Eric Clapton played a 1977 Juan Alvarez classical guitar on several songs during his legendary MTV Unplugged performance on January 16, 1992: Signe, Tears in Heaven, and Lonely Stranger. The cover of Clapton's Grammy award-winning Unplugged album shows him playing a 1939 Martin 000-42 which was a gift from Steven Stills, who owns a substantial number of coveted pre-war Martins. Clapton's best performance overall was his acoustic version of "Layla" which shocked the music world. It's no surprise to avid listeners of his music that Clapton is one of the best reinterpreters in popular music. The MTV Unplugged concert proved once and for all that his guitar playing is peerless, acoustic or electric.
