Slow hand my a$$… some of those licks are damn hard to pull of, also due to the way he phrases them. Lots of difficult string changes that makes picking awkward. I’m 95% satisfied with my rendition of it… I think there are still some parts that sounds a little bit stiff, but I didn’t want to spend too much time on it.

Anyways, hope you’ll like it!

Fantastic Kasper. You are right, he was on fire. Sounds like they upped the tempo on the studio version. Love the vocal as well. Your tone and playing, well as pro as always.

Hey Kasper,
Great song choice to cover. Great job in doing it. Your tone(s) in this are spot on. The play as I know it was that as well. Nice mix to the backing track(s) as your contributions fit right in. I like the whole effort and are glad you posted it!

Be well and play on,
LB

Awesome! Musicality in every note, every phrase, every word. One of the best performances I’ve heard on here.

Awesome Kaspar (& I don’t use the word Awesome lightly)!!!
Really good rendition of a VERY RECOGNIZABLE Classic!!!
The issue with playing songs that everyone knows is that your mistakes really stand out… I didn’t hear a single one!!!
Great performance!!!

I suspect Eric may have made more mistakes than Mr Fauerby !

Great stuff Kasper, really nicely played and definitely worth the effort in doing it! Yes I agree 100% about “slow hand” :laughing: I don’t know which foolish person named him that! I have always shied away from doing any of his stuff, it looks like it could be relatively easy until you get going on it, then you get the “rude awakening”!
So what next?

Right on Kasper!

Very well done for sure.

If you wouldn’t have said it was you playing guitar, I’d have thought I was listening to EC.
Dig the feedback at the end. Cool.

Excellent!
Thanks for sharing.
