TBT this week. If theres any guitarist & track that rivals Zeppelins Stairway to Heaven its Claptons iconic near 8 minute masterpiece. Inspired by Persian Poetry, Layla was Claptons love ballad to Pattie Boyd, the wife of his close friend & Beatle George Harrison whom she ended up divorcing in 1977 before marrying Clapton two years later. The track originally recorded in 1971 goes some way to showing the emotional anguish experienced by Clapton in the build up to one of the most shocking moments in 1970s music and a love affair caught between two of the greatest guitarists of all time producing one of the most iconic riffs of all time. It was also the first track in history to have originally been written with both Lead & Rhythm guitar performed by one guitarist on one 6 string guitar. Incredible stuff, enjoy kids youtube/watch?v=fX5USg8_1gA
