 * 1) Written Information: I am researching Eric Clapton as my guitarist. My guitarist plays rock and blues as his style of music. Also, he was influenced to play guitar by B.B. King and Jimmy Rodgers who also played rock and blues.
 * 2) Eric is still living today, he was born in 1945 and during his childhood both of his parents passed and Eric lived with his grandparents. But as he grew older he became better at guitar and he wasnt taught how to play by anybody. He taught himself how to play. He became so good that he became a very well known guitarist. He has played with cream, the yardbirds,and many other bands too.
 * 3) He was pretty wealthy because he bought a 4.8 million dollar ferrari which is a lot of money and a very nice car. If he wasnt a famous guitarist he probably wouldnt have nearly as much as he does now. He is lucky to be that famous and to have alot of money and a nice guitar too.
 * 4) A few famous songs of his are "for your love,epic 1965", "wheels of fire,1968". He played these songs by himself, and with some of the famous bands he played with. he played with many bands and he played by himself and he was very famous doing both.
 * 5) I learned that this guitarist was famous, rich and was a very good guitar player. I learned that Eric Clapton taught himself how to play guitar and that he had no prior knowledge on how to play guitar. The reason is because his parents had both died when he was growing up.
