yes they do STEAL so deliberately...Paganini, Bach cello suites, Vivaldi violin licks, etc...
BUT just throw some
Segovia at them...
the old joke is "how do you get a guitar player to shut up?" Put a chart in front of them.
I have grown a greater respect for Clapton's work over his carreer, he seems to really have DUG IN and got a masterful hold of the delta blues genre; elevating the same to an almost 'composed' artifice;
but the whole 'prog-rock', 'classical-rock' ideal just seems so ...yesterday...to me.
It's just no special thing today to hear a searing guitar solo on top of full orchestra.
