Clapton and Harrison duet for a woman - Aug 09, 2007
Eric Clapton and George Harrison once faced a passion guitar duet to win the love of gorgeous model Pattie Boyd. Clapton was drunk when he showed up at Harrison-Boyd residence to fight for Harrison then wife love. As Boyds writes in her memoirs, “George handed him a guitar and an amp - as an 18th century gentleman might have handed his rival a sword - and for two hours, without a word, they duelled. "At the end, nothing was said but the general feeling was that Eric had won. He hadn't allowed himself to get riled or go in for instrumental gymnastics as George had. Even when he was drunk, his guitar-playing was unbeatable." Like a fairy tale, Boyd split from Harrison, calling their life together "ludicrous and hateful" and married Clapton in 1979.
