A simple xample of an unknown white bluesplayer '68,way more tastefull then Clapton.
He played like this in '66 already. To mention one..
Clapton would have been impressed.

So I'm right: Taylor has been influenced by my fellow countryman Eelco Gelling and certainly not by EC!

Interesting that in 1968 he sounds like clapton did in 66 though.
Nope, Gelling played like this in' 66(as you can read in my post above),but his recordings are rare .But that's not the issue: his tone,timing and feeling are better than Clapton's.He follows the chord changes,knew what he was doing,(just like Hendrix or mcLaughlin in '64, or Wes mont Gomery,who din't need distortion to impress in '56 see clip) .Something which Clapton never could.Clapton is a one scale guy,for the big
audience.Commercial blues for dummies IMO
Gelling refused an offer to play with Mayall in the 6-tees btw.

Can you prove he played/sounded like that in 1966?.
I don't agree that he's better, but he certainly is one mighty fine geetar player! Better and more exciting than Mick Taylor!
Is that early cuby and the blizzards stuff available on CD?
No,I ,I will have to be a burglar to prove that.
Agree he maybe even better than Taylor or Clapton,not Hendrix I'am afraid.
But cannot you come up with pure musical arguments, such as tone,timing improvisation;playing over chord changes like Taylor,Hendrix or Wes (more jazzy though) do,and genuine blues.
Let's start simple:did you ever notice how clever Taylor is in mixing between Major and minor blues scales in the same key,something Eric never does? Otherwise we never get out of this Clapton kindergarten level, ok?-I'am sorry.

Why would Taylor lie about being influenced by Clapton?
I personally can hear the influence. Taylor played alot of Claptonesque licks.

Dude, Clapton switches between major and minor scales in the same key all the time. Listen to any of his blues performances on youtube besides "Double Trouble". It's in a minor key so he stays in the minor scale but otherwise he does alot of switching up.

I don't see a great resemblance between the playing of Taylor and Clapton. Taylor is a lot more jazzy, whereas Eric is very dry, almost bordering on being bland. Eric has never truly moved me as a guitar player. Maybe Mick Taylor is a little more like Carlos Santana to a degree, except he isn't so musically flamboyant, and he has a much more soulful touch, much more subtle, so to speak.

He stated this in an interview relating to him stepping in one night for a no-show Clapton in 1966. He was only 17!

Sure.
Depends basically on the quality of the teacher and the subject dealing with.

He's hitting the C# in some of his runs, multiple times in the first minute alone. C# is in A major pentatonic, not minor. But he does stick mostly to minor pentatonic for "Groaning The Blues" with the exception of the occasional major scale note. If you wanna hear him switch between the two, go listen to nearly any version of "Have You Ever Loved A Woman". Like the one I've included here. Doubt you could argue with that one.
