Anyone know who the guitarist is on this clip? I thought Eric Clapton played on the track?

From certain angles he shares a few similarities with EC's face, but he most certainly isn't. If you pay attention he is holding a bass guitar, even though he probably just shakes it. I think it is an early video, so everybody imitates playing. E. Clapton plays a fantastic guitar on Cold Turkey.
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

The musicians in this clip are all miming for promo I think. Klaus Voormann from Hamburg, who was also playing bass on the actual recording, is the guy with the white shirt and the beard. Note that he is obviously playing a bass, the same as the guy with the hat who is obviously not Eric Clapton, but BP Fallon, as I found out via Google.

Look at this link: www.bpfallon.com, and search for Instant Karma:

Cold turkey also features Lennon on guitar (I guess his ES-335)
its' hard to say who play what
I'd say Lennon playing the main riff, and EC just some lead licks
