I watch a lot of these lessons just to see what these guys have to say about stuff and how they word it so I can better explain it to people myself.
So that might be a reason why you’d watch it even if this is old news to you?

It seems to me like Clapton actually plays different shapes, though it’s mostly first, second and third shape pentatonic stuff with some added notes. But i do agree with you that playing relatively simple stuff that still sound amazing is more impressive than shredding all over the neck.

Too true man. Those mental palyers man be fast, but at the end of the day its complete nonsence. And I saw BB King a few months back.. HE ROCKED!

Maybe you could spend your time acquiring keyboarding skills.

yeah, i mean B.B. King, king of the blues plays very very few notes but he’s got a lot of soul, and thats a win. Without soul it doesnt matter you can play 5000000000 notes per second

its all about soul man, not the amount of notes you can play

good lesson,but i also think it’d be good to practice the higher end of the exercise using your 4th finger more,for exmaple using the 2nd and 4th fingers to fret the G and A note on the B string and C and D on the E string, to help get strength in the 4th finger and also to get you into the habit of using it instead of finding ways not to use it

well….in the layla intro he plays the little bass melody…. thats one position….and then he plays the bass meoldy octives higher along with the lead….another position….and techniquely in the solo, he uses the expanded scale so thats another position… thats 3 positions he used in that song.

man, i love these guys!!
i have a fender music master from 1960’s
i got this when i was in grade school.
what can a person play with one these?
i think it only has 1 pickup on it.
i have a matching fender tube amp that i got at the same time.
i listen to rock, metal, blues and anything like it.
i would like to try and play again.
any suggestions greatly appreciated.

no what i mean is he isent the type of player that flies all over the fretboard like lets say SRV…if you know what i mean…
and to answer your question check out the layla solo…live…at the madison square garden…..
there is a version of it here on youtube….

tell me where he just uses one position?
let me give you an example where he uses mutiple positions… wonderful tonight….
the intro riff is played somewhere in the 12 fret position… the solo he does uses the 3rd fret position and 15 fret position…

ok i have a question…….
i really dont feel like clapton flyies all over the neck…he is usually in one position..and he plays is still amazing at what he does….isent that worth people’s respect more than anything ?? being able to stay in one position, and still be as they say “a guitar god” rather than having to fly all over the neck to get the same effect ????
thanks to all….
