Eric Clapton

Eric Clapton is a God. – Or at least that’s what the graffiti scrawled on London homes used to imply. Eric Clapton, a member of The Yardbirds, Cream, Derek, and The Dominos, is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s first three-time inductee. Clapton has 18 Grammy Awards to his name and has sold over 100 million albums around the world.

David Gilmour

Gilmour is widely regarded as one of the all-time great guitarists. Pink Floyd’s transformative sound evolved from its roots as a blues/folk group into an acid rock genre that no other band could match. The Moon and The Wall’s albums Dark Side continue to sell millions of copies each year as new band fans emerge.
