I like this...
one part of me is reminded of a beatles tune, somehow, some way... particularly in the opening seconds...
another part of me, just after the opening seconds, hears a teensy bit of "clapton, old slowhand" in the guitar bends, lol... (I liked that...lol)
yet another part of me hears something bluesy, spiritual-like about the overall thing....
to me, for my moneys worth... you "capture"
the signature clapton "sound" for a few seconds, just after the opening chords... while I dont suggest you are ripping him off, rather I would suggest "who BETTER to shoot for" as a bluesy style... if you could just "hold onto" that "old slowhand thingy" a litle bit longer... (which is, I know, a tall order... I mean, who BUT clapton sounds like clapton, eh? Well, you HAD him nailed for a few seconds there...)
I'm impressed. Your blues playing is in patches extremely emotional and expressive... moreover, your not accomplishing it by simply playing fast... your doing it by playing WELL... and while I know your shooting for your own style and place in the music world, naturally... havign someone say "jesus, he sounds just like Clapton!!" is not a bad thing, by any stretch, I should think...
