Ep109 – When Guitar Gods Get Nervous: Clapton’s Story

from The Acoustic Asylum · host Dan Thorpe

Today’s episode is all about one of Eric Clapton’s proudest moments. It all happened when he was asked to play on an album with one of the greatest musicians of all time. The thing that makes the story stand out is that it shows even the greats of guitar get nervous. In the episode, I share Clapton’s story and what he had to say about his incredible and unique experience. But all of us have been there on a smaller scale – feeling nervous about playing in front of others. Everybody gets nervous, and everybody thinks there’s someone better out there, even the greats. The key is just to stay relaxed. If you enjoyed this podcast, you can get my free “guitar secrets” video course which will help all beginners or those who are “stuck”.
