I didn't mean to open a fight.... 
LOL
Love music, listen to all the music you can... even if only to criticize the piece!
Anyway, an interesting theme of discussion.
About George "incident":...
In a 1980 interview, John Lennon expressed his doubts about the notion of "subconscious" plagiarism, saying:
"He must have known, you know. He's smarter than that ... He could have changed a couple of bars in that song and nobody could ever have touched him, but he just let it go and paid the price. Maybe he thought God would just sort of let him off."
Ringo Starr's reaction was more charitable: "There's no doubt that the tune is similar but how many songs have been written with other melodies in mind?
George's version is much heavier than The Chiffons – he might have done it with the original in the back of his mind, but he's just very unlucky that someone wanted to make it a test case in court."
George always said he was inspired by "Oh, Happy Days..."

Definitely not a fight...just a clarification! All music is good, whether we all like all music if a different matter though!!
I'm also not sure that 'Clapton is God' either. I think he's right up there, but God must surely be Ing. Fabio Taglioni
This is one of my earliest recollections of the Allman Brothers Band......

Three hugs, again. If I may....
(The fight surely was not with me... I absolutely agree with you. No doubts!
I'm a Classical Guitarist... I spent all my life playing covers... LOL ROFL...)

I play covers too.....I'm too dumb to write my own music!!
Here is Tommy Emmanuel doing a classic cover. Tommy is a completely nice guy, so genuine and honest......

IMHO, the key is: Constant comparison between different executions of the same piece...
"Listening Education" and "Active Listening" should be compulsory subjects in all grades of all public and private schools.
The world would surely be better. ROFL.

What's wrong with this... they are simply playing the music that we all love!!!!
Of course they are not the Allman Brohers...
Play guys and girls... play good music and sing. Love the music. (As you love your trading!!)

Nothing wrong with that at all. My guitar teacher told me very early on, that I need to do my practice every day, which includes finger exercises, modes, scales, chords etc etc etc BUT, not forget to allocate time to just have fun....to play and have fun. It's not called "playing' by coincidence!!!

Yes it is true, and it was my Mum who gave that to me, and it sits on my desk right in front of me....with my acoustic within reach of my left arm, and my electric within reach of my right arm. All I need now is coffee!!
And the pleasure Sir, is all mine

From Motorhead to Mozart, love it all! Talking about times gone by RJ, I remember like yesterday the 3 day Fairport Reunion annual gigs in my later teens growing up in England, the details of which would probably get me locked up but suffice to say we all had a ball. We were dead set spoilt in the 60's and 70's my friend.
Yep....we could have (almost) unlimited fun without hurting anyone or getting hurt ourselves. Good time to be alive imo
