Best Answer

I read/ heard that Eric Patrick Clapp (A.K.A.) Eric Clapton taught himself to play guitar by listening to blues/ rock records that he purchased as British imports from America, meaning that he would copy the music that he heard until he achieved a desired result, a process known as trial & error.
