Listen below to Eric Clapton‘s favourite Jimi Hendrix song of all time. That incident that night is historic in my mind.” I was actually privileged to be part of something that no one’s ever gonna be.

And me too, I just thought, ‘Ah, someone that plays the stuff I love, in the flesh, on stage with me. “And I thought, ‘Well, yeah.’ And it was funny in those days anybody could get up with anybody if you were convincing enough that you could play. “He came to the London Polytechnic, and we were playing there, we got up on stage, and then Chas Chandler came up to us and said, ‘I’ve got this friend who would love to jam.’ “The first time I met Jimi, he came to see Cream play at an early Cream gig when we were playing universities and stuff like that, and the Cambridge May Ball,” reflected Clapton. Clapton picks Hendrix’s version of ‘Killing floor’ when asked to select his favourite number from the guitar virtuoso by the BBC. The fact that Clapton chose the song that Hendrix performed when they first met, the song Clapton had yet to master, is a sign of huge respect. With such a deep connection to the man behind the music, Clapton’s selection of his favourite Hendrix song was always likely to be an intriguing one. Like all of us, though, Clapton still has the music Hendrix left behind to reflect on his legacy. Keith Altham of The Guardian and famed rock journalist of the time noted the meeting between Clapton and Hendrix, remembering: “Chandler going backstage after Clapton left in the middle of the song ‘which he had yet to master himself’ Clapton was furiously puffing on a cigarette and telling Chas: ‘You never told me he was that fucking good’.” Clearly, Chandler had not only found a gem of an artist but a legitimate contender for the throne. Cream offered the American his first performance in London, and the guitarist dutifully got up and blew everybody away from the first notes he played. Of course, Jimi Hendrix wasn’t just an incredible friend of Clapton’s he was also competing in the field. The two guitarists would become the best of friends before Hendrix’s tragic demise. one such man was the virtuoso player Jimi Hendrix. in fact, there is probably only a handful of people who can hold a torch to Clapton’s iconography with the axe. Despite some difficulties in recent years, the perception of Clapton as one of the greatest guitar players of all time holds firm.
