Shortly after Eric Clapton joined The Yardbirds, people started to call him like this because whenever he would break a string while playing, he took his time changing out the broken guitar string for a new one and every time this happened on stage, the audience would do a slow hand clap as Clapton would change out his broken string. Thus, "Slowhand" became Eric Clapton's nickname.
