It would have been interesting to have heard what Delaney Bramlett had to 
say on this.  He reportedly taught George Harrison to play slide guitar, 
and 
co-wrote "Let It Rain" with Clapton.  (also on film with Delaney & Bonnie 
and Friends, playing gospel rock in Death Valley in the great "Vanishing 
Point").
