Not many people can cover themselves, but Eric Clapton did just that when he re-imagined "Layla" on his Unplugged album in 1992. It's a beautiful song with so much soul and depth, I never tire of hearing, playing or teaching either version. This one is long overdue and I hope you enjoy!

    This guy is one of the best acoustic guitarist i have ever seen on YouTube

    When people tell me that I’m good at guitar I thank them, but then I compare myself to players like this to keep my ego well in check
  • @RobertAbbott
    Holy crap ... the ease at which he uses different phrasings and incorporates fills is mind blowing.
  • The solo made me wanna throw my acoustic and never touch it again. Stunning
  • @alexdossey
    Good lord, man. I randomly bumped into this video. You’re an assassin on the fretboard. Kudos to you. There’s guys like me that have played guitar for 30 years and either can’t remember a song I learned yesterday, or can’t play what I learned yesterday because of hand pain……and then there is this dude. Glad to know you’re out there my man

    This is the best version I've heard besides the original. I can tell you have a natural feel for music and also put the work in to get as good as you are. Great stuff man.
  • You play like butter my friend...so smooth! Great cover. You've encouraged me to attempt to learn even a fraction of this masterpiece 😂
  • @jonahcbarnett
    Yeah I most appreciate how all your covers honor the original but ABSOLUTELY have YOUR own feeling and flair and feel. Bravo my man
  • Corey, I almost forgot how much I love watching your fingers dance on the fretboard 💜 I’m pretty stoked to find you again. Thank you for sharing your hard work, I can’t imagine the blood, sweat, tears and blisters you’ve experienced throughout the years of learning this craft to be able to do what you do.
