This is a performance by Eric Clapton, he plays the classic Robert Johnson song "They're Red Hot". It is a somewhat different Johnson song, because it isn't based on the classic 12-bar blues, but on a classic ragtime chord progression instead.
The clip is from the Robert Johnson film "Sessions for Robert J.". Clapton plays the chord progression while his band get to solo on the progression.
Clapton once said:
"We thought he was accompanied by someone[...]my take on Robert Johnson so far is that it needs two people to play what he plays and sing at the same time"
I think he was right!The song also gained some notoriety when covered by The Red Hot Chili Peppers, but I prefer Clapton's version.
A great song and performance, enjoy ; )
