Once we figure out how it works, I’ll show you how to use those 3 things to MAKE YOUR OWN LICK! Tons of fun and SUPER useful if you want to go beyond simply learning other people’s stuff. It’s also going to be found throughout the song! In wonderful tonight, he starts it off, showing you why he’s one of the best guitar players of all time with this amazingly simple riff – and we’re gonna figure out how he makes it work. A good hook isn’t just something that you find during the chorus of a song.

It’s one thing to be able to play a cool lick but it’s another thing to take that small idea and expand it and fill out an entire 20 seconds of a song in a meaningful way that the listener can latch on to – something that they’re going to remember.

The third thing you can learn is the elements of phrasing. Clapton is a master of this and that’s one of the reasons why we’re analyzing his work – to figure out how to get this into our own playing! You need to work on your technique in order to make sure you nail that tone. When you’re bending, you’re going between the frets, and you’re in control of the pitch, just like a singer, or a violinist. You’ll press a note and the fret will ensure that that note is in tune. When we bend the string, we’re in charge of the pitch. The second thing it can teach us is how to make perfect bends. With those in mind, we learn the lick, break it all down and figure out how to practice those embellishments. It also combines a band with a pull off which is a great way to move into intermediate territory with lead guitar. First of all, it’ll make sure that you know all the main embellishments on guitar, bends, slides, pull offs and hammer ons. This legendary riff contains three essential things it can teach us that will make you a better lead guitar player.
