Abstract

This article from Guitar World discusses the different eras of Eric Clapton's career, focusing specifically on his "Gibson years" from 1965 to around 1970. During this time, Clapton played Gibson guitars almost exclusively, particularly the Les Paul. The article includes a video of the author playing a 1959 Les Paul Standard, similar to the one Clapton played on the album "Blues Breakers: John Mayall and Eric Clapton." The article also provides examples of Clapton's playing style and techniques during this era. The author concludes by mentioning that the next article will cover Clapton's "Fender years."
