I know both of them. I know Jimmy Page was with Led Zeppelin. I know some of Eric Clapton’s more famous pieces. I know Eric Clapton was married to George Harrison’s ex.

I’m getting old. I grew up with Elvis Presley music and remember well when the Beatles came on the scene and the British invasion bands like the Yardbirds.

The Yardbirds were the most accomplished musicians of the British invasion - great, great songs and Beck was beyond amazing with his solos.

Clapton was their first lead guitarist followed by Page & Beck. At one time, both Page and Beck were in the Yardbirds at the same time.

Of the three, Beck was far and away the best of the three.

As an aside, that’s Clapton on lead guitar on Harrison’s classic “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”.
