Slowhand
"Slowhand" is a nickname for Eric Clapton, the renowned British guitarist and musician. The term originated in the 1970s when Clapton earned a reputation for his relaxed, precise guitar playing, often taking his time to craft each note—hence "slow hand." It also references an incident where he accidentally broke a guitar string during a concert, and the crew quickly replaced it, as if he had "slowly" fixed it. The nickname underscores his skillful, deliberate style and is a term of endearment that highlights his mastery and cool, composed demeanor on stage.
