Hi all - I am a complete novice and am hoping someone can explain a term re Eric Clapton's solo at the Nelson Mandela Tribute. Apparently the poster felt that Clapton's solo in Money For Nothing contained a "noob" and that M Knopfler was not pleased. Any general ideas on what a "noob" in someone's playing (especially Clapton's mastery) might mean? Thank you for your comments.
After hunting around Youtube for a while, I found this video. I assume it's the one you were talking about.
The comment I think you are referring to is on the second page of comments, right?
Now, as to the "noob" comment... Have you heard the term troll?
'cause that's what I assume is going on there.
Pay no attention to most of the comments on Youtube videos. There's not often a lot of value in them.

Massive, massive +1 to that.
yeah, the term noob basically is "newbie"
Saying Eric Clapton is a noob is funny. I think Knopfler is a better guitarist, but when you get to that level, does it really matter? LOL.
Guy who said it most likely is just trying to start stuff.

VERY wise post.
I play the guitar, I taught myself how to play the guitar, which was a bad decision... because I didn't know how to play it, so I was a sh***y teacher. I would never have went to me. -Mitch Hedberg

I disagree....of course there's someone......I think Knopfler is more creative & not necessarily a better guitar player.
In fact, I love some of Clapton's stolen riffs.
