Clapton played a refinished red Les Paul on the Beatles' studio recording of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", then gave the guitar to George Harrison.

It was during Eric Clapton's time with the Yardbirds that Eric Clapton tickets acquired the nickname "Slowhand". Whenever Eric Clapton broke a guitar string on stage Eric Clapton would immediately replace it himself; British audiences would respond with slow hand claps until Eric Clapton was finished and ready to play again. Inspired by this, and also in ironic reference to Eric Clapton's 'fast' playing, the Yardbirds' manager Giorgio Gomelsky christened him "Slowhand" Clapton.

Clapton's close friendship with George Harrison had brought him into contact with Harrison's wife Pattie Boyd, with whom Eric Clapton became deeply infatuated. When Eric Clapton spurned Eric Clapton's advances, Eric Clapton's unrequited affections prompted most of the material for the Dominos' album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, most notably the hit single "Layla", inspired by the classical Persian poet Nezami Ganjavi's The Story of Layla and Majnun, a copy of which Eric Clapton's friend Ian Dallas had given him. The book moved Eric Clapton tickets profoundly as it was the tale of a young man who fell hopelessly in love with a beautiful, unavailable woman and who went crazy because Eric Clapton couldn't marry her.
