After he turned fifteen, two years later, Eric decided to have another go at the guitar

He was getting the hang of it when he enrolled in art school

Once he had mastered the old steel stringed guitar, however, Clapton couldn't focus on his art classes and he was tossed out

Despite this rough treatment he remained interested in the Dada movement of the early 20th century, and later said it influenced his music and performances (not to mention album covers)
