Hard Rock Calling on MHD

Anybody catch this? Sweet ass show!!!
Clapton kicked serious ass. They did like a 10 minute rendition of Layla...Also featured lots of kick ass bands with heavy emphasis on guitars

no video but decent sound for a youtube vid.. John Mayer stepped up on stage and paid hommage to the guitar gods too

Layla (non acoustic) is one of my fav. Clapton songs.  John Mayer is an awesome guitar player too.

Picking up some new strings for mine today at lunch.. It's my new mission in life to play that lick

[ELake]

Thinking about it more...When Clapton did Layla unplugged it totally started the craze for artists doing there shit unplugged.. Remember that? After he did Layla unplugged it seems like every artist was being featured with an unplugged set..

thats because unplugged is cooler.

The term is pretty gay though.. Their acoustic guitars are plugged into an amp 

[busyfixin]

yea, it is pretty gave.   electric acoustics     whats next, accordians and bagpipes with air hoses?  "dood, go you want to jam together?  sure, help me drag in my ingersol rand 60 gal. compressor, what kind do you have?  i roll with a quincy nowdays!  whoa, Impressive!"   uber gayness

I like the sound of an acoustic with a pickup..Otherwise you are trying to play into a microphone to project your sound..it sounds much cleaner out of an amp
