as for cc deville, you're the lucky one, deville played for poison, quite possibly one of the worst guitarists ever.

I have the strangest feeling this isn't a joke...

They both pulled from the same sources, but Clapton just did it better. SRV (though amazingly talented) reallly wanted to be Jimi Hendrix. And even though he did an exellent job, nobody can be Jimi Hendrix. I don't even think Jimi could keep up with himself. There was nothing new about SRV's stuff, he just hit it off so big because there was finally music by talented people to be played on the radio. Had Stevie and Clapton came to the scene at the same time, I'm pretty sure Stevie would win, chops-wise... but because Clapton was one of the guys who started this blues-rock thing, he gets more points from me. Also, most of SRV's stuff is sonically similar... loud blues rock, Texas style... Clapton has made much more DIFFERENT music. You always know when you're listening to Stevie, and with Clapton it's a little more difficult.

Better guitar player? SRV
Better music? Clapton

Definately.

Both very inspired artists though.

I agree with a lot of what has been posted here and I suppose, if based strictly on the "athletic" talent of playing guitar, I would have to go with SRV, but there is more to playing the blues than just that. Niether of these guys was/is particulary innovative or original; both wore their influences on their sleeve, so to speek. EC was clearly influenced by a whole host of guitarists, including Freddie King, Buddy Guy, Albert King, etc. SRV was influenced by Lonnie Mack(surprised not much mention of him), Albert King, Kenny Burrell, etc. I get the feeling that the sheer breadth of EC's career is getting short shrift here: Yardbirds, Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominos, solo. The 'Bluesbreakers With Eric Clapton' and 'Layla', imo, both surpass anything that SRV recorded in terms of lasting impact. Not to mention EC's version of 'Crossroad'(which, of course, I just did).

CC Deville was the guitarist for legendary drag queen/hair metal band Poison. I forget who Phill Keaggy is. I don't think pastor was trying to say that Clapton was by default better than SRV because he hadn't heard SRV, but rather that until he'd heard enough SRV to formulate a legitimate opinion Clapton would still reign supreme and remain GOD.

I belive Ckapton is better, he's a much mroe versatile guitarist being bale to play rock n roll as well as blues and much softer rock as well..
