HIDEAWAY (1966) by John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers- featuring Eric Clapton
For some people, the history of the electric guitar begins with Mayall’s Blues Breakers album featuring a young Eric Clapton playing a Les Paul Standard through a Marshall amp. Even now, many believe this is Eric’s greatest guitar work. At the time, 1966, no one could quite believe the fluid guitar licks and the biting tone. This album was the basis for the slogans around London saying ‘Clapton is God’.
Here is great info on the equipment Clapton used, including a treble booster.

Hideaway is a Freddy King instrumental that while sticking to the basic structure, has Clapton’s own stamp. It was a huge inspiration for guitarists at the time and since, and many learned guitar copying licks off this album. (Just look at the many guitarists who have put their own versions on You Tube!).
Sadly there is no film footage of this vintage Clapton, so I have put together a ‘Ken Burns’ type slide video using every Blues Breaker era image I could find.
Comments are invited but please no ‘my guitarist is better than your guitarist’!
