  • Hi GMC'ers! In this lesson I'll show you some licks by Eric Clapton. He's played in bands such as: Cream, Derek and the Dominos, and Blind Faith.

    Although Clapton has varied his musical style throughout his career, it has always remained grounded in the blues; despite this focus, he is credited as an innovator in a wide variety of genres. ("Eric Clapton", Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia)

    In this lesson I tried to cover his signature melodic lines. Pay close attention to the bends and the bluesy phrases, to capture his signature tone.

    If you have any questions:
    * Give feedback (upper-right-corner)
    * General Forum

    Techniques:
    * Bluesy Bends
    * Bluesy Phrases
    * Slides
    * Hammer-ons
    * Pull-offs

    Have fun!/ Denes Nagy
