Biography
An English guitarist, singer, and songwriter, Eric Clapton defined the role of the guitar virtuoso in the modern rock era. His career began with foundational tenures in *The Yardbirds* and *John Mayall* & the Bluesbreakers before he pioneered the power trio format with Cream, fusing high-volume blues improvisation with psychedelic pop.
